2012 Spring predictions ....



1) The weather will be a significant factor. Please, please my dear Oakland County friends and neighbors and co-Force parents -- don't report me to L. Brooks, Rush, one tough nerd, Mr. Beck, or The National Review for saying so. But when you think back to last year's spring deluge and this year's non-winter now grafting into an early July you have to at least consider that the times might indeed be a chang'in.

2) Speaking of changes: I think we can safely predict a growth spurt of one kind of another will play a determining role in the spring!

3) Cookie's patient and rather remarkable work with ball possession will show through as we get outside -- but expect some early season regression as the girls adjust to smaller outdoor fields (what a strange modern world -- where indoor pitches are bigger than outdoor ones!). Our speed and quickness is less of an advantage at cramped and crumbing Novi and Canton fields where physical bump and run teams can thrive. Take it from a former big kid who liked contact: if I can get closer to you I have the advantage -- if I have to run more to get to you, you have the advantage. I still have nightmares of playing on the punt team in American football.



4) Lauren is due for a highlight footage goal from distance. Get the video cameras ready.

5) Now that the Fitness Forest has a full time PR professional Cookie's bootcamp attendance will double!

6) Jill's Dad's Iron Maiden inspired outbursts at officials will finally yield a yellow card.
