Keenan's $.02

Gents, I’m here to give you a talk. No, not that talk.

This is about the team. No, this is about more than the team. This, gentlemen, is about the family we are as Illinois Boomland.

We’ve all endured crossfits and track workouts together. We’ve all spent time on and off the field with each other, and because of that we’ve become closer than teammates. We’ve become a family.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. Who’s the daddy bear? And my response, quite simply is we don’t have one dad, we have two. McLain and Cozza. That’s right, we’ve got two dads, and we all love it.

We’re all the kids running around, breaking shit and shitting on shit. But those two head up this ship and we listen to them because they know their shit. We’re in this together my friends and the only way we can get through and accomplish what we’ve set out to do is continue to bring this family closer together.

So I ask you this, next time you are bored on some night, give someone else on the team a call. All our phone numbers are on the Google group, and the odds are good one of us is up to something if it’s a weekend. If you have questions on a homework, hit a vet up, chances are there’s someone on the team older than you in your major or who has taken a class you’re in that can help.

That’s my two cents for now gents, I hope that I’ve made my point. We’re a family, and we’ve got to keep that up and strong from here on out. Let’s kill some folks at Chicago Invite and prove that we’re more than anyone thought we are.

Boom,

Keenan
