Shootouts are a sucky way to decide an elimination game.

Thanks, and the best part of it

My mom fell UP the steps a couple of summers ago and she broke her femur. I know. It's not easy. I hope you and your family recover soon.

...the lawn, I think Nat Geo is getting ready to send a team into the lost jungle of my yard.

Gawd help my lawn mower once Im up and going.

IE, pretty sure you said you went to Salesianum. Back in pre-shootout 1982 Sallies and Concord played an EPIC state final that actually lasted over two days. Score was tied 2-2 at the end of regulation, played OT to completion and then a couple of sudden death 5 minute OTs. Had to stop play - it was too late on a school night. Came back two days later, played 2 more 15 minute halves to their completion, both teams scored to make it 3-3 and then golden goal 5 minute periods after that. I can't even remember who won or what the time of the golden goal was but it was amazing to witness.
