Proclamation of the 14th Annual Rotter Rocker Raleigh Coed Super Soccer Smackdown 2014 Edition

Yes, it is once again that time to use the phrase "it is once again that time." Why?  Because it is once again that time to take on our most rivalrous of rivals, the Raleigh Rockers, in the rivalrous Rotter Rocker Raleigh Soccer Super Smackdown, that game that has a different name every time it is typed.

It will be a game of soccer.  It will be at 1pm, Sunday January 12th.  It will be played on a soccer or softball field somewhere in Raleigh.

 Many of you can remember, at least vaguely, last year's contest, in which the Rotters fulminated forth onto the field and inflicted a crushing tie upon their Rocker rivals.   This triumphant equaling has never been carved into the storied stone-tablet internet annals of Rotter history. It is herewith carved.

Can the Rotters pull off a similar crushing tie in 2014?  Can they even perhaps score more goals then the Rockers, thereby winning the game?  These things are shrouded in the mist of an unknown future.  Yet, we can mold the future with the powerful hammer of Rotter athletic determination.  Shall we once again wield that hammer, the one  that smashed the Wandering Grovers? Crushed the Tobacco Squirrels? Flattened Telecris, or whatever the hell they were called?  Shall we? Huh?
Yes, it is 2014, a year with a futuristic science fictionish name.  Some say we should be living in sky cities with jetpacks, flying cars, and robot dogs.  Yet, alas, here we are on the slushy Earth, with earthbound cars and regular dogs, or perhaps cats, or no pets at all.  That's not the point.  Maybe there is no point.  Or maybe, in a few short weeks, we can stride forth onto the slushy earth of a soccer/softball field and again bring glory to the Rotter name. 

Look in your emails or on this internet site for the location of the game.  That is important.  Also look for word of a forthcoming Secret Strategy Session. We shall harness the power of Powerpoint, and we shall be ready.
