Flux Capacitors - NSL Champions

This fall, I finally found enough time to put together a co-ed soccer team to play in the Nashville Sports Leagues. Through playing intramurals at Vanderbilt, I've met a handful of people who are pretty good at soccer, and I was able to recruit most of them to play with us. When I added in a few others I know in the Nashville area (a guy from Paris and a girl I played UTC club soccer with), I had put together a pretty solid team.

We lost two games in the regular season: one was our first game against a good team (we really just hadn't played together before) and the other was against the league's top team on a day when more than half of our regular squad was out of town.

Yesterday, we played in the final two games of the playoffs. We won the semi-final match 3-0, and the championship game 8-1. I'm very excited about winning it all, and our team plans to continue to play together when outdoor starts back up in the spring.

So for those who may be curious, we got our team name basically because I'm a firm believer in teams having "uniforms" (wearing the same shirt). I browsed 6dollarshirts.com looking for a pop culture reference to serve as both a team name and cheap uniform. There were a couple other ideas that we threw around, but in the end, the team voted on Flux Capacitors.

despite how optimistic this picture looks,
