Youth = Crappy on the road

So I've got a theory as to why our young players are so "inconsistent" and much to my surprise it's got nothing to do with actual inconsistency in play. It's all about crowd reaction. When you're young you need a lot of positive affirmation. This is why when they do the psuedo olympics in grade school everybody gets a ribbon.

When our players are at home there's thousands of people cheering for them. When they're on the road they don't get that same sort of positive affirmation. So they don't do so well.

Simple as that.

Also, DQ has a pretty awesome new value menu. You should check it out http://blog.dairyqueen.com/2009/02/25/dq-sweet-deals/ I'd gladly make a deal with them to never eat at a competing fast food restaurant if they agreed to keep these sweet deals around.
