The FOSS debut season started full of great hopes and expectations. Fresh from an intense training camp in which new techniques were utilized, including the "hotbox," they were ready to win. They came out with a ton of energy and looked good. Unfortunately a few close losses but a damper on their spirits.
Finally, in their fourth matchup, they were able to finish the game and get the victory. Many hopeful fans thought this would be the turning point in the season, but they were sadly mistaken. But this did not stop the die hard FOSS fans from returning again and again to see the dazzling play of their star players, including the player/ head coach Nathan Ghiorso (who may resemble Hitler (refer to press conference video).
The highlight of the season was that FOSS developed a devoted fan base who came to cheer on the team in rain or shine. In the second half of the season the team was a contender in every game they played. The problem was interceptions. Interceptions were the Achilles Heel of the FOSS. This will be taken care of in the off season with an even hotter 'hot box'. There were missed opportunities, yes, but Shoulder Shrug competed.
In fact in their second to last game, their opponents were so scared of them that one of the team members asked a girl he didn't even like to marry him just so the rest of the team could go to Las Vegas for a bachelor party to escape the ferocity of the Shoulder Shrug.
The team ended their season in an electrifying, down to the wire finish. After a first half in the finale FOSS really brought it in the second. With one play to tie the game, the refs called the QB time limit a bit early (we think rivals paid them off). Even though they didn't come out with a win they showed real promise for next season.
So a message for the fans: Get ready for the Fair Oaks Shoulder Shrug to bring it in the next season.
