Clark University intramural soccer team ABCDE FC was delivered a crushing defeat at the hands of the SILENCE OF THE LAHMS this Sunday at the Dolan, losing by an unprecedented 132-17 score. ABCDE FC’s midfield and defense quickly broke down, allowing a goal every 22.7 seconds and a literally countless number of shots.

Team Captain Alana Daily (’19) shared her disappointment with The Freudian Slip, saying her team was “both outplayed and outclassed [Sunday]” and that “our minds were clearly in another place.” The Freudian Slip speculates that they were all thinking about ostriches, since that was where our mind went when we stopped paying attention to the game.

Towards the end of the first half, shortly after the net itself ripped in half due to overuse, The Freudian Slip sought out Intramural League Coordinator Jess Michael (’18) for comment on the match. She just simply told us that this was pretty normal for when a team with jerseys plays a team without jerseys.

Hipster Quote of the Week:

The message at the end of “The Tortoise and the Hare” isn’t that ‘slow and steady wins the race’, but actually a well-remembered quote from the 1977 Disney classic “A New Hope”: “Great kid! Don’t get cocky”. Bullshit that the hare was gonna lose that race if he didn’t choose to stop for a nap and a snack and whatever else he did. Bullshit that the tortoise was going to catch up in any capacity if the hare didn’t slow down for him. Maybe that platitude makes sense, but definitely not in this situation.

 

A race is a sheer contest of speed. No other skills go into that. The tortoise and the hare aren’t making miniature wooden horses and getting judged on the craftsmanship of their products alongside their finish time; they are moving from one point to another. In no universe does slow and steady win that race. Slow and steady wins no races, except for races where the point is to go as slow as possible. Even in cases where slow and steady could be considered a possible alternative to fast, such as the aforementioned miniature-wooden-horse-making competition, someone who can do similar quality work at a much faster pace still wins that competition.

 

Slow and steady does not win the race. Not being too full of yourself does.."
