beaten to the punch
just as I was about to write an entry on the number of foreign trips taken by college clubs, Andy Katz steals my thunder. His piece includes a ton of information, but begins awkwardly.As I noted a month ago, Florida isn't taking a trip to the Bahamas so it can get 10 practices and a few games to start the season. Billy's boys are taking a trip to paradise so the players can get several days on the beach and a few too many drinks before the start of the season.
Given the multitude of clubs taking trips with (semi-)legitimate goals, why did Andy choose to highlight Florida, a notoriously undisciplined team, to start his column?
