VIDEO: More than a Threat. (the introduction)

Where do I start?  First, my name is Jesse Booker.  I'm a long time resident of Racine County who grew up in Mt. Pleasant on Prairie Dr right by Mt. Trashmore.  To not waist too much of your time about myself.... I graduated from Case in 2000, went to Oshkosh for one year, and I'm ex military.  I also have an amazing wife, and two wonderful children who are featured in my profile picture.

These blog posts are not about me though.... they're about a group of men from your exact same community.  These posts are about men who grew up as individuals, but have banded together as teammates.  These entries are about are about a group of 60 gentlemen known as the Racine Threat!

Yup... the Racine Threat. (website here - http://www.racinethreat.org/ ) You read it right... I know you haven't heard of us.  Quite a darn shame if you ask me, but you're not alone.  The two women from the Patch who granted me the ability to write these blogs never heard of us.  Don't feel bad, I'm here to educate you.  I won't walk you through a 2 hour history lesson, that's what Google is for, lol... all I'll say is, we've been around a decade.... and we have missed all of you.  

These blog entries aren't to necessarily give you a run down of the score, or a synopsis of the game... but to introduce you to the man behind the face mask.  The man you work next to who doesn't mention that he plays semi pro ball for the simple fact that you'll say, "Oh for the Raiders?" because we ALWAYS have to respond, "No the OTHER Racine team, the Threat."

Throughout the season I'll be doing interviews of men from your communities to help shed light on the magic happening within our team.  Hopefully this blog will be captivating enough to generate some positive energy within the community, and entertaining enough to get you excited to come attend some of our games.  

Here is a link to a photo gallery from our last game.... http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150251539348233.320585.521318232 

Do you recognize some faces?  Do the names seem familiar?  95% of our roster is from this very community... the other team that you all know and love can't say the same.

The outcome of our first game? We won 20-19.... here's the play that sealed the deal. 4th and 18 from our own 23, 30 seconds left, down 5.......

If that's not exciting enough to generate some interest... I don't know what is.

Thank you so much for taking time to read, here's too many more posts from me as long as you'll come back and interact!  Share this with a friend who may also be interested in keeping up with the REAL home town team... THE RACINE THREAT!
