another football season has begun. yeah, i pretty much get to play football year round with all those flag football leagues and just playing with friends, but this is the real deal. getting to put on the pads, hitting each other, getting bloody, and getting dirty. and oh, how dirty we got. it had been such beautiful weather the month leading up to our first game. that however changed the day before as snow began to fall.
i thought we were going to be lucky. it stopped snowing pretty quickly, and our game was later in the day so i thought for sure
all the snow would have cleared up. but the morning of game day there still lay a nice blanket of snow on our field, and by the third game, that snow was turned into a nice big mud puddle. this did not play to our strengths, but it worked great for our opponents.
for the most part, my team is pretty small, but we're pretty quick. we excel in the skill positions and we have a nice balance between passing and running. well that balance is lost in the mud. the advantage usually goes to the bigger team that can control the offensive line. that was not us on this day. it was an ugly and sloppy game. there was probably close to 15 fumbles between the two teams. and i, being forced to play quarterback this season, often found myself being slammed into the mud. it was a rough game all around. in the end we came up just a play short, losing 12 to 9.
the second game was the complete opposite. we were blessed with a beautiful 70 degree day. this meant we could actually pass the ball as well as run. on my first pass of the day, i found my little brother kyle (who is driving down 2 hours every morning to play with us) for a nice 30 yard touchdown. i also later ran in a touchdown, threw 2 extra points, and intercepted a pass. we ended up winning the second game 33 to 0.
despite the miserable first game, the second game gets me so excited for the season. we have a good team. our biggest weakness will be quarterback (me). we've got half of the guys back from last year, plus some new studs, including my little bro kyle. we also may or may not have a certain former byu running back who now may play for the bears. i feel a little bad about having a nfl player on our team, but i want to win so i think i'll get over it. thank you stalled nfl labor talks.
