Week 8 Game Summary
So sad. So very sad. A beautiful morning with cool temperatures and overcast skys and we can't even get 8 players? I know it was raining pretty hard early but by 8:30, it wasn't raining at all. We didn't have a drop the entire game. Besides, even if we did, WE PLAY IN THE RAIN! Understand, last year, it was raining at 7:00/8:00ish in the morning on many Saturdays and then magically it would lighten up or stop by 9:00 or so almost every single time. They say god likes football so maybe that's a sign. In any case, I get up early and start monitoring the weather radar looking to see what's coming. I've gotten very good predicting whether we'll have a window of weather to play in so next time, get up and read your email. My forecast will be there.

So with only 7, we got creative and played 3 on 3 with an all-time QB but to make it interesting, we had every player play 2 series back-to-back as QB. That meant I had to throw and but fortunately I got lucky. I drew up good plays and generally picked the right receiver but half of my throws were uncatchable, a quarter were bad but catchable and a quater were good. Fortunately, that's all it took because I threw 2 TDs. Matt Day had 2 also. No one else had more than one. Like I said, a sad week when Matt and I are the top QBs : P

Week 9 Preview
Lets look for something better this week. Week 7 was a great game. Lets go for something like that. I'm looking for 14-16 guys to come out. Now, Saturday the 3rd is the Big 12 Championship Game. It's on at noon. So we need to have people show up on time (9:00 or preferably earlier) so we can get in a good game that ends at 11:30 so people can get home for the Championship if they're interested.

REMEMBER - WE PLAY IN THE RAIN - seriously (have I made that clear enough? : )

Week 7 Game Summary

Well, after having to cancel week 6 due to lack to available players, this week was a strong return to form. We had 14 by 9:15 and a couple stragglers show up a bit later. Jeremy put on an offensive and defensive clinic with TD passes and a rediculous run as well as taking 2 picks back for TDs.

Week 8 Preview
Enought people said they'd be able to play this weekend that it looks like we'll be playing. Still, it wouldn't hurt to look for a few new guys. I put the game up on Austin 360, Craigslist, and Evite Events last Thursday night and got an email this morning so that should be one new guy.

11/12/05 GAME CANCELLED

I wanted to let everyone know that Flag Football for 11/12/05 has been canceled. The EVITE currently shows 5 yeses, 3 maybes and a whole bunch of nos. I'm not going to ask people to come out when if EVERYBODY who has replied yes and maybe were to show we'd only have 8. I will play with 8 but I know some guys don't like playing that with that few. Besides, I'm not sure of one or two of the yeses because of the "RSVP for whole series" problem.

I'm really disappointed (and desperately needed to play this week) but better you all have the chance to make other plans than for you to show up and sit around for a hour only to realize we have 5 or worse.

Game on for 11/19/05

Hey,

What is the deal you pansies...8 people? Come on. Let's play some ball!!!!!

Week 5 Game Summary

Well, we were a little short last week. 11 Players meant we had to play without a line and do a bit more running around than normal (no line means less pressure, means more time for the QB to stand and wait, means more running around down field). It wasn't a bad day all things considered though. Lot of positives in the game. Leo had no picks however, his/our team unfortunately didn't have a win either. Still, it was fun to have a little old school action.

I was just looking at a web site about McNeil high football and it looks like the last varsity game is tonight.

There is a note from the coach that says they missed the play-offs.

Here's the schedule.
