Week 25 Summary - Well I guess you can have nice weather in March in Austin. Dry, light breeze, soft but not mushy field - if it had only been overcast (Yellow lost several great throws in the sun) and cooler (you know me, I like highs below 55 for game play) it would have been perfect. Well my nit picks aside, we did have a good game. Got up to 10 on 10 for a while and had quite a game. Unfortunately Yellow didn't score except for 2 safeties, but it was still a good game. I define a good game where nearly everyone has at least one great play and I think that this game had that. Even plays that ended with drops (like the aforementioned sun blinding passes) were great when you consider the throws. It doesn't have to be a touchdown to be great - sometimes is a sack or a key block - a defensed pass or fighting for a catch - the kind of play when even members of the other team congratulate you.

Week 26 Preview - Games like the last week really make me hungry to play again. I simply can't wait until Saturday and hate that its still 5 days away (well 4 by the time most of you will read this in the Evite). See you Saturday.

Week 24 Summary: A wet game. 6 on 6 with a final score of 3-1 Red over Yellow. One of the few decent wet games we've had. Lots of picks from slippery balls but a couple of them were due to solid defense. There were also a couple of nice running plays.

Week 25 Preview: Wouldn't it be great if it was dry and cool and maybe a little overcast? Little much to ask in March in Austin, I guess.

Week 23 Summary - A HUGE game. 11 on 11 with a total of 5 extra players subbing in. We played with a full width field and had an awesome game. I can't remember the final score but I think there was a .5 or 1.5 point margin - Red over Yellow.

Week 24 Preview - Probably not quite as many guys this week but hopefully we'll get 9 on 9.

Week 22 Summary: Okay this was an odd week. In Week 21, it was raining and yet we had 9 on 9. So flash forward one week to Week 22. It warm, sunny, light wind and we get 7 on 7. What happened?

Well, despite the low turnout we still had a good game and it marked the long awaited return of Nick. It was quite game. The game included quite a few trick plays, in addition to the now standard Hook and Ladder to a lineman that Yellow ran several times, Red ran a reverse that somehow managed to come up with a nice gain. A lot of nice defense at times. Couple picks per side. The score was 1.5 to 0 for quite a while, Yellow over Red. Then it was 3.5 to 1 Yellow over Red. Then Red found the endzone and pulled together 4 scores to end it 5 to 3.5.

Week 23 Preview: Who can tell? I'm surprised by the low turnout in Week 22 but hopefully that was an abberation.
