Week 30 Summary: Going into this week's game, I was worried. We only had 11 yeses on the Evite and it was Draft Weekend - plus it rained hard Friday night. Then I got to the field and found they'd aerated it and the rain had filled in all the holes. Fortunately the freshman field was actually in pretty good shape. No lines, but plenty of grass to keep us from turning it into a mudpit. Not only that but we got 7 on 7. As to the game itself, if you take out Alex, it was pretty close. But Alex had 4 drive stopping Picks (2 returned for touchdowns and the other 2 very close to the endzone) and 4 or 5 sacks (I can't remember which). Basically, we crowned him MVP before we'd even had our first water break.

Week 31 Preview: Likely a bit warmer this week but hopefully we'll get another good turnout. We've only got a month or so left before the off-season so it's time to make it count.

Week 29 Summary - Week 29 was a bit of a good news/bad news game. The good news was that we had 7 on 7 despite only having 11 on RSVPing yes and despite 2 of those 11 not showing up. The bad news was that it was humid as hell which killed me and Matt wasn't recovered from a 72 mile bike trip a week earlier. So Yellow was hurting (along with my wrist). The game started pretty close and was 2-2 when Chenault had to leave Red and Jesse arrived to take his place. Then Red pulled away - ultimately winning 7-2 or 7-3 depending one the final call which I never quite got. Mike Valdez had a career day with three really big catches - all of them worth applauding. Josh also had a big game but that's not surprising since he brought his own fans. I think I need an odd number of players next week so I can sit out and rest occassionally. The heat is killing me and with my wrist problem, I can't rest up on the offensive line like I normally can : )

Week 30 Preview - Last week of April. Should be a lot like Week 29 in terms of weather. Hopefully not though. I may bring oxygen.

Week 28 Game Summary - Well this week was a little bit disappointing. Only 5 on 5. But we picked up another new player and the reason it was such a small game was the holiday, not injuries or lack of interest. So I'm sure next week will a more normal-sized game. Now if I told you that Nick was the only regular QB we had playing, and the other team used 3 different QBs, you'd probably guess that Nick's team would win, right? There's an expression that defense wins championships. In this case, I think defense lost the game because our's didn't get it done. I managed to let Josh get wide open on the first two drives when I got screwed up on the "stick or switch" question on one play and when I got tangled up with Dan (also on my team). That put us down 2-0 and we never recovered - finishing 7-4 . Still it was a fun game.

Week 29 Preview - Matt back from Egypt, everyone else back from visiting with families, and an offensive line back in our game.

Week 27 Summary: Tight game this week. We had a couple of lead changes which are nice. Some big plays too. I think we made 8 on 8 for a while but then dropped to 7 on 7. These smaller games we've had the past couple weeks have been really good. Still looking forward to a bigger game since its going to be getting hotter.

Week 28 Preview: Think we may be having a few more new guys this week. Spoke to someone last week who said he was going to try to make it out with a couple guys this week.

Week 26 Game Summary: Its funny. We've had such big games over the last few weeks and they'd been so good that I had developed a distaste for small games. 2-man lines generally don't protect the QB very well which has typically made 6 on 6 games less enjoyable. But just when you think you've got it pegged, we have a game like last Saturday. 6 on 6 and just a ton of fun. High scoring but not because of bad defense. There were picks, punts, and stops. But some of those offensive plays were amazing. Brian and Nick each had a beautiful pass that dropped perfectly into their receivers hands in stride where no one but the receivers could get them.

Week 27 Preview: I guess it doesn't matter. Big game, small game. It's all good. See you there.
