Week 1 Game Summary: Dear Diary: Jason noticed what I was wearing!! I tried to play it cool but I was so nervous. I hope he didn't notice . . .
Soap opera aside, it was quite a first game. Final score was 4-1, I believe; Yellow over Red. Obviously I would have liked a closer game but it took Red a while to get things going and Yellow had a stronger pass rush and the fastest receivers for most of the game (I say that as someone who was on the Red team). Since it was 9 on 9, QBs could run and Yellow's defense managed to make Nick look like Vick when he pulled it down to run. Nick had the year's first TD on one such run. Given his rushing TD and his team's score which was mostly achieved through the air (didn't he also have a pick?), I declare Nick the MVP of the game.
The biggest surprises of the game were Louis making out (after call me at 9:00 to say he was in SA and wouldn't make it), Leo NOT making it out (after RSVPing as a Yes and coming out to our QB camp on Wednesday night), and Brian Zieser having moved back to keep playing (he claims it was to be responsible for a coming child but we know better).
Week 2 Game Preview: Perhaps a tighter game, a bit more scoring and hopefully better weather (cooler, less humid, and especially much less wind) though the long rang forecast isn't promising.

Week 1 Preview:
Its the first game of the 13th season. The schedule include 35 weeks of glorious football (give or take a cancelation or two due to holidays).
We'll start the season on the small field behind the softball field at McNeil. We'll move to the regular fields after McNeil finishes their football season. If we get too many players to make the smaller field work (it accommodates an 8 on 8 game) even with a little substitution (early weeks are hard on endurance), we can move to the regular fields BUT we have to pay the school $100 for the week (until their football season finishes).
Buy new gloves, get your cleats out, if you haven't been getting ready, do a hard little running in them. Nothing starts you acclimating to the pounding of football like running on rock hard ground in new cleats.
Hope to see everyone there.
