football

Today's game is finally called off. It's been raining all day. I really thought they might have those boys run around on that wet field. Thank goodness they didn't. We've already had 2 broken legs this year. I remember talking about going out for football when I was in High School. I wanted to do it for all the wrong reasons (feminism and such). I don't know how my parents would have stomached that!

Last week our coach gave his little pep talk at the pep rally. He spoke about a dream he had, where he spoke words that had never been spoken before in the history of the world. What were those words? He had us on the edge of our seats... they were "I cannot wait to go to Effingham tonight." This made me laugh. Hard. As I have been to Effingham (well, through it anyway) and I believe it may be true. I doubt those words have been spoken before in the history of the world. He couldn't wait to get to Effingham because he wanted to destroy the team and send those Effingham boys "crying home to mommy." This was the most interesting pep talk I have witnessed. We came back with a win.
