Football

The football awesomeness for the week started last night. I went down to UC to play Ultimate Frisbee (because that's what we do on Wednesday nights) and there were a bunch of people there. We started passing around a football and when everyone got there I asked how many people wanted to play football instead. It was voted that we should play football 10 out of 11. It was so fun. I learned a lot about some of my friends most importantly of all, like Cat Wade, Jen Biller is a force to be reckoned with. I was returning a kick near the sideline and she was running sort of angularly towards me. I slowed down because I thought she was going to just push me out of bounds. Turns out she actually had in mind to hurt me...I got flipped on my back from a running forward position. I am sore from many different things that happened, but maybe none more than that. Derek got knocked out making a huge 4th down play that virtually ended the game. he didn't remember anything that happened after that last night. It was sort of funny how he kept asking how he got places and what happened. So it was totally awesome even though my team lost by 2. That's really how it should have ended considering they had 6 people to our 5, but it didn't really matter who won because it was so fun. I was really surprised that so many people were willing to play football. Excellent time indeed. Oh then it was capped off by Stephanie buying us all dinner after that because some how she had 50 meal plan tickets left with a week to go in the quarter.

To end the week here would be fine, but tonight the Bengals played the ravens. I personally was pretty nervous for the game. The Ravens have looked really good this year, and we needed to win or they clinched the division. It was an awesome game indeed. I mostly only got to see the second half but it was fantastic. Who knew the Bengals could play defense? So now we are 7-5 and for the moment the number one contender for the AFC wild card spot. Thats important because unless we get help, even if we win out we still shouldn't win the division. I look for Denver to struggle with the Jay Cutler break in period, and it remains to be seen if Trent Green still has a bruised brain or not. who knew that Robert Geathers may yet have had the biggest impact of anyone on our hopes for the playoffs. Jacksonville is the team that scares me. We shall see. I am excited for the long break for the Bengals, I really hope they get it together during that time so that we can win out the season. We really only have one major hump, the Colts, left int he season. I think the Denver game will be close because of there D, but we will win in the end. Pittsburgh and Oakland just SUCK. That's it for tonight I am just pleased with the win for now.
