We played 8v8 in the slush. Gio, Tito, Big Jim, Cooley, Twinkle Toes, Criminal, The UF, Kevin, Bob V, Tommy B, and new T fans, Tom C, Justin, Ben, Andrew, Brad, and one more (baseball coach at Madison?) That's right, you read correctly: The UF decided to take a break from his musical forays and play some football! It was wet and nasty - perfect football weather. VYI has taken the posts down at Waters so our ability to convert extra points has gone way up. Final score was 32 - 24, I think. Fred S took video of coverage of this epic event and it is now posted on youtube. Many thanks to Fred for coming out on this sloppy day. I hope to see him again when the play is a bit more precise! The highlight(s) of the day has to go to Justin with 4 interceptions (I think), two returned for touchdowns. If you are the opposing QB, watch that linebacker in the middle 'cause he's watching you.
Mrs T. received a very cool present from Mr. T fan Laura G at a recent party. That's a photo of the coveted prize to the right. You know you want one but, sorry, it's one of a kind. Who knew Christmas ornaments could be so cool?!
I found an article about competition in the Washington Post's archives. Think playing football is tough? You can read it yourself but what's interesting to me is how the town of Kirkwall, Scotland splits up geographically for the Old Ba' Game. For Mr. T football, there is a lot of smack every week about how the "red" team did this or did not do that. But it's meaningless historically because the "red" team has different players every week. So I thought it would be interesting if we could create teams geographically like North vs South or East vs West and make them permanent. Of course, we will always adjust when it's needed. See the poll to the right? If you play, answer it and let's see what we come up with.
This week it's time once again for the annual hangover bowl played on the 1st @ 10AM @ Waters field. And of course we also play on Saturday the 2nd @ 9AM @ Waters. It's double the pain with back-to-back days of football. So, don't drink too much. This is Mr. T football and we are serious about sports!
See you Friday, 10 AM, Waters field. Remember when Mr. T wasn't so way cool and awesome? Me neither. Show up and don't be a prissy!

yep, a good game all round. good to have the age spread there to push all to even greater exertion. while passing and receptions were not the standard of sharpness we normally expect, it was nonetheless and excellent mornings work - at least we weren't lazying about packing calories....
Fran Bardenton the scrambla?! Lookin good mon. And nice slowmo sound footage Freddy.
I spent a few hours last night going over the game film, studying tendencies, and reviewing techniques to improve my play this week. LOL
I only wish that the comeback portion of our win would have also been recorded.
Reppin' Da Church!
