This is me: Wake-up at 8 AM look out the window and see all the snow, get my gear on, run downstairs, like a 5 year old on Christmas morning. "Honey", I say, "this is going to be great!" Outside, shovel my walk, clear off my truck and head off to Waters field. At this hour you get to make first tracks through the snow, fish-tailing just because, busting through the snow walls that the plows created. Yee Ha! I arrive at Waters at 8:45 and nobody is there. Hmm. They'll show. They're not all prissys. So I start to set up the field, alone. Mike P arrives and he just walked from his house one mile away. But, he is the only one. I'm starting to wonder about the company I keep. Are they really all this lame? Only thing we need is endzones, a couple of trash cans and a couple of cones do the trick. Mike and I set up the field. Finally, three more show - Kevin, Twinkle Toes & Murdock - and it looks like we will play. I need to make some quick calls. I dial up the UF and Mrs. UF answers, "Oh, he'll be right along. I told him he had to have some food before he went out in the snow so I made him breakfast." Wow. It's already 9:10 so I call Criminal, "On my way", he answers. "Game starts at 9", I reply. I call Big Jim, "I'm digging out." "Hurry", I say.
If you are not named above then,
This is you: Wake-up whenever, look outside and think "No way they'll play in this. It's impossible." Or your wife says, "Honey, I don't think its safe. It's just foolish going out in this." And you listen. Prissy.
We played 4v4 in two feet of snow - tackle! That's right, tackle! And it was awesome. On one side we had Twinkle Toes, Mike P, Murdock & Tommy B and we scored 4 TDs. On the other there was Criminal, the UF, Kevin & Big Jim and they scored 3 TDs. Running in two feet of snow is really, really hard but it is an amazing work-out. We had quick dumps, shovel passes, bombs, sweeps & options. Diving catches - even when diving wasn't necessary. And tackles, lots of tackles!
So where were you? Ice fishing? Did your car breakdown? Life is short, so play while you can.
Last game of the season will be Saturday 2/13 @ 9 AM @ Waters. The snow will still be on the field - don't be a prissy. Again.

Don't we just need 8 votes to play 4v4 again?
Was on my way. Just finsished shoveling out at about 9:10am. Then my neighbor across the street fell down the stairs dislocated her shoulder. Grabbed her husband's snowblower and cleared most of thier 200ft. driveway and much of the street for the ambulance. We'll see about tomorrow. I'm a maybe. Sorry.
