Ice Bowl 2012

Mr. T Pro Bowl

The pro's head to Hawaii for a special game every year. In honor of that tradition, Mr. T will head to Cunningham Park ES (it's just like Hawaii!) to play on grass this week. The field is behind the school. Unless the fields are too wet, then we will play at Marshall HS (also just like Hawaii). I will send a note later in the week if it looks like the weather will force us to play on turf. But unless I say otherwise, go to grassy Hawaii! Game time is 9 AM.

I was asked recently if the stuff I write in this blog is all true. The answer is yes. Absolutely. 100 percent.

Ice Bowl

We had 5v5 for the Ice Bowl. East beat West 56-28. East had The Judge, Tom C, Dancing Star, The UF, Mike P and Criminal. West had Patrick M, Big Jim, 4X, Kevin W and Tommy B. The Judge threw 7! TD passes to Tom C(3), Dancing Star(2), Criminal and one to the Turk! The Judge also ran one in. Patrick M threw 2 TD passes to Big Jim and Tommy B. Big Jim also threw 2 TD passes to Patrick M and Tommy B. Player of the day was the Turk who, in addition to his TD, also registered 2 sacks and 37 hurries! He's the 75 pound QB menace.

The score difference was actually much worse early on but West was making a steady comeback. If we could only have played for the rest of the day and maybe have someone turn the lights on for us I feel certain West would have had victory. Alas, so many footballers have their familial commitments that we cannot play all day... and night. Of course, I could play all day and night and its not just because I have the wind for it, which I do. I also have Mrs. T's permission. And blessing. This is the actual conversation I had with Jojo when I got home after the game:
"How did it go?" Jojo asks.
"We lost." I say. "But we were making a comeback."
"Why did you stop?"
"Oh, everyone said they had things they had to do, you know, for their families."
"Wow," she says, "If you wanted to play all day, you could. I know how hard you work all week honey. Saturday is your day. "
"Thanks Jobabe. You're the best. But the rest of the guys aren't as lucky as me."
"Well", she says, "they just need to grow a pair."

More pics from Patrick M

The A Team

I was encouraged to post a list of players that did not show up for the Ice Bowl that are now formally on the P Team. But I can't do that. I'm too nice. Instead, here is a picture of the players on the A Team.

The A Team

Not pictured are Tom C - who had to leave early as soon as he scored 3 TDs (he makes you feel so, uh, used) - and Patrick M who is taking the picture. Suffice to say there are two teams, the A Team and the P Team. If you ain't Patrick or Tom and you ain't in this picture....

When a can of whoopass is opened... Mr. T jumps out.

See you Saturday at Cunningham Park Elementary sucka!
