Lightning Bowl

Next game is on Saturday, 1/18 @ 9 AM @ Waters Field. Then we will play the annual Dream Bowl on MLK day, Monday, 1/20 @ 9 AM @ Waters.

Saturday the numbers were waaaay down! Only 7 Mr. T fans showed to play 3 v 3 in the rain. East beat West 42 - 35. East had Rick the Pick, HH, London Collin and new T fan, Chandler. West had the Gauge, 4X and Tommy B.

Padding the stats! - that's one thing good about playing 3 v 3. Rick the Pick threw 4 TD passes to HH (4) and Chandler threw 2 TD passes to London Collin (2). The Gauge threw 5 TD passes to 4X (2) and Tommy B (3).

We played in the rain. It never stopped. At one point the sky got dark, wind picked up, rain started coming down harder and we got some thunder and lightning. It was a microburst! Of course we are a cautious bunch. We paused play and sought shelter from the storm in the safety of our vehicles..... Buwahhhhhhhhh!!!! Right!! Not!

So, a good way to recuperate after the game is to take an ice bath. It keeps the swelling down in your legs and lower back. It is definitely not the most comfortable thing to do, but there are ways to make it more tolerable. I like to fill the tub with cold water, get in, and then add the ice. But, the Gauge says that takes away the shock value. Hmm... Not so sure about that. Of course when you are sitting in an ice bath you don't need to freeze all of your body parts. The Gauge recommends using a beer huggie to keep your junk warm. Select one without a hole in the bottom. Or select one with a hole and stick your finger in there. Then you can "self-distract" and maybe not think about that cold water so much.

Only three weeks left boys. Don't get so self-distracted that you don't make them count! Play football, suckas!
