From the Sidelines

Some memories rock . Tonight will be one such nite. I started following American football last season for the first time when Mizzou took centrestage. So , I am pretty new with the terms in football and the rules. All I have played is lawn tennis, cricket, softball , badminton, table tennis.

Tonight I went with the hope of getting to know some more people in the HMI department. When I reached , everyone was practicing . To my wonder I found an interesting and prettyl cheerleader on the sidelines. Through conversation I learnt that her name is Lana. The practiced went on. To the sideline spectator, it looked like Andrew was in total control of the proceedings . Kyle is the cool cucumber . One minute he stands there pondering over his moves. The next minute he is running like a cheetah(or tiger).

Well during practice we had some really good catches and moves, mostly by Michelle and the new girls on the block. Suddenly everyone started moving towards the field and we knew that it was time for the game to start.

Have to mention here that it was getting too cold now. I had one leather jacket on and then another one. Things started pretty smoothly. Kyle was off like a Cheetah every time he had the ball in his hand. Ackil made the defense of the day, he plucked the ball out of thin air. Excellent save!!! Kyle kept running goals and Andrew kept planning from the sidelines and Jessica made 2 wonderful throws that I think really setup the game for a win, I thought. All the girls, especially Nicole and Michelle were too good on the defense and Kyle was unstoppable on the offense.
We won 18-3 against Mad Dawgz (they looked like a good team).
