Game Recap

I'll start with the worst and work towards the best:

1) Final score: Redlands 41, Pomona 33. To be fair, the school has much lower academic requirements and therefor had about 100 kids on the team, vs our 45. Even though we were smaller, slower, and generally less athletic, we played with enthusiasm and put up a good fight.

2) My groin is hurting worse now. As some of you may or may not know, I pulled my groin Thursday, but there was no one else to play so the coaches just said suck it up. Lots of ice and ibuprofen is preventing the worst right now but I'm not looking forward to tomorrow morning.

3) Two penalties on me while I was playing corner. 1: offsides (wierd, I know) 5 yds; 2: pass interference 15 yds.

4) But to have penalties called on me means I must have been playing, right? Correct! I played two series in the first half and every down in the second half. On top of that, I continue to participate on every special team except for field goal/PAT and I didn't make too many mistakes, except on kick off return.

5) Had a whole slew of tackles this game. At least 5 or 6. One of them was even a tackle for a loss (we were playing cover 2 and the running back got bounced outside right into my arms).

6) And the kicker ........... drum roll please ............ a picked 6! It's true. I picked off a well anticipated out route and ran it back sixty yards for 6 points. Between being winded from the sprint and almost being crushed to death by my teammates I thought for sure I was going to die. But I'm still here. For the record, that makes three games in a row that I've had a turnover. Not a bad run at all.

I'll keep you guys updated on the groin and Pomona football in the coming days.

Nick and Ryan: post more shit. I'm sure your lives aren't that boring.
