Man, I love sports. Especially one that I get to play. I don't know what it is but sporting events just get my adrenaline running. All day long I was anxious in anticipation for our game. This year I think I'm even more excited than year past; we all hope to be to do very well. We gathered the most athletic people we knew from the dental school and pt school and formed our team. We have a team full of very quick, very fast, and very football savy people. I don't think I've ever played on a team with the potential we feel we have. We all agreed that we need to play in the most competitive league (Creighton's Elite League) so we could best prepare our team for the All-University tournament at the end of the season. (The all-U tournament doesn't really take in account which league played in, it just takes the top 30 teams or so and placed them in a huge tournament. The winner moves on to the regional tournament)
Anyway, I was so excited for our first game, it was crazy. Finally, 9:30 PM almost arrived. I got ready (actually I was dressed and ready about 3 hours prior to the game) and headed to the baseball fields to meet up with my teammates. To my surprise President Wilkenson was there watch us. I felt honored that he took part of his very busy schedule to come watch our silly game.
The game started and it started out as a very sloppy first half performance on our part. It was kind of frustrating. We had a couple of turnovers and allowed them to score a touchdown. I think we were all a bit shocked that our "stacked" team was loosing and we were playing so poorly. We decided to change our defensive plan for the second half and we knew that if we kept it simple on offense we'd do Ok. Our defense was very good the second half. I believe they had maybe 1 first down the whole half. Our offense was much better. We scored and tied the game very quickly at 7-7. We then moved the ball up the field several times and came so close on two other drives to putting it in the end-zone. Both times turning the ball over on downs. The end result was a tie 7-7. We weren't too happy, but concidering it was our first game we were pleased to pulled off the tie. It was sure fun though. Now, I can't wait for the up coming game in a week.
