Football, Football, Football
Oklahoma won. Texas won. The Bengals lost.
It was a hard game. Honestly, the boys played MUCH better than the score (32-0) showed. They worked their tails off. It just wasn't their game to win. Probably didn't help that we had to wheel the cart out and take our QB off the field, and then call an ambulance. (He's ok- just bad bruising, nothing broken). That shocked them, then angered them, but they're too young to know how to channel that anger productively on the field. They'll learn.
Since one of our coaches didn't come to practice this week, he wasn't on the field with us- he was in the stands. I'm not entirely sure that was a good thing. He was loud and annoying, egging some of our "problem" parents on. "But he started it!" should never be said by a grown man. It just shouldn't.
Well, we THOUGHT the season would be over now. But we were wrong. The league president informed us after the game that he's arranging another game for us. Am I happy about that?
Ask me after my nap.
