I know what you mean about posting over here. I try to get here now and then to post as well. Different crowd here and a lot more diversity too. I am waiting for the season to start as well. Guess we will have to satisfy our needs with the Dakar stuff. Here's hoping Robby has a great race! Take care and keep warm in this yucky winter weather.
Christy, where have you been??? Football season ends and you disappear? Now, now, it is not that bad. Seriously, post sometime and let me know what is up with you!
It is a large school. We are AAA school and could be a quad A, but there are not enough teams to fill the division. Most schools in the state are consolodating, but in our area we could open more schools. The rest of the state doesn't even acknowledge our existance, but our area pays the bills. LOL Since we have made the playoffs for the last 10 years and have been runner up in the state 4 of those times, it is hard to get teams to play us. Therefore traveling is part of the norm. 2 years ago we had to go to almost NC to play a game! We play mostly DC area schools.
Thanks for the good wishes. I'll keep you posted.
Well lady, we stayed 9th in State so we have to travel this week. Game is 6 hours away. Yep, nothing like taking 2 days vacation to travel across the state for a 2-3 hour football game. Wish us luck! How is the grandson doing now? Are you still traveling to his games?
Ok Miss, I have not heard any more on the playoffs. Is your grandson's team still in it? Our hometown team is going to be in the playoffs. Last regular season game is Friday. We are 9th in the state. We need to win to get up to at least 8th so we can have home field advantage. Take care!!
Sounds like fun. I seem to remember having some difficulty retrieving a password, now that you mentioned it. Sounds like it'll be a great list, when it's done. I think I might try the video site, that I have on my myspace page for this site. Gotta keep it fresh.
So you need to know a couple of key phrases and how to spot them. Just make sure to use them when it is appropriate or you will look foolish. Hope this helps! False start: An offensive player illegally moves after lining up for--but prior to--the snap. Since the ball is dead, the down is not allowed to begin. Offside: A defensive or offensive player is on the wrong side of the ball when the ball is snapped. This foul occurs simultaneously with the snap. Holding: Illegally grasping or pulling an opponent other than the runner. Pass interference: Illegally contacting an opponent to prevent him from catching a forward pass.
Delay of game: Failing to begin a new play after a certain time from the end of the last one. Face mask: Grasping the face mask of another player while attempting to block or tackle him. Illegal block in the back: A blocker contacting a member of the opposing team in the back and above the waist. Clipping: A blocker contacting an opponent from behind and at or below the waist. Chop Block: Occurs when an offense player tries to cut block a defensive player that is already being blocked by another offensive player.
Well I was going to say there was something else we have in common, but you said you know nothing about football. I am at the local high school games on Friday nights too. LOVE FOOTBALL! I have followed this team since before I was in high school. Love the energy! I also follow the college teams- pro... not so much. I also get into professional hockey. Guess I just like the fast paced stuff.
Glad you are ok. Just noticed I had not seen you posting for awhile and that is not like you. Good luck to your grandson's team!
