Holiday/Mud Bowl

So I got an email a week or so ago from Matt Miller saying that we would be playing in a football game on Sunday December 2nd. It was not an invitation, as much as a declaration. Our team would be taking on an equally determined, passionate, experienced (i.e. old) team.

I read the email and quickly composed a response to the rest of the team. "This is possibly the stupidest idea I have ever heard," I wrote. "I am of course, in!"

So today at 2:30 we gathered at the high school to have this epic battle. Though a few of the fairer of us did not show due to weather...we had a nice turn out. It was fun.



Here is a group picture with the most of us at half time. And if you want to get the winner...keep reading A photographer from the Coshocton Tribune happened by...and I will have more from this game later!



And so with the rain, the cold, the weather, and the competition...there was much excitement. As is the case with any competition like this...the men quickly regain their competitive fire they had as a youth.



But knowing that fire burns deep...we worked hard to have a good time as well.



And of course it is important to note that the black shirts won. (Yes that was our team!). And if you visit the Coshocton Tribune online you will find this picture...that captures us celebrating the final touchdown...and my reception that ended the game!



Yeah...baby!
