Hangin' it up...

Every Fall I play in a pretty competitive football league (I know its flag but believe me if they had pads I wouldnt hesistate to join that one).  It costs about a thousand dollars to play in.  I charge my team about 75 dollars a person so I usually shoulder a majority of the cost as we only have about 9 players (I dont mind paying because I love to play ball) ... Its becoming more and more clear to me that as my team gets older they have other commitments more important to them then to show up at 9:00 am on saturdays to play downtown.  So I've decided that this year is our last... I havnt told the team yet but I think they have a feeling that this is it.

This sucks because I love to wake up early and lace them up... for an hour on saturdays I get to take my mind of the world.  All I have to think about is the next pass, the next play, and just Ballin! I love it!

Its funny because people really hold Texas football in such high regard.  In highschool I didnt think about it like this.  I just thought all those practices, the heat, the coaches screaming at you was normal.  Then I joined this league up here and its clear I have an advantage having played all those years down south.

But this is it.... 4 games to go, hopefully we'll win it all....
