Tonight is a very important night. While most of us are at home enjoying various prime time television shows, I, myself am sitting on the sidelines of a football field, taking in the damp, fall weather. The air is wet and cold and I find myself only in a flannel button-up. Why am I in this current state? It is playoff time for flag football teams of course. And I am the Prowling Panther's number one supporter and was obligated to come out and watch them fight for a win. It is round two of the playoffs and the Panthers barely clenched a win last week. The game about to start is going to be a challenge for the team, considering the opponents are double the size and actually know plays. Besides that, they are twice the size in numbers and the panthers are, as of now openly panicking on the field due to the unknown absence of a key member. This game marks an important one for the panthers because team captain, Mark is facing off against his brother, Casey and his team of buff and big med students. Trash talk is being volleyed back and forth between the opposing players and the tension is so thick it could be cut with a knife. The refs are explaining the rules, and I'm trying to comprehend. Apparently, flag football rules differ than regular rules of football. Looks like it's going to be a long game and a long night. It is unfortunate that I'm not in the mood to be more supportive. At least I have movie trailers to watch if I get bored. Looks like the ref just blew his whistle, and the game begins. Details will come next, see you then.
