cherryUnless there is some rather large twist of fate and our team makes provincials.... I just timed my last football game today.
I know it's stupid, but that makes me sad. It was a heart breaker of a game. We lost by two points when the other team scored a touch down with thirteen seconds left on the clock. It's something that I've been doing for four years, and I'm graduating, and I'm done with it. There was just something about wrapping the flag up and clearing the clock.
I've already been bugged by my family for mentioning this, but... I'm going to miss this. I like football games, even though some of the coaches are asses. I like being called ma'am by people larger and older than me, which I never would have expected. I like the refs I work with. I like splitting hot chocolate with stats keepers when your breath shoots in plumes and you can hardly hold the styrofoam cup because your fingers are numb with cold.
I like knowing how my friends on the team are actually doing when they are injured, because we're on the same side of the field, instead of worrying about them through the entire game. I like getting to travel with the team to away games, even though each team has their own time keeper. I like being thanked at the end of each game, and I like having the red flag, and I just like to be involved.
