The poor Frozen Jillademons (which was what my daughter
called their Footy team since it comprised of the Minnesota Freeze, Columbus
Jillaroos, and Boston Demons) had a rough go of it this weekend at Nationals.
Three games and they scored a total of one point. Yep. One point. My daughter
plays defense and she definitely got knocked around—a lot.
The Columbus Jackaroos played better. Won their three games
and made it to the finals. Then promptly forgot how to play! What the?
The Los Angeles Dragons are Division II champs this year. They
looked it, too. ***heavy sigh***
We had a break between games, so my husband hunted down a
radio station and listened to the Steelers game. Yeah, he shouldn’t have
bothered. Were the Steelers actually playing? We’re thinking not. We were kind
of glad to leave that game behind at halftime to watch the Jackaroos (until the
Jackaroos lost, that is).
On the way home, I noticed the Cincinnati Bengals were
winning (I am finding some GOOD uses for my iPhone), but the Carolina Panthers
were close to either tying it or winning it—with only six seconds left of the
game. We found a radio station. Game went into OT. Bengals had a chance to win
it with six seconds left of OT. The distance wasn’t all that long. Game ended
in a tie. Ugh!
Guess I should be glad the OSU Buckeyes didn’t play this
weekend. My Rams play tonight against their (my) rivals, the 49ers. Here’s
hoping for a nice surprise ending to a disappointing weekend.
In some GOOD sporting news… The Penguins are undefeated.
Yeah, baby! J
So… How was your weekend? Did you go out and do things? After
Friday’s constant rain, the weekend turned out fairly nice, although a bit on
the windy/chilly side. I even ended up getting a bit of sunburn on my face.

The Steelers' defense has fallen far from the Steel Curtain days, I'm afraid. I'm not a serious football fan, but I eyeball things once in a while, and it looks like they give up a lot of big plays and a lot of long drives. Sorry your daughter's team took a beating. I imagine it's tough trying to mash three teams together as one cohesive unit for a tournament like that. Better luck next time!
Jeff - It also didn't help that the ONLY experienced player on the Columbus portion of the team was my daughter (everyone else had been playing less than a year). And, of course, the first team they played against (Denver) went on to win the Women's division. Talk about tough women! Whew! :)
We went house hunting for a student rental near our daughter's university. Great weather for that, and my husband was happy to have that to do with no sports worth watching on! It wore the dog out too, which meant DH got to sleep LOL.
I did a Cub Scout campout in 28 degree weather.
Jennette - You make it sound like Isis keeps your poor hubby awake! I can't imagine your cute little puppy doing THAT! Haha! :)
Michael - It was 28 degrees up there? Yikes. But hey, any time the Scouts go out camping it's either cold or rainy or snowy. At least that's what happened whenever my son's Troup went out. :)
Sorry that your teams mostly blew chunks.
Ivy - Thanks for the smile! :)
