our final game of the day was ben's game
it ended up being a CRAZY game
i always have said i am not really a football mom
and i will NEVER be one of 'those' moms.
well ...
i have apparently turned the corner.
this coach that we played was unreal.
he was coaching his kids to do a crab defense
there are pictures below but i will describe slightly first
essentially, on defense AND offense their entire line is on their knees
now ...
they don't just start on their knees
they start on their knees, wait for the whistle to blow, and then crawl full speed
and they never get up!!
it is un-freaking real!
i have never seen anything like it!!
it made me so nervous for a number of reasons
crushed fingers, a helmet to knee, getting kicked in the face ... to name a few of the obvious
it was ridiculous
naturally ...
our parents were not happy.
our coach was not happy.
many people were yelling many things
unfortunately ...
that included me
and if i could take it back i would ;)
i went a little ghetto for a short minute
before quickly regaining SOME composure
and deciding to channel my energy through taking pictures of the ridiculousness
** as a fun side note - i actually even increased my shutter speed because i was so worked up my hands were shaking and i was afraid everything would be blurry! ;)
in the end ...
our boys quickly learned to deal with this type of game
and ROCKED it!!

and even though one of the goals
of their crabbing nonsense
was to grab ben's ankles and trip him,
ben quickly caught on
and had some great hand-offs
2 of which lead to touchdown runs by his friend aaron
our boys adapted SO well
they continued playing football the RIGHT way
kept a good attitude
