Football foible.



This was the scene at the high school football game this weekend - a testament to how much rain we've had over the last 3 weeks. The teams were completely covered in mud, making it impossible to watch were the ball was. Our colors were blue and gold. The guest team's colors were blue and silver. When we got there we sat in the section that was the loudest, assuming that the home crowd would have the most people. We cheered with the cheerleaders and joined in clapping for a really cool rah rah chant. We were having a great time. The crowd went wild when there was a touchdown and we got excited about that. Then I realized that the scoreboard said Guest:28, Home:0. We were sitting in the middle of the supporters for the guest team and they were really hopped-up about the score. We casually moved over to the subdued home-team crowd to root them on. They scored later so our cheering obviously helped things along.
