So you may think I am referring to the big game that took place today between BYU and Utah - no I am not, I do not care to mention that game at all because it was so frustrating. The big game I am referring to was our all girl flag football game Saturday morning against the Butterfield Stage ward. It was a showdown! My friends Jen and Kristen put together teams from each of their wards for a little friendly powder puff football game intended to be fun and light hearted - mmm that was out the door when they started smack talking.
We practiced 2 times, for most of us it was our first time playing football, so we had a whole lot to learn and then a whole lot to remember - you know all of that base right, sweep left, reverse, fake reverse and throw type plays! Our coaches Chad and Jason were studs! We showed up and I admit I was pretty intimidated by their uniforms, their numbers and the amount of spectators they had to cheer them on.
They probably had us beat on style - mind you I thought we looked good, but we were intent on having them beat in skills!
The rules are there aint no rules! Really there was blocking and let me tell you it got pretty physical!
This is Jens little victory dance - maybe it was after her awesome interception!
Kristen our QB has a great throwing arm. She was so nervous at the beginning because there was a little pressure on her being the quarterback but it was for no reason because she had an awesome game!
Oh yeah thats Brandy with a touchdown!
Hmm are we high fiving and celebrating again - maybe another TD or interception!
This was serious stuff - I really had to concentrate to remember what I was supposed to be doing each play and where I was supposed to be running!
Really any chance I had to sit - I was sitting, I felt pretty out of shape and realize that football gives you a bit of a workout. We all left pretty sore and tired - and in my case in need of some advil.
Our victory pose - we beat them 3 touchdowns to 1 and it felt so good! Who said winning isnt everything huh?
It was a great day and a lot of fun - there were all smiles at the end, so fun playing with and against friends. Bring on the next ward we are so ready!

That is seriously so cool that you guys put that together! How fun! I remember doing that in high school. Total blast!
PS I still can't get over how cute your blog is!
You're a waaaaaaaay better blogger than I could ever hope to be! I'll have to copy all of your pics to put on mine since my husband flaked on his photo taking job. It was so much fun and can't wait till we play again! Did I mention that I'm seriously sooooo sore?
Well, I've totally got to give my RH girls their props! You guys came to play!! It was so fun mixing it up with you on the turf. Even if we had more turnovers than the Cougars yesterday--and that's saying something!
I was especially impressed with your one-handed touchdown pass. Man, that's something you will be telling your grandkids about! Congrats on a great win. When's the rematch?? :)
I have a totally cute pic of you coming through the "tunnel" Send me your e-mail address so I can get it to you! nwyocum@gmail.com
can I be adopted into your ward...very jealous and might have to try and start one in our ward...
Hey next game Tiffy a.k.a. linebacker will be on your tail. Sound like you guys had a blast.
I am a little scared to say this since you rocked the other ward, but maybe the Chaparral ward could make a pigskin date with you sometime soon.
Was that not fun or what?? Still a little achy but ready to play some more. Maybe someone can make a little book with the plays because they are already lost in my mind. Great pictures!!
Who Rocks? REDHAWK. Victory is bliss. Let me take a moment... AHHHHH. Too bad we didn't get a sweet picture of your touchdown! It was sweet! This will definitely NOT be the end of this.
