I went out to Crawdaddies for lunch yesterday, and it was (as usual) delicious, but (as usual) slow. End result, I didn’t have time to post - plus I had a lot of work to do, so I couldn’t find slack time in the day to get it done.
Ultimate went well last night, we won 13-2. We had a lot more subs than them, and we ran their wheels off. Overall a very good game - for us.
After the game, Erin’s grandpa took us (Erin, her grandparents and me) out for ice cream. After we got home, I had a shower and watched an interesting football game between Toronto and BC. What made it interesting was that despite BC outplaying Toronto most of the night, Toronto’s defense held BC at the crucial times, leaving them with field goal attempts. Matt Kellet missed four field goals (including the most bizarre - only in the CFL - final play of the game) and the Lions lost the game 30-22. Don’t let the score fool you though, on the last play of the game, it was 23-22 Toronto, with BC attempting a field goal. Kellet was wide, but it looked like he was going to have kicked it out the end zone, resulting in a single, and the tie. Instead, Noel Prefontaine (Toronto’s kicker) apparently made a fantastic catch, just managing to stay in bounds, (which no camera caught apparently) then turned around and punted the ball back out to around mid-field. Matt Kellet (6′ 200 lbs) was right there, but rather than pick up the ball and get creamed by Mike O’Shea (6′3″ 245 lbs travelling at 200 mph) he let it bounce around. At that point, BC can pick up the ball, but not Toronto (except Prefontaine, who had motored his way down the field) a BC player (don’t rembmer who - Jason Clermont maybe?) picked it up, and tried to kick it back towards the end zone, but O’Shea managed to grab the ball as he dropped it towards his foot, and ran it to the end zone, with Prefontaine blocking for him. Crazy crazy play. That’s one of those quirky CFL rules that makes the game so fun to watch - NFL, the guy misses the field goal, thats the end of the game.
So anyway, I forgot to turn on my alarm when I went to bed, and consequently slept in 10 minutes this morning - I still managed to catch the bus though.
