Tigers won yesterday 17-6 over the Essen Cardinals. By no means was that the final score that many people had intended or believed would be the outcome but a win is a win.
We seemed to move the ball well at times, then just not finish the drive. Other times it was a struggle for the Tigers to move the ball. One thing was for certain, nearly every time the Tiger defense faced a wall; they held which was great to see.
I don't know if a game has ever been more penalized... I haven't seen the stats, but I wouldn't be surprised if we had over 200 yards in penalties against us. We did have 8 personal fouls, which was a bit extreme. Some were obvious correct calls, but over half were a bit premature on the refs part.
I actually got my first personal foul ever in the game of football. After nearly 10 years of the game, I guess it was bound to happen. But I don't think it was for anything cheap, the ref called me for spearing when rushing with the ball. Never new protecting the ball with your body and putting your head down could actually be called. I better be careful...
Marcel had his birthday party after the game so a bunch of guys were on his apartment roof deck enjoying the beautiful night and sharing laughs.
The past few days have been filled with watching the Olympics, it's so cool to see the world's finest compete is events that aren't thought of as marque.
Tomorrow we are going to go see the new batman in town, theatre had an English showing today and will have one tomorrow. I believe Coach B went this morning so I'm sure he'll be talking about it tomorrow at practice. Chris and I are excited for that.
