OT - Why I love this time of year...

[hexedagain]

Sorry to be off topic here, but I have to brag on my boys.
I love this time of year due to the fact that football season is here. Not the NFL, but AYFL ( Auburndale Youth Football league ).
I am very lucky to be able to coach an 8 and 9 year old Pee Wee football team. The 20 knuckleheads that make up my team will make anyone laugh at how silly and goofy they are. Remember, they are 8 and 9, with a couple 7 year olds tossed in.
We started our Little League season today with our jamboree. We had the luck of drawing who was supposed to be the toughest team in our division. My boys went out and showed these boys WE are the toughest team. We shut them out 27-0. They ended with negative yards offensively, while we had over 250 yards on offense.
Here's a few pics of todays game:

Best block of the day, made by my quarterback

My boys and I waiting to go in.....

.....so we could do this. Great defense

Great team tackle

Me trying to bribe the ref

More great defense

Defense hustling off the field after a stop

Umm, defense not hustling off the field

Breaking away for a touchdown

Is my quarterback trying to get my bribe back?? LOL

Hot, tired, but very happy team leaving the field

Just wanted to show my boys off a little bit. Sorry to go off topic everyone.
Thanks.

Very nice Shane! Both my kids played from age 6 up to High School, so I appreciate the excitement. Congrats to you on the victory and on taking the time out of your schedule to work with the kids! Marcye
