We were in charge of water balloon volleyball for our ward activity on Friday night. We filled up a ton it took a long time and it was really heavy once we decided to bring it to the car.
The volleyball kinda tanked, but there were a few that played and we had a good time
It was a big sports week for me, I played in some non-soccer intramurals this week. We had two Volleyball games and we won both. I am not that good but it is fun to play and get to know some of the guys in my ward better.
The one I was most excited about was Thursday night. We had a football game. I am not great at this either but I wanted to look the part. I have my BYU jersey on with gloves from when I worked on the football field. Some soccer socks and cleats. It was a lot of fun.
Then I had a moment all young boys live in their backyards, when playing catch with themselves. We were not very organized, and it showed, but the next play could not have been better scripted (I will try and say it like Greg Wrubell) 2nd down and about 10 yards to go. There is an empty backfield with the QB in the shotgun. R. Cornwall is out on the far side with single coverage he nodds to the QB and he nods back. The ball is snapped and Cornwall goes deep, the QB checks his reads and sees Cornwall with his man beat deep downfield. He throws the ball and goes right past the finger tips of the defender and into Robbie's hands 10...5.... Caught for the TOUCHDOWN.....TOUCHDOWN. Maybe there was a little drama but everything was true. It was the first of the game and It was a lot of fun. We lost 12-15. But we had a really fun time. I think I might try to walk onto the BYU team, but not as a receiver. We were deep in our territory and it was fourth down. So we needed to punt. Everyone asked who could punt. I usually let other people do it but I volunteered. Then what happened next was amazing to myself included. It was not the distance as much as the spiral that it had. I got a lot of complements from both teams. I don't think I could do that again if I tried. But we had fun.

I guess it is appropriate that you got a quilt from mom with all you sports team pictures on it. You are definitely the sports guy. Hey, I thought it was a Greg Wrubell transcript of the big play. I'm surprised it didn't stun that other team so much that they just gave up. Wish we were there to cheer and shout for you.
