Yesterday was a day of frustration whether it was on the court or on the field. Actually it was funny first, for our football game because the head official was looking for all the teams. He kept asking different people if they are on U.R.A.P.K. All of us on the team busted out laughing because the ref kept shouting it out loud. Back to the game though, you would think leading in offensive yards that a team would win? But nope, we're the OU version of the Lions. I established myself as one of the best recievers in the league now with a 100 yard game and 2 TD's. The game was fun for me because as the game got closer to the end, I had triple coverage on me, with the CB taking the outside route away, the LB taking the inside route, and the safety taking anything deep. I just had to do a Randy Moss flexing TD dance with my 2nd one because it was just a 40 yard bomb by Stan, and I just outran the CB, and jumped over the safety for it. Our defense was pretty stellar too, with Ray now among the league leaders in sacks, after having a 6 sack day. I did what I said I would do and shut down my half of the field, where the QB didn't even bother throwing my way. So with all that, said you would think we won?

However that wasn't the case, because again we shot ourselves in the head with stupid penalties and turnovers. Down 13-12 with 2 minutes to go. I run a quick slant for a 10 yard gain only to get it wiped out for an offsides penalty which moves us back. Repeat down, Stan throws another bomb to me where I got us down to their 10 yard line for a gain of 50 yards. Nope, got that wiped out too with another penalty but this time for illegal blocking. Next couple of plays incomplete pass, and 4th and what seemed like eternity for me, interception of course to end the game.

Throughout the game I kept giving my own little version of T.O. in the huddles. I kept challenging my players to be more pumped and to step it up especially when their's 3 guys covering me. I'm glad that Ray responded to my speech with his Jevon Kearse performance. So if it weren't for the stupid penalties I could of had 150 yard day with 2 possibly 3rd TD. Don't know what else I have to do, to get a W. However, gotta take the good from this game, such as Ray's pass rushing ability, the new offensive scheme, and Stan and I's new Peyton/Marvin chemistry.

I rushed off to Boulan, for the season opener for Spiked Punch. We lost the first game and as we huddled, all eyes turned to me, and Rob and Melissa let me have the keys to the team to turn it around. So we won the next game, but dropped the 3rd. I crushed Mark and Bill's ego on our team when they kept asking me why I want to drop the 6-2 offense and told them straight up that "our passing sucks." However, the Ski Niks did a good job of taking me out of the game as well. With the stupid rule of 1 female has to touch the ball, and with Rob setting, they kept serving to me the 3rd game, so my passes actually get to Rob but he would have to set to Melissa who isn't a strong hitter. That was frustrating right there because it was a smart move by them and their was no way I could take myself out of passing.

So off to a 1-2 start, Rob and I already believe it will be a long season. We both agreed we also don't like playing with Bill either because not to offend anyone but what a cock he is. Erin noticed he didn't bother shaking the other team's hand after each game. Also I feel bad for Melissa for dating such a jerk. Watching him during warm ups he kept belittling her as if he was that much superior than her in v-ball. Gosh I just wanted to play against him and shut him up.

During the game too, Melissa thought I was upset and seemed a little more pissed to play. Which I was because I don't like playing against with cheaters which this one guy did. As I kept arguing back, the ref could card me, eject me for all I care, but Melissa had to restrain me from talking back with the ref too. So it felt no better when I killed one straight down on that guy's face and did a little dance in front of him. Then roofed him and stared him down, because like the ref said, I don't like dishonest players.

I keep wondering what else do I have to do to help these teams win? Which leads me to this too, I have lost 2 bottles of my Motrin because I'm letting people take some for their pain. So since this stuff isn't cheap, my new rule is on that is get your own.
