Our team is 0-1.
But the team we played has run undefeated for 3 years straight. So, its NBD.
But its always fun when you get a big hit and knock someones helmet off. Get up. Scream. Gloat. Rinse & Repeat.

I played for 11 years. I was the leader in sacks and tackles for my varsity team junior year but the quit senior year to focus on snowboarding. Missed it until I logged in almost 100 days of shredding. Football is a dope sport

I'm pretty sure this quote was referring to "soccer" when originally written but I am going to use it to mean American Football.

""Football is a gentleman's game played by ruffians, and rugby is a ruffian's game played by gentlemen.""

it's not about getting a scholarship, getting drafted, or making Sports Center. It's a deep need in us that comes from the heart. We need to practice, play, to lift, to hustle, to sweat, to compete. We do it all for our teammates. We don't lift weights with a future Olympic wrestler; we lift with a future doctor. We don't run with a future Wimbledon champion; we run with a future CEO. It's a bigger part of us than our friends and family can understand. Sometimes we play for 200,000 fans, sometimes for 25. But we still play hard. You cheer for us because you know us. You know more than just our names. Like all of you, we are still students first. We don't sign autographs for money. But we do sign graduate school applications, MCAT exams, and student body petitions. When we miss a kick, we d...on't let down an entire state. We only let down our teammates, coaches, and fans. But the hurt in our hearts is the same. We train hard. Lift, run, and lift some more, and in the morning we go to class. Still the next day in class we are nothing more than students. It's about pride; in ourselves, in our school. It's about our love and passion for the game. And when it's all over; when we walk off that field for the last time, our hearts crumble. Those tears are real. But deep down inside, we are very proud of ourselves. We will forever be what few can claim: college athletes.


My buddy posted this in a note on FB. I know you're not a college athlete, but it's still the same feeling of walking off the field for the last time.

very true words, knowing you gave it your all on every single play yet still walking off the field for the last time is a very unexplainable feeling. i knew it was gonna be tough, but i never imagined. really got me thinking to do everything in my power to play in college.

the feeling of flying around the field with no restrictions is such a great feeling. its the one and only thing skiing could never replace

This is coming from a former football player since flag football in 3rd grade to varsity football.


My junior year of football we came off a 8 - 1 season and got upset in the playoffs and lost a whole bunch of seniors. So myself and 5 other guys (who I played football with for all those years) were the only seniors on the team, our quarterback was a sophomore who some how beat out the QB from my class.


So its our senior year we are ready to kick some ass and have a great season of football and have everyone want to come out and watch us on friday night.

Well we went 1 - 8 my senior year.

All I can say is treasure every single moment of football you have because you will miss it when that time comes (thats if you truly enjoy the sport). I honestly miss going to practice for 2 hours after class every day, it was a blast going out there with your friends getting ready for next Friday night.

Stepping on to the field on Friday night, the band playing, crowd cheering and the lights beeming down on you and your teammates its your time to be in the spot light.

I miss it. I'd give anything to play again.

finished the regular season today, 4-5
Most wins for my school since 2003.

Except losing tonight means we might get the number one team in the state, top 10 in the country, in the first round of the playoffs
^^hoping that doesn't happen

kind of an odd year for me, came into the year looking like i would start, but new coach and new system left me playing jv
