Irony of Life

You know, life is funny. I have told myself that I am starting to get a little older and that my body is just not as strong as it used to be. However, I still thought the I could go out there and run around with the young kids in my platoon. I let them talk me into playing on a flag football team with them and now have a swollen ankle to show for it. It was our first game and I was feeling good. The THIRD play into the game, I jumped up for a pass and came down on an opposing players foot. The toe of my cleat caught in the ground and my ankle proceeded to twist all the way around making a cracking and popping sound the whole time. I was rushed to the ER in an ambulance where they made me sit around for 4 hours before seeing me. ( I hate Army Healthcare.) The good news is that nothing was broken. They think I only dislocated my ankle...yeah they said only.... It was the most painful thing I have ever went thru. The irony of this story is that I have been in the Army for 11 years and have been on 5 deployments and have never had so much as a scratch. Then when I am in the states playing a seemingly harmless game of flag football, I cause the worst injury of my life.... Life is funny....

Geaux Tigers!

Well, it was a sloppy win but we pulled it out. The defense is young and not playing as well as it should be. I am kinda scared that we have hired a defensive coordinator from Tennessee. The teams from Tennessee in the past few years have been crappy to say the least. I think the time change and jet lag played into the sloppy play. I am hoping that Les will take the next few weeks to get the team ready to play the powerhouses in the SEC. This could be an interesting year for us. The good thing is the offense looks pretty good and Jordan Jefferson is going to be a stud. I am looking forward to seeing how this year plays out.
