Valkyries vs. A&M, MNF & Damm! Beaver…

Austin Valkyries vs. University of Texas A&M

Sorry for the late update, this weekend was crazy! Crazy fun that is!

Saturday the Austin Valkyries played Texas A&M. What a great game…thanks ladies for getting us geared up for West Championships in just under 2 weeks!!

The day started humid as hell…like dripping sweat during plyometrics, not a good omen. Soon however, the clouds rolled in and we had a brief respite, we even had a few sprinkles here and there. The ground never stayed wet though…it just seemed to hit the ground and instantly evaporate. HOT!

We knew the Aggies were going to be SUPER fit as they always are, and we were not disappointed. They gave us a great fight, especially on defense! I watched over and over as our backs ran great lines, found holes and the holes were instantly closed up by piercing defense.

We played 40 minute halves and the heat was blistering. I myself started getting dizzy and more than once couldn’t locate my flyhalf to get the ball out. I just ate it and my dilligent forwards plowed over me. PC!! Great job ladies!

At the end of the match it was 6 or 7 tries to their 2 tries. I only made a few kicks…my kicking foot was definitely not on! Must get some practice time in before West.

After the match the crazy forwards stayed kitted up and gave the Aggies a little advice on scrumming. The pics are awesome!

Monday Night Football

What a great night for football! It was an emotional game for the Saints as it was their first night back in the Superdome. There were several commercials and ads for restoring New Orleans…and Spike Lee was awesome as a commentator. The Saints suprisingly shut down the Falcons from the very beginning. They drove them deep into their red zone and then blocked the punter (who missed 6 of 8 field goals the game before…) and scored. All within two minutes of the starting kick-off. From there the Saints were on FIRE!

Reggie Bush didn’t do to bad…a little to much dancing for my liking. Just put your head down and go little man! Also Brees did an amazing job blocking considering he is coming off such a serious shoulder injury! Vick…what happened? You are an amazing quarterback!

Great job guys!
