Over the past couple of years one circumstance or another prevented me from accepting any one of a variety of invites to experience what I now recognize as one of Chicago's treasures. This year once circumstance and then another fell into place which is how I came to accept the most recent invite and found myself among a throng of folks cheering (wildly, in some cases) the home team Chicago Force as they dismantled the Minnesota Machine . The lop-sided score did little to quell the enthusiasm of the fans. Though at some point, I think at least some in the crowd harbored some hope that the Machine would put together one successful drive. That hope was dashed as the Force had every aspect of their game; offense, defense, special teams clicking on all cylinders. It was quite simply, a spectacular display. Peeping over the schedule, chances are I will only make it to one more game. But, I have that hope circled and will do my best to steer circumstances that way, for that Saturday afternoon at the stadium proved to be a raucous good time. Go Force!

May The Force Stay With Me

ReplyDeleteYay! We have a league out here in pdx, too!
ReplyDeleteWe've got the Houston Power. I've never been but now I wanna go. About four years ago I did this boot camp exercise dealeo - get up at 5am and some trainer kicks your ass - the trainer was a player on the Power. She was a stud.
ReplyDeleteI could watch football ALL DAY LONG. We spend an atrocious amount of money renewing our season tickets each year to watch our Cornhuskers.
ReplyDeleteAnd I admit that I am one of those obnoxious fans who jump around screaming at the bad ref calls.
Me too Maria. I **love** football. Would SO love to catch one of these games.
