Football Fanatics

LAST POST BEFORE THE ROME AND ASSISI PILGRIMAGE!

This particular flag football season has been not only extra competitive, but also a season of perpetual inclement weather.

Our first snow hit in mid-October so the field was blanketed for about two solid weeks although some brave students did try to shovel it off.

Then almost every game included pouring hard rain, sleet, or biting cold weather. But, Americans must have their football like like a mouse must have his cheese. There was no going without.

The ladies final was neck and neck with the winning team (dressed in black shirts) only securing victory after the last play was completed and the whistle blown.

The men's final was extremely physical and competitive: the old guys (team combined of ITI and FUS faculty and staff) vs. the Brothers Household and friends.

The Brothers n' company took the final as they completed their season undefeated to the end.

After all the finals games, everyone was caked in mud and we are all still wondering if the field will ever recover.

Those of us who will be here in the spring, sure hope it does!

Pray for us in Rome and Assisi.
