Powderpuff Football

This week is homecoming around here, but due to tests and trips I’m missing the majority of the festivities. One of the events I was able to get to was the Powderpuff Football came in which the girls of MTU played flag football. I live in a very male dominated hall and it took the entirety of our buliding to put together a team: The McDream Team. I don’t honestly care much about these sorts of things, but some friends were going anyway so I tagged along.

"Tangerine, Apple! Hut, hut, hike!"

Our team is the one with tye-dyed shirts. We won our first game…

Run for the Goal!

…and the second, which resulted in a spontaneous outburst of pyramid.

By this time it was cold and my friends and I had truly lost interest. The sauna seemed like a pretty nice place to go to. I took one last shot of the goalposts and then we left. I have no idea how well we did in the end….

Frisbockey is a pretty big deal at MTU. Basically it’s a mash between Ultimate Frisbey and hockey which should be obvious just from looking at the name. There’s a set number of players on the field at a time, timed periods, and nets that the disk must be hurled through. Tonight the CSLC team (AFK) played, with a good chunk of the rest of us cheering them on. Some of us got…a little bit more involved.

Andrew, Alex, & Greg (AFK)

Spray paint was the only helpful drawing thing we had nearby, so spray paint it was. Man, that stuff is tough to get off.

We Did the Backs Too

We arrived at the game and immediately set about making up remarkably silly nerdy / gaming cheers to inspire the team. I’m keeping them all on a page on RS, as well as any future chants we come up with. [Link!]

AFK at the Half

Our team got down by the half, so we had to do something desperate. Something crazy. Something…stacked!

Pyramid!

We lost in the end, but it was still a ton of fun. For our efforts, Andrew and I both received official CSLC shirts from last year (only four left not claimed!); he for organizing the painted chest, and I for coming up with most of the cheers.

And remember me maties, tomorrow be international Talk Like a Pirate Day. Yarrr!
