That sounds like an 8 man score. Are those schools 8 man?

No, neither Fort Dodge or Ames are 8-man. ;)

Upon further review, yes, Woodbine and Clarinda Academy are 8-man. In my previous life in Nebraska, I remember seeing somewhat similar scores for 8-man, but not quite like that.

A lot of northern WI schools are 8 man. There was a score in week 1 of 106-0.

Well that was a heck of a day today. Woke up at 2 and couldn't fall back to sleep, finally decided to go to work a little early. On the trip to had a little more speed on then should have and it got hydroplaning, that **** got a little crazy before it got all straightened out and going again, luckily nothing got dinged up or wrecked.

Got to work and all went well but it ran loooooong. Went for supper and now ready to pretty much call it a night, hopefully I will sleep better tonight.

Was reminded of an old Dana House tradition tonight when the announcer for the Texas/USC game said the USC back was "denied" the endzone. Watching a game back in the old Dana den and an announcer kept repeatedly using the term "denied" and everyone was imitating and mocking it and that led to what later become a game of Dana Denial in the den. Every time an announcer (hell, or anyone) said "denied" someone in the den got denied. Denied was usually getting tackled by one or two guys. Couches toppled over, chairs flew...it was stupid crazy fun. You had to be on your toes with head on a swivel in that den watching football. Sometimes they would toss you a football first as a warning...sometimes not :)

There has been mention of the 'mommy wars' here before. I felt like I was being judged a bit today. While waiting in line to see the insects I decided to keep Z occupied by looking at the sign. We practiced reading letters and saying Entomology.

I got a couple of strange looks. I guess it's weird to teach your kid when there's an opportunity. :eek:

You and Z were probably disturbing the other moms from their facebook, snapchat time ;). Did she like the insect thing ?

Could not get close enough. Just before our 'turn' one of the students tells the line that they don't need to be in a line.... So I put Z on my shoulders and we at least saw the spiders.

We loved seeing the owl. She loved getting her cheek painted. There was a great student that tried to walk her through making nueron with pipe cleaners. Really, it was pretty fun.

Loooooong day for the oldest and hubby. Left home at 8:15a for 11am games. Haven't had rain in 3 weeks so of course it rains today. Finally got their third game in at 8:30pm. Will be home after 11am, play again tomorrow at 8am which means up at 5a to leave by 5:45 to get there by 7am.

ETA: The one team they beat later got DQ'ed for having girls over the age limit. Lost one by 1 run and tied their last game.
