Hi Everyone,

This has to be one of the most action packed events here at APU.  Each semester, students can be part of an intramural team, and I happened to pick flag football.  A bunch of guys in Smith made an all freshmen team called the Smith Spartans.  It is really awesome because we are able to unite as a hall and meet on a wednesday or thursday night and plays some old fashion football.  The best part is that we can become very intense and really get into the game, without having to worry about getting injuried.  We started off the season winning, but we have lost the past few games.  We have some good players but when we played the senior defending champs yesterday, I thought we would be crawling off the field.  There was a senior that looked like he could benchpress the whole team. 

Well, we stepped out onto the field and gave them everything.  I think the final score was 6-28.  So we really lost, but most of all we had fun.  We are freshmen, honestly, in a few years we will be as strong as big as them.  But by the last few minutes they we beginning to knee the ball to just end the plays, but we told them to keep on playing.  Phil, one of our quaterback shouted out, " Hey don''t stop playing! When Smith Boys lose, they lose strong!!"  It was so funny, and on that play he caught an interception.  They are great times and even though we lost, they are everlasting memories of college.   

The best part is in our huddle before and after games we have our teammate Jared shouts out, "Spartans, what is your profession?!" and we reply "Ahooh!!!" just like in the movie 300.
