Last Saturday I was invited to the Stanford Vs Washington State Football Game. American football is the game we call gridiron.
To be honest, it was a bit boring. The game is played for 4 quarters of 15 minutes, unfortunately it took 2 hours to get to half time. This was because they would start the game, run forward, get knocked to the ground, mill around for 5 to 10 minutes and do it all again. The other annoy 'cheat' was that there were 12 men on the field and 88 substitutes ! They had 6 seperate teams for different styles of play, depending if they were on offense or defence.
The Stanford team mascot is a ... tree.
Really, it's a tree.
And they sell "Fear the Tree" T shirts ...
Molly, Chrissie and Sheera.
The players running out. See what I mean by lots of substitutes. The consensus among the girls was that there were some nice butts on the team. I was begining to suspect that they weren't here for the football. ;)
Warming up.
Facing off.
Almost caught.
Some of the cheerleaders from past years had been invited back to perform. I think she was most excited that she still fitted in her costume.
The throw.
The sneak.
The touchdown.
Thanks again to Molly for the invite.
And the result.
