Friday Night Lights
I got a report that Decatur and Burkburnett are scoreless after 1. (Although I'm in no mood to do quarterly updates).
Edit: Decatur up by 7 with 10:03 left in the 1st.
Edit: The Burkers just scored with 40 seconds left in the first half. 7-7. What a barn burner!
Edit: Ok, I'm getting tired of this updating crap. But Burk kicked a field goal at the end of the 3rd to got up 10-7. I really don't care. But something in the back of my mind makes me think that Burk might be a 2A school. I'm off to the Internets to check that out.
Edit: Ok, my source is still at the game. Decatur kicked what is called a "field goal" and has tied the game at 10-10. Dear, lord, please don't let this go to overtime.
Edit: Ok, via text message I've learned that there are two minutes left and Burk has the ball. I'm so excited that I'm balled up in a fetal position in the corner. Or I may be sitting on the couch watching Jerry Springer. Either way, I'm happy.
Edit: With less than two minutes left, Burk has the ball on the 13 and the Eagles called a timeout. I might have just wet my pants.
Edit: Burk just kicked a field goal with 1:35 left. Burk up by 3. Oh, the humanity.
Edit: Decatur returns the kickoff to the 50. They then run a play that gets them down to the "thirty" although my source didn't give me any details. Remind me to divorce her tomorrow.
Edit: My source tells me "Burk intercepted it but we [Decatur] got it back. It's crazy."
Edit: Holy cow! Decatur gets down to the 2 (spiking the ball into the ground) but chickens out and tries for the field goal. It's good. We have a tie game. Freakin' overtime awaits.
Edit: Decatur has the ball first.
Edit: Decatur misses a field goal. There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth in the Eagle stands. God is not happy with the Eagles apparently.
Edit: Sheesh, Will this game ever end? Those hookers in my kitchen are getting restless.
Edit: Game over. Burk scores a touchdown. A dark cloud falls over Decatur. The sun may not rise tomorrow. No funeral. Burk 19. Decatur 13.
