I had a great time at the National Indoor Football Championship game between the Intense Champ Louisiana Swashbucklers and UIFA Champ Sioux Falls Storm.
Storm Tidalwave had a tix for me so I got to sit with him in his excellent seats in the front row of Section R. Great fans in that section too. Thanks again Chops.
I also saw Bouncer-Texx, Chimchim (Murphy) ,and Superpicker (Lou) at the tailgate. I hadn't seen Lou since Bloomington 2 years ago, so the blonde hair threw me off a bit as I didn't recognize him at first. I got some pic's of Lou in the parking lot on a spindle-shaped table...an accident waiting to happen, but he showed his athleticism and came out alright. It was great seeing Murphy again too, hope your leg heals up soon. Great tailgate Bouncer.
I thought both teams played well considering both their circumstances and I had a great time watching them go at it. Louisiana played tough and were hurt by their starting QB going down, but their backup QB was a competent starter last year and also played well in a playoff game this year so it wasn't that much of a dropoff. Louisiana struggled with the rules differences, but they still played great and tried their hardest...a great contest.
I hung around after the game and thanked the Louisiana players I saw for coming and competing as well as they did despite the circumstances...they did play a great game.
That drive back to Omaha was pretty rough, but I made it back at 0130...ugh.
Hope to see everyone again next year, and hopefully the game won't be in Sioux Falls (lets see a different champion please...please).

I had a blast meeting new and exciting people(Sportznut. Mr Sprowls,Coach Kerwin) People I always wanted to meet(Art Clarkson) People who are just too cool(psx,BouncerTexx,various st0rm fans) I especially had a blast when jaws dropped as Leif and I casually walked up and had a barley pop with the tailgaters. And yes, Bouncer Texx can bbq. I shall return.
