More NIFL fallout
Craig and Mark have started the flood of reflections from the Stingrays game. I totally forgot about the appearance of Sam Wyche at the start. It's just too bad we couldn't get him as a guest moderator for the high school tournament. Of course, my mind is still reeling from the array of one-liners and observations from the game so things are bound to fall through the cracks.

A few more things not covered so far: There was a pie-eating contest during the game, and the dance team tried to recruit one of our group to join in. We decided not to, but we probably could've been a force there. Consider that in the groups I was in over the weekend, I was often one of the smaller people. After the game, we did head to the "official" post-game headquarters -- I think it was just a coincidence. We were looking for a place that still served food late that was within walking distance of the hotel. One of the cheerleaders was dressed for a night on the town, ready to search the city for "real" fun as opposed to a bunch of guys who enjoyed indoor football ironically or not. The others had that look of "How long is it until we can go home?" Same went for the players, who seemed chummy with the dancers (guess there's no rule in the sticks about player-cheerleader relations).

Finally, given some of the sorry names and places for these teams, I think that future expansion must include a team called either the Strong Bads or Trogdor the Burninators.
