This weekend was full of surprises, infatuation, and fun.
On Friday, I played football with the guys from basketball and a few more guys for fun. This has become a tradition of ours where we all play football after lifting, including Coach Johnson. Up until this week, the games have been pretty even, with CJ's team beating my team twice while losing to us once. However, this week our team was on our game and it was a lot of fun. We had multiple interceptions and came back from a three to one deficit. I usually play quarterback, but that day I was not playing well, so I went to my more natureal position of wide receiver. Being 6'6'' is helpful when playing wide receiver because you can go up and get some of the passes that are put up for grabs, and that is what I did. With Zach "Tim Tebow" Pense running the quarterback position, he threw up two passes to me in the end zone which I was able to go up for and come down with. With the game tied at three a piece, CJ's team had the ball on the six yard line with it being 4th down. Luckily, I was able to knock down the pass so we got the ball with a chance at winning the game. After a few plays that didn't work, Zach was able to throw the ball up to me and I caught it in the back of the endzone for the win. It was nice bringing in the winning catch, especially when CJ was trash-talking all week. I guess we showed him.
Friday night, Mac Finley, Kalyn Jorgensen, and I went to the Vera Bradley Tickled Pink event. The sole purpose of going to this event was to meet the entertainment. An Australian pop singer named Delta Goodrem was singing, and Mac and I knew she was absolutely gorgeous. When we got there, we were able to grab some food, talk to some people, and of course use the chocolate fountain, which was a pleasant surprise. Then, Delta finally showed up, and my goodness she was HOT! And her Australian accent? Even HOTTER! I couldn't contain myself. We got to hang out with her and talk to her all night. She was so friendly and genuine. Infatuation was the first word that came to mind when I tried to define my relationship with her. She signed a CD for me and said she would have gone bowling with us if she was in town longer. Do I believe this? Not necessarily, but I keep telling myself she would have. I am convinced she was diggin' me. However, I got a little upset when I found out she was engaged. She's only 23 years old, so I thought I had a chance.... I guess not. Oh well, maybe next time.
Yesterday, I went to my 4th Notre Dame game of the year. So far, every game I have attended this year has ended with an Irish victory and yesterday was no different. They played the Stanford Cardinal. I brought Derrick Bales, a friend from my travel basketball team who plays at Huntington North, and his friend Brett and Brett's brother Shay. Once again, we were able to drive up to South Bend in my uncle's RV. It was a fun trip both ways, as the guys were very funny and entertaining. Because the game was supposed to start an hour earlier than the past few home games, we left from Fort Wayne around 10am. We got to Notre Dame around noon and we were able to eat a few bratwursts and hot dogs. About a half hour before we left to go to the stadium, some guys challenged us to some touch football. Little did we know, most of these guys played college football at Stanford and three guys played for the New York Jets, New York Giants, and Seattle Seahawks respectively. We put up a fight, but they ended up beating us four to two. Then, we went to the game. We stopped by Touchdown Jesus for our pre-game luck and went into the stadium. After the fly-over, national anthem, etc., the game started. Jimmy Clausen played the game of his life, throwing for 347 yards and three touchdowns. The game itself was fun, as Derrick and I enjoyed yelling at the referees, opposing players, coaches, and sometimes fans. Although no profanities or inappropriateness (is that a word?) came from mouth, many people around us laughed at our witty comments. At halftime, Brett and Shay joined us, which made the game that much more enjoyable. Overall, the 28-21 victory was a great time.
