Tournament Summary
12 Steps to Ending the Bridesmaid Tradition

• Step 1 - We admit we were powerless over our addiction to 2nd place - that our games had become unmanageable and that drinking 3 Kegs and 120lbs of mudbugs is ok
• Step 2 - Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity- next year we will have better drugs and a massage therapist
  
• Step 3 - Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of MigJet as we understood MigJet- this means Hooters, El Jarro and trists with employees
  
• Step 4 - Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves- some of us are old, some slept in, some drank too much, some abandoned the team for the finals.
  
• Step 5 - Admitted to #19, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs- missed breakaways, missed PK, weak shots, brilliant shots hitting posts, shots from Lance missing by inches, a psychotic goal keeper.
  
• Step 6 - Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character- nah I like you fuckers the way you are
  
• Step 7 - Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings- don't think God can help us here
  
• Step 8 - Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all- this one is directed at Paul for telling a kid he has cum all over his face
  
• Step 9 - Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others- Fuck em- pain is good to inflict
  
• Step 10 - Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it- fuck this one too
  
• Step 11 - Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood God, praying only for knowledge of God's will for us and the power to carry that out- still don't think God can help us
  
• Step 12 - Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs- More beer, more mudbugs and more football

• FSFC seem relaxed so much so that there is zero talking on the pitch
• First great scoring opportunity goes to the FSFC as Paul hits a beautiful corner that finds a wide open #19 on the back post- the ball was so beautiful #19 decided that the best way to score was to nose the ball towards the goal then catch it. Apparently that is against the rules or something
• Inspired by his brilliant heading display #19 decides that the first one was too easy and a more difficult opportunity is all that is needed
• Minutes before halftime the ball is skied in the air at about the 18 keeper runs out calling for the ball- #19 levitates over the taller defender and the oncoming keeper and using the nose on the top of his head gets the ball rolling towards the empty net eventually finding its way into the goal It was a dream come true as #19 hasn't had that much hang time since dominating Double Dribble

6th annual Mudbug Massacre:
Party gets off to a disaterous start as 6 oclock hits and the first guests arrive. No kegs, no mudbugs, no wings. Migjet brings a date and boy is she impressed by the kick ass party.

7:00 and the mudbugs and beer finally arrive, but no taps or cups or ice- Hey AWhite, those might be things that would help

9:00 party is full on and the beer is flowing, the bugs are dying and FnJ is rolling.
10:00 Barnes fishes the live mudbug out of the pool and Kendall and Nate offer him $20 to eat it
10:01 Barnes rips the mudbug in half and eats it
10:05 Berryman eats a live one for free
12:00 FnJ still rolling and I will give anyone $50 that can tell me who got the first red card in Churchill history
2:00 Tirres, Paul, Barnes and FnJ are all that standing
2:05 Barnes takes a shower in the pool


120 lbs of Mudbugs
2 1/2 Kegs
Romo's cornbread
Wings
Done!
