UPDATED x2: Football This Saturday

by katal on Sep 30, 2008 8:37 PM PDT Comment 62 comments

Some folks in the latest LL Football thread have been calling to play a game this Saturday, the fourth of October, and frankly I think that's a mighty fine idea.

We started doing LL football a year ago, and it would typically involve meeting around midday at Cal Anderson Park in Capitol Hill. All sorts of ability levels were present, and after a few hours of playing we would usually go do a thing that involved food and drink. Getting exercise, kicking it with good people, and having a fine meal in the early evening is a totally decent way of spending one's Saturday. If you live within the greater Seattle area then you really have no reason not to at least try it out. Go ahead and sign up.

PS: A few people (cough Robert) have advocated playing on Sunday. If you absolutely can't do Saturday, let us know if Sunday works instead. I like Saturday more, but maybe Sunday can still work.

EDIT: Saturday appears to be the consensus for the majority of the people interested in playing. How does 12:00 at Cal Anderson sound to everyone?

It would appear that the following people can make it tomorrow: Myself, Brett, John, Matthew, Camomilk, and possibly Bill. Anyone else?

I will be there, and I will be hungover.

So what you're saying is that if you're playing as a d-back

we should throw towards your assigned receiver all day?

I'm a Quarterback/Possession receiver. And I'm bringing my playbook and showing you guys up.

I’ve played some of my best LL Football games hungover

Sunday would work way much better for me

I never ever get to attend any events because I always have to work on saturdays. I finally stroked sundays off, and this would be a hell of a way to spend one.

Maybe we'll have to play Saturday AND Sunday?

Anyone want to cross-post on Field Gulls?

I have my daughter on Saturday...

Sunday would work better.

Any idea what the weather is gonna be like?

ps…if we do Sunday, perhaps we should watch the Hawks-Giants game first at a bar on Cap Hill then wander down to Cal Anderson to play.

There's no way I'm making it to a bar in Seattle by 10am

but I’ll definitely show up by 1ish to play.

The paper is saying showers on Saturday, and then more showers Sunday afternoon.

How can a human being sleep past 8AM on a gameday

Except sometimes that huge present under the tree

turns out to be your dead childhood dog. And then your parents run up behind you and kick you in the balls. And snag on you.

Fixed your fix

How can a human being ~~sleep past 8AM on a gameday~~ be bothered to be up before 8 on a weekend?

I cannot even get up before 8am on weekdays

and I have to be into work by 9.

by Matthew on Oct 1, 2008 3:08 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

One of those weird places called offices

I could never imagine being a baker and having to be at work by 4 am.

I'm at work by 6 and I live 40 miles away

I win

Particularly with Robert anywhere in the vicinity.

I think I can make it on Saturday

by camomilk on Oct 1, 2008 12:40 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

Hello lads

I would endeavor to make it this weekend if we can put something together. I enjoy football, beer and I still owe Johnbai an hour of Seattle parking.

Saturday I can most likely make it out.

Sunday is more doubtful.

by Matthew on Oct 1, 2008 3:11 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

I definently can't do it on Saturday and whatever I have that resembles the flu might keep me out for Sunday

But I wouldnt mind meeting up with people and watching the game anyway.

by Robert on Oct 1, 2008 3:30 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

I'm thinking Jillian's for the game?

Unless people have better suggestions.

by Matthew on Oct 1, 2008 5:52 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I'm down

Watching the game with LL people is definitely more fun than watching it at home.

Tap House?

At 10 AM?

Why not

I’ve done 9am during the Seahawks-Bears playoff game a couple years ago.

This is a great idea.

And Saturdays are good. Sundays are bad. I will have to skip out this weekend (as well as the next) because I have crazzzy work schedules… but after the next two weeks I am all about this.

Also in regards to Jillian’s.. I used to work there. I actually hated that job after a few months, but decent prices and good [greasy bar] food = not a bad place to park on Sundays.

It's sounding like most people can make it on Sunday

Myself, Tootthekazoo, John, Bill, theBishop, Brett (?), Robert if healthy, perhaps Matthew… anyone else? Gomez? We should have at least seven people, but the games seem to get exponentially better the more people we have to play.
