Riders Look to Nail 'Heads Again.

Well let me begin by saying this... Coach Dock told me he intended to enter the Bye week with a record of 6-3. Now it is clear we are on that very road. Only one win away from that goal.
What a big win over the El Paso Generals!
So I read in the local paper the other day that a woman reporter was to write the article recapping the El Paso/Abilene game. I thought to myself, so what?
Before I get started here, I just want to say I am not a Feminist in any way. In fact, I dislike any extreme view points what-so-ever. But I wondered to myself why her gender was even mentioned.
I mean, granted I or very few women have put on pads and gone head-to-head with the boys on the gridiron. However, as I see it right now, it's Indoor Football for crying out loud. How many guys out there have even tried it? Thats what I thought.
When reading Ms. Daralyn's article I found it hilarious. Comparing Big guys to the Lil guys. I loved the way she poked fun at the whole situation. It was brilliant.
Here's a link...

So as I start to recap... you decide for yourself who is a big guy and who are the little fellas. (After all, these guys are all big to me...jeez I'm only 5'2)
Here goes...Abilene stormed out and took an early lead in the ball game. QB Quincy Carter (who is 6'2) hooked up with WR Juan Reese (5'10) for a 15-yard touchdown pass to make it 7-0. DB Darvin Peterson (6'0) then recorded a rouge, (a what?) extending Abilene’s lead to 8-0. So how many Abilene IFL fans knew what a rouge was? Pretty cool to tack on an extra point.In the second quarter, Abilene got right back to work. Quincy Carter ran in a one-yard touchdown run to make it 14-0. Carter hasn't used his feet much this season, but when he does he makes things happen and finds the end zone.
The Riders shut down Generals QB Tommy Jones (6'5 definitely a BIG GUY!). He went 16 of 30 with 1 interception and 5 TD's. A quieter night for the IFL's leading passer.
'Ol Mr. Carter finished with 13 for 28 and 187 yards with 4 TD's and 1 INT . As Carter got hurt in the second half, Backup David Bowie(6'2) stepped in. Folks, his name is pronounced Boowie for the record. He is at a mere perfect, 2 for 2 and a TD on his first pass of the season. I was impressed with this guy...he even uses his feet.
So bottom line we beat the Generals with our backup quarterback...without any fan harassment or taunting the players... or theft in the locker rooms.
Now, we head into another matchup with the Hammerheads. The last game of the homestand and you can bet it will be up to the hard hitting Defensive Unit and the wide selection of wide receivers to make some big plays. However we pull out the win... we will do it with class and style.

Thanks for reading!
