Battling Jet Lag During an American Football Weekend


Fri.-Sun., Oct. 14-16, 2022

Jet lag pretty much wiped out my Friday after the 11 hour flight home from Paris on Thursday.

Thus, let's move straight on to Saturday's doings on the American football front.

The Washington Huskies (5-2)
beat the Arizona Wildcats (3-4)

The Dawgs needed this win badly after back-to-back losses to UCLA and Arizona State.

At 4:00 pm on Saturday, the Camarillo Stingers played their final regular season game.

LA City Ducks (6-0)
at
Camarillo Stingers (4-2)

Here come the Stingers!

Jacob #99 was a Captain
for the second time this season

Sharing germs with
the Ducks Captains

Hustling out to kickoff the game

Jacob's first and only kickoff
of the season

After you kick it,
you have to cover it

Ducks with a TD Bomb

Pursuit on the Goal Line

Ready on the Kickoff Return

Stalk Blocking

Jacob played most of the game
at the Tight End position

Hustling to get a downfield block

Jacob using his hands
well on this block

Lining up another downfield block

Mary brought tons of enthusiasm
to the Stingers game

Not to mention that million dollar smile!

Someone could get trucked here

Covering a Stingers' punt

He's telling his teammate to get away and let the ball keep rolling.

Finally he downed it
once it stopped rolling

Michael worked the Chains so
he had a chance to counsel Jacob

I'M OPEN!!!

Lining up at Nose Tackle

ALWAYS look good
in your uniform

It was a hard fought game that turned on two plays, an 84 yard Ducks TD pass and a 42 yard Pick-Six.

Final Score
LA City Ducks (7-0) - 14
Camarillo Stingers (4-3) - 0

While we watched lots of college and NFL football on TV on Saturday and Sunday, Michael took his whole family to SoFi Stadium to see the Carolina Panthers (1-4) take on our struggling Los Angeles Rams (2-3).

Tickets on the secondary market were going for about $38 in the nose bleed seats. PERFECT!

Kids just want to have fun

A EuroBall Potsdam Royal fan
was seated near them

Michael tried to make contact but the language barrier got in the way.

Jacob and Mary were
into the game at the start

As the game progressed, Mary and Vanessa got into walking throughout the stadium and window shopping in the Rams stores.

The Rams took care of business!

We should be 100% Jet Lag free by Monday.

I hope.
