A Pre-Halloween Party and Lots of American Football News


Sat. & Sun., October 28-29, 2023
After getting home from Jacob's Camarillo Stingers playoff game Saturday afternoon, we had to get ready to host Laurie's annual Pre-Halloween party with family and a few friends that evening.

As always, Laurie had spent a few
days getting the house eerily ready

Jack-O-Lanterns, Spiders and Bats,
OH MY!

Skulls and Crystal Balls too!

Dia de los Muertos calavera

Laurie had definitely set the mood perfectly.

Jacob and Michael were in costume

Who the heck is Michael supposed to be?

Oh, DUH!

It was so obvious, he was Star Wars Princess Leia's stunt double.

Vanessa's sister Elizabeth is seen here as Princess Leia.

Jacob came as a Washington Husky

Not just any Husky mind you, but as their star Junior WR Rome Odunze.

Ot perhaps as their equally stellar Junior DB Jabbar Muhammad.

They both wear #1 when they are on the field.

As for Vanesa and Mary . . .

. . . they came dressed as
Morticia and Wednesday Addams

Just as scary in color as
in black and white

Mary had Wednesday Addams
down to a tee

I, a Bavarian Inn keeper, trying
to mimic Wednesday's demeanor

Wednesday enjoying my yodeling

A good time was had by all.

On to the latest football news . . .

Team Austria beat Team Finland
to win the European Championship

Team Austria thus wins the automatic bid into next Summer's IFAF World Championship Tournament to be held in Germany.

Team Italy defeated Team Sweden
in the European Championship's
Third Place Game

The Varese Skorpions U18 team is off
to a slow start this year having lost
to the Milano Rhinos on Saturday

The #5 ranked, 7-0 Washington Huskies
at the unranked, 2-5 Stanford Cardinal

After not scoring an Offensive TD
last week against unranked Arizona State,
would the Dawgs bounce back into form?

Not really, it was a win but
it was a struggle again

The now 8-0 Huskies retained their #5 ranking in today's AP Top 25 poll. 

It will be interesting to see where they are ranked when the first College Football Playoff Committee releases their first rankings of the year on Tuesday.

That is the only ranking that really matters when you get right down to it.

We'll be at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum next Saturday afternoon to see the Huskies take on #24 ranked, 7-2 USC and their defending Heisman Trophy winning QB, Caleb Williams.

The USC Trojans won a tense defensive battle vs. the California Golden Bears on Saturday, 50-49.

I didn't see their game but it sure sounded like an Italian Football League game to me. 

For the first time this season,
the Rams played as poorly as
we all thought they would at
the start of the season

The Rams are now 3-5 on the campaign while the Dallas Cowboys improved to 5-2.

Today's Silver Lining to
the Cowboys massacre

Internet mania . . .

I guess this Florida State Seminole fan
just does not like the Miami Hurricanes

How did that happen?

This happened to me once,
JUST ONCE!

Thank goodness for Ruby's Mexican Restaurant in Camarillo!

Have a good week and stay safe out there.
