THIS.IS.WOLVERINES.FOOTBALL!!!!


No, not Michigan Wolverines, Cleveland Wolverines.

Let me explain:
My nephews (ages ranging from 5-15 years) and male cousins play for a Municipal League team called the Cleveland Wolverines. We go crazy every year around the end of the summer, when conditioning begins because it's almost time for football. I love it! It's this serious in my family: every boy child in my family that's old enough plays for this team. A few of my nieces cheer for the team, it's too cute. I get stir crazy by the end of the season because I'm around my family too much(lol), but it's worth it. We do everything short of painting our faces( my goal next year). It's against family rules to wear anything but Wolverines Orange on game day. Try it and see what happens! I dare you! We heckle the refs, never the other team, that's just tacky.

It's so bad my nephew, who's 11, doesn't sleep the night before his first game of the season. Last year he fell asleep sitting up in a chair. He is into all sports but football is his passion. I went the sporting goods store with him and my mother once, he acted a fool, dancing and singing, acting like a junkie for sporting goods. My sister called him GATOR! It was hilarious.

My friends make fun of me because I miss everything in the summer if it's on Saturday or Sunday morning, doesn't matter, count me out, can't make it sorry. I WILL NOT MISS A FOOTBALL GAME! I love the Browns, but it's nothing is like watching the kids play. I'm sure my co-workers get tired of hearing me talk about it, on Monday morning I pull out my flash drive and force them to look at my new pics from the weekend. The season is over, now it's fundraiser time! I had to miss it the tournament this year in Alambama because I didn't have enough Vacation Time due to my Vegas Vaca in October (one of my few vices-VEGAS!).
