The Miracle In the Dark
Athletic gatherings were farely common in the world of Ackel. While 90% of these athletics involved the bicep workout known as beer pong, there were actual events. One such classic was a spirited football game that took place by the field hockey field. It was a gritty, back and forth battle. As the game wore on and my team trailed, the lights illuminating our field were abruptly shut off. Just when it seemed all hope was lost, the quarterback heaved a hail mary pass for what seemed like the length of the field. I believe Rodgers wound up hauling it in, giving the team was I was on the victory. The moment has since become the stuff of legend, and was discussed briefly at chapter during that week. Sure, there were no ESPN cameras or blogs to hype up the event. But the moment will live on in people's memories (probably) and at least is now immortalized on this blog.

I was the QB of that spirited game between the 2nd floor and our hated rivals from below, Team 1st Floor. Jeff Miller vs. Matt Stanley was as big a rivalry as Magic vs. Bird.
ah yes, the 1st and 2nd floor rivalry ... a topic for another day.
