Soccer in Jean Shorts (almost)

September 14, 2007 · No Comments

I’m shooting football tomorrow. I should probably be like, sleeping extra. Or doing some reading. Or getting my super homemade bat belt together for tomorrow.

But instead I’m feeling a little brain dead. And watching episodes of The Office. While eating some spectacular chocolate and vanilla swirl Jello pudding cups that miraculously appeared in my fridge. I usually prefer Snak Pack fat free chocolate pudding cups, as they tastes most like homemade, when cold, but this new stuff is pretty good. I may have to keep it. Don’t tell anyone.

Anyway… soccer photos! University of Georgia womens soccer team versus those “jean shorts wearing peninsula inhabitants.” Or, University of South Florida. The jean shorts thing was from todays R&B editorial board. Nice.

University senior Ashely Stinson cries and beats the ground after falling in and injuring her knee in the first half of Georgia’s game against South Florida September 9, 2007 in Athens, Ga. Despite team trainer Amanda Langston’s (left) assurances that the knee might not be injured as much as Stinson feared, Stinson insisted, “I know it’s not good! I know what it sounds like!” The team went on to beat South Florida 3-0.

Georgia ended up winning the game 3-0. I haven’t heard anything about Stinson, and there wasn’t diddly about it on sports comm website last I checked.

And it was soccer and it was fun, and pretty hot, and I think Hawaiian theme day? I can’t imagine playing soccer in jean shorts would be particularly comfortable. I imagine it might chafe. I bet football in jean shorts would be pretty uncomfortable too.

And I’m going to bed now and have a lovely transition between Friday and Saturday.

Oh, and I do have a lot of family in Florida, and they do all wear jean shorts. Sometimes even cut offs. It’s kinda crazy.
