A tough loss for the home team tonight, as the Bandits exploded in the fourth and ran out the clock in the last two minutes. The Rebels fall to 6-3 and find themselves behind both Richmond and Rome. I have no idea how the AIFL playoffs work, but Raleigh has some catching up to do.
Overall, though, I had fun. I got a souvenir, I got a picture with a Reb Belle – thanks, Rachel! – and we all got to see a few really good catches. The refs really need to ease up on the flags, though. Penalties killed the flow of the game.
If I’m a scout for the AFL, I’m keeping an eye on Rebels wideout Lavell Bailey. He may make it out of the minors and into… the higher minors. And I’m not just saying that because he spiked a ball in my direction. Kid’s got some skills.
I may have to come back to the Big Taco for another game. In the meantime, though, I’ve got to find the men’s room…
