Dyane blinks and for a second there thought of Super Bowl ...

Amalie laughs!:)

Calana giggles!

Kelanna says, "Football on Pern and on this fine winter night it The Bollian FireLizards versus the Bitran Wherries"

JanMikal says, "Refereeing tonight will be weyrleader Ch'kul and his dragon Mirth"

Kelanna says, "Looks to be a tough game for the Bitrans for was everyone knows the 'Lizards are undefeated and look to stay that way"

JanMikal nods. "Right, Kelanna. The 'Lizards have really been using their *between*ing to move the ball down the field, even with the ten yard limit on teleporting the PFL (Pern Footbal League) has imposed."

JanMikal looks at Kelanna. "Of course, the firelizards have always been hampered by their continuing tendency to accidentally deflate the ball< with their talons. That calls for a five yard penalty."

Dyane says, "The Wherries have decline the penalty, second down."

Kelanna says, "Half-time will be performed by the HarperHall with a spectacular presentation of The Ballad of Moreta's Ride this year featuring real dragons"

JanMikal says, "That, coupled with the wherries's sneak play to toss shiny aluminum strips on the field to distract the 'lizards makes this look like a tough match on both sides."

Calana says, "Hey! When the Bitrans play sports do they bet against themselves?"

JanMikal says, "Naw, they just fix the games, Cale."

Calana says, "Oh. I see. =)"

Kelanna says, "Let's not forget the Bitrans have been reduced to once again releasing tunnel snakes into the field in a last ditch effort to once again get the 'Lizards to forfeit but in the end the 'Lizards just ate the snakes"

JanMikal lol.

Dyane says, "The wherries managed to recover a fumble by the 'lizards on their own twenty yard line, during the receiver's distraction by the snakes and scored a touchdown."

Kelanna says, "As you can see there in the crowd is stadium owner and team owner the Lady Holder Dyane and she does not look pleased with that turn of events"

Calana says, "Look at all those snake pieces I'll have to clean up!!!"

Dyane says, "The wherries punt the ball to the 'lizards. Sanders, a blue, manages to catch it on the forty yard line and returns it for a touchdown."

Kelanna says, "Rumors fly about how the Bollians seem to be suffering from too much Gather but as one can clearly see that is not the case at all"

Dyane says, "The 'lizards decide to pass up the extra point and try to go for the two point conversion. The ponze, Young, notices the green alone in the endzone and tosses the pass ...."

Kelanna says, "Its deep..."

Dyane says, "It arcs over the nearest wherries head ..."

Kelanna says, "In typical wherrie fashion they flutter about aimlessly"

Dyane says, "Making a stunning dive into the fray of wherries, the 'lizard comes up with the ball!"

Kelanna says, "And the crowd goes WILD"

Kelanna says, "In a personal note the green reciever recently clutched"

Calana says, "Why yes, Kelanna, and I hear the bucket her eggs are hardening in was a gift from the Hold staff. Quite a show of affection."

Dyane says, "The Bollians go wild but the Bitrans grow sour, holding tightly to their marks. The wherries call a time out."

Kelanna says, "Well the Bollians are in fine form this evening...I understand there is to be a huge gather after this game should the FireLizards win with a fresh supply of wine pought to you by Benden Hold.."If its Benden you know its a fine wine"

Drugar sits quietly on the sidelines, perched upon a huge cask of wine.

Dyane says, "The wherries return to the game, lining up in the shotgun formation. The 'lizards bide their time and blitz as the ball is snapped! A fumble!"

Calana chuckles.

Kelanna says, "I have word from the stands that the Bitrans are now betting against the Wherries"

Dyane says, "Back on the field, the ball is buried beneath the pile of bodies on the wherries' one yard line."

Drugar hrms, looking at the distant scoreboard, wondering what it reads.

Kelanna says, "The ref is digging through the pile to see whose got the ball of course it helps that he's a ponze dragon"

Dyane says, "The score is tied, 7 to 7, with 4 minutes left on the clock. Ch'kul and Mirth are trying to get through the pile of bodies. Flags are being thrown everywhere."

Dyane says, "The wherries not knowing better, go after the flags even though they were tosses after the play was over."

Kelanna tears at her hair "Who has the ball!?!?! Who Has the BALL!!!!!????

Dyane says, "There is a glimpse of the ball ... wait, no, yes! There it is. The 'lizards manage to come up with the ball again ... At the sidelines, a fight peaks out between the wherry center and the 'lizard running back.

Kelanna says, "The crowd goes bezerk roaring with emotion dragonriders are trying desperately to keep there dragons from going in and eating the Wherries center...The 'Lizard appears to be injured"

Drugar watches the fight between two offinsive players from opposite teams.

Drugar watches as his Fleet Brown gets called upon to enter the game for the injured lizard.

Dyane says, "The wherries center is learning the reason not to taunt the 'lizards on their own sidelines. The 'Lizard in question is carried off the sidelines while the wherry disappears beneath a flurry of claws."

Kelanna says, "The wherries have to call in the benchwarmer.."

Dyane says, "The Bitrans stop betting on the game and begin to bet on the fights occuring on the sidelines."

Calana says, "Is that Regna I see the wherries pulling in to action?"

Kelanna says, "The little blue is now in the care of the healers... they've applied numbweed and given him few choice bits of the Wherry center"

Dyane throws down her clipboard as she sees the Bollian watchwher join the other team, "Traitor!" she yells.

Drugar says, "the Lizards set up in single back position, the substitute running back looking pretty agile at this point. the Snap! And everything becomes a blur, wings flap, the ball is in the air... it's a lob....WHat's This!!! The running back is wide open across the middle, the ball falling towards him."

Kelanna says, "Regna appears to have no idea whats going on and walks in the wrong direction"

Dyane says, "A wherry dives for the ball and smashes right into Regna, who at this point sits down in the middle of the field."

Drugar says, "Coran flips upside down, winging over and neatly catching the ball with 3:37 left on the clock. TOUCHDOWN!!!!"

Dyane says, "The stadium goes wild! The Lady Holder is on a chair cheering! The 'lizards line up, refusing a huddle and make another attempt at a conversion."

Kelanna says, "The Wherries are battered and beaten but still try to face the Lizards...Regna appears to be eating the Wherries quarterback"

Drugar watches from behind the Lady Holders left, the LIZARDS lined up in goalline single set back...Waiting for the snap.

Dyane says, "Calling in their big guns, the smallest dragon on Pern, Melisandeth comes in to quarterback."

Kelanna says, "The HarperHall band has started playing the Bollian fight song"

Dyane says, "The crowd is at the edge of their seats, the Bitrans are placing bets on the watchwher at this point. Melisandeth has the ball ..."

Kelanna says, "Flame flame for good old SB"

Drugar watches the largest Bronze Lizard on Pern get substituted in as inside linebacker.

Dyane says, "The new wherry center is trampled into a pulp ..."

Kelanna says, "Its an ugly game folks but as we all know the Bitrans are an ugly bunch"

Drugar turns to Dyane and says over the din, "That Bronze looks hungry enough to eat that wherry center."

Dyane says, "The endzone is teeming with 'lizard and wherry, claws and wings a flurry, meanwhile Melisandeth reaches over and peaks the plane of the 'zone without moving a step."

Dyane nods to Drugar, blinking at the action.

Kelanna says, "Feathers are flying everywhere"

Dyane says, "The HarperHall band is being drowned out by the shouting!"

Drugar says, "the Lizards see the peak in the zone, the new inside linebacker makes a spirited dash for the hole up the middle, but gets trounced by the QB as the ball is thrown. Flags fly everywhere."

Kelanna says, "The Bitran Holder appears to be heading out to his runnerbeast before he has to pay up"

Dyane says, "A fight ensues anew, this time nary a wherry escapes. The 'lizards snap their wings, swooping around the field victorious!"

Kelanna says, "The crowd roars with approval and relief becuase they don't have to worry about feeding the lizards tonight"

Drugar says, "the crowd of Bollians near by the escaping Bitran, decide it's in the mans better interest if he stays a bit longer."

Kelanna says, "The Ref hand the huge trophy to Lady Holder Dyane"

Dyane says, "The LH raises the trophy to the crowd, "This is for all the little people!" as she is drenched by water!

Kelanna says, "The little people goes nuts screaming the LH's name in joy"

Dyane says, "Stay tuned for the Hearth Room Show right after these words from our sponsor."

Dyane says, "Final Score: Boll 'lizards: 14 Bitra Wherries: 7"
