And so it goes- in the case of fire pull handle...well the handles been pulled and unfortunately we have some big forest fires burning and poor air quality moving our way.
This morning I was talking to my friend Smokey and he was giving me the heads up, well sure enough our region is socked in with unhealthy air quality...so all outdoor activities have been canceled by the ones who cancel stuff. Please save yourself from this nasty air. It might seem okay to be out in it, but it's not. Stay safe and we hope it clears up for Friday's Home away from Home game at Bellevue High School when our Varsity takes on Liberty. Go Knights!

After spending last Friday night in the back of the Jeep buried deep under piles of the Friday Knight Markets aftermath, oh I must say THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR KNIGHTS AT THE MARKET. Anyway, I was finally brought in and given the bubble bath that I was promised with some fancy designer wash stuff, Woolite I think it was called. Don't tell Joel, but I am pretty sure theres not a single fiber of wool on or in me. I know my pedigree is just a knotch above carnival plushy, I mean I am no Pooh Bear. Anyway I got my bath and boy does my fur look shiny and it feels so smooth. Hey I am fresh and ready to go again and looking forward to Friday's Home away from Home game. This time will be hosting our home game on Bellevue High school's turf, we know we have a battle ahead and we hope you can all come out and support our valiant Knights and I will see ya at the Knight Market!
!!!NEWS FLASH!!! Junior Varsity Knights to host Liberty at Newport on Wednesday, yes you read that right and that's what I said. So I started thinking about this and I think the only reason JV is able to be at home is because they don't think anyone will show up, I mean really the place is still kind of dug up. Yep pretty sure they don't think anyone will show up. That makes me crazy!!! Come on people it's time to rally, it's game time, let's bring it, let's get out there and scream and yell, let's show them, whoever them is, that we are more than a handful parents, we are a legion of faithful fans... I am not sure I can do much by myself begging to a few folks here, anyway please spread the word and get down to the game. Well you get the point they don't think we are going to show up! Come on families and friends and student body, we gotta make a big presence...we are Home at Home JV's hosting on our sovereign turf and I can just about promise it won't be under 65° and will be clear blue skies...so you can cheer on our boy's and soak up some ray's, and then enjoy this autumn evening with a side of Knights Football, full tilt with hits harder than platinum, as the JV Knights revel on their first very own home field game! So I gotta ask, hey Joel do ya think you could take me with you? You know let me go and hang with your posse? I see how you roll bro, let me in, let me cheer on the boy's, come on boss man we are not working until Friday at the Knight Market. Let's all go celebrate JV Football Home game at Home...After all, there's no place like home! The greatest student body, our families, and all our evening participants, from cheerleaders to our marching band, descended upon Sammamish High School Football Stadium with integrity and dignity.
Proud Knights defending our honor in the strange new land of- Home away from Home.... -Entry free, check! -Knights brand and team colors, check! -Knights Cheer, check! -Knights Drill, check! -Knights Marching Band, check! -Touchdown Club Knight Market check! And me Touchdown Teddy check! Sheesh I may be blushing just a little- I had more hugs, kisses and photos snapped, I really felt the love...I am honored to be more than just a stuffed bear full of thoughts and ideas. But I must say it's time for a wash, it's bath time, I am pretty sure I over heard my handler Joel talking about some bubbles. Thank you Boosters and The Touchdown Club for all you do. Now let's not dwell on what actually happend tonight, yes we fell hard to a team that just frankly, beat us and yes to some its a huge disappointment, but really the way I see it is the game of football is a lot more than points on the board. Tonight Knight Nation rose up bigger than a win, we grew together and our solidarity is now a force to be reckoned with. We got this Home away from Home figured out and we did it the hard way, but we have leveled up, we did our job. I know our boys will get back on task and will get the wins, there's pleanty of exciting football coming your way. Now about that bubble bath, can someone read my tag? Joel you around? Hey where did ya go?... Dude it's dark in here. Really your going to just put me away in box til next time? I thought you were drawing me a bath....ah what the heck, come on really? Hey it's cold out here... -Touchdown Teddy Well here we are a few days out, on the eve of the eve for our first of four Home away from Home games this one at Sammamish High School...I thought I would touch on a few pionts so you can make your plan on getting to the game. You see the boys are getting ready for what should be an exciting game of hard hitting football, against Lake Washington. For the guys I know they are pummped up and have been working hard and they all have their head in the game, but I also know that in the back of their minds they must be wondering who's going to show up? You see our boy's only have control of themselves and from what I see they are ready to battle it out for the win alongside their brothers.
Let me ask you...What about you? Are you ready? Will there be legions of Knights fans ready at game time? If you know of others needing rides maybe you have space in your chariot, sometimes kids are afraid to ask, maybe its best we just offer. Well I can tell ya that things have been happening behind the scenes. We are doing our best to make everyone feel at home, one cool thing is we will own the concessions (cash only) lot's of new items and also something a little different, we will have Cheer joining us out front with their own space to sell items and oh I almost forgot I will be out there to, you can snap a few pictures with me in front of the new Kights backdrop photo opportunity wall. I also hear there's loads of giveaways- so let's get rowdy and rally onward to our first Home away from Home game with a win. Lastly I personally would like to thank Sammamish High School and their athletic dept for being such nice hosts, once again we find ourselves in a hard situation but they have been great, understanding and welcoming, and well we appreciate it. Let's make some noise Newport fans!!! Let's shake some thunder from the sky! As our loyal Knights fight onward to victory!!! -Touchdown Teddy Emotions run high, the Knights fight hard, they put everything they have out there for all to see. In another back and forth battle much like the varsity game last Friday our boys also came back from a two score deficit, when they tied it up at 21. Let me tell you our guy's are tough! Tonight I saw laser like passing, hits that sent bodies flying and helmets rolling across the turf, but most of all we saw the passion, courage and some very big hearts. It was something more than just playing the game, like a musician if you don't feel the music you fall shy from convincing your audience you're great. Our boys hit some high notes tonight where they owned this game, the fans were awestruck watching how the teams courage and passion for the game marched hand in hand with great skills and physical football and for the love of the game. The brotherhood that binds our players and spills over into the stands is intoxicating. Sadly tonight we fell short 21-27, but as the Knights Football Family we have grown leaps and bounds since our spring and summer training.
Stop by and get a picture with me this Friday at our 1st Varsity Home away from Home game, where we take on Lake Washington at Sammamish High School. Go Knights!!! -Touchdown Teddy |
