Brian, Ben, Candice, and I went to the Sabercats game.  The Sabercats are the Arena football team for San Jose.  I have to say that this is much more entertaining to watch than almost any other sport I’ve gotten to watch.  It has the mechanics of football, but the gameplay is much faster.  It has the slamming people into walls like hockey.  It has amazing plays much more often.  The field is half as long and half as wide.  The teams always go for it on 4th down.  They had a harley drive out onto the field for no apparent reason.  Everything was appropriately over the top.  They handed out hats to everyone as we walked it.  There is no sidelines, the field goes right to the stands.  It was great.

The game itself was very close up to the end.  With a minute to go the Sabercats turned it over to the Pittsburg Power, who returned it for a TD.  They missed the extra point to make it a tied game.  The Sabercats got a quick TD, and then intercepted a pass from the Power to finish off the game.  This sport is incredibly offense heavy, which makes it fantastic to watch.  The final score was 68/54.
