Austin, Texas is a pretty cool city, fortunately my sister and her family live here also. So what to do when in Austin? Get a game of cowboy football going!

What’s needed for cowboy football
1Well now, the first thing you need is plenty of cold beer. Beer has been known to not only replace the lectrolites you loose while performing feats of athleticism…it’s also a very good de-inhibitioner, that’s cowboy talk…I think. This will allow you to do things you normally wouldn’t (cowboy football for instance).
2Second, plenty of good food is required for cowboy football. This is a necessity, without good food you will run out of gas fast! Fortunately, my sister had prepared salmon, with all the fix’ins. One of my favorites, I might add.
3Third, you need the players, also called rugrats. The best players for cowboy football fall in the age group of 6 to 12. Why is this? Simple, players in this age group tend to NEVER run out of energy. They will also prove very difficult as they are very agile and small. My sisters son and daughter fit perfectly in this category.

4Fourth, you need a documentator, that’s right, I spelled it correctly, a documentator. This person must be fast enough to follow the action, with nimble fingers in order to snap the pictures for later usage.
5Finally, you need a cowboy to go up against the rugrats. Preferably someone who possesses the following attributes:
- great athletic skills
- is fearless in the face of danger
- wears the proper head protection, a cowboy hat
- has the proper foot gear, cowboy boots
- he’s funny
- he’s handsome
- he’s sexy
The cowboy
Fortunately for us, I was the perfect candidate for cowboy football! Well, I only possess 2 out of the 7 requirements, as I had my hat and boots on this evening, so I guess I will have to do.
The rules for cowboy football
The rules for cowboy football are pretty straight forward. With football in hand, (Nerf is the preferable material as any other kind will leave bruises), the rugrats chase the cowboy attempting to hit him with the football.
Getting hit
I gotta say, I make a pretty good target.
More cowboy football
Ya gotta be fearless to play cowboy football. I was pretty brave this day.
I dare ya!
It looks like I am managing to elude rugrat numero uno with my super athleticism. See the baffled look?
Being eluded
Here I manage to escape using my wit and great charm as I elude rugrat numero dos by attacking her with my humor.
Attacked with humor
Cowboy football isn’t for the weak at heart, as the rugrats will literally run you ragged! How many others enjoy a good game of cowboy football?

No cowboy football here yet. I’ll have to find me some rugrats first. If I just play with The Husband, it’ll turn into some sort of olympic sport and someone will most likely get hurt. (Me.)
By the way, I like your blog.
Thanks for the compliment, chocolate and whine would go good with cowboy football too! The good thing about cowboy football is that rugrats are relatively easy to find.
Fun post!
I’ve heard of the Turkey Bowl, but never the Cowboy football bowl!

Hey Pony Girl, the good thing ’bout cowboy football is that you don’t have to wait for Thanksgiving.
Sounds fun…for the rugrats! BTW, looks to me like you do have all seven attributes….keep up the posts, I really like your blog.
Raven – Thank you for the compliment.
First I thought you meant DALLAS Cowboys (America’s Team). I’ve played cowboy football all my life (oldest of 5 kids). AND mom of 2 boys.
Great memories. I’m in class.
love this blog.
gotta go
