Milano Rhinos vs the Reggio Emilia Hogs


The last game of the season, the Rhinos went out with a... roar? I'm not really sure what noise Rhinos make, so let's just say they went out...charging their opponents. Yeah, that sounds big, manly, tough, and football-y.

The Rhinos were projected to lose this game, but they weren't going to take that for an outcome. 41- 39 was the final score and the Rhinos deserved the win. The entire game both teams literally went score for score, until an unfortunate fumble before the half, by the Rhinos. The second half was the same as the first and because of the fumble in the first half, Reggio Emilia was able to lead by one touchdown. The Rhinos quickly drove down the field and scored to tie the game. Reggio's next drive resulted in a touch down but they failed to kick the extra point due to a bad snap. Fourth quarter was much of the same, until Reggio fumbled which allowed us to score the Rhinos final winning touchdown.

The boys were sad it was their last game but they enjoyed the win to cap off their season. The bus ride back, from what I hear, was livelier than the previous ride back from last week's loss.

I on the other hand enjoyed a nice Aperitivo with some lovely ladies because I REFUSED to go on the bus after my last experience. And it was a good judgment call as well as a good life choice; considering the boys won.
