Football
In the beginning, there was football. The official said, Let the stadium lights come on, and they came on. The football players came onto the field, and they saw the light was good. Other teams started to show up and practice on the battleground, otherwise known as the "playing field." Fans shouted, and cheerleaders went on about their playful acts. Parents, brothers, sisters, and close friends all piled into the stands to see the game of the year. The official stepped out onto the green grass at Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, Texas. The time was seven o'clock p.m. on a Saturday night. He paused for a moment, looked at his stopwatch, and blew his whistle. Gigantic muscular men came from out of nowhere as the fans began to cheer, waving various flags, and clanging cow bells. The bells sounded like a wind chime in an April shower, all different sounds at different times.The players ran out to the middle of the stadium. A smell of hatred and resentment came about in the air. The crowd came unglued from their seats. The sounds of various noisemakers filled the air once again. Parents and grandparents alike came to their feet in the stands. Cars stopped on the street in front of the stadium, as they honked their horns, and cheered for
The Miners had been waiting since last year for the chance to avenge their 66-7 loss to Hawaii last year. As the quarterback called the play, I smiled with joy. The whole atmosphere felt like a firework just working its way down the wick, waiting for the Miners first offensive play. First play, up the middle of the field, Miners ran for a two-yard gain.

With a couple of exchanges of the bundle of pigskin the first quarter wound down. When UTEP was unable to convert any point on their next dive and Hawaii booted another field goal the score went to, Hawaii 24- UTEP 6, and only eleven minutes left in the game. Slowly fans began to drift out of the stadium losing hope. With a few more worthless drives neither team did much. Soon the stadium was all but empty. So it seemed useless when Hawaii put another drive together and added seven points to the board. their team of choice. As the two burly men stood in the middle of the field, many thoughts ran through their heads. They both knew someone was going to die, but defeat was out of the question. The official tossed a polished silver quarter into the air. The coin hit the green grass, sitting in the front seat, the shiny face of George Washington was clearly showing. The home team will receive the ball. Both anger-infested players shook hands and ran back to their sideline. The fans began to cheer as the players took the field again. Little did the fans know of how the players practiced all week long. With just seconds left the stadium was dead.
