Doors Bowl 2010

we took ESL to the gridiron in the tiny town of Douliou, Taiwan. we had a few classroom lessons in which i taught my kids about the cultural craze that is American Football. for the final lesson we pumped them full of steroids and rage and marched 'em out on the field. i assigned a couple classes to write a sports review about what happened on the field that day, so in lieu of my story telling, here are some first person accounts of what happened on the field that day. (props to my people back home, without whom this would've been difficult to pull off. a big thanks and much love to zlatko and co. and grandpa 'Dosi!)
