Football At Its' Best

Today we had the pleasure of spending a beautiful Saturday afternoon at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy in Buzzards Bay, watching a football game between the Maritime Academy Buccaneers and the Framingham State Rams.

It has to be one the most unique settings for a college football game in the entire country. The Cape Cod Canal behind one end zone, with a steady parade of boats of all shapes and sizes. Behind the other end zone is a huge wind turbine which turned continuously in the breeze from Buzzards Bay.

In between is a perfect football field made even prettier by a beautiful, sunny Novemeber day. The caliber of football might not have been great, but the effort was. The Framingham defense made the plays late in the fourth quarter, and the Rams pulled out a 19-17 win. The end of a nice day.
