If anything, It was totally AWESOME

Referring to the roller girls that is... Awesome!

We all came into the 'Roy' excitedly awaiting to see the Carolina Roller girls try to take on our beloved Minnesota Roller girls. I'm sure regular fans were surprised as much as I was to find that upon bout start there were no seats available on the floor level and the balcony was opened up and filling fast. Standing room only on the first floor!
These events aren't what I would call classy, but classy in another light where facets of different people come together to cheer on these girls. I love it. The tension in the room was thick as the roller girls were announced and the bout started. It was a close bout for the first period. But the middle period started to show a gap that was quickly becoming larger and larger as the points rolled in.
During the first break the girls pulled 4 kids out of the audience for a relay with the rollergirls. I am proud to say that Caleb was chosen and quickly became a crowd favorite with his dancing and dimples. :) There were even cheers for him from the crowd (besides mine of course).
The final period the Carolina rollergirls gave it all it had. Pushing for the seemingly unreachable goal to beat us. With every crash the crowd would roar. With every pass from our favorite jammers Jawbreaker, Ladykiller, and Mitzi the applause was deafening. We, Minnesotans, became enthralled with our girls. There were chants from hockey players, devout fans, along with the chants from the MN Thunder Soccer fans. The injuries were counting up as girls tried with everything to close the gap somewhat, but couldn't as the final score yielded a crazy fan filled yelling roar: Minnesota Rollergirls 237, Carolina Rollergirls 173. Carolina was defeated, but with grace as only roller girls could claim- beauty on skates.

Maybe this sport to me is somewhat of a guilty pleasure. But I love it. And in the end all I know is this, they came, they tried, but we won. Minnesota Rocks!
