I’m seriously itching to have the football season start. Does anyone feel like the days are just dragging and the universe is torturing us before it begins? Um…I do.

With only 9 days left before the first game of the season starts, I’m not going to discuss the college team rankings or which teams I think are going to be good or bad but I simply want to discuss John Brantley’s moustache.

Wow! What a way to start Round 2 for the Orlando Magic!  With a dominating win over the Atlanta Hawks, 114-71, the Magic showed up and clearly had no mercy. I still haven’t wiped the smile off my face! 

I had the pleasure of going to the playoff game last night, and I have to say I witnessed a perfect synergy from our boys as the Amway Arena lit up again and again over dunks, hustle, rebounds, blocks, alley-oops, 3 pointers, etc. I feel like we are unstoppable!

A couple weeks ago, Colleen and I went ZIPLINING!!!  Well, if you want to get all technical, the pros call it "zipping," so I'll say Colleen and I went ZIPPING!!! We went to a place not too far from Orlando - Forever Florida. Our first set of unsecure, construction-like scaffolding stairs were 45 FT and it consisted of 3 zips. Our guides referred to this set as the “bunny slopes,” or for those of us who don’t ski – the BABY zips. I have to admit, I was pretty cocky before hand.

What started out as a basketball group on Twitter, our little endeavor has quickly turned into a social network and blog for the love of all things sports, healthy competition, and excitement. Females always get a negative wrap when participating in or discussing sports, so we, the LadyBallers, created this community - both for females AND males - who do not judge women who love to watch, talk, and participate in sports.
