Chelsea football hosted its annual preseason scrimmage. Like last year, the scrimmage also featured Grand Ledge, Monroe Jefferson and former SEC rival Pinckney.

It was a beautiful day for football. It was also a beautiful day to try out my new fisheye lens.

Whoa. That’s…uh…whoa. This could be fun.

Since it’s a scrimmage, there are coaches being all coachy all over the field.

I don’t know why Coach Fanning is smiling, but I think it’s because he sees my camera pointed at him.*

*(No I don’t.)

Jarred, one of the color-confused quarterbacks, used his foot to make sure the field had enough little rubber pellets.

Yeah, I guess he was throwing the ball, too. Whatever.

How would I rate this block? Well…

I’d give it a 10.

Here, a Bulldog ball carrier makes eye contact with a defender in an effort to humanize himself to the defender.

Unfortunately, his efforts to calm the defender’s violent human nature nature were unsuccessful.

Another Bulldog ball carrier had to fend off an insatiable autograph seeker.

Later, the Bulldog defense got to return the favor by swarming a Pinckney ball carrier.

I’m certain they got his autograph.

Do Bulldogs prowl? Because this one looks like he’s on the prowl.

Though he may be on the prowl, I think bulldogs tend to be on the jowl more than the prowl.

Hey, look! Another autograph session!

However, the Bulldogs continued to be stingy with their autographs.

Logan, satisfied with Jarred’s census of the little rubber pellets, concentrated on throwing the ball.

As the evening progressed, Alex improved his ability to avoid autograph seekers.

Meanwhile, I don’t know what noise was happening in the end zone, but one Bulldog didn’t want the other one to hear it.

Maybe Jim Tressel was giving a speech on ethics or something. If that was the case, I would’ve covered somebody’s ears, too.

I’ve heard of sleepwalking, but…sleeptackling?

Impressive.

Here’s a helpful tip: if you’re getting a little tired later in the game, just hitch a ride with somebody else.
