A Girl Scouts: Flag Football Alumni Game

Given the recent announcement by the athletic department that Saturday's Spring "Game" will be nothing more than a glorified walk-thru with the players still in development....
Rodriguez said he hopes the spring game will be entertaining for fans.
"We don't have enough guys to have a true game -- to have a maize and a blue team -- but I think you'll be able to see some guys compete a little bit who are out there for the first time and have some fun," he said. The coaching staff will keep the play calling simple, and the few familiar names probably won't see much action because of the risk of injuries."That's why it's hard to pick two teams, because guys like (defensive end) Brandon Graham won't play a whole lot," Rodriguez said. "They'll play a few series and be out of there." freep.com

Could you imagine the fall-out if those NFL guys played and were injured during a Flag Football Game???? Ruh-oh!! Although, one can ride a motorcycle sans helmet and still succeed.......

Tirrel Burton will coach the maize squad and Jerry Hanlon will command the blue flaggers. Teams will be announced later today (broadcast on WTKA no less!) from practice late this afternoon. Once we find out who got picked last...um, I mean who is on which team...we'll weigh-in on the match-up!

Hopefully they'll have someone announcing the game on Saturday too!!!!!
I'd love to hear Bob Ueker say: "He missed the flag, He missed the flag!!!"

And this one is extra credit, since I have completely taken a powder the past few months and left Andy with the show.
I "love you man" (sticking with the beer commercial theme)

You're welcome.
