Congrats, Mardunn, you win the Kewpie doll
. Consider this......
The Wormville Weasels are trailing by 2 with only seconds to go ,the clock running, out of timeouts and the opponent's ball on 4th down. Things looked
grim until Coach Smarts -an alum of Yale, a fine school with fine traditions - had a brainstorm :
Aware of 2-6-1, the ability to ask for a coach referee conference;3-5-5c, the ability to ask for such after your timeouts are used up; 3-6-2c, resulting in a delay of game foul; 3-4-3i, clock starts on snap after such penalty; Coach Smarts requests such a conference. Referee Wiseoldone obliges.
Coach Smarts : "I believe you have the wrong down
"
Ref Wiseoldone : "I KNOW we don't
."
Coach Smarts : "Well I guess I was wrong, so you flag me for DOG and start the clock on the snap.."
Ref Wiseoldone : "Correct, except I plan to invoking ole' 3-4-6 and ending 'er in 2 secs.
"
This was not Wiseoldone's first rodeo. The officials post game snack consisted of parsnips,radishes and parboiled weasel.
