This was an 8th grade Middle School game in my small hometown. I would be WH working with two untrained local volunteers. Because it was my Home Town debut a few of my friends would be there to watch. After one team scores I give the ball to Cletus, my LJ, and tell him to set it up on the forty. He goes to the nearest 40 and I walk to the far 20. Both teams are lines up and ready to go. Im about to blow the ready, when I hear a loud voice yelling out of the stands YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY. Im thinking no ...no way. Again the voice from the stands, which by now I recognize as belonging to my best friend says, YOURE GOING THE WRONG WAY. Now Im thinking OMG, hes right. So I shut it down, switch the two teams, and walk the longest 80 yards of my life. Big laughs all around. But Ill tell you; Ive never made that mistake again.
