The ONLY difference was that one team had TV numbers, the other didn't. There was a fumble/scramble near the end of the game that resulted in a massive pile of bodies and when we finally peeled everyone off, we knew who had the ball, but didn't have a clue, given the conditions already mentioned, what team he played for.

I finally just said the heck with it and shouted, "69 has possession of the ball. 69....what damn team do you play for??".

Stands up, addresses home & away sides: "I play for the school that's giving me A in all subjects this term."
