When In Rome, Old Habits Die Hard ...

Here, in my little corner of Connecticut, we are very strongly encouraged (from the get go, during training) to keep track of the possession arrow with an extra whistle in our pocket. We've been doing this since the invention of the possession arrow. Last week, during our Cancer Awareness Week (one quarter game fee donated to American Cancer Society), we used pink whistles. Since using a pink whistle was not part of my usual pregame routine, I forgot my backup pocket whistle. It was a varsity game, I knew that the table had the arrow under control, and I knew that my partner had his backup pocket whistle, but I still felt totally naked without it. I couldn't wait for halftime to stuff that extra whistle in my pocket.
