"Yep coach, he sure was." Then enjoy the look on the coach's now more baffled face.

I went back and looked at the film of the game several times on Sunday to see if there was anything that could have been done to avoid the situation
so it is imprinted vividly upon my brain. especially since I (being the R) had to fill out the paperwork for the T and send it in on Monday, So I just cut and past it into the post.
