Air Pressure in Game Balls?

[Coach Gerry Faust]

I am preparing every day this Spring for Football 04!
Anyway,I was on a crew for a Sub-Varsity game last year when the R asked for the game Balls before the Coin Toss.
Team B game us a ball that was very low on air and almost FLAT! They had a pump without: you got it,a needle!
The field is a hike from the school and of course A
was needless also.
We used one ball and started the game!
I learned a valuable lesson that game: carry a ball needle!
I seen air pressure guages in catalogs but I am curious as
to what you guys/girls carry for this situation.
Has anyone seen a guage that is also a pencil!
I am also looking for stories relative to flat balls.
I believe some coaches want a flat ball for different
play situations.
Thanks for any information in this area.
God Bless,
Coach "Fuzzy" Faust
