My Little League Football Team Victory
 

I'm sure no one cares, but honestly this is the most pumped and excited I've ever been during any type of game. OK, so I coach football in little league, the kids are middle school age. The game last night was a team we know we should beat, coincidentally named the Cowboys. Not to make this story exceptionally long, I'll abbreviate the first three quarters. Basically, we started the game with a three and out on defense and scoring on our first touch on offense, thinking things were going to turn into a rout.

6-0 us after a failed two-point conversion.

Ensuing kickoff the other team takes back for the touchdown. Gets the conversion 8-6.

The game goes back and forth, back and forth until they scored, game is tied at 22-22. Some of the kids I coach don't even know the rules of football and we have to put the fat kids on the front of kickoff return because they aren't allowed to run the ball. So they kick it onside to this fat kid who just STARES at the ball, they hop on it, two plays later, they score, no conversion. 28-22 them.

We run the kickoff back to the fifty, and this is the fourth quarter now. 4th and two, and get stuffed by their fat ass nose guard. One minute left in the game, and I was NOT going to let our team go out like this. They started kneeling, and I was like HELL NO. I called timeout, lined up ALL my linebackers (4 of them) both defensive ends ALL over the center and I said, "You better get me that ball." Our guys totally blew up the center on the snap and knocked him back into the QB who dropped the ball. We recovered on their 40.

40 seconds left, sweep left, stuffed. I call timeout, ran two straight pass plays that were incomplete. 4th and 10, threw the same pass to our TE, went all the way in for the touchdown. We put in a trap right before the game and there is NO DE in little league who knows what pulling is, so our guard DESTROYED their DE and we went in untouched for the conversion.

We kicked off, and the D was so fired up that they didn't gain a single yard until I pulled our LBs and safeties back into prevent and they ran out with :00 left on the clock. Just thought I'd share since it felt very similar to the Cowboys game of last year.

awesome win, malcom!

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

Thanks dude. I hate how our league FORCES us to play everyone. Like I am forced to play even the tiniest scrubs for 16 plays a game.

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

I used to play O-line in little league and I remember when we first started using pulls. I can remember coming around the tackle and just blowing up a corner or a LB on a sweep. Those plays were the best!

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

Seriously, until high school the kids have no idea what's coming. All our games get taped, if I can make that final conversion into a clip, I will. Seriously, the kid left his feet and his helmet was the first thing to hit the ground.

this is what you can do:
make all the scrubs WRs, and you make them stand in a long line. These guys play #2 or #3 WR on running plays. you just put the first guy in line into the game, and next play he's at the back of the line. rinse and repeat.

all the FB teams I ever played on did this, and nobody seemed to care.

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

Some of the scrubs are too fat. You can't be in a position to touch the ball if you're over the weight limit.

That's a BS rule. Poor unathletic fat kids get denied the opporunity to do the one thing they might be able to do somehwat well just because they are fat. Everyone needs to go back to the weight classes instead of the age classes. Fat kids can play with fat kids.

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

Do you have a 700 page playbook? Did your QB play his guts out?

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

HAHAHA! No 700 page playbook but the kids most definitely played their guts out. I ALSO do have a Counter Trey.

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

more like a 7 page play book.

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

HA. Maybe two.

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

But I totally agree, it doesn't matter if you're fat or not, it's FOOTBALL. They're not going to learn anything if they only get small kids to run. I have one kid who would be a BEAST fullback, but he can't run the ball.

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

You need me to play against those kids. I bet I could score a lot of touchdowns! Ain't no way any kid is fast enough or strong enough to bring me down. I seriously would just dominate in this league!

Haha.
When I was in 9th grade I played one last year of pop warner because I didn't think I'd be big enough to try out for JV. Ironically I had to drop like 5lbs to make the weight limit to play that year and it was hard as shit to do it. I had to run a lot and not eat the night before/day of the weigh in. I acted like it was the hardest thing in the world.
A couple of months later I joined the JV wrestling team and dropped something like 10lbs really fast without even trying. Then later on when I was on the varsity team I ended up dropping about 25lbs in about 3 weeks to make a lower weight class. I'm still the only person I know that went down weight classes between 11th and 12th grade, since most people either go up of stay the same.
I need to go on that diet/workout routine again.

That is hilarious. Shit, I'd buy your jersey if you'd sign it for me.

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

HAHAHAH. You guys crack me up.

Sometimes I put on a helmet during practice and run the ball if they aren't tackling well.

HAHA! This reminds me of the Joe Namath commercials a while back where he's thinking about "getting his old job back". So he gets these kids together to play and lights them up with passes.

Did you ever see the Namath commercial a few years back where he's in a sports store looking for a Jets jersey? The Jets really blew around that time and the clerk was giving him dirty looks for wanting the jersey and Namath was trying to tell him how great they were. Finally he goes, "we beat the Colts (it was back when they were the worst team in the league)," and the clerk just shakes his head.
Did you see it? Huh? Did you? Huh?


Sorry, back on topic, TMC you need to institute a flea-flicker into your playbook...or else!

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

I have a hook and lateral.

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

We also are working on a halfback pass. All our RBs are former QBs.

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

how can you be a former anything in little league??

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

Because all my starting RBs are in 8th grade, and since we can only have ONE QB, that's the reason.

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

Hey Malcolm, how did their coach react when he realized he lost?

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

Dude, you should have seen this guy. He was wearing a Roy Williams jersey. It looked like I just killed his dog. I would have HATED to have to come shake hands with us. We were just post-Gatorade bath and happy as hell.

That's a hilarious play-by-play.

Too bad you can't have a Fridge Perry halfback. That rule is crap. How are the fat kids supposed to lose weight if they're not allowed to run?

Can the kids run WR reverses? I'd imagine that would work very well against defenses of that age group.

Counter trey! YEAH!

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

I'd love to see video clips of this too.

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

yeah dude, i want a highlights package, pronto.

Re: My Little League Football Team Victory
 

A parent is actually going to let me borrow the video. I'll put up some clips ASAP.

LOL! Nice. That sounds like a spam message. It's OK, we can keep the entertainment in THIS thread. ;)
