On a lovely, hot, Sunday afternoon, the excitement builds as the S-bus gets ready to kick off its long overdue ride. The crowds today seem above average; perhaps the lineup on this historical day is one for the ages. Anyways, it looks like the sides are gearing up so get ready for some action folks!

 

And we’re off, the players rushing towards the platform where the ball is now rolling. One young rookie stands near mid-line about 3 yards shy of the first down. His protruding neck gives him an advantage of seeing over many others, but it didn’t help on this day. What’s the deal with that cord round his helmet, the officials let that one slip. It just so happens on the next play an opponent steps on his toes during the skirmish. The stopping and going nature of this game allows these guys to throw in a punch or two towards their rivals. At this point, our rookie can’t take the heat and runs toward the sidelines where he grabs a seat.

 

…And we’re back from a break in the action, this time we go off the field to get the inside scoop on this outrageous rookie. From where I can see, it looks like one of his coaches is giving him some advice on how to hold himself together as his judgment has a been a little off today. Maybe it’s the heat, who knows.
