MCFA Convention_Michigan v Michigan St.

[Treks1]

Folks there were some great coaches at our first Convention. All weekend long one could hear the plastic cracking, the sound of another sack or a touchdown! I myself played 7 games and had a blast. I was hoping to play Michigan Joe for another crack at my in-state rivals, The Michigan Wolverines.

A few years back at Jimbo's college tourney U of M's Mike Hart (tourney MVP) dashed my hopes with a long run in a MARATHON. At the convention his was both of our last games on Sunday and it tourned out to be a classic. Who would take home Paul Bunyon's Axe?

The Teams:

University of Michigan Wolverines - Joe Allore a/k/a Michigan Joe
(Pronounced MEEEEEEECHIGAN)

The Spartans of Michigan State - Steve Martin a/k/a Treks1

The venue:
The Miniature Football Coaches Assoiciation First Annual Convention


The Stadium: The Frozen Tundra of Frank Jacob's awesome snow field. What better place for this Big Ten match-up (in Ohio, of all places...)

The Kickoff


U of M on the move


Touchdown MEEEEEEEECHIGAN!


State lines up


Touchdown Michigan State!


U of M is strong up-front


He hits the pylon! Touchdown MEEEEEEEEECHIGAN!!!


Spartans look down-field


Touchdown Michigan State on a 3rd down run play!


The Wolverines had a great day in the air but on their third possession overthrows an open receiver and is picked off by the Spartans....


But U of M brings pressure and sacks State on two consecutive downs. Regulation ends 14 - 14.


Overtime its yardage from the 50 yrd. line, one (1) play. State misses a pass to an open receiver. If U of M gains a yard they win. Coach Joe says Mike Hart up the middle! Wow!! But State stuffs the middle and stops Hart for a negative gain!!!

What a game to close down the convention! Joe is a great painter, customizer and coach and his son made a great team. Its all about the fellowship and I had a great time.
