Don't worry Ma'am, We're university students, We know what We're doing.

The coach just silently nodded and retrieved to the dugout. I had a shot once of a goal that they didn't count, but was about 28" over the line. Of course, that would have been our goal. I hollered something like, "It was a goal and I have it on film." The ref came over after the game and asked if I really had the shot. He looked at it and apologized for not awarding the goal. I guess it happens. Kevin

We laughed and he asked for one of my cards. I'm taking the 500 with me Saturday so I wonder what will when they see it, especially with the camo on it. Gear
