Keys to the game
- Do not, under any circumstances, get hurt please. For real.
- Run the ball, throw the ball, doesn’t really matter because you’re going to score either way. Basically just play football.
- Tackle people. Did I mention that they just need to play football?
How afraid am I?
On a scale of 1 to 5 “Brewsters on his face” (1 being not a afraid, 5 being very afraid)?

I am one Tim Brewster being crushed by a rutger poo afraid of the Scarlet Knights.
