Mr do-right and six man football

The names are changed to protect those who protect us -

So there I was, running late getting out of the metromess and looking to be more than half an hour late at best to the six man game at Jayton. So I unleashed the hemi and was making tracks. moving and a scooting. At one point i had just passed a group of cars and was slowing down as I didn't think I could safely pass the one in front when what did I see but a DPS cruiser headed my way over the hill. Since I was running about 85 or so at the time, I figured I was toast.

Sure enough shortly after passing him I saw in the rear view him turning around. As he caught up with the cars i had passed his lights came on ant they pulled over but he kept on a coming.

Soon he was behind me and then the red and blue lit me up. As i pulled over to the grass and angled back towards the road I resigned myself to the citation. The black and white pulled up next to me and the trooper had his window down and hollered, " what's the hurry?" I was taken aback but replied I had a sixman game I was running late for. Said I was trying to get there. His reply, " I want you to make it, but you need to slow down". Dumbfound I sat there as he said he needed to stop the car in front of me and pulled away.

I slowed down and made it the rest of the way, only 4 minutes late but with out a ticket to pay. Got to love sixman football.

I had a similar thing happen last Friday night. We had played in Rotan. On the way home, we were listening to the Rangers game. Right about the time the final pitch was thrown to seal the Rangers' defeat, red and blue lights started flashing on top of the car I was meeting. I pulled over, turned on the inside light and rolled the window down. He asked if I knew how fast I was going. I said that I looked down when his lights came on and saw it (80). I admitted that I was listening to the Rangers game and not paying attention to my speed. He asked where we were going, and I said home to Abilene after the football game in Rotan. Then he said that he'd been at the game too.

I figured I was really toast then, as the score ended up 102-57 in our favor. But the incredibly nice Deputy gave me a warning. We told him that the Rangers had lost, and he said, "Oh, GREAT!" (sarcastically) Then he said, "Next person is getting a ticket." LOL

Six-man fans get a break coming and going. All right! Thank you officers.
When you think of all the miles six-man fans drive, you have to believe they need to be cut a little slack.
But, please be careful.

One of my favorite stories to tell about our officiating crew was how we avoided a ticket because our Head Linesman, who was driving the truck, conveniently forgot that were changing at the field and drove to the game dressed in the full stripes.

Honestly, I would have expected the officer to force him to submit to a cavity search for being a zebra.

At the very least, make him pass an eye test...
