Roughers Push it Beyond the Limit

The Roughers lost half their team this last weekend without the help of their fickle coach.

Both quarterbacks, a running back, and a Tight End may be out for a week or so recovering from injuries. Even the Reddog Rougher's IR-man, O'Donnel, had been benched.

"I can't believe it. . . " commented Coach Wagner after checking the Injured roster during Monday's night game ". . .I was planned to carry out the season with this roster."

After going through one team and finding just the right high scoring players, the roughers' face another challenge.

"It was hard enough trying to find free agents the first time." stated Coach Wagner. "I did have an extra Quarterback that I left off the roster last week." The coach said that the quarterback he almost chose last week was Gus Ferrote of Washington.

He also stated that he had already got on the ball to get in replacements off to the Commish to accept or deny. "The problem being," started Coach Wagner, "that at this late point in the season most of the exceptional player are taken. . . mostly by the No-shows"

The coach of the Roughers was still relieved and ecstatic at the win over Coach Robertson's Papa's. He needed this win to keep the first place slot in plain view.

"I had no doubt about my team putting the Papa's in their place (probably back to fourth)," commented Coach Wagner, "but with about as many injuries as OU has can My Team hold up against the Pack and My last shot to beat the No-shows?"

He also told this reporter that it was lucky he lost Testaverde when he did, because it seems this much argued over quarterback is down and out with the flu. The Coach just hopes that The Pack's coach, Mr. Plunkett, has enough chicken soup on hand.
