I played for many years with the Sammamish Bengals. We were 0-3 and going to play 3-0 Mercer Island.
It was a foggy Saturday morning. If you ever run into Dave Hoffmann, ask him what his favorite Derek Johnson story is. He will start laughing hard and then tell the story about me being a defensive tackle and the Mercer Island running back running through the line multiple times and disappearing into the fog. We lost 36-0. (All six extra points were either missed or blocked).
Anyway, how it relates to this thread. We had a hard-ass coach named Bob Hyde. He used to put us through Bataan Death Marches in fall practice and gave us thick, complicated playbooks even though we were in like the fourth or fifth grade We went one three-year stretch where we won 1 game.
As we headed into that Mercer Island game, we were in warm-ups. Coach Hyde gave us a fire-and-brimstone speech about how we needed to decide if we wanted the champions or chumps. Then we went to the sideline. Me and a couple others went into the nearby woods to piss, and we hit a bee or hornets nest and we got stung.
Then we went out and lost 36-0. LOL
