You know, I honestly didn't even realize that. Very observant of you to notice. Guess I hindsight he deserves to be MVP.

Haiti Bowl 2024 is in the books. A defensive struggle between the Jets and Cardinals. The Cardinals were first to get on the board with a FG and that was the halftime score. The Jets defense shutout the Cardinals in the second half and the offense had a two play 86 yd TD drive capped off by a 57yd TD run to secure the win. 7-3.

The Cardinals are NFC Champions and will play the Jets in the 2024 Haiti Bowl. The Cardinals defeated the Packers with a 75yd TD run late in the game and held the Packers on 4th down to capture the win

The 2024 Haiti Bowl is set. Your AFC Champions the Jets defeated the Browns using big runs and a stellar defense.

Also got in the second NFC semi. Packers vs the 49ers. This one was all Packers. They dominated from the outset. Started out with a 43 yd TD run. Followed by a 94 yd drive culminating with a 16 yd rushing TD and just kept rolling to an easy win. Next up the AFC championship between the Jets and Browns & the NFC title between the Packers and Cardinals.

Second AFC semi in the books. Browns vs the Chiefs. Basically a defensive slugfest. Not really any highlights as the Browns win it 3-0.

Game 2 in the books. The NFC #1 Seed Eagles vs the Wild Card Cardinals. Eagles struck first and held the lead at half time. The Cardinals come out of halftime and rip off a 78 yd TD to tie the game. However the Eagles answer with a 68 yd TD run to go back in front. The Cardinals them cap off a 75 yd drive with a 33 yd TD run to force overtime. The Cardinals got the ball first and get a 61 yd run and get a FG to upset the Eagles.

No worries. I'll do my best to answer all of your questions. About 10 yrs ago or so, maybe longer, I decided to have my own playoffs/ Super Bowl if you will using only Haiti era teams. Hence the Haiti Bowl name. The main reason is those were the era of teams I had growing up when I got my first board. Plus, personally, the most beautiful teams Tudor ever produced. I randomly draw a team from each of the 3 AFC and NFC divisions from that era, mid/late 70s. Those are my division champs. And one Wild Card from the remainder of teams. The champs are redrawn for seeding 1-WC, 2-3. So 4 teams each conference. AFC champ plays NFC champ in the Haiti Bowl. Yes I only use double clip, non tweaked rookie bases. They are also randomly drawn and placed on the players. So you never know what your players are going to do until you turn the game on.

Kicking off my annual Haiti Bowl playoffs. First up was the AFC top seed Jets vs the Wild Card Dolphins. Back and forth game. Dolphins struck first and never trailed, until the last play. On fourth and 4 from the Dolphins 16 yd line, the Jets gambled and went for it. QB broke off a 16 yd TD run to win.

Thanks on the painting. Those were done years ago. My eyes aren't so good anymore so I don't do much painting these days. I've painted about 75-80 college teams some both home and away. Always use rookie bases randomly picked out of a bag. Nothing tweaked and no preferential bases for positions. This way you never know what you're going to get from a player or team. Makes it interesting. Also have a Rose Bowl cover Mark Kistner made for me way back when he was making them for Miggle Toys. I do plan on having a couple more made in the future though. Just have to decide what to get, decisions, decisions.

Another snowed in day, another bowl game. LSU vs. Miami. Lots of offense, fun game.

It's a Mark Kistner magnetic field cover on a board I built years ago.

Finally got a bowl game in since we were snowed in today. Ole Miss vs. Kansas State.

This is my storage system setup.

The HAITI Era page was actually a site I managed that Lynn set up for me. Multiple collectors contributed pictures of their teams in addition to mine. I may have some of the images saved to a flash drive but I don't know where. I've always wanted to make a new site but just have never found the time. There was some nice representations of all the variations of the HAITI uniforms I wish I'd have saved them. One of these days I'll hopefully run across the files.

HAITI BOWL 2024 Championship Game. Bills vs Buccaneers. Bills led 7-0 at the half. Bucs take 2nd half opening drive 75yds to tie it at 7. Bills break off a 56 yd TD run to go up 14-7 only to have the Bucs rip off a 71 yd TD run to even it up at 14 all. Bills weren't going to be denied though as on 4th & 8 at midfield they get a 50 yd game winning TD run to win this year's HAITI BOWL.

NFC Championship game. Top seeded Cowboys faced off with the 3 seed Buccaneers. Cowboys get a 67 yd TD run to open the scoring. Bucs kick a FG to make it a 7-3 game at the half. Then the fireworks start. Bucs drive 75 yds capped off by a 42 yd TD run. Cowboys answer right back with a 73 yd run and score a TD 2 plays later to go up 14-10. But, the Bucs rip off a 68 yd TD run to go back on top for good. Now on to the HAITI BOWL. Buccaneers vs the Bills.

AFC final. The Broncos vs Bills. Broncos take the opening drive foy a TD. Bills answer with a FG. Bills defense takes over and shuts down the Broncos. Meanwhile the Bills add another FG and then take the lead on TD capping off a long drive. Bills cement it late with another TD to win 20-10 and advance to the HAITI BOWL Championship game.

Game 4: Bucs vs Saints. Not much action in this defensive struggle. Scoreless at the half with both teams missing a FG. Bucs finally got on the board in the 3rd with a FG and then salted it away with a 4th QT TD to win 10-0.

The way I play solitaire there is no bias as I run the same offensive and defensive sets for both teams. No variations. They line up the same every play.

Game 3. Steelers vs Bills. Exciting back and forth game. Tied 10-10 @ halftime. Bills score on 73 yd TD in the 4th to go up 17-10. Then on 4th and 6 the Steelers rip off a 52 yd TD run. But on a potential game winning 2 pt conversion the Bills stuff the run and hold on for a 17-16 win.

Game 2. Cowboys vs Giants. Total domination by the Cowboys from the first play, 75 yd TD run up the gut. Later on a 25 yd TD by the FB and the Cowboys cruise to a shutout.

Finally getting to play some games. Started my yearly Road to the Haiti Bowl playoffs using only Haiti era teams. First game played. Top seeded Broncos playing the wild card Colts. Broncos strike first, led 7-0 at half. Colts tie it up on first drive of second half only to have the Broncos break off a 77 yd TD to give Denver a 14-7 win.

Unfortunately no. I actually ran Cross Country. These are however all of my Senior classmates, all of whom started
