The main thing I love about solitaire play, is every coach seems to have their own individual style. Just as I respect Coach T43 and his totally immersive style, I absolutely love your decision to go with double clip bases on random draw. Excellent posts, one and all! Journey On!

How the mighty have fallen. With a clear field in front of him, #23 of the chargers trips and falls, thus giving the game to the Lions, 24-19. Lion’s running back Williams #30 rushed for 2 touchdowns and 245 yards to drain the clock and seal the deal. Now on to the Championship with, (and you can’t make this up, people) The 49ers vs The Lions! The 49ers have a strong running attack as do the Lions. Should be a great one today! At MRC Memorial Field as well as in real Santa Clara at Levi Stadium!

Not yet, but expect them any day now! The suspense is terrible! I hope it lasts! Journey On!

Thanks for the info! Journey On!

I subscribe to Coach T43’s Stop Forward Motion tackling, so in my world, that’s a touchdown my friend! Journey ON!

Those butterscotch bases are the oddest color choice for a base I’ve seen. I would like to pick the brain of the designer on that. I didn’t even know they existed until the last year or so. Structurally, what base are they comparable to? Journey On!

So in researching who was on the field during the Immaculate Reception play, I’ve resorted to stock footage of the play as I have not been able to exact a list from any source on the web. While a lot of fun doing the research, it was a bit maddening trying to discern the numbers on film. Some are very visible. Some not so much. In any event, when my custom painted teams arrive in the next two weeks, I’ll be primed and ready to get them numbered and quick based for pictures! Journey On!

If I remember right, the NFC was the home team in last year’s Super Bowl. That means the AFC should be in home dark jerseys this year. So when the two teams are announced, I’ll be watching to see what uniforms both teams will be wearing so I can make the decision, do I get Uni-forms or order a couple of pre-painted teams. Availability will be an issue. So will cost as 2 Uni-forms teams are about 1/3 as much as pre-paints. Nevertheless, I’ll get one or the other because the older I get, the more precious each year’s Super Bowl is. One of the ways I celebrate is represent the teams on the electric football stage. This is just a very satisfying time of year to be in this hobby! Journey On!

So in the latest game in the MNF tournament, the 49ers vs the Commanders. After one half it was 17-3 49ers. In the second half, the 49ers practiced ball control with a devastating running attack but allowed the Commanders to hang around. In the 4th, with the score 23-10, the Commanders hit on an 81 yard TD to #21 to pull within 6 at 23-17. The Commanders recovered the onside kick at the 49 yard line and had one play to make it happen. It didn’t. A sack by # 56 of the 49ers sealed the deal. Final score, 49ers 23- Commanders 17. Next up, the San Diego Chargers (that’s right, as God intended them!) V the Detroit Lions. The winner to meet the 49ers for the Season II MNF Tournament crown! Journey On!

College football will all shake out eventually. The pendulum has swung so drastically in the last few years, I don’t recognize the sport either. Take that child to an Auburn girls softball game! That is the sport that still feels like a collegiate sporting event. They are so much fun and still will not break the bank to go to. And lordy, are those girls competitive! Journey On!

Cultural differences aside, (Big Al rocks!), that is a great picture! What a memory. If that was my kid, that baby would be framed and on the wall! Aren’t we blessed to live in SEC country?!? Great post! Welcome back. Journey on! Daryl C.

The Ice Bowl. Packers/Cowboys. Dandy Don Meredith was 2 plays in two games vs the Packers from being in the HoF as a quarterback supreme! He’s always gong to be my favorite Cowboy quarterback. Tough as nails, that one. Journey On!

Journey On!

So here are the combined Raven kits. I wouldn’t advise doing this if you are easily distracted, and I am. I’m about 70% happy with this, as the black and purple are so close on the color spectrum they are hard to see. Nevertheless, here it is.

Add the Return to the Super Dome game in 2006. Saints/Falcons. Blocked punt and all! Journey On!

Looks great! Journey On!

So the next custom painted teams in consideration are: 1) The Music City Miracle Bills/Titans 2) The First Monday Night Football Game Jets/Browns 3) The 1971 Longest Game on Christmas Eve Dolphins/Chiefs 4) Open for suggestions. Thank You and Journey On!

Just flat out amazing! Journey On!

I love all that stuff! Yes, The Longest Yard is my favorite as well. NDF runs a close second. Dad took me to see The Longest Yard at the theaters when I was 12. What the heck was he thinking!?!😁The Bernadette Peters scene was about more than my pre-adolescent self could handle! Journey On!

Good work on the paint job, though. (Danged Wolverines. RTR!)

How come Tudor, Miggle, et.al. never produced a game based on these movies? Also, if I could go back in time, I’d go back to the day I went in ToysRus and found the Superbowl game with the Giants and the Ravens. That was an awesome day! Journey On!

Coach Jay, I feel your frustration. The two teams I have ordered turned out perfect. Granted, I got Beenutt teams so my experience doesn’t exactly match up with yours, but as far as paint jobs, skin tone, and bases, mine were on point. I’m really not sure what to tell you as far as a resolution. I have had three minor issues and reached out directly to Tudor via e-mail, and Bryan has responded to me in all three instances well within 24hrs. and either satisfactory resolved my issue or gave me an explanation that was acceptable. I’m hoping if you try to reach out via e-mail once again, he can provide you with an acceptable solution to the problem. Good luck! Yours, Coach Collins

I definitely want those Cardinals and Vikings! I’m not sure why I’m so enamored with the St Louis Cardinals. That was one team I always wanted as a kid and never got. Jets, yes, but all white Namath Jets from SB III. Worthy entries, all. Journey On!!

Unless there’s a few intriguing teams that end up in the Super Bowl, the next two custom painted teams I’ll get will be from the greatest pro game ever played, the 1958 Giants V Colts championship game. Journey On!

The custom paint Beenutt figures are back up! Ordered the Immaculate Reception teams. The Steelers in home darks and the Oakland Raiders,(as God intended them to be!), in away whites! What a great day! Journey On!
