What happens when you pick it up? I tried something similar (made from aluminum C-channel with a handle in the middle) and I could never remove it without disturbing players.
It does snag on dome plsyers. So I made my own out of bass wood and made it high enough that even large players can not stick over the divider.

I use a coffee cup warmer.

A little sanding might remove that. You might also try EvapoRust.
EIther way, after you remove the rust, you'll have to put something like clear coat on it. And store in the attic rather than the basement.
It is stored in my bedroom which is in a dry part of Idaho. Spring is really our only wet period. But this has been a wet spring.
I’ll look into the EvapoRust. I have never used that (or heard of it). Thanks.

Pulled out one of my Model 500’s and was surprised to find rust on one end of the board frame. See pic.
Does anyone have a good technic for removing rust?the rest of the board is fine just this on edge,

The Baja Blast have a potent rushing attack also. BB Fullback #43 is a genuine juggernaut. Here are a couple examples I slowed down to 20%.
Nice Video. I love the way this figure runs! Taking the handoff he hits his line and the pause this causes makes it appear as though he is picking his hole, and his success in finding the hole just amplifies this perception.

I also liked and still do like to do my own FGs, XPs, and kickoffs and punts. To me that stuff is still fun.
Me too! A few years ago This FG put me in the League Championship (which I won)!

Eight year olds might not get the finesse of stick passing but perhaps you could use AEFL’s coverage templates to help the jr coach learn when a receiver is a good target and when he is not.

Kids like hands on so I would suggest either stick passing or keeping the Thrown ball but making it easier to complete, probably by putting a target larger than the figure in front of the receiver.
As a kid I loved kicking, FGs, XP, Kickoffs, but it was always so frustrating to get the ball on the tee.

They do. There was also a nice variety. Very desirable figures which is why it is hard to understand the limited production.

I know the figure; a Kick Returner I believe. I only bought one also.
I believe you are correct.
I use him as a MLB when I am trying for an inside blitz or penetrating through gaps in the OL.-

Not long ago Tudor began selling individual figures in unique poses. They were Haiti Repro size. The above picture is the one figure I got.
They sold out very fast and I only managed to get the one figure before they were all gone.I would love Tudor to bring them back! The fact that they sold out so fast seemed to indicate a successful product. I know these things aren’t as easy as we customers would like but It would be nice to have them available.

Fagetaboudit! Partlow's gone! Again!
Lol.
I used my Triangles against my brother’s Iowa Hawkeyes a couple days ago. Lou showed up again!Partlow intercepted a pass snd took it 40 yds for a TD. He later scored his 2nd TD on a 20 yd run.
unfortunately the game ended in a 14-14 tie.

Around 1978 Tudor was selling a divider to place on the line of scrimmage. The idea was to provide space between the teams.
I had thought I lost mine but I found my brother actually has had it.
I took some pictures because I don’t think many people remember those dividers.

Sounds much like a variation of the Buzzball ATTAC passing method which is basically placing at target at the end if the sticks and using a TTQB to hit the target first then proceeding to have the receiver and defenders run towards the ball.
I did not know that Buzzball came up with that approach. Did buzzball also originate stick passing?

I don't name my Little Plastic Peeps, and I'm not sure why Coach Shawn and Coach Collins wouldn't name one of their little Plastic Peeps OJ Simpson, but IF I was inclined to name a Little Plastic Peep I would use OJ Simpson's name.
In clarifying, I do believe OJ was one of the greatest Football players to ever play the game. Nor would I begrudge anyone placing OJ’s name on an EF figure.

This was used in the National High-Voltage Football League in the mid 2000's.

Yes. My idea was inspired by those QB’s with rocket arms. Bullet passes deep downfield.
using my target idea you could end up with a 40 yard red stick pass or even a 5 yard Blue stick pass.-

Thumbing thru my EF notebook I came across an old idea I had.
it is an alternate way to determine what ball placement stick you will use.
Instead of using the distance from QB to Receiver you will have to use your Triple Threat QB to throw the ball at a target.
- First place target the same distance from the QB that the receiver is.
- Use QB to throw the ball to strike the target.
- A bullseye awards a Red stick for ball placement.
- Striking the next ring awards a White Stick for ball placement.
- Missing the target means a Blue stick is used.
- Now using the determined stick, and adding the pressure distance if appropriate, run the play as per usual stick passing rules.
The target was to be made with two tubes. A large tube for the White stick outer ring snd s smaller tube inside that to be the Bullseye. Hopefully the tubes would “catch” the ball and make it easier to see the correct hit. I never decided on the size of the tubes. The distance of the QB from the target would be a big factor in what you could hit.
I never actually tried this. But it would allow for interesting results.

This was a tough decision.
my vote is for Josh Jacobs.
Mike Williams is right there but I have to take into account the costly fumble.

1973 I was 12 and visiting family in Tennessee. They had the Jets-Bills game on and I got to see O.J. break the record. That’s the O.J. I choose to remember.
Journey On!
I also remember that game. It is a wonderful football memory. Personally I just will never be able to put him on any of my teams.

Exactly otherwise it's a wasted effort you can't put those decals on that fast and sometimes they will break so the best way to do it we think, is to do one at a time sometimes two
Yes. I will stick to this technic.

Safety makes open field tackle
in The Highlight Reel – Video Gallery
Posted
Solitaire League:
Last play of the first half. The Iowa Harts are down 13-0.
Harts roll a run play?! Considering the poor passing thus far maybe it is not such a bad idea.
The Steelers are in prevent defense.
Harts TE blocks the Looper inside allowing the HB to break into the clear and head down field! But the Steelers safety fights thru the downfield block by the WR and makes a great open field tackle likely preventing a TD!
