Aliens gained 14 yards on this play. I had made a nice video of this play showing my step by step process for determining the play and set up. But it was too large so I just did it in bits with out the step by step.

3rd Qtr the Moonsharks lead 14 to 7. The aliens need this first down. The primary receiver is the slot receiver at the bottom of the screen. IMG_3076.MOV

The Moonsharks score again on a long run. IMG_3062.MOV

Even though I limit my solitaire league size I often play one off games with my non-affiliated teams. I still have teams I plan to make and this is my short list: 1. My HS team 2. SB 57 Chiefs 3: iowa blades (pro fantasy team) 4. Dayton triangles (modernized) 5. Rock Island Independents (modernized) 6. SB 3 Jets

Yes. Years ago My son, at a young age, created and painted the Aliens as a gift for me. I have thought about upping their appearance but then I always decide to keep the gift as is.

Pro football reference site lists Largent having 8 returns for a total of 68 yds.

SSEFL Aliens vs Moonsharks. After the quick Alien score the Moonsharks struggled but broke a long run down to the Alien 13 yard line. They then tried another run and lost 8 yards. The next play, Dropping into shotgun, the Moonsharks QB decides the primary receiver is covered and instead throws to a secondary receiver. It measures as a white stick but there is pressure and since he is passing to a secondary receiver it gets bumped up to a blue stick with pressure. Had I aimed the Alien safety better he would have got the interception. IMG_3045.MOV

Yes. The Moonsharks are one of the better SSEFL teams.

Yes! Very well done displays. I bet this will be one of the most popular displays they have ever had.

The Aliens have been perennial basement dwellers in the SSEFL. This year they are hoping that all those extra draft bases will payoff. First play was a run off tackle for 5 yds. Play two was a pass and here is the video. IMG_3042.MOV

I got several but converted them to fantasy pro teams.

My College Teams: 1985 Iowa Hawkeyes (One of the years I attended Iowa and a great year for Iowa football. They went 10-2 in season but, lost in Rose Bowl to UCLA) 2006 Boise State (the team that upset Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl) 2021 Army Black Knights ( I am a veteran of the US Army, 1983-1991, so I a feel connected to Army football.) 2021 Navy Midshipmen (you can’t really have Army and not have Navy as well) 1984 Boston college (Doug Flutie, my favorite QB) Harvard Crimson (1930’s) Yale Bulldogs (1930’s) Princeton Tigers (1930’s) Rutgers Scarlet Knights (1930’s) So mostly try to pick teams and years with special meaning to me.

Yes. My brother had the Coleco Pro Stars set. Actually still has it but the field has not held up.

I keep getting or making new teams. But I keep my solitaire league at 10 teams to keep it manageable. I also run our competition league. I keep planning on doing a College solitaire league as well as I now have 8 completed teams, with several others are various levels of completion. So I guess most of my current expansion has been to add college level teams. The last Pro team I bought off the NEFLG website. It was the AFL NY Titans. I finished them off with facemasks, numbers, and names. I plan to use them for another competition team.

Great pictures. You have some awesome looking teams.

I would be up for either the SCPC and maybe a mail league. I have never done a mail league yet. I suppose it would depend on the scheduling. It sounds fun though. The SCPC had an nice app, if thats the right term. It tracked everything up nicely.

He has some wild teams. Also, I loved the SCPC . Itwas fun to participate. I believe my entry was my own fantasy NFL team, the Idaho Talons.

I am adding it to mine as well. It is a common practice for me to use the defense to redirect my receivers pass routes but I don’t know if I have ever set up my own players to redirect a runner. It is a clever idea, especially when set up in such a concealed manner as your “Trap” play.

Those are cool trees. Do you have an APP that makes those. I’m getting Deja Vous, have I asked you that before?

It has been a while since I read thru the book. At the very end Greg does identify himself as the creator of the E8FL. (Bottom of Last page)

I found this wonderful little PDF booklet a while ago but have no idea where I came across it. “Classic T Formation with a Man in Motion for Electric Football” by Greg Davis New searches have failed to locate it again. I also checked the NEFGM site and did not see it. I do not want it to disappear so I am putting it up here. Hope you all find it as interesting as I did. T-FormationElectricFootball.pdf

I have never used freeze frames and have no bias one way or the other. One thought I have had is to wonder how much the frames increase the size of the figures “footprint” and thus, how much the defense is aided in making contact, AKA a tackle.

I also just use NFL procedure.

I agree it is a nice piece of EF history.
