I'm Betting On A Winning Season This Year

Via Tim, I'm betting that this team will qualify for the playoffs, get killed in their final regular season game but win the final victory in the Championship game

Christ runs for 232 yards in Catholic victory

With Schuhl out with turf toe, Christ carried 23 times for 232 yards and three scores as the Gloucester Catholic High School football team improved to 4-0 with a 42-7 victory over Woodstown in a Tri-County Conference Royal Division game.

"It's a good opportunity for me to start and show myself as a junior and get my name out there," said Christ. "I just wanted to come out, pursue, win and do what needed to be done."

Christ did a tremendous job running downhill and when he took a hit, he seemed to accelerate. Christ scored on runs of 24, 1 and 51 yards the last bouncing off several would-be tacklers and sprinting to the end zone.

"If they don't wrap me, I'm just going to put my legs out and keep them moving," said Christ.

I actually was at the game and snapped this photo of the epic triumph

"Christ runs for 232 yards in Catholic victory"

Headline of the year, folks.

Touchdown Jesus!

Only 232 yards? I expect better from the Son of God.

I have an old Far Side collection where Gary Larson wrote about the perils of including God in any strip, such as a quiz show strip where God was up something like 200,000-0. He couldn't give the other contestant any points, since it would imply that, at some point, God either didn't know the answer or he wasn't fast enough with the buzzer.

I remember that one Bill. Larson's book explaining all the things people complained about was great.

Jesus runs the option!

"Only 232 yards? I expect better from the Son of God."

Well he is probably still dealing with the effects of those hand and foot injuries (to say nothing of that re-occurring stabbing pain in the side).

Bill - "Yes! The answer is 'Wisconsin!'" Heheheheh. I used to own that book, I think it got lost in a move along the way.

If you tackle Christ, do you have to go to confession afterwards?
