Leggo with beauty punt inside the BC 5....
Reilly sacked by Jeffcoat.....
Blue offense has slowed down, but that D still playing shutdown.....
Halftime.  Not sure BC had 75 yards in that half....

Reilly throws for a couple of first downs under duress.....
Alexander comes on blitz, gets into Reilly's face...ball shot puts up in the air...

Mercifully, Rourke goes back in at QB for the Lions.....

Rourke sacked by Jeffcoat....goes to bench with lower body problem....
Unmercifully, Reilly has to come back in.  Now facing 3rd and 9
Lions go for it....why not.  M Jones knocks ball away on Reilly bomb...
Augustine comes in, bursts through big hole and rolls down the sideline....
...for 55 yard gain, then Johnny takes pitch and powers for another FD.
Zac finds Lawler wide open in the back of endzone for 3rd TD pass of the nite.
37-0.  Getting pretty ugly for Lions....with no relief in sight....
Alexander and Darby take turns defending passes....
McGuire in......first pass to Woltman for first down....
After couple of incompletes.....another great punt by Leggo...
Reilly completes a couple of passes, then sacked by Sayles...
Grant takes punt..... busts through seam and has clear sailing....
...60 yards untouched for the TD!  44-0. Getting ridiculous...
Michael Reilly drags himself back onto the field....
....thanks to 2 QB roster rule and Rourke nicked.....
Mike flushed out of pocket, tackled on 1st down
Jefferson knocks down 2nd down pass.....3rd and 12
Lions try to end the Bombers 4th quarter TD allowed streak
Reilly puts up long pass.....almost caught - but not
So much for that.    Still no TD's allowed in the 4th....
A single off Leggo punt makes the final....45-0
Bombers are 10-1!!   First place clinched early!!
Hard to beat same team 3 times....unless you are the Bombers...
Hard to drink even more gin.....unless you are Do or Die

Will try to keep these going the rest of the year…..

If you ever need a sub to come in and cover one, let me know. There is no replacing the master, but I am happy to be the lame duck substitute teacher and give it the old college try for you to keep the O & S going if you are indisposed. 
 

I’ll even drink gin for the sake of continuity.

I love these odds and sods. Can I read this on my podcast and tell listeners about your weekly summary. How did this tradition originate? How has it evolved? Origin of name odds and sods? Let me know!

Certainly, feel free to read this on your podcast.   

The tradition?  
Was attending Derick Armstrong's first game with the Blue, in 2006.  Wanted to do a game report or summary or something, that was a bit different from what everyone else was doing.  
Out of nowhere, had a vision of the ole time UP tickers, on the side of office buildings - hence the usage of ellipsis, to end sentences and run on's to the next.
Evolution?
Did the thing without notes for a few years, but was getting harder to remember everything.... then tried copious notes - but this made it harder to watch/analyze the actual game.  Finally decided to take only notes for the yardages gained and field positions  - leaving me free to analyze the game and add "editorial content" later.
Name?
Was considering "This and That", but was reading a lot of English literature at the time......therefore it became "Odds and Sods" which is pretty well the same thing, anyways...
