    What a disgusting name for a string.

    I'm right there with Jay -- kept pxp before, but this is my first solo attempt at tracking stats. That was the closest thing I'd seen to what I had in mind when I started looking for a sheet. Guess I'll find out tonight whether or not it's going to work for me ...

    Update: not bad. Like the divided rushing/receiving yardage boxes for running totals. Passing box is waytoodamnsmall, though, at least on the letter-size one. A little tweaking here and there when I get a chance, and I think I'll keep it.

    Two pens, team colors for me. Love those Pilot G-2s y'all got me hooked on too much to go for the Bic.

    I, too, am a G2 guy. But for high school football, it's the 4-color Bic all the way.

    How many papers are running a full box on a high school game these days. At the Orlando Sentinel, it was only a scoring summary.

    My first game for the DMN tonight needs a full box, but only a couple of paragraphs ... It's still a check.

    We're only putting them online now, but we still have to produce the full box score.

    Bic 4-color pen. :) Except I used it primarily for PBP --- red, black, blue and green covers just about every color combo out there.

    And it is great for hoops as well.

    12. It's a trick question because it would be a bye week.

    The West Texas papers still do, though I'm not sure about Lubbock.

    My new shop does full boxes.
