By Bruce Paine \| Comments (5) \| Hype It Up! \| Filed Under: Bruce Paine Archive \| Featured \| Football \| Misc.

On Sunday, July 5th, Bruce Paine will be hosting a flag football contest at Bryan Park in Bloomington, Indiana. Time for kickoff will be around 2 bells so everybody can get some prayin in. I will assume refreshments will be provided to some degree either on site or at Hot Tub's shack. Most of you will be getting phone calls to confirm or deny your attendance throughout the week.
