---

Or are the Mud Dogs | too far behind ?

Bobby Boucher | is on defence.

- The Cougars are coming out | from their own 20 yard line. | - [ Quarterback ] Hut ! Hut !

The pitch. | lt's a reverse !

Boucher's not fooled.

Fumble ! | Robideaux's got it !

Touchdown, Mud Dogs !

[ Growling ]

- Boy, Boucher knocked | the poop out of him. | - ''poop'' ?

[ all Shouting ]

Slap hands ! | Slap hands !

Drink up, now. l want you girls to | sober up. Have faith in my Bobby.

[ Musburger ] The Mud Dogs are | faced with yet another third and long.

- Hut ! | - Grenouille back to pass.

He's gonna be stuffed again ! | and the Mud Dogs offence is | still unable to move that ball.

But the way their defence | is fired up, they still have | a shot at winning this game.

Blake, come here. Look.

Now, what if we, uh-- | [ Whispering ]

Trust me. Go, go, go, go, go. | [ Evil Laughter ]

[ Musburger ] The Cougars lead 27-7 in | the middle of the third quarter.

- and he takes a knee ? | - [ Whistle Blows ]

- Y'all gonna play or what ? | - [ Chattering ]

[ Laughing ] | How do you all like my new offence ?

[ Musburger ] | all right, it's second and 12...

- as the Cougars line up on the ball. | - Hut ! Hut !

[ Whistle Blows ]

What is Red Beaulieu doing, | refusing to play offence ?

- Dan, this is bizarre. | - [ Dan ] No, it's not, Brent.

lt's brilliant, because Red is | taking the waterboy out of the game.

By kneeling down | three times and punting,

he's gonna make the Mud Dog | offence try to beat him.

and the way they're playing | today, that's impossible.

[ Musburger ] Well, the Mud Dog's | most valuable player,

the linebacker they call ''the Waterboy,'' | is now powerless.

That means Coach Klein will have | to find another way to outfox Red.

- [ Whistle Blows ] | - [ Man ] Mud Dogs call a time-out.

- [ Cheering, lndistinct ] | - Mr Coach Klein. Mr Coach Klein !

Mr Coach Klein !

- Where are you going ? | - l was just gonna get a hot pretzel.

Mr Coach Klein, are you afraid | of Red Beaulieu ?

[ Laughing, Shouting ]

l am petrified of him.

Well, why don't you pretend | that Red Beaulieu...

is somebody that | you're-you're not afraid of.

- pretend ? | - Yes.

Visualize somebody | you're not afraid of.

- and then attack, like you told me. | - l'll try.

Well, he's right over there.

[ Chuckling ]

Little baby.

Yeah.

Hello, little baby. | [ Baby Talking ]

a poo-poo ? | Do you have a poo-poo ?

Yes.

Okay. Now.

This is what we're gonna do. | He's gonna come here--

[ Chattering, Shouting ]

Come and get | this one, Cougars.

Red, 22 ! Hike !

[ Musburger ] | Snap to Grenouille. a reverse !

No, it's a double reverse ! | Oh, what a block !

and Boudier springs free !

Trouble ! Lateral ! | Got him ! What a play !

Grenouille to the 15 ! | To the 10 ! To the 5 !

- Touchdown, Mud Dogs ! | - [ Fouts ] Well, well, well.

l guess Coach Klein does have | a few tricks up his sleeve after all.

What the hell-- | What the hell is this ? Huh ?

We go from a championship | football team to a bunch of dogs !

Right now, we're going to go down to | the sidelines and our man, Lynn Swann.

Swannie, what do | you have for us ?

l'm with Vicki Vallencourt, | who's taking over...

Bobby Boucher's water duties | for this important game.

Oh, l'm not takin' over. | l'm just tryin' not to screw up too bad.

Well, let me ask you this. | What's your prediction for | the rest of this ball game ?

Mud Dogs are gonna win, | 30 to 27.

That's very interesting. | How'd you come up with that guess ?

Guess ? That ain't no guess ! | That's what it's gonna be.

- Okay. That's fine. | - Oh ! Be careful down there, Swannie.

all right. | Meaney. Where's Meaney ?

- Meaney ? | - Here, Coach.

- Get in there and let's see if | that waterboy can stop you. | - Yes, sir !

Red is sending his best defender in | as a running back ?

What do you make of this, Dan ?

Well, Brent, he's gotta find | some way to neutralize the waterboy.

He probably thinks that Meaney | will just pound it in there like | Fridge used to do for the Bears.

Hey, Waterboy ! ls your girlfriend | gonna save you again ?

Oh, no, sir. l'm gonna take matters | into my own hands.

- You'll see. | - Bring it to the hole ! | Your ass is mine ! Whoo !

Whoo ! Whoo !

You sound like a... | a big choo-choo train.

Whoo ! | [ Groans ]

power bomb, compliments | of Captain lnsano.

Let's go fight | with your might

all right, field goal. | Field goal. Go.

- Derek. Derek ! | - Yeah.

Visualize the attack. | Go kick the ball. Kick it.

- Hut ! | - [ all Grunting ]

How you doin', boy ? | [ Laughing ]

No, no, no ! | [ Screaming ]

[ Cheering, Shouting ]

[ Whimpering ]

[ players Shouting, | lndistinct ]

What the hell is that ?

Where the hell is-- What the hell | is he up to ? That ain't in here ! Huh ?

- [ Cheering ] | - Hey !

[ Musburger ] | Down by ten late in the fourth quarter,

Coach Klein | opts for the field goal.

[ Fouts ] | Then they have to hope for the onside | kick and a touchdown to tie the game.

Dan, look what we have here. | Boucher's in the game as a blocker.

Last game of the year, Brent. | Can't hold anything back now.

Set !

The snap. lt's a fake !

Boucher's out in front ! | a great block !

- [ Grunting ] | - and a second one !

Touchdown, Mud Dogs !

- Boucher led him all the way ! | - [ Screaming ] Yeah !

Red Beaulieu | is steaming, Dan.

Brent, he sees his | perfect season slipping away.

The Cougar's lead | is down to three.

[ Cheerleaders Cheering, | lndistinct ]

The Mud Dogs need the ball back if | they're gonna have a shot at overtime.

and Bobby Boucher is | now on the kickoff team.

- Last game of the year, Brent. | Can't hold anything back now. | - l know.

- [ Horns Blaring ] | - Who's it gonna be ?

Who's it gonna be ? | Who's it gonna be ?

[ Chuckling ] | Oh, yeah. There's my b*tch.

[ Musburger ] Remember, | the ball must travel ten yards.

lt's loose !

-Mud Dogs football ! Mud Dogs football ! | -all right !

Mama, l got the football ! | l got it--

Oh, what a vicious hit ! | That was a cheap shot.

- Oh ! | - [ Murmuring ]

- [ Whistle Blowing ] | - [ Fouts ] and what a dumb penalty.

That puts the Mud Dogs | in field goal range for the tie.

- Dan, l'm not sure that Boucher | is able to get back up. | - Oh, my baby !

lt's still cold. | [ Chuckles ]

- [ Chattering ] | - Excuse me. Out of my way.

Dan, you hate | to see this happen.

Now, that's | high quality H2O.

- [ Cheering ] | - [ Vicki ] You go on, now ! | Make it happen, Bobby !

The waterboy | just needed some water.

- Wow, Dan. You think that up | all by yourself ? | - Shut up, Brent.

- [ Shouting, Yelling ] | - are you okay ?

He tried to open up a can | of whoop-ass on me. l wouldn't let him.

Listen, l have an idea for the last | play. You haven't done this before.

all right ? The offence | is gonna line up like this.

- Yeah. | - You're gonna be right here.

[ Musburger ] | There'll be no tie here today.

Coach Klein is sending | his offence back on to the field.
