Monday lunch was now traditional. Griff, Durango, Robbie, Kekoa, and Peggy gathered in the Huygens cafeteria. Because this week the Monday special was tacos with choices of fillings, no one had ordered anything else. Griff had commandeered a multitude of containers of salsa. Robbie, who had not eaten many tacos in his life, was wiping salsa off the front of his Republic of Ireland National football Team jersey.

"We play the Diablo Mountain College Wolves next Saturday, " Griff said. Ominously. "This one, we are not likely to win."

"The big bad Wolves," Durango observed. "It is not my opinion that our defense will be able to stop their quarterback. Our only hope is Noah and Darnell working together. I have been informed that Professor Bond is collaborating with them on mathematically impossible to counter Defense systems, the Holy Grail of Football math."

"From the Offense point of view, scoring against The Wolves' Defense will be difficult," Griff commented. "But, River is gifted with sixth sense accuracy; Achebe is a potential NFL receiver; Gerry is extraordinarily fast; Will is formidable. I don't think they will shut us out."

Because he was not sure whether or not the Lester Hayes rule applied to D3 football, he did not mention that the Chemistry Department was studying stickum formulas. Undetectable stickum was the Holy Grail of football chemistry, he had been informed by the Chair of the Chemistry Department. Personally, Griff did not think that his receivers needed stickum. However, cooperating with the goals of the Chair of the Chemistry Department, a former Wide Receiver at USC, was necessary at a STEM collage.
