No, these were the brave, the fearless, the unstoppable Flag Footballers of Minnesota! At the helm of this group was their quirky, larger-than-life coach, Thunderfoot Tubby. Tubby was a rotund, jolly man with extraordinarily large feet, which he claimed were the secret to his legendary football skills. He was known across the state for his thunderous laugh and the ability to chomp down a dozen hot dogs in a single breath. This peculiar band of kids were a sight to see on the field, their colorful flags fluttering in the wind as they sprinted across the turf.

Flag football matches in Minnesota were a spectacle that brought the entire community together. Screams of laughter echoed as Tubby would trip over his gargantuan shoes, and cheers erupted each time the team executed a perfect play. The kids’ tenacity was as fierce as a Minnesota blizzard, their spirit as bright as a summer's day by Lake Superior. Every kid in Minnesota dreamed of being part of this gang.

Above all, they were friends, bound together by their shared love for flag football and the wacky, wonderful Thunderfoot Tubby.
