Part 10 - Bravado and Fallout
70-0.
That's right. Seventy to nothing. It was the worst defeat in Bulldogs history, and it was administered to them by my Wildcats. And it was not as close as the score indicated.
It was clear that the Wildcats would dominate from the opening series, when the went down and effortlessly scored on a five-minute, eight-play drive. Then the Bulldogs were held to their first of twelve 'three-and-outs'. They only had two first downs the entire game. The halftime score was 42-0, and it was expected both teams would begin shuffling in reserves.
The game stayed relatively clean until early in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats took nine minutes off the clock and finally ran out of football field to run on, and they went up 49-0. But on the next series a couple of Bulldogs 'red dogged' the center (illegal in college football), and also hit the quarterback late. Not a bad hit, certainly no intent to injure, and yellow flags flew all over the place.
Still, Coach Richmond, a one-time college quarterback himself, was known for retaliating against late hits to his quarterbacks. He put the first string back in. On the next play, the quarterback threw a beautiful 55-yard strike to the team's best wide receiver, who caught it for the easy score over the totally outclassed Bulldogs cornerback. I felt some sense of
karma
at that: the cornerback had been the kid who'd 'fronted' me at the Wednesday morning practice.
The Wildcats did not relent and did not substitute, and put 2 more scores on, the last coming with 1:15 left on the clock for the historic 70-0 beatdown. I noticed as the coach's met that Coach Bronson's handshake was brief, but Coach Richmond made a point to say something to him. Bronson acted shocked, then walked off the field.
During the third quarter, Dr. Wellman asked if we should leave early. I quietly told him that, except for the Wildcats game, I had nothing against the Bulldogs and would root for them, and having said that I believed that for the team's future that he, Dr. Wellman, should go to the locker room after the game as he usually did after wins, and let the players know he supported them. He agreed, and indeed did so as the rest of his party moved towards the bus to go to the airport.
I later saw a video someone made of Wellman's talk. He said "I know you're hurting now, boys, but I can only quote a former president and say 'Only when you have been in the deepest valley can you truly appreciate the view from the highest mountain.'. We're in that valley now, but we
will
climb that mountain. We start climbing today. I promise you that the University will be there to support you, and to climb with you. Don't ever hang your heads, gentlemen. You are Bulldogs! We are Bulldogs!" The players responded very positively to the message.
I knew that I was seeing the birth of something, and that this 70-0 beatdown would not be forgotten... and that such lopsided wins would not be coming against the Bulldogs in the future...

To no one's surprise, the plane ride home was very quiet. Dr. Wellman talked privately with Laura for some time, while I talked with Sheriff Allgood about the 'Fake Badges' series of crimes.
Once we got home, Laura and I changed into our costumes for the Hallowe'en party at the University President's mansion. We were going as Marc Antony and Cleopatra, and let's just say that Laura's costume was... revealing. It would be more accurate to say there was almost no costume at all (Yowza!).
We made the rounds of speaking to people, but there was a tremendously subdued air to the party, mostly because of the football defeat, but partly because most of the people there had other, late-night parties to attend. Laura and I were part of that last group; we excused ourselves early and headed to our next party, at Rita's 'Lashes & Lace'.
"Mmmm, my two most delicious party favors." said Rita as she came up to us. She and Laura exchanged a two-cheek kiss, then Rita plastered a kiss right on my wife's mouth. Rita followed up with the same for me. "So, to whom may I give you away tonight, Doctor? I'm keeping your husband as a present to myself, of course."
"If you don't mind," Laura said, slipping her arm around the statuesque blonde's waist, "it has been a very long day, and I wouldn't mind just sitting back with a nice drink."
"As usual," I said, "my wife's beauty is exceeded only by her brains. That's not a bad idea."
"You do look a little tired, Doctor." said Rita. She turned to me and said "And you look like you've been fucking someone's brains out today. Cop." I just grinned.
Rita escorted us downstairs, where a full-blown orgy was in progress. I recognized at least one couple from the Wellman's party, where a female English professor was being 'spit-roasted' by a Satyr and another man as her husband watched her... while having his cock sucked by another woman.
The stage was to the right as one entered the room, Rita's alcove to the left, the 'secret' passage to her office on the left, to the right of the alcove. At back left was another hallway. Rita took us down that passage to a very comfortable room that was reasonably lighted. The walls were ringed with TVs, showing the action on the main floor. Sex in this room was forbidden; it was just for talking, having a drink, and watching. Laura and I indulged in some adult beverages as we and four other couples, also masked, watched the screens.
But while sex was forbidden, kissing and light touching was allowed. Laura sat back on the soft sofa we were sitting on and spread her long, shapely legs obscenely, allowing her pussy to be seen by anyone looking. She and I shared some kisses as she touched her clit, feeling the eyes of the other couples upon us. One couple left to join the main floor orgy; Laura had aroused them with her wanton exhibitionism.
