Thanks for pointing this out James. I didn't notice while watching. That shoe really goes flying! Had a good laugh.
"How fiendishly deceptive of you Magnum. I could have sworn I was hearing the emasculation of a large rodent."
In the beginning, TC runs to catch a pass from the Mag from the road side of the property toward the main entrance door of the estate house where the cars are parked. After they celebrate the catch, TC and Magnum line up to run another pattern facing the gate on the road side of the property. Magnum heaves the ball with TC in pursuit and the passplay culminates with TC steamrolling Higgins back in the same place where the passplay began. TC should have been running away from Higgins instead of toward him. Or maybe the wind was just blowing very, very hard...
Who's Dot Matrix, and what has she got to do with this?
I guess I'll have to watch footage of it by myself and a six pack of Dusseldorf (any Oktoberfest beer). Hopefully my wife won't harass me like Higgins did with Magnum at the end of the episode!

James,
I have watched this epi for years as it is one of my favorites. I never noticed the arrangement of the scene until recently. It makes me wonder how much more flub material awaits discovery. If only I had the time...

I wonder if Magnum ever made it to the Army/Navy game? I mean, it's been 26 years since that episode. Nah... he probably recorded it on Robin Masters' DVR recorder!
At the start of the episode Magnum says the last time he threw a football in a game was the 1967 Army-Navy game; a few months later he graduated.
Later in the show he says the backup QB had been waiting since 1963 to take his place (which presumably the backup got to do in the re-match Magnum missed this year).
If the backup QB had been waiting since 1963, presumably Magnum was a first-year student that fall (the 1963 football season). In that case he would have graduated in spring 1967, which means he wouldn't be around for the 1967 Army-Navy game.
Unless of course the Annapolis academic year begins in January rather than in the fall, or the midshipmen are there for more than 4 years.
Anybody have any ideas? I thought it was kind of a big flub, but who knows?
