After a nudge from Will, I believe I'm on the Will train as well. Slapping my forehead though...

My first attempt was wide right; but my second split the uprights. So now that Will has his own thread, we need to come up with an "I solved it!" metaphor. After all, isn't the proclamation what we solve a meta for?
Since Will appears to be big on anagrams I suggest DINO ME (anagram for I’m done) It’s short, and ...well Yabba Dabba Doo

I’m not generally a fan of anagrams, but when they’re short and the puzzle clearly tells you that that’s what you have to do, I don’t mind.
I wasn’t sure whether the diagonal line was a minor inelegance or had some football meaning that went right over my head.
All in all, I enjoyed the puzzle.

I thought the diagonal line was a cool feature because it made it look more like a real football diagram, and the slope worked out nicely. Algebra 1 lingo: the vertical rise and horizontal run between the X and O are 8 and 4, and the S is the midpoint exactly halfway between them (rise 4 and run 2) so the line went right through the center of the S with no nonsense.
