Welcome back everyone! Before we get into the games, I first want to shoutout all the people who stepped up on Saturday during the 10am game slot when a medical emergency occurred. I know you folks may not see yourselves as heroes, or even want the recognition, but I think I speak for everyone when I say you all are heroes, and the way you jumped into action, is beyond admirable and we are thankful for that. So on behalf of everyone, THANK YOU!

The weather Saturday was less than ideal. Well, let’s call it what it was; IT SUCKED! But it made for some very interesting and fun games, so let’s take a look!

 

Breakfast Club

BDSM 22, Liddle Dubs 7

You don’t have to ask him, because he is sure to brag about it to you, but Sean can sling the ball around and has gotten BDSM off to a better start than last session. The Shbend-Sean connection proved dividends again, as they marched down the field time and time again. Frank was back there throwing for the Dubs, but struggled with some drops as the rain started. 

 

D1

Eyes Downtown 19, TEIM 8

Not much of a barnburner here, as TEIM only musters one scoring drive and ED didn’t do a ton more. Blaise was on the sideline most of the time with a warm cup of coffee while looking cold. TEIM really struggled to complete passes in the rain, while Eric Kleckler complained that his legs were too big to possibly move well in the elements. Eyes downtown gets back on track with a sloppy win though. 

Legend 22, Losing Streak 19

If there was no rain, this might have been a higher scoring affair but that seemed to get neutralized. This was a battle of two smart QB’s in Joey Batts and Jordan Lawson, with Joey coming out on top this time. Sean was all over the place on both sides of the ball, and Joey used his girls to his advantage time and time again. This matchup was a clear indicator of how close D1 is this season!

 

D2

No Punt Intended 27, Freeballer 23

Kyle Conniff stepped up at QB, and looked as poised as ever. Seems like he may have missed playing QB a little bit. Apparently Travis was on dad duty in the morning, so Kyle stepped up and led the team to victory. Kyle stood tall like an Adonis, delivering strike after strike and leaving the Freeballers in the dust. I kid, overall this was competitive and went back and forth but in the end NPI takes the win and keeps their hold on D2. 

Mavericks 30, NPI 20

As confident as Kyle was game one, that confidence eroded against the staunch Mavericks team. Money Mike Burke was back for the Mavericks, and the energy was felt. Jordan Lawson played like the wily vet he is, seeming to have zero issues with throwing to his players in the rain. Jordan’s receivers found themselves open time and time again, and he delivered. 

 

D3

Degeneration SeXy 23, Bullet Club 21

Langley was back at QB for BC, and struggled early on. He complained about his ball being wet, but wasn’t everyone else’s? Scotty Dro led his team to a solid early lead and the Keller Clan was able to hold off a late BC surge to hold onto the victory. 

Jabronies 38, Wanderers 27

The later crowd seemed to maybe draw the better of the weather, as it was more of a mist than a torrential downpour like earlier in the day. Jabronies were short-handed, but that didn’t matter for Joe Miano who delivered a beautiful deep ball to Joe Streigel. Wanderers played their normal strategic game, and found Tiff and Mackenzie often. Close game through and through, but Jabronies make a statement on this wet day. 

 

D4

BAADies 41, Cobblestone 13

I have to feel for Darryl here, as he showed up ready to play, but it seems his team didn’t. Darryl was scrounging for any available player he could before the game, and between barefoot Ricky (whose cleats were left on the bus) and a grey hair player they got just enough to field a team. BAADies on the other hand had more than enough. Garrett had this game circled on the calendar since the schedule release, and he did not disappoint.   BAADies made all the throws they needed to and the girls took care of business on defense while Garrett took a seat, which was enough to put them back in the win column. 

Buffalo Vice 44, Creekers 14

It seemed like the Creekers were getting some momentum last week even in defeat, but that crashed down this week. Buffalo Vice is like the box of chocolates, you just do not know which team you will get each week. Well, it was the good one this week. Vice had no problems moving the ball down the field, and the receivers caught everything. Maybe Creekers will have a little more luck when the rain isn’t blowing sideways the whole time. 

 

D5

Gucci 35, Come From Behind 34

Perhaps the game of the day, what a back and forth game! Not much of a defensive affair, as this was the battle of the arms. Both teams scored on a whim and have a ton of height, and it came in handy with all the jump balls. Some say the rain played a factor in CFB speed advantage, but I wouldn’t be so sure. Gucci has some serious athletes sporting the gold shirt. 

ILF 43, GoatSack! 23

ILF came in with a new QB this week, and the results speak for themselves! From my understanding, it is a relative (or friend?) of Christina Nelson, so it would make sense that he is good. Goatsack is still adjusting back to TSL, and have had some good outputs, but were no match for the chemistry and athletes ILF possesses. I guess a jump down to D5 was what they needed to learn to win again!

 

D6

Two Tuddies 40, GrASS Eaters 20

The Tuddies went from a learning D5 team to a true D6 title contender in two short seasons, so that is fun to watch! The QB for the tuddies lets his receivers do their thing and he will just find them down there somewhere. TT put up points at will, while the Moser’s struggled a bit to do the same. The tall stallion Chris Wolcott is a matchup nightmare in this division. 

 

That’s it for this week, and while I loved watching the action out there Saturday, I need mother nature to be a bit more cooperative next week! I think I speak for everyone when I say that! I’ll be watching!
