First Gang Green drive - 7-0.... second
Gang Green drive - 14-0. Third, fourth, fifth, sixth Gang Green drive
- 14-12. Yes, hit a bit of a snag in the middle there (THUMP! is the sound
of the ball hitting me right in the chest and then not being caught),
but came back strong finishing 21-12.

I had 40 reasons why I thought we might
not do so well this week (and two early punts did not help). But, we stayed
tough and beat all black 13-12 in a great, rainy, sloppy-field game. Good
throws, great hands (especially from the gals) and some unbelievable D...
that's the name of the game. (KER-PLUNK! (yup, sticking with the sound
effects) is the sound of me dropping my second TD in two weeks... just
like a big old ball of shit falling from of an overly-loose asshole...
yes, it's upsetting).

To be honest, I don't
really remember much from last night's game... actually, we hardly talked
about it afterwards. Course, that has a lot to do with the fact that we
smoked them (47-13) and they weren't that good. Man, there's something
to be said for having some confidence. Who's with me?

"Okay, I'll give
it to you." If the ref isn't a visor wearing jerk, he's a sweating,
indecisive little ball of nerves. We just can't be happy. Okay, maybe
in this case it got out of hand (thank goodness for our savior, Red Jacket
Red). No matter. Although extremely ugly with not-called penalties, not
a bad game. Scoring went back and forth with some pretty good looking
plays... picks by Pam, Bill and Schulte didn't hurt either. As long as
we're having fun, right? Final score, 50 to 38 (yes, you can put a lot
of points on the boards when each play only take 3 seconds (refer to the
aforementioned ref)).

(from Billy) I was planning
on doing a full recap to take a little break (work rules!) but, to be
honest, I don't remember the details to well. Joe filled in admirably
for our captain and the groom-to-be with a pick or two and a TD or two
(not to mention some innovative Jump Ball moves!) Craig and Pammy were
throwing some fine passes, Steph made some nice catches, Shon was knocking
down passes and recording sacks and hurries all over the place, which
allowed me to grab some wobbly ill-advised "passes" (though, I did pull
a Canseco with that one bouncing off my head). All in all, it was a good
win (final score: 39-6) that was assured from the opening whistle by the
Cool Visor Ref (who, not surprisingly, wasn't half as cool without the
visor on!) Anyway, it got so bad that I got to take a couple snaps and
had my first interception-free performance, perhaps, of my life.

Man, if we win this one,
I say "good game team." Course, the opposite means that we lost.
Yes, we had a few bad drops and didn't quite pull it together in the end,
but really... we didn't play that bad. So, we play well, lose, and are
bummed for the rest of the night. So is our lives that have become Co-Rec
Touch Football. Any team can beat any team on any given night... well,
this was their given night, and they won't have another given night the
next time we play them.

Must have been my "even if we lose"
pep talk, but Gang Green burst into the play-offs with some of their best
ball of the season. We welcomed Liam's scrappiness back and jumped on
Schulte (and his big paw) as the defense pitched it's first shutout of
the season (final score of 27-0 (thanks to the safety by the two-headed
dragon)). Course, the player of the game was definitely Mrs. Schlichting.
Two touchdowns... including a backbreaking deep seam route to start the
second half (and, my favorite... the crossing route where she scooped
it off of the turf while falling to her knees). Not too shabby at all.
Well, we sent Super Bowl home and proved that we're ready for the World
League (or at least the CFL). Here we go kids... let's make a run at it
(course, even if we lose...).
