“Cutting it Close V” was a good’un. TS were going one way (2-0) while B were heading another (0-2). It was tight, TS jumped ahead. B retook a narrow lead, only for TS to crawl to a W on Monday night 121.72 – 120.30.
“Playoffs Baby!” was the game where TTU broke the record for most playoff appearances (all time & in a row), against the team that held the record, GG. It was a good game too, very back and forth. But TTU’s quality came through.
Winner: Playoffs Baby!
Reason: Both were great games, but TTY’s achievement is tremendous
(23) The Rookie Has Landed Vs. (8) The Miracle
“The Rookie Has Landed” Was another historical game, it was the 1st time a team from the Rookie Division reached the Corona Bowl. TTY beat TTU 105-91 by staging a sustained comeback after TTU jumped out to a lead.
“The Miracle” is a great point in LOC history. Week 9 of 2010 was the 1st win of 7 of 8 in GG’s monumental run to the title. The game itself was a lower scorer against FF (76-61).
Winner: The Rookie Has Landed
Reason: GG’s run was the stuff dreams are made of, but the first game was not
(47) Missed it by that much Vs. (33) The Manning Effect
“Missed it by that much” was the 1st game of the 2014 season between GG and TTU. It was a low scorer (73-70) that TTU nearly blew at the end. But GG were the ones who really blew it, if they played any one of their bench players they would have won.
“The Manning Effect”was the 1st game of the 2013 season between B and ADRZ. Peyton Manning scored the highest point total by a player in LOC history (60). B could have won without him, in a 164-83 drubbing.
Winner: The Manning Effect
Reason: The highest scoring player in LOC history.
(11) Starting with a Bang Vs. (19) Even my backups nearly beat you
“Starting with a Bang” was the 1st game of 2011 between TTY and TS, all guns blazing, multiple league changes, and a last gasp lead change at the end. TS won 133-131.
“Even my backups nearly beat you” was a week 10 bout between B and BN. B won the game 179 – 117. But B’s bench also got 113 points! That’s probably the highest scoring total team in a week ever. B was actually behind in this game until Mike Vick got 57 points.
Winner: Even my backups nearly beat you
Reason: I mean, the Monday night comeback was just demoralizing
(54) BOOM! Vs. (36) Wembley Woes
“BOOM!” was TDT explosion in a 150-109 point victory. Considering all TDT had gone through that season (this game was week 8) they did a great job in this game.
“Wembley Woes” was a Wembley bowl took place between GG and ADRZ. Coach Stubbs was rubbing in how he had won after jumping out to a lead, only for ADRZ to crawl back and win it 124-118 with a career day by 37 year old TE Tony Gonzalez.
Winner: Wembley Woes
Reason: Everyone loves a Wembley Bowl. Plus this had a nice story behind it
(4) The Foundation of the 150 Club Vs. (43) 3rd Year Leap
“The Foundation of the 150 Club” was the first game (on record) where a team scored 150 points. B mauled GG in week 3 of 2010 to the tune of 152-91.
“3rd Year Leap” was the first playoff game in ADRZ history. ADRZ were steadily behind B, but managed to take the lead in the 9pm games, only to stop scoring. B won 138-109.
Winner: 3rd Year Leap
Reason: ADRZ gave it their all, but we all know how good B was that season
(31) Bad Coaching Vs. (20) Newbies Dual to the Death
“Bad Coaching” wasn’t a great game. G lost to TTY 91-69, but what was notable was GG scored 108 points...on their bench. In their defence, 2 QBs combined for 70 of these points.
“Newbies Dual to the Death” was between the new kids, TDT and TS. Both experienced growing pains that season, but that didn’t prevent a good game. It was a low scoring 87-85 game that went right to the end on Monday night (to TS).
Winner: Bad Coaching
Reason: 108 points, jeez. Nearly doubled the points of the starters.
(41) Stat Change-Gate Vs. (22) Tough Break
“Stat Change-Gate” is probably the biggest controversy in LOC history. A very close game between FF and BN, in which BN won 120-115....until Tuesday morning. The NFL reviewed a passing TD by BN QB Joe Flacco that was actually a running touchdown, ultimately making BN lose 115-114.
“Tough Break” was a game between IKNAN & ADRZ. To make playoffs, IKNAN needed to beat ADRZ & out score GG by 50 points if they won. IKNAN beat ADRZ 161-103...but GG won and scored 115. They missed out on playoffs by just 4 points.
Winner: Stat Change-Gate
Reason: That game was great alone, the controversy just adds to the drama.
