Bracketology: Greatest Game in LOC History (1st 64, part III)

(1) Gridiron Gang prevents the perfect season Vs. (25) Cutting it close IV
"Gridiron Gang prevents the perfect season" is of course the only loss by BN in their championship 2009 season. Sadly this was before records began so we have no details on the game, but from memory it was a good one, and it's such a pivotal game in history.

"Cutting it close IV" is one of the best rivalry games in the LOC, IKNAN v FF. It was week 1, neither coach wanted to lose. It also looked like neither wanted to win, until IKNAN opened a late lead. FF managed to just edge it on Monday night, 100-98.

Winner: Gridiron Gang prevents the perfect season
Reason: BN were really good that year. REALLY good.


(48) Holy Moly Vs. (10) Corona Bowl II
"Holy Moly" was a game where no defense was played. BN & FF had a showdown in Week 2 2014, 142-131. It was close the whole game, with BN just edging it, what a game.

"Corona Bowl II" had a lot to it. BN attempting to remain the only champion, GG in the process of a monumental run, a Stubbs Bowl, it was a fairy tale game. BN had the early lead, but GG rapidly came back and won it 113-97.

Winner: Corona Bowl II
Reason: What a story, what a game


(29) 175 Destruction Vs. (16) Cutting it close III
"175 Destruction" the name kinda says it all. TTU just destroyed FF 175-91. FF never came close to leading. That's the end of it.

"Cutting it close III" was also TTU, against BN. a mid season game that came down to 1.16 points. BN had a lead of less than a point for nearly all of the Monday night game, but TTU limped over the line right at the end.

Winner: 175 Destruction
Reason: Cutting it close III kinda fizzled out at the end


(40) Nearly the tie II Vs. (14) Cutting it close II
"Nearly the tie II" didn't look like it would be. Between IKNAN & GG, GG jumped out to a huge lead. IKNAN fought their way back and took a 3 point lead. GG had a kicker to win it...that only got 2 points. IKNAN also started a bye kicker, and left an RB spot blank. Ouch, 88.40-87.34.

"Cutting it close II" was between ADRZ & TTY. It came down to 0.92 of a point. TTY was lagging behind all game, until they took a small lead, that ADRZ just about over took. 95.76-94.84.

Winner: Cutting it close II
Reason: Nearly the tie II shouldn't have been that close


(6) Does anyone want to win? Vs. (3) Corona Bowl I
"Does anyone want to win" was the lowest total points in a game on record. AS took on FF in a less than interesting 36-58 pee wee fantasy game.

"Corona Bowl I" is of course the 1st title game between BN & B. We don't have any record of the game, but a lot was on the line. BN ultimately won out, going 15-1 and the record for most wins in a season still stands.

Winner: Corona Bowl I
Reason: If you can't figure this one out, kindly resign from the league


(45) Corona Bowl V Vs. (17) Tebow Time
"Corona Bowl V" was a demolition job. TTU & B, and TTU looked like they'd jump out to an early lead (after losing in the Corona Bowl the year before). B swiftly ended an thoughts of that, and proceeded to embarrass them 161-97, which is a record for points in the title game. It's also the only game B has ever beaten TTU.

"Tebow Time" was the first start by Tebow in the LOC (for B against TTU no less). Though Tebow worked his magic to win in real life, he came up short for B, who lost 100-115.TTU were losing big, but came back to get the W.

Winner: Corona Bowl V
Reason: It was a great title game


(35) Start how you wish to finish Vs. (24) Corona Bowl III
"Start how you wish to finish" was a blinder between TTY & TDT. 159-136 in favour of TTY, it was a huge opening week. TDT tried to stage a late comeback, but fell well short in the end.

"Corona Bowl III" was between then current champ GG & 1st Rookie Division rep in the Corona Bowl, TTY. They also became the 1st Rookie Division champion, in an impressive 140-91 game.

Winner: Start how you wish to finish
Reason: It was just a better quality game


(50) Got a point? II Vs.(60) #200Club
"Got a point? II" came down to .64 of a point. ADRZ v B, and ADRZ were leading nearly the whole game. B had to rely on a D, they gained the lead when they started, lost some points which lost them the lead, but regained some to bring home the W.

"#200Club" Is the highest score by a team in history. TTY set it against TTU, and it was week 13 in their mythical run to the title. TTU got 121 as well, making it the highest scoring game in history. It's just an amazing achievement.

Winner: #200Club
Reason: I'm not sure this ever happens again.
