“Penalty on the play” was a cruel game between GG & IKNAN. It was a close game, 82-81 near the finish, and GG’s kicker kicked a field goal that would have given them the W. But the defence drew a penalty, the kicking team accepted, wiping the kick off the board, and then just knelt the ball to kill the game, resulting in a GG loss.
“Father and Son” is of course another series in the Stubbs Bowl. These games never disappoint, and this was no different in a 126-115 win for BN.
Winner: Penalty on the play
Reason: Good game, good story
(64) Corona Bowl VI Vs. (34) Corona Bowl IV Rematch
“Corona Bowl VI” was a magical game. A tale of 2 seasons between TDT & TTY. TDT held a lead for the whole game, until a last gasp come back was staged on Monday night by TTY. They won by a mere 3 points, making it the closest Corona Bowl in history.
“Corona Bowl IV Rematch” was between TTU & TRQB. TRQB was out to prove they weren’t a one hit wonder, while TTU wanted revenge. Well, revenge was sweet, in a close 111-106 victory for TTU.
Winner: Corona Bowl VI
Reason: Possibly the best title game we’ll ever see
(58) The Ollie and Phil montage Vs. (46) Starting with a bang II
“The Ollie and Phil montage” is another game in a long standing rivalry. There were nearly 300 total points in this game, but TTU dominated the game (like the rivalry), 171-124.
“Starting with a bang II” was opening game of the 2014 season between FF & ADRZ. ADRZ put up a week high 140 points, to FF’s 85.
Winner: The Ollie and Phil montage
Reason: One of the best rivalries in LOC history, and a good game
(62) Defensive battle in the playoffs Vs. (2) The Tie
“Defensive battle in the playoffs” was a playoff game in 2014 between TDT & BN. It was a close one, a 77-75 victory for TDT. There was nothing between them the whole game, TDT took a small late lead, BN tried to rally back but came up just short.
“The Tie” is (and likely will be) the only tie in LOC history, and it happened in the first season. It took place between GG & EFIB, before fractional points existed. It finished 86-86. There have been some close games, but none closer than this.
Winner: The Tie
Reason: Everyone loves a tie...except if you’re involved
(38) Bad Coaching II Vs. (61) It’s not quite 200, but...
“Bad Coaching II” was a rivalry game between BN & ADRZ. It was the 1st of 2 games ADRZ would lose by less than 3 points, 97-94. They’ll be kicking themselves for this one, as they had 104 points on their bench. Yikes.
“It’s not quite 200, but...” was the week following TTY’s incredible 205 point game. They scored 198 in this one. The two highest scoring weeks in history. You have to feel for their opponent TDT, who had a nice 116.
Winner: It’s not quite 200, but....
Reason: If 200 weren’t impressive enough, following up with that? Wow
(37) Relentless Vs. (63) James Milner Bowl I
“Relentless” was a game between B & GG. Why was it named this way? Because B never let up in a 154-71 beat down.
“James Milner Bowl I” is probably the only 2-week long game the LOC will ever see. It is of course, the losers bowl, and took place between FF & JS in 2014. It was actually a really close game too, narrowly won by JS.
Winner: James Milner Bowl I
Reason: This was actually a really entertaining game
(52) Jeff’s Seals first victory Vs. (56) The Miracle II
“Jeff’s Seals first victory” any guesses for what this is in reference to? Correct, a game between B & FF! ...no. It was a tough season, but this was definitely a bright spot for JS. They beat ADRZ in an impressive and tight game, 108-104.
“The Miracle II” was the 1st game in TTY’s momentous 9 game stretch on the way to a title, where they won 8 games. When the chips were down at 2-5, TTY came away with an impressive W against BN 149-103.
Winner: The Miracle II”
Reason: Both were great, but The Miracle II is iconic
(57) The Lowest Score Vs. (59) Catch me if you can
“The Lowest Score” is a dark point in JS’s season. Their opponent BN essentially had a bye week, as JS only scored 24 points, the lowest weekly score in LOC history. What’s amazing about this is Tony Romo (on their bench) scored 27 points. Their starter (Andy Dalton) scored -1.76.
“Catch me if you can” was a 2014 game between ADRZ & B. You should check out B’s point graph in this game, it’s literally just at a 45 degree angle, they never stopped in a 171-101 point fest.
Winner: The Lowest Score
Reason: I mean, 24 points is an achievement considering they were actually trying...
