'Got a point?' Was an important week 6 match up in 2010 between Burdettinators and Ashleys Steelers. Ashley's Steelers hadn't won a game in their career up to this point, and Burdettinators were struggling at 2-3. You couldn't separate the two teams for the entire length of the game, and it went right to the last snap on Monday Night Football, where Ashley's Steelers did just enough to win it, by a margin of just .38 points. It was the first win of their season, and the the teams history.
"Corona Bowl II Rematch" was the first time since Corona Bowl II that Gridiron Gang and Bear Necessities played each other. This was a good game, but was never going to live up to the expectations of the big game. The two were essentially tied for a long period of the game, but Bear Necessities managed to etch out a lead and Gridiron Gang couldn't keep up.
Winner: Got a point?
Reason: This was one of the closest games in LOC history
(39) Wrong end of the stick Vs. (44) Passing is overrated
'Wrong end of the stick' was the 2nd week in a row ADRZ would lose by a margin of just 3 points, this time against Forge Flyers. It was a fairly standard 93-90 game that was close throughout, and ultimately didn't lead to them missing out on playoffs. What really made this game interesting was ADRZ staged a momentous comeback only to just be outplayed at the end.
'Passing is overrated' was a playoff matchup between The Tuckfards and IKNAN. It was a game in which we saw the highest playoff points by a single player in LOC playoff history. The Tuckfards were lead to a victory by a 50 point performance by running back Jamaal Charles, en route to a 160-114 victory.
Winner: Passing is overrated
Reason: Just a better quality game with an absolutely ridiculous point total for a non-QB player
(28) Down to the wire Vs. (21) Chiquitos
'Down to the wire' was an early season match up between ADRZ & The Dream Team in 2012. Both in their sophomore seasons, both looking to improve from the previous year. ADRZ jumped out to a big lead early on, looking like they'd leave The Dream Team in the dust. But the steam train ran out of coal, and The Dream Team not only came back, but won in a narrow 117-115 victory.
'Chiquitos' was just an awesome experience. Week 14 of the 2011 season, Gridiron Gang faced Burdettinators. Both teams had a 6-7 record, and a 7-7 record could be enough to make playoffs if other results fell the right way. It was Coach Stubbs' 18th, and many coaches were at Chiquitos with him. It was a close game throughout, in which Burdettinators held a lead for virtually the entire game. Coach Stubbs was getting teased all game long for this, only to make a Monday Night comeback and win the game 115-109, making the playoffs in the process.
Winner: Chiquitos
Reason: Everything around this game, and the game itself, makes it a real dark horse
(32) Corona Bowl IV Vs. (53) The Underdog
'Corona Bowl IV' is just another game in a long line of great Corona Bowls. It took place between established veteran coach Merritt of The Tuckfards, and a rookie coach only just entering his 10th game. Coach Simpson took the helm of Touchdown Syndrome in Week 7 and guided them to the Corona Bowl. Little did they know they'd end up winning it all 128-97.
'The Underdog' took place in Week 5 between Gridiron Gang and The Dream Team. Both teams were going in opposite directions. Gridiron Gang (coming off two torrid seasons where they combined for a 7-21 record) started the year slow at 1-3. The Dream Team on the other hand looked like a champion through the first 4 weeks, starting undefeated and just dismantling their opponents. That looked like it would continue, as The Dream Team were just piling the points up against Gridiron Gang. But Gridiron Gang were keeping up, and late in the day on Monday night they came up clutch with a 38 point performance with QB R. Wilson.
Winner: The Underdog
Reason: It was a better game, in which everyone thought The Dream Team would crush their opponent.
