Bracketology: Greatest game in LOC history (round 2, part II)

(42) Playoffs Baby! Vs. (23) The Rookie Has Landed

'Playoffs Baby!" Took place in the final week of the 2013 season. A game that pitted The Tuckfards against Gridiron Gang. This game is an interesting footnote in LOC History, as Coach Merritt broke the record for total playoff berths achieved & in a row, against the existing holder of the record, Coach Stubbs. It was a good game too, tight at the start, until Gridiron Gang took a small lead which was quickly closed by The Tuckfards, who then just managed to edge out Gridiron Gang.

'The Rookie Has Landed' Is another historical game. Tom's Tyrants became the first Rookie Division team to reach the Corona Bowl. They took on The Tuckfards in Week 15, in a game they fell behind early, but made a come back and defeated them 105-91. They would obviously then go on to become the first Rookie Division champion. A funny footnote of this game, The Tuckfards QB got 44 points, nearly half of all their points.

Winner: Playoffs Baby!

Reason: Just a better quality game

(33) The Manning Effect Vs. (19) Even my backups nearly beat you

'The Manning Effect' was the opening game of the 2013 season between Burdettinators and ADRZ. New Burdettinators QB Peyton Manning was playing against Baltimore in the first game of the season, fresh off of their Super Bowl victory. You'd be forgiven for forgetting they won however, as Manning dropped 7 TDs on them and banked a single player record 60 points for Burdettinators on Thursday night. They'd go on to win 164-83, not even needing Manning in the first place.

'Even my backups nearly beat you' was a ridiculous game. Let's just forget for a second that, as the name suggests, Burdettinators put up 113 points on the bench, the actual game was a 179-113 point fest. The amazing thing about this game was that Burdettinators were actually losing going into the Monday night game, only for Michael Vick to get 57 points. Burdettinators probably has the highest total team score in history (and their kicker didn't even score a point).

Winner: Even my backups nearly beat you

Reason: This was just a strange game...but amazing

(36) Wembley Woes Vs. (43) 3rd Year Leap

'Wembley Woes' is another addition to the much loved Wembley bowl series, when two coaches who are at Wembley together, play each other. This is probably one of the most memorable ones too. Gridiron Gang played ADRZ, and Coach Stubbs jumped out to an early lead in the 6pm and 9pm games. Coach Stubbs was rubbing it in to ADRZ all day long, until they started making a steady come back, which was eventually capped by a career day from a 37 year old TE named Tony Gonzalez, who got 27 points en route to a 124-118 victory for ADRZ.

'3rd Year Leap' also featured ADRZ in the 2013 season, against Burdettinators. After 2 tough years in the league, Coach Wells made the 3rd year leap achieving their first payoff berth. They had a tough match up however, as Burdettinators jumped out to an early lead. They stumbled at the mid point however, and ADRZ managed to retake a fragile lead. Sadly, this didn't last for long, ADRZ lost some points and the lead, while Burdettinators rolled onto the Corona Bowl. 138-109.

Winner: Wembley Woes

Reason: Great story, great game, and egg on the face of myself 

(31) Bad Coaching Vs. (41) Stat Change-gate

'Bad Coaching' was another game in a long line of games between Gridiron Gang and The Tuckfards. This game isn't that memorable for the on the field performance (The Tuckfards won in a painful 91-69 fashion), but more for what happened off the field. Let's ignore for a second Gridiron Gang nearly made a come back, but ultimately fell flat. They had 108 points on their bench. Yes, you read that right. In their defence, 70 points of this were between two QBs (and their starter got 17) but this is still crazy.

'Stat Change-gate' is infamous. Ignore what the history page tells you, we all know how this game went down. This was really a great game between Bear Necessities and Forge Flyers, and depending on how you view it, it either got better or worse by what transpired. Forge Flyers had the lead for a long time, only to surrender it in the Sunday night game. Forge Flyers staged a Monday night comeback, but came up 5 points short, 120-115. Or so we thought. Tuesday morning, the scores had changed to 115-114 in Forge Flyers favor. On review, Bear Necessities QB Joe Flacco had a passing touchdown overturned, as it was actually a lateral. This wiped 6 points off the board, and 1 win off the win column.

Winner: Stat Change-gate

Reason: Another dark horse for the title. It was a great game, and the biggest 'gate' in LOC history
