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

(1) Gridiron Gang prevents the perfect season Vs. (10) Corona Bowl II
Unfortunately as we all know, there is no recorded history of the 2009 season. But there are a few moments that will go down in LOC history forever despite this. This game was one of them. As you may have guessed, this game pitted Gridiron Gang against at the time undefeated Bear Necessities. Bear Necessities would go on to win Corona Bowl I, but it's got to sting knowing they were just one mid season game from perfection (courtesy of Gridiron Gang). I think they're ok with this considering they won it all.

'Corona Bowl II' was also Gridiron Gang against Bear Necessities, but this time in the 2010 season. There was so much story behind this game, Bear Necessities the reigning champions, looking to retain the title and win it for a second time in a row. It was a Stubbs bowl for the ages, Coach D Stubbs Vs. Coach N Stubbs of Gridiron Gang, who had won 6 of the last 7 games just to get to the title game. The game itself was relatively close, 113-97 and it was a tight one all game long.

Winner: Corona Bowl II
Reason: Really a great story line to this game, and the magic of a title


(29) 175 Destruction Vs. (14) Cutting it close II
'175 Destruction' was a week 5 match up in 2012 between The Tuckfards and Forge Flyers. In a season where The Tuckfards appeared in their first Corona Bowl, they were a truly dominant team during the regular season. Forge Flyers didn't stand a chance, even though they put up a respectable 91 points, The Tuckfards simply outclassed them with 175 points.

'Cutting it close II' took place in Week 4 2011, between Tom's Tyrants and ADRZ. This game got out to a roaring start, By the end of the 9pm games they were both over 90 points. ADRZ sprung out to a lead, but Tom's Tyrants hunger in there and took a small lead at the end of the 9pm games. ADRZ would (literally) crawl to a victory in the Sunday night game however, beating Coach Barnes by the slim margin of 95.76 - 94.84, yep not even a point.
Winner: 175 Destruction
Reason: One of the highest scoring weeks in LOC History


(3) Corona Bowl I Vs. (45) Corona Bowl V
'Corona Bowl I' is another game we sadly won't know the history of. All we know is Bear Necessities were entering the title game with just one loss in their first season, and Burdettinators were looking to knock them off the pedestal. They weren't able to though, and Bear Necessities were a worthy champion in the leagues first year. These two would then not have a lot of success, until....

'Corona Bowl V' where Burdettinators took on nemesis The Tuckfards. Entering this game, Burdettinators had never beaten The Tuckfards, NEVER. It looked like history would repeat, as The Tuckfards sprung out to an early lead, and had been impressive all season. They started to stumble, and Burdettinators recovered, they were tied at the end of the 6pm games. Burdettinators had enough of Coach Merritt by this point, and proceeded to embarrass him by scoring a record amount of points in a Corona Bowl. 161.50 - 97.64.

Winner: Corona Bowl V
Reason: No history of the game really hurt Corona Bowl I here


(35) Start how you wish to finish Vs. (60) #200Club
'Start how you wish to finish' was just an explosive game. Week 1 of 2013, Tom's Tyrants took on The Dream Team, and it did not disappoint. If the teams had been tested for PED's prior to this game, it's likely they would have all been suspended for the season. Both teams just exploded out of the game, putting up 100 by the end of the 9pm games. But scoring didn't stop there, The Dream Team would put up another 36, and Tom's Tyrants would put up another 60! final score, 159.90 - 136.96.

'#200Club' has to be the favourite at this point. Fresh in the memory, Week 13 of 2014, Tom's Tyrants took on The Tuckfards. The two winningest coaches in history would produce a game for the ages. By the end of the 6pm games, Tom's tyrants had already eclipsed 160 points! Over the same time span, The Tuckfards had barely cleared 60. Tom's Tyrants had players score 40, 31, 24, 34, and 36! Not to mention another 50 points on their bench. Probably the highest scoring game in LOC history, Tom's Tyrants smashed Coach Merritt 205.88 - 121.02.

Winner: #200 Club
Reason: On the game chart Coach Barnes' team's point ascension is literally vertical
