“Good game. I kicked off, broke his cage, scored on him, rinsed, repeated, went up 2-0 at halftime, to receive in the second half. But in so doing, he KO'ed or BH'ed quite a lot of my guys. I didn't take any permanent damage, and after I had him down 3-0 I kind of lightened up a bit. he scored quickly on me, and then got a Blitz! result combined with some bad rolls on my part to make the game a competitive 3-2. But he couldn't turn me over again, and I got the final touchdown to make it 4-2.

Lots of dialog and banter made this game fun; otherwise, it wouldn't have been a good time for either coach. Nocciolino fought very hard, even when there wasn't much hope left. As I told my opponent at the end: "The fat lady was just a-yodelin' away, but you paid no mind. I like that." 9 fouls, though....

No matter. I'm ready for it next time.”
