“Gallaudet outplayed Ottawa this match. Oh they had a bit of help from the dice (first turn Ottawa fouls and the ref bans the player for a stun, there were a fairly high number of KO's caused by the Deaf Bulls throughout the whole game, seen in the turns played, a Mummy removed on turn 2), but they still played it properly.

With Ottawa receiving, Gallaudet set up an impenetrable wall of bull centaurs, dorves, bull centaurs, and yet more bull centaurs. Hthark is Unstoppable, and awesome. I don't remember the last time I played against him, but damn, he was VERY difficult to deal with.

Ottawa feinted south, pulled the entire Gallaudet team with them, but didn't have enough players to safely dart north to score - and snake eye on the gfi meant huge break away moment for the Deaf Bulls. We managed to stop them, but the half still ended 0-0.

Then Gallaudet received.. and did exactly the same thing. Stomp forward. Stomp. Stomp. Stomp.

So we did the only thing we could. We antagonized Nuffle. We screamed imprecations at him.. and he responded. First, Kirill the Mummy successfully went for it twice, and took down the Almighty Joey, mere yards from our own end zone. Then Jean-Michel darted in, picked up the ball under the mighty watch of the other centaur, Everett - AND passed it all the way down to Julian Starr.

And then, Hthark stepped up to the plate. The pitcher threw the ball, and STRIKE ONE! Hthark failed his break tackle dodge away from the puny Ghoul holding on to him. And the pitcher threw the ball and STRIKE TWO! Hthark used up the last team re-roll (and successfully dodged). And the pitcher threw the last third pitch, and mighty Hthark, Hthark the Unstoppable, Mighty Hthark.. struck... out. Double Skulls against Julian Starr, and the game was lost.

Julian Starr snuck in the sole touchdown on turn 7 of the second half.

Thanks for the match Sergtacos!


P.S. to all those who know the story of Mighty Casey at the Bat, sorry for mangling my writing of it.”
