Legend Bowl LP - Season 1 *Complete*

[Classix]

Didn't even know I had a character on the team until his back gave out.

Come on now man lol... not every body gets highlights. You've been good on here, The boys on D don't get many highlights if at all. I can 'feel' it though in game when someone is down on our Defense. You are part of the reason we are doing as good as we are I assure you. Game doesn't show love to the guys holding up the opposing team on the scrimmage line and you're not that 'old'.

I didn't mean it in a bad way, I genuinely didn't know. I was just checking in for the fun.

Ahh okay. I read this with a sleepy mind and some tired eyes. All good my man. Should have the results posted shortly.

[ 1st Quarter ]

The Chicago Blues snag the White Shark kick as their 1st possession starts off and they get to their 32 yl before going down. They push up to their 41 yl and almost got a 1st down as QB Darius Colosi goes for a long bomb but Xenich "The Ashen" gets in a swat on 3rd down to force the 4th and they have to punt it off back to us early.

Oyster Sauce catches the deep punt and gets it up to the HQ 22. Bob Tee gets us to the HQ 27 and Vergil "The Vampire" refreshes the 1st down on a nasty run up right catching The Blues off guard as he gets to their 44 yl!

Vergil_run_1stdown.png

Boon Taker chugs it up to the CHI 38 and Maiden Haver refreshes the 1st down with a run of his own all the way to the CHI 19... Kal makes a toss to Stacko Turtles but it's just out of reach which may have been a touchdown...ffs.

stacko_almost_catch.png

The Blues settle down and dig in to hold us for a 4th down... White Shark gets out there and aces the FG for 3 pts to at least get something for the drive.

HQ_FG_3_0.png

Chicago gets the kick back after the field goal to their 28. Xenich comes up with another clutch swat and the boys force them to a 4th down getting nowhere. They punt it off back as the crowd seems antsy at this slow start for their guys...

Oyster Sauce cradles that one out of the air and makes a nice juking run up to our 34 yl. Boob Tee and Vergil "The Vampire" get us to our 39 and a 1st down on our 48, but the Blues hold us there and we have to kick it off back...

On the Chicago Blues' next possession they get to their 30 yl and 38 and a Roguey "The Stealthy" tackle dislodges the Chicago receiver's helmet.

Hood_helm_off.png

A few of the boys get face to face but Roguey "The Stealthy" holds his hands up and walks away as he's certain it wasn't a high hit on purpose and the scuffle is a minor one as we don't push the engagement further. Chicago is held for a 4th down on their 38 and punt it off back to us yet again.

Possessions exchange a couple times with some notable plays by Bob Tee with a nice catch for 19 yards while double covered and Lore Gamer racking up some nice tackle stats.

There isn't much else to report on the 1st quarter boys as it comes to an end with Chicago having it on their 35 yl after another Wndrbr Boots punt.

[ 2nd Quarter ]

Chicago comes out to start the 2nd quarter with a 1st down on their 35 yl. They make small gains to the 41, 43 and 46 but we lock'em to a 4th down and they kick it off away to us.
We can't get anything going after the punt as it's a stalemate again with us getting stopped at our 42 before having to send it back...

Chicago gets up to their 44 yard line on their next drive. A defensive collapse happens as 4 of the boys ( Rienen, J1M, Lich and Lore Gamer ) rush QB Darius Colosi, similar to last game with Rienen getting the claws in on him bringing him down for a 3rd down...

4boys_rush_QB_TK_swatscene.png

On 3rd down, T.K Viency gets in a confident swat to deny a pass completion to force a 4th down for another Chicago punt.

TK_swat.png

The kick off back to us is booted nicely in the favor of the Blues and goes out of bounds at our 14 yl. Nemesis "The Skull" gets in a run and Vergil "The Vampire" gets us a first down on our 25. Kal makes a toss up center right to Boon Taker but the Chicago player is able to punch the ball out and forces a FUMBLE!

fumble_byboon.png

It's recovered by Chicago...the crowd fires up the noise as it's deep in our zone at the HQ 25 yl as the defensive and offensive lines swap out...

CHI_fumble_recover_highlight.png

Crowd is electric now as that end zone is teasingly in sight for the Blues on a 1st down... They get to our 20, 13, 8 and 2 with the 1st down fresh. QB Darius Colosi finds a receiver just up middle for a quick snag as the crowd erupts for a Blue's touchdown...extra point is good as the Blues take the lead with under 3 mins to go in the 2nd Quarter.

CHI_TD_6_3_scene.png

CHI_scores_7_3.png

The Chicago Blues kick it off back to us after the touchdown with the crowd alive and on their feet as they've taken the lead.

Element "The Watchman" catches this one with 2:24 to go for a HUGE RUN to the Chicago 36 yl to shut the crowd up! Holy ****, he has those legs blurring on that one as the boys gave him some good blocks for a 60 yard return!

Watchman_huge_run.png

Bob Tee refreshes the 1st down to the Chicago 30 but we're held there as Chicago calls a timeout to settle their guys down and we go for a FG on 4th down...

doink_fg_still7_3.png

It's just short and 'Doinks' the bottom bar keeping it at 7-3... FFS. The crowd erupts at this as our massive push up field is squashed quickly within a few minutes...

Getting it back, Chicago makes it to their 30 yl and the 34 as they are held after a huge Brother Michael hit on a runner which causes a stoppage in play as the Chicago player is slow to get up.

brother_michael_bighit.png

Chicago kicks it off back to us with the clock dwindling down and Oyster Sauce gets it to our 21 yl. Kal fakes a toss up right to Fin Arfin and finds Vergil "The Vampire" up left for A ******* MASSIVE RUN AS HE BREAKS SEVERAL TACKLES AND GASSES OUT WITH THE BOYS COVERING HIM FROM BEHIND FOR A TOOOOOOOOUCHDOOOOOOOWN!

vergil_catch_scene.png

Vergil_touchdown_highlight.png

The boys behind him mob him for some appreciation on that run! White Shark nails the FG baby...

HQ_scores_10_7.png

The crowd is turned down at this touchdown as Vergil "The Vampire" and the boys come back to the sideline for some pats and helmet taps as that was a fuckin BEAUTY!

Chicago gets the kick back with 27 secs left to go to their 29 yl... Rienen gets in another 'munch' on the ball runner and the quarter comes to an end on the Chicago 31 yl...

[ 3rd Quarter ]

Chicago comes out after halftime having to kick to us. The kick is deep as Element "The Watchman" gets it to our 16 yl. "The Juice" muscles it up to our 27 yl for a 1st down. We get to our 33 yl on a 4th down and have to punt it off as Chicago holds us firm...

Chicago catches the punt as the crowd livens up a bit and they get it to their 28 yl. They make some slow pushes getting to their 32,35 and a 40 for a 1st down. QB Darius Colosi is rushed yet again with some heavy pressure but he tosses one off in desperation which connects... and they get to our 36 yl...

4rush_Qb_again.png

We are able to hold them and force a FG or 'go for it' play and they opt for a FG for 3 pts...The kick slips in left and it's good for 3 pts making it...

CHI_score_10-10.png

Possessions change a couple times after we get that kick back after the tying FG as neither of us can make anything happen going upfield...

On another one of Chicago's possessions a Blues runner W.Hood is tackled and his helmet comes and it's Roguey "The Stealthy" again. The players lock up once more as a few of them try to get to Roguey but a few of the boys stand in the way as Roguey claims once again it wasn't high or targeted as he stays out of it. The refs issue him a warning even though the replay doesn't show a high hit at head level. Chicago punts it off back to us a few plays later...

CHI_hood_helm_off.png

We can't get anything going as both of us are stalemating for yardage gain now and the chirping starts to become more consistent after that second Roguey 'helm off tackle incident'...
With under 3 minutes to go now in the 3rd quarter Chicago has it going from their 45 to our 32 yl on a multiple paly drive. On the first play after a Chicago 1st down refresh Rienen "The Ursus" suffers an injury on a tackle as the Chicago player got down low and thrusted upwards at Rienen's chest area to 'expect' the hit and counter it...

Rienen_injury_3rd.png

He's helped off field in some pain and back to the locker room to get looked at... Chicago is able to push up to our 14 yl and goes for a FG to cap off the run, which is successful.

CHI_fg_13_10.png

Getting it back after the Chicago FG, Oyster Sauce gets to our 23 yl... Kal's follow up toss is an

INT_3rd.png

at our 25 yl which fires up the crowd and it gets loud as they are close for a late touchdown with under 1 minute to go...Def and Off lines swap out again as there's some frustration expressed from the boys on the sideline...

Chicago is held thankfully denying a touchdown but the pop in another FG on their 4th down after that interception.

CHI_FG_score_16_10.png

with under 10 secs to go, Element "The Watchman" snags the ball after the kick off back to us and he goes down hard...taking an injury...ffs...only minor though, should recover for next game as the quarter comes to an end with the fans roaring...

[ 4th Quarter ]

Coming out for the 4th quarter, the fans cheer as the Blues make their way onto the field with us starting on our 19 yl. We can't make any progress at all and get stuck there, forced to punt it off deep on our zone back to Chicago early. Chicago gets it and makes it over center field to our 49 yl. QB Darius Colosi and his guys are energized still from that last quarter interception and it helps them push up to our 38, and 30 yl before being held to a 4th down. They go for another FG and it's good keeping the crowd noisy as they get 3 more pts early into the quarter...

CHI_FG_scores_19_10.png

We snag it out of the air and get to our 20 yl with Vergil "The Vampire" getting us up to our 25 before having to punt it off back again... On Chicago's next possession they get to center field on the 50 yl with a 1st down on our 40 but are held there until 4th down... They go for another **** FG... this one is thankfully just short as it misses the bottom bar keeping it at 10-19 Chicago.

Possessions exchange yet again a couple times as neither we nor they can get anything of note going.

Most of the quarter is lacking much to report until on one of Chicago's possessions they chug it up field from our 47 yl to our 35, 20 and 7 as a touchdown seems incoming yet again...they are persistent opponents I will give them that...

Lich "The Immortal" gets a swat in on 2nd down to save a Touchdown, followed up by another on 3rd down to force a 4th down by Roguey "The Stealthy"...

lich_swat_in_endzone.png

Roguey_swat_4thdown.png

You know the FG attempt is coming... and it's good this time as the crowd is reignited after the lulls in action for most of the quarter. But... during the FG ball placement and the kicker running at it to kick... a Chicago Blues player takes a nasty injury as Noone Atall comes down hard on him at the scrimmage line and lands on him with most of his weight causing the Blues player to drop to his knees after getting up and trying to walk away and failing to get back to his feet as he motions to his sideline for help as something isn't right. Amongst the FG being successful the crowd and players realize that something serious has happened as Chicago Medical Staff make their way onto the field to see to the Chicago player as he's in some obvious distress. A few of the players exchange some words and face mask 'clinks' but the refs and the Blues player's concern for their fallen team mate take over and the dust up simmers down as RG #65 H. Keo Jr is held up by team mates and carted off to the locker room in the tunnels by Team Staff...

CHI_FG_scores_22_10.png

CHI_injury_lung.png

As the play is stopped and the Chicago Medical Staff is tending to the fallen player the boys make their way over to our sidelines to wait it out. We don't take any knees or show concern for this like the pussies in the NFL do. Noone Atall states to the boys that he tried to '**** someone up for the injury we got earlier'. I tell him to keep that quiet and not out loud for any mics to pick up as the event unfolds for several minutes.

Because the play had concluded with the score made along with the replays not showing anything worth penalizing, nothing is handed out which prompts a chorus of 'boos' from the fans as we get set up to accept the kick back.

Oyster Sauce catches it as the crowd remains ****** off at the 'no call' and he gets to our 27 yl with a following up catch and run by Fin Arfin to the 39 for a 1st dow. Riding the hype from that Noone Atall crushing hit, Maiden Haver makes a nasty run a couple plays later up field for 50 yards with a nicely timed stiff arm on one of the defenders to the CHI 10 yl!

Maidenhaver_bigrun.png

Kal_50_yards_to_maiden.png

Kal finds Bob Tee up middle as he huffs it in for a TOUCHDOWN with under 2 mins to go! White Shark nails the extra point...

Bobtee_td_late_4th.png

HQ_scores_17_22.png

This keeps the crowd 'booing' and nervous but their team can run the clock on plays if done right for their next possession as long as they keep it moving and the clock is allowed to tick down...

White Shark and the kick team get out onto the field along with Chicago's receiving lineup for potentially the last possession of the game...


White Shark drills it up high and Chicago receives it getting to our 35 yl after several plays trying to keep the clock ticking down... QB Darius Colosi makes a toss up right to a receiver BUT IT'S INTERCEPTED BY FUCKIN LORD RUMBLES! ( didn't save a pic of this ffs I'm so sorry )

The boys are reinvigorated as the crowd is hushed down to a nervous state of disbelief...

"The Juice" gets us up field on a nice 18 yard run

Juice_run_1stdown_late_4thq.png

and Bob Tee and Maiden Haver for a 1st down on the CHI 33 yl! Fin Arfin takes a pass and runs it out of bounds to stop the clock on the CHI 25 with 20 secs to go........

Kal makes a pass up right to Maiden Haver on 4th down as we go for it as 3 pts on a FG won't cut it...

maiden_cant_catch_it.png

But it's just out of his grip and he can't keep a hold of it! FUUUUUUUUUCK...


Chicago takes over on that turnover and just runs the clock down with 3 secs left and they take the game

Well ****. Almost made a beauty comeback boys after that Noone Atall injury inducing hit. I think that was the longest/most serious injury I've gotten so far ( 7 weeks ). 5-2. It's not bad at all, the Blues are good and it for sure 'felt' as much playing them. Busy week as usual, seems like it always is I know. Chiseling and cutting concrete this week for some jobs. Messy, dusty fuckin bs and it's a loss as well. On to the next...

It has a 'learning curve', I wouldn't say it's 'steep' for me but that would be the common complaint about it you see on forums and such which I don't bother looking at. It's not easy or 'press button, do a thing' like the NFL games do where everything is more 'hand holdy'. But once you get good at it and get your timing is honed it feels satisfying to complete passes and make good runs and well timed stiff arms and jukes. As a simple 'pickup/arcade' game it wouldn't be for everyone. You'd need to put in some practice hours to really get a proper 'feel' for it. I saw somewhere you liked the Lions, funny because the guy we were doing some contract work for this week is a Lions fan and always has a Lions shirt or sweater on. Good seeing you man thanks for stopping by, have a good weekend.

Glad to see you enjoyed it so far man. When you load up the game it has a default roster but you go down to settings or roster I think and click 'shuffle' roster ( takes all existing players and moves them around randomly ) or 'new roster' which will generates entirely new names and players on teams, I did this a few times and checked the teams to see that there was a few that were randomly high rated for a more challenging experience before starting the LP. Kind of like "Seeds" I guess you could say. Try it when you can if you plan on getting more serious/into it. Good luck to you my man, and may the wind favor your tosses and your boys' grip be solid. : )

[ PRE KICK OFF ]

* Missing in action tonight *:

LT #27 Acrux "The Stalwart" ( Pulled hamstring )

Field conditions/Weather: N/A Indoor game. Night time.

The Star Dome speakers comes to life and music starts as the boys make their way out of our entrance tunnel as the fans get loud for game 8 as this will be the last time they'll see them until after the 'Bye week' break...





The 'spear' formation is a staple now as Kal comes out behind the D line as the stadium is darkened and red, blue and white lights flash around the stadium and in the stands and even an HQ Shitposter 20 foot flag is past on along the seat rows around the stadium lower level. ( who the **** made that thing?? )

QB Morgan Labuda comes out with his team to our 'opposing team entrance tunnel Faithful' lighting him and his guys up with some verbal assault as cameras spot @DagothGeas5 over there near the bottom row of the entrance tunnel practicing her 'F' and 'N' words.

As the player announcements finish and the music dies down, both teams quiet down for the national anthem...





After the national anthem concludes, Kal and Arizona's QB Morgan Labuda make their way to the HQ center field for the coin toss as the crowd watches intently expecting to see another possible coin loss...

Kal arrives to the 50 yl first as he stares down Labuda the whole way. QB Morgan Labuda gets to center and meets Kal's stare as Kal acts first holding his right hand out high at head level in a fist and holds it there for a moment before opening his hand with fingers spread out as if he's 'dropping a bomb'. The crowd lets out a cheer and ups the volume.

QB Morgan Labuda calls: 'Tails'. Coin lands on 'Tails'. ( seriously wtf... )

Arizona Scorpions choose to receive the ball to start the match.

White Shark already has the helmet on expecting the coin toss result and makes his way out with the boys on D to kick off. Lining up and positioning the feet just right, he waits for the ref to signal the go ahead and runs at the ball, booting it up into the air to start game 8...

[ 1st Quarter ]

Following the kick off, the boys make their way down field as the kick is caught and it's a blur of black, purple, white, red and blue to try and get hands on him. He looks for a seam up middle and switches direction going right around the blockade of bodies where Xenich "The Ashen" dives at him and manages to PUNCH THE BALL OUT OF HIS HANDS FOR A FUMBLE!

xenich_pops_it_loose_scene.png

It bounces around as Xenich and the Scorpion player are on their hands and knees swivveling around to get eyes on it as the other players on both sides become aware of what's happened and some bare down on the ball while others try to block and hold up others. It's a mad scramble to close the distance as Xenich and the Scorpion player manage to get themselves to both feet and both 'leap frog' at it with hands outstretched about to grab it....!

AND XENICH RECOVERS IT!

A FUMBLE AND A RECOVERY RIGHT AFTER THE KICK OFF FOR THE HQ! The crowd erupts and the stadium is deafening as the guys on field mob Xenich in congratulations. Kal gets up and comes out early for his shift, he gets the arms around Xenich's helmet and gives it a smack on the back with a "NICE JOB BUDDY" over the noise near his ear as Xenich heads back to the sidelines to more pats and high fives. Quite the start...


At the Arizona 36 yl, Kal finds Vergil "The Vampire" who refreshes the 1st down as he gets to the Arizona 22 with the crowd still roaring.

Kal finds tosses a short one to him again for 4 yards to get to the Arizona 18 and Nemesis "The Skull" chugs his way up just short of the end zone at the Arizona 3 yl!

Crowd is still blasting as the noise seems to be fueling our drive with Bing Lim rushing up to the end zone before going down trying to extend the hands out with the ball to hit the end zone... but it's just inches short and The Shitposters are at the Arizona 0 yl mere minutes into the game. Kalzone "The Bomber" fakes a toss up middle and fires one up right into the end zone where Stacko Turtles easily snags it for a TOUCHDOWN!

White Shark secures the extra point and the HQ takes an early lead under 2 minutes into the match.

With the crowd still roaring, Arizona catches the kick back getting to their 28 yl. The fans cheer and clap mockingly at this as the Scorpion runner was able to hold onto the ball this time. On 2nd down, Arizona's defensive line collapses as their QB Morgan Labuda is rushed by 4 of our boys and he tosses it away to avoid a crushing sack as the crowd roars to life again as Arizona is having quite the bad start to the delight of the crowd.

Lich "The Immortal" gets in a nice hit on a runner causing a loss of 2 yards pushing them back to their 26 yl and the following play swatted down by Lore Gamer to force a punt on 4th down... Before the punt, Arizona calls a timeout, which keeps our crowd noisy as Arizona's coaches try to settle their guys down and to get them to refocus.

lore_swat_4thdown.png

After the timeout, Arizona punts it off back with Oyster Sauce catching it before going down at our 43 yl. Tanner "The Juice" takes the next 2 runs getting to our 46 and 48 as Arizona keeps the big man to minimal gains as they double cover him. Kal Maiden Haver gets in a 22 yard dash to refresh the 1st down as we push up field. We get to the Arizona 21 and Cipher "The Maverick" refreshes the 1st down yet again on the Arizona 12.

kal_to_cipher_1stdown_ari12.png

Crowd can feel another touchdown potentially coming as they haven't quieted down much at all the last few mins. Arizona is able to hold us for 3 downs though... and we opt for a FG to cap off the drive. White Shark nets us an easy 3 as we switch up lines and get ready to kick it back...

HQ_scores_10_0_FG.png

The rest of the quarter slows down as Arizona manages to collect themselves as we exchange possessions a couple times. Nearing the end of the quarter with under 2 mins to go, Arizona is forced to punt it off back to us yet again and Oyster Sauce brings it to the HQ 32 yl. We make a push up field getting to our 44 with Ninety Eight keeping our drive alive with a 1st down. Vergil "The Vampire", Ninety Eight and Fin Arfin take alternating passes as we try to push up field to score a late touchdown to keep the pressure on Arizona going into the 2nd quarter. They get us up to the HQ 48, Arizona 36 and and 32 with under 5 secs to go. Kal makes one last toss over to Fin Arfin and he snags that one as the clock expires and just runs it off out of bounds instead of taking a hit as the quarter comes to an end on the Arizona 25 yl as the Star Dome stays rocking with noise, the guys make their way off field, feeling good and knowing that another possible touchdown might be waiting for them after the 1st quarter break.

[ 2nd Quarter ]

Both teams come out after the quarter, some of the Scorpion players looking stern or perhaps dejected as their Defensive line gets back out to their 25 yl, as Kal and our guys appear energized and hungry for another quick one as our Offensive line gets in position with Kal smacking his hands together and looking animated trying to hype them up for more than just settling for a FG. Kal makes a quick toss after the snap to Vergil "The Vampire" for a 5 yard gain to the Arizona 20 yl and we're held for a play... fans are buzzing early again and Kal finds Fin Arfin lurking slow off to the left before bursting into proper position as he reaches out and gets the mitts on the ball FOR A TOUCHDOWN! White Shark aces the extra point as we get another early one to start the 2nd quarter!

Arizona gets the kick back getting to their 20 yl. This is followed up by a nasty run as the Scorpion player finds a seam up through middle and a nice juke and a hurdle to get all the way to our 32 yl...****.

ARI_big_run.png

Rand "The Shade" makes a nice tackle to squash a bit of the momentum on the next play pushing Arizona back to our 36 yl. Arizona responds with a 1st down to our 22 yl but are held the following 3 plays until 4th down to our 21 yl. They go for a FG to try and get something for the effort and it's good as we prepare to accept the kick back down field...

ARI_FG_score_17_3.png

It's a back and forth possession exchanges for most of the quarter after this with multiple punts back... some notable things takes place though with an injury to Lord Rumbles after taking down a pass receiver but he stays in and on our following possession Gerey "The Fürher" causes an injury to a Scorpion player at the scrimmage line lock up to protect Kal from rushers...

ARI_injury_2q.png

This back and forth of 'get nowhere' persists unfortunately boys as not much can be reported until the final minute of the 2nd quarter with Arizona on our 49 yl. They push their way closer to our end zone yet again getting top our 35 yl, 30 and a 1st down refresh on the 25... We hold them there preventing a touchdown... but they pop up another FG for 3 pts.. making it 17-6...

Quarter comes to an end with Element "The Watchman" getting the kick back to our 20 yl as we head off field for half time...

[ 3rd Quarter ]

Arizona kicks to us to start the 3rd quarter with Element "The Watchman" getting to our 18 yl. We push up to the 35 and 40 before having to punt it off...

They in turn can't get anything going and send it back... Oyster Sauce catches this one and is heading down field on a beauty run but the ball is knocked loose of his grip after an Arizona player dives at him to bring him down for a FUMBLE!

Oyster_fumble_3q.png

But thankfully Roguey "The Stealthy" is nearby and is able to react quickly diving onto the ball and smothering it for a recovery on our 42 yl!

The crowd is relieved at this as they up the noise as the boys give Roguey "The Stealthy" some pats for that quick recovery as Kal lets Oyster Sauce know that "it's gonna happen at some point don't worry about it, we're okay brother."

We have to punt it off away though on 4th down as Arizona holds us there but at least it wasn't a turnover...

Possessions change a few times again with a notable moment where Arizona is at our 39 yl and goes for a FG for 3 pts...

ARI_FG_short.png

But it's short and it stays 17-6 as we take over on our 39 yl. Maiden Haver makes a nice catch up mid for a nasty 1st down to the Arizona 38...!

Maiden_nice_catch_highlight.png

...with Bing Lim refreshing the 1st down yet again to the Arizona 26 yl. Vergil "The Vampire" gets us to the Arizona 17 and Fin Arfin a first down to the Arizona 8 as the crowd is lively yet again as the boys keep the pressure on with another touchdown looming!

Kalzone "The Bomber" feeds Nemesis "The Skull" a perfect pass as he runs it up right side FOR A TOUCHDOWN!

Nemesis "The Skull" spikes the ball into the ground and flexes the 'guns' up high to the crowd beyond the end zone in celebration. White Shark finds the goal post gap just fine for the extra point to end the drive.

HQ_scores_24_6.png

With 2:01 to go in the 3rd Quarter, we kick it off back to the Scorpions as their receiver goes down at the Arizona 26 with a follow up play to the 37, 44 and another NASTY run to our 17 yl as they're not giving up yet...

ARI_big_run_HQ17.png

With 50 secs left in the 3rd quarter, Xenich "The Ashen" makes a swat at our 12 yl for a 2nd down and Roguey "The Stealthy" saving a probable touchdown run on 3rd down with a clutch tackle to force a 4th down as time expires in the 3rd quarter...

[ 4th Quarter ]

Arizona resumes their possession on a 4th down for the 4th quarter as they contemplate a FG but they line up to go for it... QB Morgan Labuda connects with one of his receivers as he hustles in far right side for a TD to start the 4th quarter...

ARI_4th_td.png

ARI_TD_highlight.png

They opt for a 2pt extra instead of a kick for 1pt but it fails!... as a few hands go up and someone gets a touch on the ball just enough to mess with the trajectory keeping it at only a 6 pt gain for 24-12...

Possessions exchange 2 times each with neither of us able to quiet or rouse the crowd much... with some notable highlights such as Brother Michael getting in a sack on QB Morgan Labuda...and Fin Arfin making a catch with the ball landing in his grasp awkwardly causing a minor injury to him...

...and Ghost Cow making a crushing hit on a Scorpion runner causing an extended recovery as the Arizona player 'felt' that one a little extra...

Highlights are uneventful for the most part until... on one of our possessions after a punt, Oyster Sauce gets us to the HQ 49 yl... Nemesis "The Skull" gets in a small gain to the Arizona 47... and Kal finds an unlikely recipient, Element "The Watchman"! As he chugs it in just up right of middle as he turns on the after burners with a couple Scorpion players in hot pursuit FOR A TOUCHDOOOOWN!

White Shark secures the extra point as we prepare to send it back...

HQ_scores_31_12.png

Arizona can't make anything happen on their next possession after the kick back as the game seems all but over as they kick it back after a few plays... We exchange possessions once more each as the quarter is coming to an end. Arizona gets to our 45 yl and 37 on a 4th down...They go for it to refresh the 1st down and make it to our 24 yl with 1:40 to go. They refresh the 1st down on our 18 and 10, finally getting one in for a late Arizona Touchdown with the extra point good to make it 31-19 HQ.

Getting it back after the kick, Oyster Sauce catches it and huffs it up to the HQ 35. We push up field trying to maybe get in another one as it's down to the last minute of the 4th... We manage to get past the 50 yl line and with the clock expiring just after the snap, Kal tosses a long one to Vergil "The Vampire" who gets all the way to the Arizona 6 yl!...

...but he's hauled down just shy of getting a late final TD as the HQ Shitposters take Game 8 and enjoy a week off with an impressive 6-2 start of Season 1.

Atlanta Beasts

Game_9_Atl_vs_HQ.png

[ Pre Game Report ]

-Atlanta Beasts are 3-5 to start the season. They also had a 'Bye week' break and did not play this week along with us.
-QB Derick Kulas ( Age: 28, 5 years experience, 4 years left on contract, Skill: 91 ) is slotted to start for Atlanta.
-Atlanta is 5th in the league for Rushing Yards with: 1354
-Despite their stats, they have been having coordination and morale issues regarding contract and personal off field events. This works just fine for us.
-The boys got some good rest this week and received a morale boost from Acrux "The Stalwart" ( Pulled Hamstring ) recovering from his injury, so we went up a 'block' for offense, we are happy to see him back.

[Classix]

@Nemesis

You asked about stat tables/progress awhile ago. High morale and wins add to skill rating and various things. So just for you since the team is doing good and morale is high I'll post this for you, +5 to skill from us doing 'good'. No facilities for stats yet but after another game or 2 I'll be able to build something else ( $ 300 + ). Most of the boys get bonuses to Skill and Stamina as they are 'feeling good' with the wins and great plays made. You've been chugging some nasty runs my man with @Tangy. I wanted to post this for you on my writeups for a few games with your runs but I always procrastinate on when to post it. But this comes to mind when you make a nice run up field.

You asked about stat tables/progress awhile ago.

I asked for a table of every player's stats this season, e.g., touchdowns, tackles, yards, etc. That way, it's easier to see how your character is doing.

As bad as they are, I need to watch the Resi films again cos they're great.

I see, I know there's a 'table/chart' creation feature on here I'll just have to figure it out when I get some time then and keep it on the main page in a section and try to keep it updated after the games.

[ PRE KICK OFF ]

* Returning to Lineup *:

LT #27 Acrux "The Stalwart" ( Pulled hamstring )

* Recovered during Bye Week *

FS #24 Lord Rumbles ( Bruised Knee )

WR #54 Fin Arfin ( Dislocated Finger )

Field conditions/Weather: N/A Indoor game. Night time.

Lights dim in The Star Dome as music starts with Red, White and Blue glows in the stadium stands as the RPGHQ Shitposters get set to make their entrance out onto the field for game 9 of Season 1...





QB Derick Kulas comes out leading his team after the Shitposters have been announced over the speakers and they make their way to their sidelines as the music fades out ( 2:11 ). After the player announcements finish and the music dies down, both teams remove any worn helmets as the national anthem is prepared to start...





With the national anthem finishing, QB Derick Kulas and Kalzone "The Bomber" make their way to the 50 yard line for the coin toss as Atlanta is set to call it.
Kal remains quiet this time and motions with a hand out with his feet together in a 'gentlemanly' manner as if to say "anything you'd like to say sir? Shall you go first?" The crowd's volume rises a bit at the gesture.

QB Derick Kulas with hands on hips states: "You don't intimidate me with these charades."

Kal responds with: "My boys will."

QB Derick Kulas diverts his gaze over to the ref and calls: 'Tails'. Coin lands on 'Heads'.

RPGHQ Shitposters choose to receive the ball to start the match.

White Shark has a laugh with a few of the boys on the sideline as he almost goes to put the helmet on expecting the coin toss to go Atlanta's way. Our receiving line gets out onto the field as the Atlanta kicking lineup sets up down field. The Ref signals the 'all good' and the Beasts kicker hammers one high and direct down center with Element "The Watchman" eyeing it as it closes the distance to his hands to start game 9...
