Lights in the Star Dome suddenly turn off... as the entrance music starts for the HQ Shitposters with only red lights pulsing on and off slow as red lights illuminate the HQ entrance tunnel as the 'spear' makes it's way out onto the field...

Crowd erupts even louder as Kalzone "The Bomber" is spotted in his usual spot behind the 'spear head' flanked by Manny von Carstein and Vergil "The Vampire" as this special entrance gets the place rocking early, showing the trio's return some love. @DagothGeas5 , donning red and black 'war-paint' in streaks coming down from the eyes is at the entrance tunnel to cheer the boys on as they come out, as a high above overhead flood light bathes the 'spear' in a red glow as they walk out onto the field and over to our sideline.

QB Javale Wotton and the San Francisco Miners make their way out a couple mins later to a serenade of boo's from the Star Dome fans. The lights return to normal as the national anthem is announced over the speakers to be played, with players and fans removing head gear and standing at attention.




to 1:58. Still standing for these.


Following the anthem, QB Javale Wotton and Kalzone "The Bomber" make their way to center field for the coin toss.

QB Javale Wotton waits for Kal for a moment to see if he'll start with something... with a silent stare only, Wotton speaks first.

Wotton: "Nothing to say on your glorious entrance and return?"

Cameras on Kal's face catch him grin, revealing a custom clear mouthguard with fangs on it as the crowd erupts in a mixture of loud cheers and laughter.

Wotton just chuckles and shakes his head as he looks at the ref to make the coin toss call.

QB Javale Wotton calls: 'Heads'.... Coin lands on... 'Heads'.

San Francisco choose to receive the ball to start the match.

Kalzone "The Bomber" makes his way back to our sidelines popping the custom mouth guard out and getting his normal one with the boys laughing as Manny von Carstein and Vergil "The Vampire" tap him on the shoulder exchanging some words with 'smirked mouths' as no one knew he was going to have the custom mouth guard made for the centerfield stand off for his return.

White Shark gets out onto the field with the kickoff lineup and positions themselves accordingly as the ref chirps the whistle with White Shark running in to drill the ball up into the air to start game 13 as eyes find targets and legs start blurring...

[ 1st Quarter ]

The Miners kick returner snags the ball into the arm pocket and makes it to the SF 35. The next play is a narrow miss for a 1st down as it's just ahead of the SF receiver. The follow up toss is caught up right by a SF receiver but it's knocked loose for a FUMBLE, with Xenich "The Ashen" recovering it and getting to the SF 24!

The crowd erupts at the recovery and seeing Kal strap the helmet on as he's coming out early after his 2 game absence to see if he can capitalize on the sudden turnover.

Kal finds Vergil "The Vampire" for a 1st down to the SF 10 for his first catch from his return and first toss from "The Bomber"!

The Star Dome is rocking early as the noise is deafening with Kal shouting out the next play as he prepares to take the snap...

Kal makes a toss off to Vergil "The Vampire" just up right as he SECURES IT FOR A TOUCHDOOOOOOOWN!

Vergil "The Vampire" has a low slap of the hands with Kal after the TD with Kal letting out a "WOOO!" motioning his head back and the crowd let's a collective "WOOO!" off of their own as White Shark gets out to get the extra point.

HQ_scores_7_0.png

He nails it as lines swap out to send it back with HQ getting on the board early after some San Francisco 'butter fingers'...


Getting the kick back San Francisco makes it to their 28 yl. They refresh the 1st down with a toss and run to their 42 yl and ANOTHER 1st down at the HQ 46 as they are trying to make up for that early blunder showing some early discipline... Lord Rumbles makes a stop on the next play but The Miners refresh the 1st down again to the HQ 27... They get another 1st down again to the HQ 14 with Manny von Carstein ending the play with a low shoulder crushing hit on the SF runner who is slow to get up after that one as Manny von Carstein collided with him square on... a few players close in for a possible altercation but Manny gets to his feet and walks back to the scrimmage line with no exchange... he'd rather have that QB sack...

manny_tackle_1q.png

San Francisco stays focused and gets to the HQ 6 with Lord Rumbles making another possible touchdown run stop as he levels the Miner runner.

Lord_Rumbles_tackle_HQ_6.png

Xenich "The Ashen" gets hands on the next toss which makes it into the HQ end zone as it's bobbled with the SF receiver getting hands on it but Xenich takes him down which knocks the ball loose immediately for an incomplete pass, saving a San Fran touchdown and forcing a 4th down...

takes place at the HQ 22 as San Francisco got had some eyes on that one as the crowd shifts to 'unease'. The Miners push up to our 15 yl with a 1st down on our 2. They are able to get it into our end zone for a touchdown with the extra 'good' making it 10-7 San Francisco as they quiet the crowd a bit after that surge...

SF_scores_10_7.png

Element "The Watchman" catches the kickback making it to our 24 yl with 2:03 to go in the 1st. "The Juice" gets another run in to our 30 yl but The Miners hold us as we have to punt it off on 4th down...

San Francisco makes it to their 44 yl with a 1st down on the HQ 37, with a follow up to our 30 and another 1st down on our HQ 12 ffs... They push to our 8 yl and get one in with the extra point good for

[ 2nd Quarter ]

We make our way out onto the field after the 1st quarter to the crowd cheering as we're in prime distance for a scoreboard change...

Kal feeling the energy in the stadium clenches the fists and relays the play to the boys to start the quarter off, telling them it's only early and that it's far from over yet with a "LET'S GO BOYS!"

The crowd sees this and ups the volume at the display as Kal roars the play and takes the snap back...The HQ D by him some nice time to find a target and he tosses one out to "THE JUICE" WHO CATCHES IT AND DOZERS HIS WAY INTO THE END ZONE FOR A TOUCHDOOOOWN!

Juice_TD_2q.png

Crowd erupts as "The Juice" puts up the right bicep for a flex and pointing at Kal as he moves back to him for a fist bump and a quick embrace with back pats as the big man is finally found after 'too long' for a touchdown.

HQ_scores_14_17.png

White Shark gets the crowd up a notch again with the extra point as we swap out to send it back...

San Francisco gets to their 25 yl and 34 with a 1st down refresh to their 41. The boys hold them to minimal gains though to their 42 and 40 before they have to send it back with Arcane Lurker forcing the 4th down punt with a nice take down.

Oyster Sauce snags the punt getting to our 16 yl with Kal finding Fin Arfin for a 1st down to our 31 yl as he evades a Miner's outstretched arm for a stop.

FIn_1stdown_HQ_31.png

Kal finds Fin Arfin yet again for a nasty run to the SF 47.

Fin_1stdown_again_SF47.png

Ninety Eight can't get hands on the next one as we're stalled for a couple plays with Vergil "The Vampire" getting to our 45 yl before we have to punt it off again as we can't make it further...

San Francisco gets to their 23 yl with Lord Rumbles making the take down...but... he goes down badly onto the shoulder taking an injury. He's been having a great game so far and this is just some bs to squash his day...ffs

Rumbles_injury_2q.png

San Francisco pushes up to their 33 yl with a 1st down on their 36. They get to their 40 on 4th down as Spell Sword stops a possible 1st down refresh forcing a punt...

Spellsword_forces_4thdown.png

The San Francisco punt bounces out of bounds at our 21 yl. We push up to our 26 and a 3rd down run is made by Cipher "The Maverick" but it's measured to see if it's a 1st down...

Cipher_1stdown_measurement.png

... it's denied and we punt it off back with little happening on that possession.

The Miners get to their 29 yl and 34 with a 1st down refresh at our 38 yl. They squeak out to the HQ 21 and 19 calling a Timeout to stop the clock. After the timeout they make another go to our 5 yl with Red Seven getting the tackle to stop the runner from making it into our end zone to force a 4th down FG attempt by the Miners with under 25 secs to go in the 2nd, to end their drive.

SF_scores_FG_20_14.png

The 3 pts is good as they prepare to send it back. They're keeping the crowd anxious still so far.

They have to kick it off to use for the 3rd anyway but Element "The Watchman" decides to try to make a go up field anyway but he can't get the blocks he needs to find a lane and goes down at our 23 yl as the quarter comes to an end.

San Francisco Miners

[ 3rd Quarter ]

The morale is still good despite still trailing at the halfway point of the game as having Kalzone "The Bomber", Manny von Carstein and Vergil "The Vampire" back has got the guys remaining disciplined to get the win for them and focused on staying away from penalties and after play 'scraps', for now at least.

The Miner's boot it off to start the 3rd quarter with Element getting to our 25 yl and Nemesis "The Skull" to our 29 as he finds a seam up the middle. Kal finds Oyster Sauce for an unlikely recipient getting to our 36 yl for a 1st down. ( We don't like to feed him many tosses as we can't have him getting injured as our punt returner with any extra hits coming his way, but he wanted to get one in for the boys returning, and he does getting the 1st down too )

Oyster_1stdown_3q.png

We can only get to our 38 yl though before having to punt it off as the Miner's are putting in some fight that should have been there earlier in the season to keep them from being out of the playoffs and out of a negative record... feels like teams are trying to put in everything they can to stop us from making the playoffs at all or just to blemish the record for our first season with all the shenanigans we've had on display so far... *cough* Kal... *cough*

San Francisco snags it out of the air after another Wndrbr Boots kick with cameras seemingly catching him grumbling and complaining to himself, as they make it to their 39 yl. They make a couple plays keeping the 1st downs barely refreshed as they get to our 22 yl and 17 ffs... Frustrations kept in check as the boys want to hammer someone with all these 1st downs they are letting through. San Francisco is held at our 16 yl though as our Safeties stop end zone passes from making it in. The go for a FG again to end their drive...

SF_scores_FG_23-14.png

... Element "The Watchman" chugs another kick return to our 22 with Ninety Eight and Vergil "The Vampire" getting us up to our 29 and to the SF 47.

Vergil_1stdown_SF_47.png

Bing Lim gets in a juking run to the SF 40 as Vergil "The Vampire" gets in another run on 3rd down that's measured once more...

It's denied yet again as it's 4th down... Kal considers punting it off again for a few seconds as the play clock starts...Seeing the frustration on his face, "The Juice" suggests we go for it and to give it to him. Kal makes the motion to me, asking if we can go for it... I nod as Kal slyly low 'fist bumps' "The Juice", letting me know who's getting it... Crowd gets louder at this as a punt would just be safer... but it excites them none the less...

Kal barks the play out a couple times, taking the snap back and making a fake hand off to Stacko Turtles and drifting left as he looks over at Fin Arfin far right but pivots and tosses it to "The Juice" far left. "The Juice" catches it and tucks it in tight as he let's out a yell "aaaAAAAHHHH!" barely being dragged down at the SF 27 for a 1st down!

Juice_1stdown_3q.png

Crowd ignites as we have a fresh set of downs now, with the boys on the sideline making 'squishing' motions with their hands in celebration.
Fin Arfin gets another 1st down to the SF 15 as the crowd can feel 'one' coming!

Fin_1stdown_SF15.png

Kal has to bark out the play again over the noise as a couple of our boys shift positions with the snap going back to Kal as he looks around left again to find "The Juice" for another but he fakes again and finds Fin Arfin up center right as he gets the hands on it RUNNING IT IN WITH 2 SAN FRANCISCO MINERS ON HIS TAIL, UNABLE TO GET TO HIM FOR A TOUCHDOOOOWN!

White Shark nails the extra as we're closing in again with 2:49 left to go in the 3rd.

HQ_scores_21_23.png

San Francisco gets to their 25 yl with Ultra Fan getting in a tackle stopping the 1st down refresh at the SF 38. They can only push up to our 41 before having to send it off back as the boys on D are riding the hype and hold them.

Oyster Sauce snatches it and goes down on our 19 yl with Fin Arfin getting in a 1st down to our 32 and Vergil "The Vampire" another big 1st down to the SF 43 as we seem to have caught the momentum train as the crowd roars in appreciation!

Ninety Eight keeps the volume up with another 1st down to the SF 22 shortly after with 58 secs to go in the 3rd.

Kal finds Vergil "The Vampire" again to the SF 14 with "The Juice" getting in another angry chug to the SF 7. He demands it again as he gets to the SF 4 yl as the clock expires to end the 3rd with us starting on the SF 4 yl for 4th quarter as the crowd cheers hoping for another opening touchdown as the 3rd ends...

[ 4th Quarter ]

Crowd is noisy as we get set up at the SF 4 yl with a touchdown in sight. Kal goes over a couple plays in a huddle as the boys split apart and take their spots on the field. Kal gets the snap back and finds "The Juice" ALL ALONE UP MID AS HE TURNS THE JETS ON TO GET IN THE SPOT HE NEEDS TO BE AND SNAGS IT FOR A TOUCHDOWN BABY!

"The Juice" puts the ball at the bicep to hold it there as he flexes out at the crowd as the guys mob him for some taps. Big Man is digging in tonight!
White Shark aces the extra as HQ takes the lead early in the 4th.


27-23


San Francisco can only make it to their 32 yl and 39 before being held for a 4th down and a punt as the crowd stays loud as Kal comes out early after that 'go-nowhere' possession.

Oyster Sauce cradles it in getting to our 37 yl shrugging off his first tackler before going down to the 2nd.

Oyster_nice_run_HQ_37.png

Maiden Haver gets in a nasty catch and run ALL THE WAY TO THE SF 39! AS THE STADIUM IS DEAFENING AT THE SIGHT OF THIS COMEBACK SURGE!

Maiden_1stdown_4q.png

Kal keeps the plays going as he finds Vergil "The Vampire" for another 1st down to the San Francisco 25! Vergil holds the ball up to his face guard and makes a motion as if to 'bite it' before tosses it aside which gets the crowd even louder as he looks back to Kal with a finger pointing at him and his other hand making a 'give me more' motion as we line up again for another fresh set of downs with the stadium on their feet.

Vergil_1stdown_catch_4q.png

Kal has to yell even louder this time as the place is rocking and it's next to impossible to hear anything he's saying. He repeats the play several times before calling for the snap... The D buys him a good amount of time as he looks around at the targets but you know who he's going for... the toss is a beauty spiral up far right to VERGIL "THE VAMPIRE" AS HE DIVES INTO THE END ZONE FOR A TOUCHDOOOOOOOOOOWN!

Kal 'throws a punch' forward in celebration as the boys mob Vergil for some taps in celebration. White Shark drives that leather ****** up through the posts to secure the extra point with lines swapping out as we get ready to send it back.

Sn Francisco gets the kick back to their 23 yl with Lore Gamer getting in a swat a few plays later to hold them at their 30yl for a punt as the crowd stays noisy! Boys holding them to nothing!

Oyster Sauce receives the kick back and gets to our 26 yl with "The Juice" getting a 1st down to our 39 yl. Bing Lim gets us up to our 44 and again for a 1st down at the SF 49 yl!

Bing_1stdown_SF49_4q.png

Fin Arfin gets us to our 42 but we have to send it back by punt. The Wndrbr Boots kick is just right as it bounces out of bounds deep at the SF 9 yl. The Miners 1st down it though on the next play to their 20 yl with Manny von Carstein getting in another tackle to stop the play at the SF 34. Arcane Lurker drops another one at the SF 40 and at the 41 they have to punt it off back as we deny them the 50 yl line 'break' yet again with 2:58 left to go.

Manny_tackle_4q.png

Oyster Sauce snags it and goes down at the HQ 12 on a deep kick with Fin Arfin refreshing the 1st down at our 28. Ninety Eight suffers an injury though on the following play going down on his shoulder awkwardly but thankfully it's only minor...

1998_injury_4q.png

We get rid of it on 4th down and San Francisco makes it to their 39 yl with Opium Den getting the tackle but they refresh the 1st down to our 45, breaking center field finally but being 'walled' at our 40 for 4th down....they decide to 'go for it' anyway to try and get something going but Roguey "The Stealthy" makes the swat forcing the Turnover with 1:07 left to go in the 4th as we take over on our 40 yl as the crowd and the guys on the sideline celebrate as it's all but over.

This was another fun game to play. After that nice intro I was worried after that 2nd quarter we'd get rolled. I could come up with something 'story-wise' why we struggle sometimes to lower ranked teams but it's just me being busy with work and bs ******* up my focus/gameplay. Property I'm living at now I've put up for sale, so moving anytime somewhere else in the next few months hopefully if it sells before Spring time, so that's weighing on me. We pulled it off though. 3 more to go for playoffs. Talk to you soon boys.

Tanner "The Juice": "If there wasn't no fight, there wasn't no weekend. And trust me, we had a GREAT weekend! We showed the Miners how to clean up, now maybe they can take what we taught them and finally do some community service."

Reporter: "Community service? What do you mean by that?"

Nice post @"The Juice" thanks buddy. I was wondering too why the team is called 'Miners'. Not sure if Dev just wanted something similar to forty NINERS or it has something to do with 'Gold Rush' or some mineral reference associated with San Fran.

-Indianapolis is 8-5 this season and coming off of an away, beat-down loss: 9-48 to the Tampa Bay Corsairs as they are reporting multiple players with "flu like" symptoms as a 'bug' seems to have hit the team.

-Unclear as of this time who will be starting QB as both:
-QB #8 Lew Fite ( Age:27, 2 Years Experience, 3 years left on contract )
and
-QB #19 Wilfred Mccleskey ( Age:28, 7 Years Experience, 4 years left on contract ) are fighting off the 'bug'...
-This will be our final Home Game of the season.
-The boys have a morale boost knowing the Racers are dealing with some 'sickness' upping our stats.
-They have no injuries to report.
-Kick off is set for Monday December 15th.

The RPGHQ Shitposters would like to wish one of our Halfbacks # 22 @Vergil "The Vampire" A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Battling some injuries this season, he's been a running machine with his explosive speed leaving chasers in the dust. He's been a powerhouse and absolute nuisance for opposing teams this year.

We're hoping to keep him healthy and HUNGRY for more receptions

* Returning to Lineup *:

HB #59 Boon Taker ( Sprained Wrist )


* Recovered from last game *:

WR #98 Ninety Eight ( Hyperextended Shoulder )


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


The Star Dome crowd is warming up inside the stadium some still donning cold weather gear, others with it removed as it's a cold one outside tonight. Stadium lights fade as winter hat 'pom-poms' of red white and blue flash around the arena amongst other novelties as the fans get loud as the music starts with the boys coming out for their final Home game of the regular season.





Indianpolis makes their way out after a couple minutes to only some jeers from the fans as most are more concerned for cheering on the boys being the last time they will see them until playoff time. A win here tonight along with several 'desireable' losses from some key teams may ensure we get in... Indianapolis does look focused and ready to go but a trained eye can spot the fatigue and ailing weeriness of some of the players as both teams settle in for the national anthem.





Following the anthem, I mention a few 'weaker' looking players to the boys and give Kal a smack on the back of the 'numbers' as he makes his way to the 50 yard line for the coin toss as Indianapolis is going with QB Lew Fite tonight, with him making his way to the centerfield HQ logo as well.

Kal eyes him up and glaces over at the Racer sideline.

QB Kalzone "The Bomber": "Division's looking tight Lewwy... my boys can smell the DayQuil from across the field..."

QB Lew Fite: "heh...Been waiting to meet you and your misfits all year, unfortunate circumstances today though."

QB Kalzone "The Bomber": "Mmm hmm. Season on the line, put up a "Fite" at least". As Kal 'air quotes' that line with Lew's last name the focus.

QB Lew Fite: *nods* "Of course..."

Ref: "Lew, the call please."

QB Lew Fite calls 'tails... coins lands on... 'tails'.

Indianapolis Racers choose to receive the ball to start the game.

Kal makes his way back to the sidelines as White Shark and the kick off line make their way out and into position onto the field at our end. White Shark looks down the line right and left with a nod and clapping his hands together twice with a "Here we go boys!" as the ref whistles the go ahead as he runs in and boots it up high to start game 14 in the Star Dome...

The Racer receiver snags the White Shark kick out of the air and gets in some nice jukes making it to their 33 yl. They can only get to their 36 before having to punt it back off as the crowd roars at the opening 'HQ Wall' the boys put up, getting Kal out there early. Oyster Sauce makes an even nicer juking run in return as he makes it to our 45 yl before going down. Kal finds Bing Lim who gets to the IND 49 and a follow up bullet to Bob Tee for a 1st down refresh at the IND 35.

BobT_1stdown_1q.png

Bing Lim is able to get us to the 33 but we too have to send it off as we got stalled in similar fashion...

Wndrbr Boots' kick is a deep one as the Racer punt returner can only get to their 18 yl. On the following play Manny von Carstein had his target locked on perfect as he brings him down with a nasty square on hit which causes the Indianapolis Fullback to take a little extra time to get to his feet as a few words are exchanged amongst the guys on both sides.

Manny_tackle_bighit_1q.png

The following play, QB Lew Fite feeds a hand off to one of his Halfbacks as Manny von Carstein slips off his defender and barrels down on the Halfback carrying the ball and drilling him to the ground for another big hit dislodging the helmet!

Manny_knocks_helmoff_1q.png

This causes some 'close encounters' with our guys shoving them away with some of the guys telling the Racer aggressors to "Stay the **** outta my face sicky" and the like as they keep their distance. Manny von Carstein just stands face to face with a Racer player as the Racer shoves off of him a few times but Manny just recloses the distance and stands there grinning back. The Racer player exclaiming: "Yeah I bet you aren't affected by anything we have are you? You f*ckin freak." Manny just holds the grin as the players separate and return to their sides of the scrimmage line, Manny having a laugh as he goes back to the guys as Indianapolis gets set up for another play. They refresh their 1st down to their 33 yl the next play with a toss up mid and go to follow it up with another up middle right but an

Takes place as BREATH "THE UNDYING" STEALS THAT ONE OUT OF THE AIR AT THE IND 35!

Breath_INT_highlight_1q.png

Crowd is buzzing as we're nicely inside the IND 50 yl as Kal gets the lid on and comes back out giving Breath "The Undying" a quick over the shoulder smack on the back and clinks the helmets together as Breath heads back to our sideline for some more appreciation from the boys.

Kal finds Vergil "The Vampire" for a quick 1st down to the IND 20 yl and Bing Lim to the 17. Vergil "The Vampire" gets in another quick hand-off run to the IND 14.

Vergil_1stdown_1q.png

Kal gets the snap back and tosses one up mid to Maiden Haver who snags it and RUNS IT UP JUST RIGHT AROUND 2 DEFENDERS INTO THE END ZONE FOR A TOUCHDOWN!

Maiden_TD_1q_scene.png

@maidenhaver , told you I'd get one for you buddy.


White Shark nails the extra point as Maiden Haver gets us on the board first as we prepare to send it back with the crowd celebrating.

HQ_scores_maiden_7_0_1q.png

Indianapolis gets the kick back making it to their 27 yl. They can't coordinate their passing plays well the following couple attempts as QB Lew Fite 'sick status' is showing as they can't make it past their 22 yl before having to send it back to us much to the crowd's pleasure...

Lew_sick_its_showing_1q.png

Oyster Sauce gets the kick back to our 45 yl with Vergil "The Vampire" getting another short one in to our 48. The D buys Kal a good amount of time as he looks left and right, firing one to Cipher "The Maverick" WHO CHUGS IT DOWN FIELD WITH SEVERAL RACERS ON HIS TAIL, MAKING IT INTO THE END ZONE FOR ANOTHER TOUCHDOOOOWN!

Cipher_catch_scene_1q.png

Cipher_TD_1q_highlight.png

Crowd is electric as Cipher "The Maverick" looks back to Kal down field with a 'salute' and a pointed finger with Kal returning the gesture. White Shark puts the extra point through the posts as we swap out lines with Indianapolis getting their guys in together for some quick words on the sideline from their Coach before getting their receiving line out.

HQ_scores_14_0.png

Indianapolis gets the kick back making it to their 24 yl and another to their 33 as it's measured... No 1st down refresh. They do get it on the next one though as they break center field to our 47 yl with States Man getting the play ending tackle. Red Seven gets in another play stopping tackle at our 44 yl with a brief altercation where he shoves off of the Racer player complaining about him 'breathing on him'. Indianapolis gets in 4 more yards to our 30 with Rand "The Shade" stopping that one.

Rand_tackle_1q.png

The boys hold the Racers to 4th down on our 26 yl as they get get their kicker out for a field goal attempt to end the drive.

IND_scores_FG_1q_3_14.png

The kick is good as Element "The Watchman" gets the kick back making it to our 30 yl with 1:34 secs to go in the 1st Quarter. Maiden Haver gets in another catch-and-run to our 38 yl with him spouting off some bs to the Racers after going down with Fin Arfin breaking the centerfield 50 yl getting to the IND 46 on the following play.

Kal_to_fin_1q_1stdown_IND46.png

Indianapolis digs in though and hold us there for 4th down as we have to punt it off. It goes out of bounds nicely on a slightly wide right kick, deep to their 4 yl. Roguey "The Stealthy" makes a tackle for a 2 yard loss pushing Indianapolis back to their 2 yl as the fans are loud again. Indianapolis has an extended huddle chat with the clock ticking down as they line up. They get in a nasty up the sideline run to our 33 yl as the quarter comes to an end...****...

IND_nasty_run_end_1q.png

The boys have been reporting to me and the rest of the guys on the sideline about a lot of sniffing and throat clearing going on from the Racers in between plays as we break and have a rest before the 2nd quarter...

[ 2nd Quarter ]

Indianapolis starts the quarter off on our 33 yl getting to our 32 and 29 on 4th down as the boys hold them from a touchdown again for now... their end of drive FG is good as we swap lines out to receive the ball back...

IND_scores_FG_6_14.png

Element "The Watchman" cradles the ball on after the kick back getting to our 27 yl. Kal finds Oyster Sauce on a hand off as he muscles one up to our 40 yl for a 1st down before going down. He looks a bit off or slow getting up... something...but gets back into the huddle on our side looking okay though. Rough fall probably.

Oyster_1stdown_HQ40_feelingsickmaybe.png

Ninety Eights gets us to the HQ 49 but as he's struck the ball comes loose...! It's a scramble for it as hands finally find it before the whistle goes off...

IND_causes_TURNOVER_2q.png

The Racers come up with it on our 40 yl... Ninety Eight feels ****** about it, cursing to himself but that's just how it is, just have to deal with it as Kal and the boys tap him up to console him... as we swap out lines with Indianapolis taking over at our 40 yl. Roguey "The Stealthy" gets in another swat to stop a pass but Indianapolis makes it to our 38 and 29 for a 1st down. Brother Michael gets in a nice tackle for a 2 yard loss pushing the Racers back to our 30 but they persist and refresh the 1st down to our 17 yl.

Roguey_stop_2q_after_turnover.png

The Racers show some fight yet again as they get to our 10 yl with Spell Sword getting in a stop for another 2 yard loss, pushing them back to our 12 yl but they refresh the 1st down again ffs to our 5 and 3. QB Lew Fite is able to get one of his guys in finally on a running play as his guys keep the runner standing as the push him over the end zone line for a touchdown... They go for a 2pt conversion on it which again is muscled in as Indianapolis ties it up with under 4 mins to go in the 2nd Quarter.

IND_scores_114_14.png

Crowd is somewhat lessened in volume wise at this as Element "The Watchman" gets the kick back making it to our 22 yl with Vergil "The Vampire" getting us to our 24. Oyster Sauce tells Kal he wants this next one with Kal finding it odd as he doesn't ever ask for it but goes with it as Oyster gets to our 29 yl. He must just be feeling it.

Oyster_to_HQ29_sick.png

We're held for 4th down though and have to punt it off. Lines swap out with Oyster Sauce and a number of the other guys getting to the sidelines and hitting the bench. Some looking a bit more sweaty than usual.
Indianapolis can't get any further than their 45 yl after they reach their 43 and 44 and have to send it back early upping the crowds noise level as the boys hold them to next to nothing.
Oyster Sauce get out there again and gets us to our 19yl on the punt back with 2:17 to go in the 2nd Quarter. We push up to our 24 yl with "The Juice" getting in a 1st down chug to our 33 yl.

Juice_1stdown_HQ33_2q.png

Vergil "The Vampire" gets us to our 39 but we're held again as we have to send it back. The Racers get to their 30 yl and with only 15 secs left they opt to run the clock instead of push upfield as they have to kick to us anyway for the 3rd quarter. The 'sick fatigue' continuing to show as they'd rather not take hits knowing it's a possession change anyway coming up. Making our way off field back into the locker rooms I have a few words with our Med Staff about some of our guys as watching some of them go off field it's obvious they are not feeling well...

[ 3rd Quarter ]

Indianapolis gets out the kicking lineup as they get set to boot it off to us to start the 3rd Quarter. Element "The Watchman" gets us to our 29 yl and Ninety Eight to our 35 but we have to send it off early as we get held for a 4th down after Kal takes a Sack as Tweed "The Kobold" 's assignment slipped past him. Tweed tells Kal he's sorry with a shoulder smack with Kal telling him "It's okay buddy, you can't stop them all" as Kal notices the look in Tweed's eyes and the sweat on his face as Kal looks over to me on the sideline. G*ddamnit...

Indianapolis gets the Wndrbr Boots punt back getting to their 33 yl with Red Seven getting in another nice takedown for 4 tackles on the day.

red7_tackles_3q.png

The Racers get to their 32 on a small 1 yard gain with Breath "The Undying" getting in a pass stop to force a 4th down as they send it back. Oyster Sauce snags it down and gets to our 21 yl with Maiden Haver a short burst to our 23. Oyster Sauce heads back to our sideline for a seat as he passes by me apologizing, telling me he has to take a seat for a bit. I eye some of the Medical Staff as they head over to him on the bench as Kal gets the boys ready for another play out on the field... Kal calls out the play, Ultra Fan lets out a cough and shouts "REPEAT" as Kal grimaces knowing what's up and repeats the play call. It's snapped back to Kal and he finds Fin Arfin up left on his opposite favorite side as he gets the mitts on it and TURNS THOSE ELVISH JETS ON GOING WAY UPFIELD FOR A MASSIVE RUN AND GASSING OUT AS HE MAKES IT INTO THE END ZONE FOR A TOUCHDOOOOOOWN! The Crowd erupts as Fin Arfin spins the ball on his finger for a celebration and drops it aside as some of the guys mob him for some congrats as White Shark gets out to put up the extra point.

White Shark nails the extra as we swap out to send it back.

Fin_scores_HQ_21_14_3q.png

After the line swaps, Tweed "The Kobold" sits down on the bench with elbows on knees and head down as some sweat beads can be seen dropping from him with Oyster Sauce in a similar position as some Med Staff head over to see to Tweed at his spot on the bench. The fans have been watching this take place, especially the ones behind the HQ bench area as concerned looking conversations take place among the stands. Ultra Fan takes a seat as well, sweat dripping down from the big guys forehead as Manny von Carstein puts his hand on Ultra Fan and checks in with him. Login Crash taking a knee near the bench with head facing down as he wipes his brow after taking the helmet off a short time later... For **** sakes. There's a commotion behind me happening near the stand area that catches my attention as some Security Guards are holding back a fan. It's @DagothGeas5 . She hopped the stands and Security held her up as the commotion that caught my attention was her yelling out "COACH! COACH!". I head back towards our bench area as I can hear her shouting that she wants to help, and that she wants to help the Staff pointing at the bench area. I yell out to the Security: "HEY HEY HEY! SHE'S OKAY!. HEY LISTEN, SHE'S OKAY, SHE'S TEAM FAMILY, LET HER IN! YES! IT'S FINE." motioning for them to let her pass as they release her. She heads over to help out our Med Staff with handing out some cold meds, ice bags and towels to Tweed, Oyster Sauce, Ultra and Login. The Refs come to me with a warning about the delay and to get the play going.

"Yeah, yeah for **** sake I know there's some **** going on we're handling it"...

White Shark tries not to focus on the scene at our sideline as he steadies he gaze on the ball and fires it up into the air back to Indianapolis. They get to their 28 yl, the 31 and a nice 1st down run to our 46, breaking center field. They refresh the 1st down again to our 34 yl and again to our 20. The Med Staff has some meds distributed now to the guys and some have some smelling salts in hand on our sideline.

The Racers push to our 11 and a 1st down to our 8 but are held to 4th down as they go for a FG to end the drive.

Securing the field goal we swap out to have them send it back to us with 3:23 to go in the 3rd as Oyster Sauce and Tweed "The Kobold" head off field to the back rooms with @DagothGeas5 staying at the bench to continue helping out Ultra Fan and Login Crash and checking on others. Some throat clearing and coughing among the guys gets others looking in their direction but everyone else remains standing and at the ready for now...

Element "The Watchman" gets the kick back getting to our 35 yl with Maiden Haver a short chug to our 38. Kal gets the boys in, telling them to stay focused and goes over a multi-fake play as they break the huddle and get into position. Kal shouts the play as Gerey snaps it back to him... Kal makes a fake hand off to Stacko Turtles and a fake toss over mid, pivoting and firing one up right to Vergil "The Vampire" who sinks the fingers into the ball, RUNNING UP THE RIGHT SIDELINE FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER AS HE GASSES OUT INTO THE END ZONE FOR A 62 YARD TOUCHDOOOOOOOWN!

There's no new HQ players down on the sidelines thankfully as we swap out lines to send it back. Ultra Fan and Login Crash remain on the sidelines for now sporting cold towels on the back of the neck and draped over head as Indianapolis gets the kick back making it to their 26 yl. They refresh the 1st down to their 41 with Roguey "The Stealthy" getting in his 9th tackle of the day stopping the play.

Roguey_tackles_9_3q.png

The Racers push to their 48 but can't break centerfield yet again and punt it back...

We're held though as we can't break center field either in turn sending it back... With 20 seconds left in the 3rd Quarter Indianapolis gets to their 23 and nothing more as the crowd applauds the 'stonewalling' yet again as they send it back with Element "The Watchman" getting to our 29 yl as the clock expires to end the 3rd.

[ 4th Quarter ]

A number of our guys are looking rough starting the 4th Quarter... nothing too serious yet but the tell-tale signs of 'flu' are apparent on a number of them but they're fighting it for now. Oyster Sauce, Tweed "The Kobold", Ultra Fan and Login Crash did not come out for the 4th quarter, they have remained in the Med Rooms with staff for precautionary concerns, @Dagothgeas5 stays out on our sideline near the benches but behind as some of our Med Staff chat with her and keep their eyes on some of our boys as they strap helmets on and prepare for the final quarter.

Taking over on our 29 yl, Kal finds Vergil "The Vampire" who gets to our 35 yl and Ninety Eight who gets to the IND 49 for a big 1st down.

1998_1stdown_early_4q.png

Vergil "The Vampire" finds a seam up mid to the IND 46 with "The Juice" getting in a 1st down to the IND 36 and again to their 32. Cipher "The Maverick" locks on to a Kalzone missle going down at the IND 10 for another 1st down, holding the ball out ahead of him for a moment before dropping it out of his hand like a 'bomb' as the crowd comes alive as they can feel a TD coming!

Cipher_1stdown_4q.png

Kal finds Vergil "The Vampire" who gets to our 4 yl and almost appears to go down but he runs it into the end zone as the crowd erupts but it's under review to see if his knee hit the ground and the TD is to be reversed with us restarting on the 4 yl. Eye Stabber went down on his side to make a block for that play taking an injury, which thankfully doesn't appear to be too bad as he's able to walk off field on his own.

Several minutes pass as the play is looked over from multiple angles as our Med Staff check in with the players on field to see if there's any condition changes.
A ref heads to center field with hand on his microphone device finally to announce the ruling....

" Upon further review... the HQ player did not fully go down to the knee- * CROWD ERUPTS * -therefore we have a good touchdown" as he holds the hands up to signal it!

White Shark nails the extra as we swap out lines to send it back, Med Staff diligent to check on every player heading back out onto the field and those coming back.

Indianapolis gets the kick back getting to their 27 yl as we hold them to 3rd down with Breath "The Undying" getting HIS 9th tackle in of the game to force a 4th down punt with the fans applauding in appreciation.

Element "The Watchman" gets the punt return to our 32 as he points to the tunnels and balls a fist, striking his chest for Oyster Sauce which gets a roar from the crowd. Vergil "The Vampire" gets a 1st down refresh to our 45 yl. Stacko Turtles and "The Juice" put in some nice runs chugging up field to the IND 16! as they both refresh the 1st down getting the crowd back on their feet. We push up to our 15, and 12 before having to get White Shark out there to send one up for 3 to end the drive.

HQ_scores_FG_34_17.png

Perfect all day, White Shark aces it as we swap out to send it back with 4:00 mins left to go in the 4th Quarter.

No new updates on our 4 brothers who are sick in the back Med Rooms as they haven't gotten worse at least. A few of our guys still out on the field are spraying themselves down with Gatorade bottles of water to stay 'cool' in between plays but remaining up as we get the ball up and into the air back to the Racers...

Indianapolis gets to their 25 yl with Red Seven taking an injury after dropping a runner to their 38 yl as he hits the turf awkwardly... He takes a moment to get to his feet and tests his balance and footing but is able to walk off on his own to the sideline as he gets the mouth running the whole time on the way back, clearly not happy as he doesn't take a seat but instead does a few light stretches trying to test his rotation and flexibility with a couple Med Staff members checking in with him...

The Racers get to their 48 yl as the 1st down is reviewed... It's confirmed as they make a short gain for only 1 yard a play later to their 49. The follow up play gets the crowd roaring as an

Kal gets back out onto the field as Med Staff once again check on the swapping players with a few smelling salt 'sniffs' taking place. I tell the boys that it's all but over, they aren't going to come back from this so just hold them and don't overexert themselves, telling Kal to run the clock when he can, most likely on next possession as we can't do it now. I stop him briefly before he goes out telling him to look at me and checking his eyes and face to see if he's still okay. He's alert and showing no signs of sickness thank ****. I smack his chest a couple times and send him out as I visibly get eyes on all the guys swapping out and asking them along with Med Staff for a 'thumbs up' and to look at me. All seems okay thankfully...

Kal finds Bob Tee who gets a big 1st down chug to the IND 41 but we're held and have to punt it off...

Indianapolis can't get anything going after the punt back, only getting to their 35 with 50 secs left in the quarter... Kal runs the clock taking a couple knees as the clock expires with HQ taking game 14

Making our way off field, the boys are relieved as they head back through the tunnel, some with cold towels dripping down and water bottles squirted on top of head...

MVP of the game was: Breath "The Undying". Most notable with 2 Interceptions and 10 tackles on the day.

Fuckin wild game boys... We had a few drop as this wasn't unexpected but untimely... Thankfully we only had a few 'tap' out. Hopefully the week now in between games they can recover. 2 left to go...

LBL INSIDER

After several days of tracking his movements, reporters finally caught up to Kalzone as he was getting into his car. Asked for comment on the game against the Racers last week, and his thoughts on the upcoming game against the Ten Kings, he had the following to say:

"What the F-K is wrong with you c-ts stalking me outside the stadium? Have you d-chebags got a death wish?! I'll tell you what, keep this up and you're gonna get a @basket of citrus at your door and you won't like the taste if you know what I'm saying.

"Yeah, I didn't have much to say last week. Fite's just a washed-up old rag, the team name's appropriate don't you think? The INDIANapolis Racers, hahah! Get it? BECAUSE THEY TRAILED S-T ALL OVER OUR STADIUM AND GOT HALF MY BOYS SICK AS A DOG! Hopefully we knocked them out of the playoffs, those guys have a 20 foot kill radius if you know what I mean.

"Anyways we're up against the Tankings this week right? Sometimes I forget with these mooks. I think it's the Tankings. So yeah that's what they're gonna do.

"I don't know I'm just not feeling it with you p-nsy b-es today, get the f-k out of my face I don't have anything else to say."

[ LBL INSIDER ]

... reporters catch Coach Classix briefly outside of the visiting team locker rooms inside Crescent Field Stadium for some comments and questions ahead of Game 15 this evening against the Tennessee Kings...

Reporter 1: "Coach a few questions please if you could?"

Coach Classix: "Yeah go ahead."

Reporter 1: "Can we get an update on your teams overall status for the game today?"

Coach Classix: "All of our guys barring a few that took some injuries from gameplay sources, will be ready to go. There's lingering aches and such still going around but players across every team are sore to some degree anyway during the year considering how physical this sport is. I won't be pointing out specific 'ailing' players obviously but they're all back amongst their team mates, no isolation needed."

Reporter 2: "Coach, I know you get asked this a lot I'm sure, but regarding your Quarterbacks' comments earlier-

Coach Classix: "He mouthed off? Said some 'bad' words, maybe hurt some feelings, got some more hate? Yeah I know. I don't care. He puts up the numbers and has contributed to this teams success. I've said it before, he's passionate. If that passion causes others around the league to hate him and us as a team, good. I hope he gets under the skin of everyone who doesn't wear or support the team colors. Simple.

Reporter 3: "Coach regarding the event that took place behind your bench with a fan jumping the stands, which you allowed to help out your medical staff, can we get some clarification on that?

Coach Classix: "She's a big fan of the team and our guys here-

Reporter 3: "Family member or..?-

Coach Classix: "No, no. Unofficially yes... but not related to anyone here. She's a season ticket holder like many others but who many of us know from outside of the gridiron personally.

Reporter 3: "In the medical field?"

Coach Classix: "hmm?"

Reporter 3: "Is she in the medical field at all? Has training, a student of some kind?

Coach Classix: "Not official training or degrees that I am aware of no, but she put her own safety and health at risk to hop the stands and be around sick players, let alone possible fines or arrest just to come and help the team out with what she perceived as a concerning or... 'dire enough' situation to warrant her actions. She's not fined or will face any issues by the way either, that's already been gone over and spoken about if that's your follow up question.

Reporter 3: *shakes head while jotting down notes*-

Coach Classix: I won't release her name or anything and she can't make it to every game as she's busy with her own goings on at this time but I've been talking with some people here and we may reach out to her with an offer to get some training and officially have a place on the team with our Medical Staff or to be involved with our general operations to some capacity. We appreciate the heart she has for the team, and we'll see going forward if we can make something come of it.

Reporter 3: "Thank you Coach"

Nodding, Coach Classix heads down the hallway ending the questioning with playbook in hand accompanied by his Offensive and Defensive coordinators...

Thanks for the post @Kally, always appreciated.

Field conditions: Dry. Weather: Partly Cloudy, 86°, 3-8 mph Wind. Evening game.

The fans at Crescent Field get to their feet as the music hits and their team makes their way out onto the field with Goldish-yellow lights strobing in the stadium as a rider on a horse with 'Kingly' attire and a crown on makes his way out with the teams flag held up high in his left hand to center field as he motions towards the tunnel for them to make their way out...





Shortly after, The HQ Shitposters make their way onto the field to the expected 'boos' as we make out way to the sidelines with a number of our guys putting up the arms and smacking the inside of the elbow in a "**** you" motion to some of the fans near the sidelines and entrance tunnel. Settling in on our sidelines some of the boys have a whiff of some smelling salts before the music fades out and the national anthem is announced to be played. We may be a bunch of rude brutes but the boys never **** around during the anthem and ignore the lingering jeering as they stand at attention and focus on the scoreboard and across the field at the Kings.





...following the anthem QB Tommy O'Bannon makes his way to centerfield with Kalzone "The Bomber" following suite from our sideline as he drops the helmet down and makes his way out as the final members of the Tennessee Kings entrance/hype teams make their way off field and into the tunnels.

Meeting at the Kings logo at center field. O'Bannon keeps the eyes locked on Kal as he comes to a stop at his position across from O'Bannon.

Kal takes his left thumb and plugs his left nostril, blowing a 'snot rocket' out with the right and clearing his throat. Expected 'boos' rain out from the fans at Crescent Field.

QB O'Bannon: "Yeah...charming as always."

Kalzone "The Bomber": "Not courteous enough for you 'sire'?

QB O'Bannon: "Everyone's been sick of your f*ckin antics all year long, just make the call"

Ref: "Kalzone...the call please."

Kalzone "The Bomber": "Better hope your 'loyal subjects' are on their best behaviour today and helms stay on nice and secured * as he looks over to our sideline at "The Juice" *... lest our 'beast' break free..." O'Bannon looks over at our sideline to see "The Juice" shifting his weight back and forth from left foot to right, ready to go as he returns the stare.

Ref: "Gentlemen.... Kalzone...the call please..."

Kalzone "The Bomber": "Heads".

Coin lands on... 'tails'.

The Tennessee Kings choose to receive the ball to start the game.

White Shark straps the lid on and gets out with the kick off team as Kal and O'Bannon make their way back to their sidelines.

White Shark assumes his spot at the center of the formation, cracking the neck left and right, tapping the kick off toe into the turf a couple times as he looks to the ref. The Ref looks to the King's side, and then to ours and blows the whistle. White Shark exhales and runs at the ball, driving it up high into the warm and cloudy Tennessee air to start Game 15...

[ 1st Quarter ]

The King's get the White Shark kick out of the air and go down at their 28 yl. They refresh the 1st down getting to their 43.

kings_1stdown_43.png

They follow up with some minimal gains to their 44 and 46 before having to punt it off back to us as we hold them just past centerfield on our 49 yl.

The punt back is OOB (out of bounds) deep to our 6 yl... Fin Arfin chugs one up to our 16 under double coverage keeping the mitts on it with Boon Taker a 1st down refresh to our 18 yl.

Fin_double_covered_HQ16.png

Maiden Haver gets us another 1st down refresh to our 32 yl on a mean rushing play with Vergil "The Vampire" getting to our 37.

Maiden_1stdown_HQ32.png

Cipher "The Maverick" locks onto a Kalzone toss getting us another 1st down refresh to our 45 yl as he rocks his 'look back salute' to Kal, as the crowd is quieted down at the play seeing the Shitposters moving downfield consistantly.

Cipher_1stdown_HQ45.png

After a few of the guys give some taps to Cipher, Kal brings him in for a quick embrace as he's been impressed with him all season giving him some helmet smacks as the boys get into a huddle for Kal's next play call...

Kal goes over a sequence a couple times, looking at the boys before breaking the huddle to get set up. Kal makes the call for the snap... our D buys him some good time as he looks for the target...Nemesis "The Skull"... Nemesis catches the toss with Val "The Moofia Boss" making a nice block for him, going A MASSIVE 52 FUCKIN YARDS TO THE TEN 2 YL before finally gassing out and being taken down. ****, he almost made it all the way... He's feeling good on that one as he spouts out some ******** and flexing as the boys mob him for some love as the crowd is queited down at the show of endurance...

Nemesis_62yards_highlight.png

Kal is pushed back though to the Ten 10 with Boon Taker regaining some ground for us to their 7, but they get the crowd alive again as we're held for 4th down... White Shark gets out to put one up to get us on the board to end the drive...

HQ_scores_FG_3_0.png

Lines swap out for the kick back as Med Staff and myself notice the guys are doing okay, a few a little quieter than usual but otherwise nothing concerning. Smelling salts still in use.

Tennessee gets the kick back getting to their 33 yl with Manny von Carstein getting in a 1 yard loss tackle on a runner pushing them back to their 32. They only manage to get to their 34 as we lock them down and are forced to punt it off back.

It goes out of bounds at our 4 yl as they're aiming it off center hoping for a bounce out and they get a nasty deep one which gets the crowd a little noisy. Boon Taker gets us up to the 9 yl with "The Juice" getting us a 1st down at our 18 yl as he shrugs off one defender with the other hanging on which finally brings him down.

Juice_1stdown_HQ18.png

Vergil "The Vampire" gets us to our 21 yl with Kal finding Cipher "The Maverick" for another 1st down at our 28.

Cipher_1stdown_HQ28.png

"The Juice" racks up another 1st down for us under multiple coverage to our 42 with Bob Tee getting us to the TEN 47.

Juice_1stdown_HQ42.png

We're held though to 4th down...and we opt to go for it as it's only inches but the King's keep the scrimmage line walled up and we just can't get it over the line for a first down and it's a turnover on downs as they get it back on their 47...

Lines swap out as QB Tommy O'Bannon gets back out onto the field to try for another drive as the 1st quarter is winding down. Xenich "The Ashen" makes a nice swat stopping a bullet of a pass up left and we hold them there in turn to nothing gained as they punt it off to us yet again.

Xenich_swat_after_turnover.png

The punt back is deep and goes into our end zone so Oyster Sauce makes the motion for a touchback putting us at our 20 yl. He's still looking a little off as he'll be sharing return duties with Element "The Watchman" tonight to take some work load off of him. Kal finds his wingman, Cipher "The Maverick" again as he gets us a 1st down to our 31 yl...but his helmet is jarred loose. "The Juice" makes his way over to his tackler with Fin Arfin locking up with a couple of the Kings. "The Juice" points the finger at the culprit and muscles past a King as he grabs the jersey and goes faceguard to faceguard as he backs up the King giving him the business, letting him know that his head will be the debt to be paid if it happens again as he shoves him off and away a few feet as some other King's players and our boys lock up in some 'extracurriculars'. The event takes a few mins to alleviate as Cipher reclaims his helmet and tosses it back on. "The Juice" taps Cipher on the helmet and tosses a glace back at the King's players as the fans are loud at the altercation, with "The Juice" holding up a finger as if to say "one more time". Warnings are handed out as the teams resettle and the play is to resume.

Cipher_1stdown_HQ31_helmoff.png

Maiden Haver gets one in for us to our 39 but we're held for a 4th down again and have to send it back with under 30 seconds to go...

Tennessee gets to their 19 yl and a quick follow up to their 22 as the clock expires to end the 1st quarter...

[ 2nd Quarter ]

Coming out for the 2nd quarter, the boys all look alert as our D line gets out on the field with Tennessee to restart the drive on their 22 yl. They get a 1st down to their 31 yl as the King ball runner makes a spinning juke off of Atlan Tico but meets Xenich "The Ashen" right after who takes him down. They push up to their 34 and 40. Getting a tight squeeze through mid to barely refresh the 1st down down field to our 46... T.K Viency gets in a crushing hit to stop the next play and we hold them for 2 more downs to a 4th as they have to punt it off back to us.

It sails out of bounds yet again to our 16 yl as they're sticking with the lower 'bounce out' punts we've seen before. Boon Taker gets us a 1st down refresh to our 35 with Bing Lim a HUGE RUN past centerfield to the TEN 39!

Boon_1stdown_HQ35.png

Bing_1stdown_TEN39.png

The King's squash the momentum yet again though pushing us back to their 43 and holding us as we have to punt it off...ffs

The Wndrbr Boots kick is deep and they take a Touchback sending it to their 20 yl. Lore Gamer gets in a swat stopping a nice pass and we push them back to their 18 yl before they have to punt it off again with Atlan Tico making the final swat. (Doesn't want to give me highlights for our guys on these plays and a number of others, sorry boys.)

Getting it back Oyster Sauce makes a chugging run up field to our 34 before going down. Nemesis "The Skull" a short burst to our 38 and "The Juice" getting in a nice catch and run up right to what seems like our 44 but it's ruled "inches" as we get the 3rd down instead of 1st.

Juice_3rd_inches_HQ44.png

Ninety Eight gets us a 1st down refresher to the TEN 44 with Cipher "The Maverick" to the TEN 35. We're pushed back though to the TEN 42...and we contemplate a FG attempt yet again but opt not to and send it off back with a punt as the crowd ups the volume in relief as the score remains low and manageable in their eyes still...

The King's get to their 20 yl on the kick back with a 1st down to their 33. States Man gets in a sack a few plays later keeping them at the 33 yl as they have to send it back yet again.

TEN_1stdown_33.png

States_Man_sack.png

Getting it back from the King's Oyster Sauce gets this one getting over center field to their 42 yl. The following play sees a Tennessee injury as Lore Gamer seemed to 'clothesline' his assignment for a nasty take down after a Tennessee 1st down which leads to a minor scuffle as the King's didn't take too 'kindly' to that stiff arm drop, getting a warning from the refs and a 5 yard penalty for us.

TEN_injury_neck.png

The crowd is livid at this as the player has to be helped off field holding his neck. Bob Tee gets to the TEN 38 the following play. On the next play an unfortunate

TEN_INT_2q.png

takes place as Tennessee is able to snag it out of the air before going down at their 35. This invigorates the crowd as interceptions always do and they ride the hype to their 40 and a 1st down to our 47. They push to our 38 with a Time Out called to settle the guys down and go over some plays as the quarter is winding down. They get a crowd pumping 1st down toss to our 19 yl with Atlan Tico getting in a swat at our 15 and T.K Viency a nice hit to force a 4th down... They get the kicker out to pop one up to end their drive late in the 2nd Quarter...

TK_bighit.png

Kings_scores_3_3.png

They get on the board finally with a tying field goal as lines swap out to send it back to us...

[ 3rd Quarter ]

After half time the King's have to kick it off back to us to start the 3rd so they get the kicking line out as tensions are high with such a low scoring game...

Element "The Watchman" snags it out of the air and gets to our 17 yl...where disaster strikes...the ball comes loose from his grip and eager hands on both sides attempt to find it and smother it!...

3q_fumble_ten_hasit.png

Tennessee recovers it... as the crowd erupts and drowns the stadium out in celebration as it's fuckin deep and in prime territory for a touchdown... Element "The Watchman" is bent over and disappointed as the boys tell him to stay up and let it go, and to not show anything as lines swap out with him getting to the sidelines ****** off at himself but trying to keep the emotions in check.

The King's make a seemingly for sure touchdown pass up left into the end zone to a receiver but Atlan Tico gets the hands on it, swatting it away as the King's are held to 3rd down...

Atlan_stops_TD.png

They make a chug up to our 13 yl on a 4th down...deciding to go for it instead of a FG...the snap is made back to QB Tommy O'Bannon... he makes a toss up right this time...which makes it in for a touchdown sending the crowd into a noisy frenzy. The extra is ace'd as they get set to send it back...

TEN_scores_10_3_3q.png

Stadium stays loud as the King's have taken the lead as the kick back is caught by Element "The Watchman" again to our 34 yl. Nemesis "The Skull" gets to our 36 with Bob Tee to our 43 on a 4th down with us having to punt it off back as we can't refresh the 1st down...

Tennessee gets the Wndrbr Boots punt back getting to their 33 yl with States Man getting in his 2nd sack of the game pushing the King's back to their 25 yl.

They push up 1 more yard to their 26 but are held for 4th down and have to punt it off back.

Element "The Watchman" makes a valiant return to our 42 yl with Boon Taker to our 46 but we're held and forced to send it back as we can't get it going any further to the crowds delight as they stay noisy in support of their guys holding us off from making any significant gains after that fumble...

The King's get to their 31 with a Nor Fleet deflection stopping a pass the following play. They push up to their 40 within 1 yard of a 1st down but the boys hold them. They opt to go for it instead of punting it back...the 1st down is good as they get to their 43 yl with T.K Viency and Spell Sword stopping any further advancements as they have to send it back once more...

TK_5_tackles.png

Spellsword_5_tackles.png

With 4:19 to go in the 3rd Quarter the kick back is deep into our end zone so we take Touchback to send it to our 20 yl. Boon Taker gets to our 25 yl with Vergil "The Vampire" a 1st down run to our 33.

Vergil_1stdown_HQ33.png

On the following play, disaster strikes us again as Bono Taker's run ends with him taking an injury at our 39...

Boon_injury.png

He limps off field to the fans jeering at the loss of one of our receivers... Bob Tee refreshes our 1st down at our 42...but NO, it's ruled "inches" and a 4th down instead and we're fuckin held yet again and have to punt it off...

The King's get it back, making it to their 32 yl with follow up plays to their 39 and 41 with a 1st down refresh that barely makes it in ffs to their 42. Lore Gamer makes a tackle to stop the play at the 45 with Nor Fleet stopping the play at the 49 as the King's Steve Columbia's helmet is dislodged causing a dust up as frustrations boil over with some extended altercations of fist-clenched-jersey's and shoving. Play settles down after a couple minutes as they're held to 4th down and punt it off back to us...

Steve_columbia_helmoff_4thdown.png

It goes out of bounds yet again to our 18. "The Juice" gets in an angry chug to the HQ 32 yl with 1:53 to go with Nemesis "The Skull" getting to our 41.

Cipher_huge_1stdown.png

The momentum is squashed yet again though as they hold us to 4th down ffs and have to get White Shark out to try for a FG to end the drive...

FG_just_short_by_inches.png

Some King's fingers just barely get on it though, after watching the replay... as it's ******* INCHES short for a 'no good' as it stays 3-10 with seconds to go in the 3rd...

Tennessee takes over on their 24 and runs the clock the last few seconds to end the 3rd quarter as they'll take over there for the 4th Quarter...

KINGS_FG_short_aswell.png

IT'S SHORT and a "NO GOOD" as we take over on our 37 with lines swapping out. Players on both sides are looking frustrated and with fatigue starting to kick in at the constant back and forth.

Nemesis "The Skull" is escorted off field to get looked at, walking on his own thankfully but in some distress as he's half leaning over and holding his chest area...just great.

Field conditions: Partially wet. Weather: Partly Cloudy/Rain off and on, 87°, 10+ mph Wind. Evening game.

Octagon Stadium is sparsely filled today as their team isn't making it to the Playoffs this year so attendance is lower than usual and compared to our first meeting. Rain gear donned by most of the faithful who are in attendance as the weather is undecided so far with brief periods of light rain as the Michigan Cardinals' speakers come to life for the last match of their season as their team makes their way out onto the field with QB Avery Kosko leading...





a few minutes after the Cardinals' entrance, Kalzone "The Bomber" and our 'spear' make their way out onto Octagon Field for the first and only time this season as a flash of lightning goes off overhead as we make our way to our sideline. The boys look alert and ready to go as we settle in for a few moments as the announcement is made for the national anthem as helmets are held low in hand and tucked into sides.




Hundred and fuckin 4. Wanted to use this one even though the stadium here in game is lightly populated, just love this one. Man can still drop those notes rockin some Isles colors too. They won 2-0 as well. Yeeeaahh baby.

Following the anthem, Kalzone "The Bomber" makes his way to the centerfield Michigan logo where QB Avery Kosko is already standing as he gets there first as Kal lingers, sharing a few words with our guys on the sideline...

Kalzone "The Bomber" gets to centerfield as he meets QB Avery Kosko's stare.

Kal cuts right to the chase and looks to the ref and calls: "Tails"...

Coin lands on... "Heads"...

Michigan Cardinals choose to receive the ball to start the final game of the season.

Kal puts the 2 fingers up motioning for White Shark to get out there and get this going as QB Avery Kosko looks somewhat confused as Kal goes to walk away back to the sidelines with him saying nothing this time....

Kal says out loud, as White Shark is at my side strapping the helmet on, feet from our sideline: "Not wasting words on bottom feeders today, we got bigger things to focus on. Get out there buddy and let's get it done" as he taps White Shark on the back of the helmet before taking a seat over at our bench.

White Shark has the usual stare down with the leather ******* everyone's been fighting over all season as the ref sounds off the whistle shortly after. He runs in and grits the teeth as he drills it up high into the overcast Michigan sky with rain threatening at every moment to start the final game of the season...

[ 1st Quarter ]

Michigan gets the White Shark kick back, getting to their 22 yl, with a follow up 1st down to their 33. After a short rush to their 37 yl, QB Avery Kosko is pressured by Bertram Tung and J1m "The Mandalorian" as he's forced to toss it away as they bare down on him forcing a 4th down and punt off back to us early.

The Michigan kick goes out of bounds to our 21 yl with Bing Lim finding a seam up mid through the D to the HQ 30 with a 1st down to our 41. Kal finds Bing Lim again for a HUGE 1ST DOWN TO THE MICHIGAN 29 and 22!

Oyster Sauce shuts the crowd us again as he gets to the MICH 2 on a beauty CHUG as we've closed in early!

Michigan gets the boot back making it to their 22 again with Nathanial Saxton getting in his 4th tackle of the day to stop the play... Michigan pushes to their 21 and 28 with a 1st down on their 37 with Scot Hippe's helmet being dislodged after a J1m "The Mandalorian" hit causing a scuffle as the boys lock up with the struggling Cardinals giving them the 'business' and talking some **** as grins and smirks taunt the Cardinals into some early shenanigans. Play settles down and the Michigan toss is bobbled and almost picked off as J1m "The Mandalorian", Thulsa Doomer and Bertram Tung pressure QB Avery Kosko yet again for a panic toss, but it barely makes it for a 1st down to the HQ 46.

Michigan stays focused, making a nasty 1st down toss-and-catch to the HQ 16 though... They take a loss to their 14 with Rand "The Shade" getting in a take down but they follow it up with a short fast toss into the end zone for a touchdown to get the crowd fired back up...

The extra is put up through the pipes as we swap out and get set to receive the kick back as it's tied up...

Element "The Watchman" snags it out of the air and goes down at our 28 with "The Juice" getting a 1st down refresh on a FUCKIN DOZER RUN TO THE MICHIGAN 46!

Juice_1stdown_MICH_46.png

Bob Tee gets us to the Mich 44 as we're held to 4th down and White Shark tries to fire one up from 44 yards away but the wind is fighting against us as it's just short by a few feet and we're forced to turn it over on the Mich 44... White Shark keeps the head high though as it's only early and the wind is being a bit of a nuisance to deal with so the boys don't need to check in on him as I give him a smack on the numbers to keep the negative bs at bay...

Michigan takes over on their 44 with Nathanial Saxton getting in a swat to stop a play and Atlan Tico one of his own as he forces a 4th down... Michigan gets in a 1st down though to the HQ 32 with a follow up 1 yard gain to their 31 with Iren Aeus making the stop. Michigan is able to get in a 1st down to our 15 yl with a few follow ups to our 13 and 6 yl... **** sake. They put one into the end zone unfortunately with the extra point good for

as they swap out lines to send it back with 31 secs to go in the 1st quarter...


Element "The Watchman" makes a nasty return to the HQ 40! With Oyster Sauce making a beauty catch and run down field as he gets the legs pumping with head back and eyes closed as he BRINGS IT IN DEEP...!

OYSTER SAUCE CHUGS IT IN GOING OUT OF BREATH FOR A FUCKIN TOUCHDOOOOOOOOOOWN! as he stumbles it in almost falling forward! He tosses it away and throws a punch out as the guys on field get in for some love taps as he's bent over out of breath as our sideline celebrate the effort and get in some hugs and smacks as he makes it back to the sideline! YEAH BABY!
Got one for you @Oyster Sauce finally.

White Shark secures the extra point tying it at 14-14 with 7 seconds left in the 1st quarter!

Michigan gets the kick back to their 39 with 1 sec left as the clock expires on a follow up short rush to their 36...

[ 2nd Quarter ]

Coming out to the 2nd quarter Michigan sets up on their 36 with Rand "The Shade" making a stop to try and squash some early momentum...and apparently smelling good while doing it.. lol?

Rand_3tackles_smellsgood_lol.png

Michigan gets in a 1sy down though to the HQ 40 with Xenich "The Ashen" making a stop at the HQ 38. On 4th down Michigan digs in though and gets out the kicker for a FG attempt, securing it for an early 2nd Quarter lead:

MICH_17-14.png

We get the kick back making it to our 22 yl with Maiden Haver a 1st down to the HQ 38 and Stacko Turtles another one to our 48 before we get held and have to force it off back with a punt...

MH_1stdown_2q_HQ38.png

Michigan gets it back making it to their 33 as "The Juice" gets in a fuckin big hit to Frances Rice as he's slow to get up, taking a few deep breathes on his knees before getting up... "The Juice" watching silently at the act... Michigan gets to their 40 with Spell Sword making a swat to stop their play and force a 4th down punt...

Oyster Sauce snags this one to our 30 yl with "The Juice" getting to our 39... with Opium Den taking an injury on the play as he went down on his side causing him to take a few extra seconds to get to his feet as he's feeling something is off on that play...

Juice_to_HQ39.png

Opium_injury_2q.png

"The Juice" and a few of our D men help Opium Den off field to the benches as Med Staff head over to look at him and assess the damage... I have a word with "The Juice" to keep the emotions in check as he leans in low, ( ****** is big GD lol ) he nods as I smack his chest numbers and tell him to keep watch over the boys but don't lose his cool, and that we need him still as he heads back out...

The following play sees Fin Arfin get the Kal pass off to the right as his helmet is dislodged near the Cardinal sideline...ohhhh ****. "The Juice" marches over getting in front of Fin as he has his own "Sauron" moment as he shoves off multiple Michigan players to his left before shoving off more to his right as he grabs Fin and keeps him behind himself. He stands out amongst the black and red as the only red, white and blue player towering above a number of the Cardinal players as he exchanges words with every one of them as Fin Arfin gets the helmet back on and moves in to get some hands on the Cardinals himself as our boys finally catch up and join in on the sideline with "The Juice" being forced to break his hold onto a couple of the Cardinal players with both hands full of 'jersey' as he shoves the last of them off with the refs issuing a warning to him and a 10 yard penalty to us after the altercation as the crowd is lively at the scene...

Fin_1st_down_helmoff.png

After the skirmish we push up to the Mich 43 with "The Juice" getting in another 1st down to the Mich 28.

Juice_1stdown_again_2q_mich28.png

Bob Tee gets us to the Mich 20 with Bing Lim a 1st down refresh to the Mich 15! We push up to the Mich 1 yl with Kalzone "The Bomber" finding BING LIM AS HE CHUGS IT IN FOR A TOUCHDOOOOOWN!

White Shark nails the extra for a

HQ lead with 2:47 left to go in the 2nd Quarter...Michigan can't break the 50 yl on their next possession being forced to punt off at their 47. We in turn are held to within our own 30 yl as we have to send it back. The following Michigan possession sees them get the Wndrbr Boots' punt back and making it to our 35 but on the next toss by Kosko it's an

BY GHOST COW as he steals that one away out of the air with 1:22 to go in the 2nd Quarter. We run the clock a bit before kicking it back off on 4th down with 10 secs left. Michigan gets the ball and makes a go up field but a fumble takes place as players on both teams are in a cluster of arms and legs trying to find it to potentially stop the clock quickly and go for a long bomb to end the quarter. Michigan comes up with it but only after the clock has hit zero so it means nothing as they have to kick back to us anyway for the 3rd...

Michigan kicks the ball back to us to start the 3rd quarter with Element "The Watchman" getting to our 26. Cipher "The Maverick" bobbles and almost loses it on the next toss from Kal but he's able to keep the hands on it for huge 1st down run to the Michigan 29!

We get in to their 20 before a Kalzone toss finds the hands of Oyster Sauce again, as he runs it in for a TOUCHDOWN! White Shark nails the extra making it

as we send it back, getting an early one. Michigan gets the kick back but the gloves are slippery once again as another FUMBLE takes place with everyone trying to find it!

Fumble_mich_3q_getsit_again.png

Michigan gets lucky again as they're able to secure it on their 34 yl. The Cardinals call a timeout after that to try and settle down as they go over some chats with the Coach at their sideline. Following the timeout, it seems to have worked as they make a huge run up right before going down at our 13 yl...

MICH_bigrun_HQ13_3q.png

Thulsa Doomer gets in a stop for a 4 yard loss pushing them back to our 17 but they refresh the 1st down to our 2 yl as it seems they won't be denied this one as they squeeze one up through middle for a touchdown... The extra is good as we're tied up again

MICH_scores_24_24.png

Element "The Watchman" gets the kick back after that tying Michigan play and zig-zags his way left and right up field before finding a lane up right AND GOING 76 FUCKIN YARDS BEFORE FINALLY RUNNING OUT OF STEAM AND IS DRAGGED DOWN! How's that for a response!

Oyster Sauce gets in a couple short runs to the Mich 10 and 8 where Kal finds "The Juice" up center as he muscles around 4 Cardinal defenders and he's able to get those big mitts on it FOR A TOUCHDOOOOOOWN!
White Shark aces the extra as we retake the lead.

The Cardinals get the kick back deep in their end zone from White Shark so they take a touchback putting the ball at their 20 yl. MIchigan's next toss ends in disaster for them as it's an INTERCEPTION by Red Seven at the Mich 28...

Red_seven_INT_3q.png

Red7_INT_highlight_3q.png

Taunting the intended receiver holding the ball out at him: "This yours ******? Was this here for you? HUH?" as the player swats Red Seven away with his hand while continuing to walk away as the Refs warn Red to stop the taunting with a warning and head back to our team. A few of the players catch wind of what's going on as it's relayed back to them with some minor face to faces and a few trying to get at Red Seven as he makes his way back to our sideline for some line swaps. He just laughs it off and stays behind the sideline paint, not stepping back out onto the field to engage any of the Cardinals and take any penalties for rentering play.

QB Avery Kosko's frustration at the terrible day his team is having easily on display as he just looks beside himself shaking his head.

Oyster Sauce gets us to the Mich 19 and "The Juice" another 1st down to the Mich 10.

Juice_1stdown_MICH10.png

Cipher "The Maverick" gets in a 5 yard gain with "The Juice" going down at the Mich 0 as we're held for 4th down... We get White Shark out to at least get 3 pts out of the drive instead of going for it and causing a turnover for nothing, allowing them to make a tying drive back up field by chance.

HQ_scores_FG_34_24.png

With 3:19 to go in the 3rd, Michigan gets the kick back to their 23 yl with Rand "The Shade" forcing the 4th down punt with a swat as they have to send it off back to us with a lot of words being exchanged on both sides now. Possession exchanges for both of us 1 more time each as drives can't get any further as the clock expires for teh 3rd quarter with Oyster Sauce bobbling a toss that he's able to get the hands on going down at the HQ 41.

Coming out for the 4th quarter we get set up with our O line at our 41 yl. Oyster Sauce gets in another gain and 1st down to our 45 yl with Fin Arfin another 1st down up left to the Mich 47. Bob Tee keeps the momentum going for a 3rd 1st down in a row to the Mich 29.

The game slows right down from here as possessions exchange a few times back and forth with punts and swats exchanged in turn. Some highlights of note occur just over halfway through the 4th quarter where a Cardinal touchdown toss is stopped in the end zone by States Man and a Cardinal takes an injury on the play with J1m "The Mandalorian" making the heavy hit at the scrimmage line.

MICH_injury_stomache_4q.png

The Cardinals are able to put up a field goal with 2:44 to go narrowly giving away the ball on that drive once again with a near Interception.

MICH_FG_good_27_41.png

A turnover on downs happens on the Mich 46 as they opt to go for it instead of a punt of long field goal but it fails and we get it back with under 2 mins left. "The Juice" gets us a 1st down to the Mich 35 with Vergil "The Vampire" to our 31 where Kal starts to run the clock before we go for our own field goal to end our final possession of the game.

HQ_scores_FG_4q_44_27.png

Michigan decides to run the clock as well, QB Avery Kosko taking knees instead of putting his guys health at further risk with no chance of coming back points wise. The RPGHQ Shitposters take game 16 with a descisive and rather unexciting win as both teams make their way off field for some much needed end of season rest, especially the Cardinals. Our boys on the sideline congratulate one another and don't bother with any after match mouthing off to any of Michigan's players as we head off into the tunnels as the remaining scatterd Michigan fans make their way out of the stadium. They'll have to wait for next year before Octagon Field is rockin again in a sea of red...
