Friday September 9
Teams: Matthew Couto, Patrick, Jacob and Jordie vs. James, Tommy, Maciej and Kyle.
Score: 9-6 for Couto's greens.
Game Rating (out of 10): 9 - A sausage fest and a half.
Notable absentees:  Robbie, Matthew Soegtrop, Danielle, Alex D., Owen.
Offensive Player of the Game: Jacob.  3 awesome TDs and could have had much more. 
Defensive Player of the Game: Matthew Couto.  3 interceptions, and was deadly accurate on defensive man to man coverage.
Special Teams Player of the Game: Matthew Couto. Second consecutive Special teams award for Matt, this time getting 2 kickoff TDs.
Pitch and Weather: No coolie chills to be found on this night.  Generally quite enjoyable weather, but the night's a comin' way too fast.  No girls around, so it was a true sausage fest in every sense of the word.  The pitch was less shaggy than before.
Summary:  The yellows took an early lead in the game, and never relinquished it, despite brave comeback attempts from James' violet squad.  Matthew Couto was a demon on offense, throwing 4 TDs, 3 of which were to Jacob.  However, on special teams Couto was really superb.  He ended the game with his second kickoff touchdown of the game, putting an exclamation mark on what was essentially a blowout.  Other notable contributors included Jacob and his 3 touchdowns, James with his 2 receiving TDs and one kickoff touchdown, and Kyle playing his best game ever. 
Bogus Moment of the Day - Without a doubt, the triple fumble recovery by Maciej and Matthew Couto.  On one play, Maciej caught an interception from Couto and ran it back halfway down the field.  From there, he threw his own interception, which Matt caught and ran the other way.  In the process, he fumbled the ball right to Maciej, who ran it back up the field!
Player Ratings (out of 10, 4 being the lowest):
Kyle - 7.5; Played his best game ever.  Made an incredible catch in the endzone for his first touchdown of the season, but was reluctant on defense. 
Jordie - 7; Not his usual best, but a bulk and a half in any case.  Scored, but what in the hell was he thinking with that quarterback run?!
Patrick - 7; Not quite at his receiving form, but will be with more games under his belt. 
Maciej - 6; Threw more interceptions than an air traffic controller on roller blades.
Tommy - 7; Was hard pressed to repeat the heroics of September 7th, but did fine.  Caught the ball like a flag on a lamppost, but was hampered by a cheap shot from Jacob.
Jacob - 8; A good game marred by the cheapshot he gave Tommy. 
James - 8; The captain of the violet squad was also their best player.  Played with reckless abandon, despite wearing sandals!
Matthew Couto - 10; Matchwinner.  Was the reason the yellow squad topped the violets.
