I will start this blog off by stating. These guys WON the championship. I can't think of a team that had to overcome what they did to win this thing. They finished the season 2-5! You read that right. Their second win came in the last game of the regular season against Tarheels... and they put them away 41-6. Then they started off with HitSquad in the first round beating them 18-6. This bunch of misfits carried their momentum into the final week games with a chip on their shoulder. They had a fan base and beer chilling in coolers waiting for the end of the day. A focused squad found themselves in a dogfight with the defending Summer Champs, the Untouchables in their first game. I had finished my game early enough to witness the momentum that would carry them to the promised land. With about 4 minutes to go, Danger was down 12 and had the ball. They were able to score at the 2 minute mark, failing on the conversion to make it a 6 point game. All Untouchables had to do was get a first down and the game was over. First play, short pass to the flats. Time out, Danger. Second play, Sack!, Time out Danger. and if I remember correctly, they picked off a desperation pass by Nick. That or a punt. Either way, Danger had the ball with about a minute left with only about 30 yards to go. Four plays later, they are in the endzone. Now, all they have to do is convert this 1pt conversion and it's over. Surprisingly, it was a pretty lax effort by them failing on the conversion and now on to OT. In the end, Danger scored and Untouchables failed to capitalize. Next up for Danger...? Defending Spring Champs, All Madden. This game was similar in the fact that it was a dog fight. Back and forth we went with them before ultimately coming down to the end. With under 30 seconds left, All Madden was down by 7 and was able to get the ball in the end zone. The decision made next decided the outcome. Blitz was open and the decision was to go for two for the win. Jump Ball tossed to the left and knocked down by the Danger Safety. Game over. And finally, TTB was the team that had to face these guys in the end. Danger was rolling and this point and crushed TTB. I don't know what the final score was but I saw Danger pick off TTB's QB at least 4-5 times. I imagine I will know the final score soon. So there you have it...another season is in the books and a new Champ is crowned. Congratulations to Danger and their fans.
See everyone out there on 12/4 for the winter season. Looking forward to it fellas.
