Another battle with Arizona? An appropriate finish to this Gamma run, I suppose.

Was gone all day and just saw the result. Wow, what a game. Wish I'd actually watched the whole thing.Another battle with Arizona? An appropriate finish to this Gamma run, I suppose.

So, it stands to reason someone will blow that all up in the 4th quarter, right?

Through three quarters, the LV-AZ matchup is as close as can be. All tied 17-17, time of possession almost identical, net yards 300-277 LV, and each team with one turnover.So, it stands to reason someone will blow that all up in the 4th quarter, right?

31-31!
Thought we had a shot to hold them off in final minutes with top WR Strange injured and Spooge taking a nap, but Schlinger led the tying drive and passed for a TD as time expired. Exciting certainly.

And a last-second move paid off, as I switched #1 HB Red McDonald to return kicks in hopes of getting a nice return. I hadn't done that previously because of injury risk since I already had my #2 HB back there on returns.
So McDonald promptly sheds two tacklers and brings it down to the 21 and we line up for the FG on the next play. Offense never took the field in OT. Crazy way to end a season, but we'll take it!
Farewell, lovely Gamma team ... Champions in 62, 64 and 66 (forget that the redo for 64 took it away on the official record sheets).

Good luck in the draft, folks. I'm nervous, this team is a tough act to follow.

Congratulations, red. I was unhappy with the ending, but knowing you made a special change helps, a tad. Of course, this is more palatable than had the Spiders won after the last second save to get to OT. Ariz was a VERY lucky team over the seasons, lots of last possession heroics.Good luck in the draft, folks. I'm nervous, this team is a tough act to follow.

And there's something pretty sweet about the fact that we were the only ones who managed to pull it off.
I don't expect to be as competitive in the new Beta league because I don't have time to rank the players carefully this week, and at 5gpd there's just no opportunity to change strategies as often as you need to.
This will be a plug and play team for me, like a Beta single-season that keeps going. I won't be as attached to it as I was to this Gamma team that I really spent a lot of time on. I'll get whoever I get, cut it down to 53 and let 'em go.

Yeah, red, that 4-3 stuff is sweet. Makes a body tend to puff up with pride, just a bit. :DPages: 1
