Man-Bear-Pig vs. Funky Fly Foenixes
Calvinosaurs vs. Puff the Magic Jackalope
"Having arrived fashionably late, I missed the first 7 or so points of the game against Man-Bear-Pig. But word on the street is that it started out as a very sloppy match up with far more turnovers than points. The FFFs struggled to coordinate our short game but had some pretty sexy defense and a baller deep game that wound up shutting the Men-Bears-Pigs down." Rachel Winner
Foenixes 12 - 9 Man-Bear-Pig
"In a night punctuated with amazing comebacks and thrilling universe points; what better way to start off than showing up late and getting soundly thumped? I can think of many... however, at the time it was pretty damn enjoyable as Adrian got open like a birthday present and Clark went long like a something that is long. I will treasure always the lessons I learned from this game:
- Ryan Sitler is fast.
- So is Ryan Bell.
- Ann Araps is faster than both of them.
- I have no earthly idea how to handle a 'Stall' call conflicting with a 'Foul' on the throw that would have negated the stall. Except for it was Strazzer, so I figured he traveled anyway and deserved a good arguing with to boot. " - Saggy

Puff the Magic Jackalope vs. Funky Fly Foenixes
"(before this rambling starts: what about Birdo's crazy catch on DanMan in the endzone!!!! How did he catch that?!)
In a night originating with surprised time checks, frantic gathering of ultimate gear, and late arrivals, Dan 'Mother[edit]er' Kenny shows up to join said huddle. The addition of another handler gave us the thrilling edge we needed to run Ho stack and slowly fall behind 5 points.
Sparked by a flurry of incomplete deep throws from Dan the Man 'I'm-pretty-sure-the-7th-huck-
- Puff rallies back to tie the game at 10's! (Seth is pretty manic at this point, not sure how accurate the synopsis is)
- Puff goes up 11-10!
- Foenixes tie the game at 11's!
- Soft cap sounds! Game to 13!
- Puff goes up 12-11!
- Unable to hear Seth's pre-pull pump up speech: "This is our point! Let's make it the last point of the game" - Foenixes score the tying goal! (sneaky breakmark high release backhand from Birdo)
- Fulfilling Puff's 'make every throw 100%' universe point vow: Garret 'right-hand-submissive' Earhart throws a left handed cork-screwing hammer to Dan 'every-throw-to-me-is-100%' Kenny to win the game - Thrilling! - YAY!" - Ibid.
Jackalope 13 - 12 Foenixes
Stackin' Kraken vs. Nessie
"Perfect weather for two spectacular and totally real creatures in the Kraken and LochNess. In "The Battle of Ocean Lure" the Krakens took a fast lead and then got really happy and then forgot how to play and then lost the lead and consequentially lost half 8-6. 2nd half didn't go the Krakens way either at the beginning, but when the score got to 11-8 in favor of the Nessies, Kraken hunkered down and brought it to a 11-11 tie and to universe point. The point was a bit testy as most universe points can be. But after a few "contests" and "no-contests" the Krakens pulled it out with a scary throw and catch to the side of the end zone that was disputed. Fortunately the ladies and gentlemen of Nessie are honest and great sports and called Kraken in bounds without any doubt." - Adam Morgan
Kraken 12 - 11 Nessie

Lil' Griffins vs. Blue Oxen of Minch
"The Blue Oxen of Minch decided this week that it would be cool to score in the 2nd half. After going down 8-4, then 14-7, the UNCA lead Minch pulled off their second epic comeback of the week, finishing on a 7-0 run to win 15-14. A wonderfully high spirited game with lots of exciting plays, FOR THE FANS!!!" - Seanboy
Blue Oxen 15 - 14 Griffins
Chupagoyles vs. Guardin' Gnomes
"Wednesday morning was cold, and the Chupagoyles awoke knowing it was going to be a game of chilly offence against the Gaurdin' Gnomes that night. And so it was; the the Gnomes threw some very effective man and zone defenses that kept the points close, with many opportunities to score for both team. Chupagoyles ended up pulling out a win after briefly forgetting how to score and letting the gnomes go on a 4 point streak late in the game." - Amy Allen
Chupagoyles 15 - 10 Guardin' Gnomes
So here's our records:
Calvinosaurs 3 - 6
Stackin' Kraken 4 - 5
