Week 9: Naughty

I wasn't around, but I heard there was lightning.  Here's the skinny results.

5.30

Guardin' Gnomes vs. Puff the Magic Jackalope

"Sorry to everyone playing at 7:00 yesterday - the kinetic energy and electricity from the 5:30 matchup between the Gnomes and Jackalopes must of stirred up a little something in the atmosphere.  Having to make multiple good decisions and consistant chilly throws during zone O created a surplus of unreleased craziness and holstered hucks.  This mixed with hard cutting and great D by both teams, all this energy created a nice little thunderstorm.  Our bad.  

Before we proceeded to truly 'make it rain':

• Jackawhaaaaats started the game holding onto a one break advantage until Gnomes went up 7-5.  
• A strong push from Jackalopes tied the game at 7's before Gnomes took half.  
• Jackalopes would have very likely taken the half had certain players not been strongly influenced to throw turnovers from sideline hecklers.  Seemed a good idea at the time.... the voice from the sideline seemed to only confirm my original intuition of 'Yes,  I DO have that throw'. We were both wrong.  
• After Garret throws ANOTHER awesome left handed cork-screwing hammer for a score, most of the team assumes this equates to a dramatic game-winning throw (refer to last week's write-up).  
• As basking in the glory of left handed hammers and the thrill of victory does not actually help much when the game is not actually over, Jackalopes quickly give up a point and the Gnomes take a 11-8 lead.
• Soft cap goes on sometime around now.
• Some of these points around now are pretty long.
• Jackalopes dig deep and claw back into a 11-9 game.  
• Seth gets a little manic again - accuracy of post-game write-up suffers.
• With a briliant, tow-the-line catch for score from Adrian, Jackalopes score another one!!!  This game is heating up!!!  They could do it!!!!  One more point for the tie!!!!  One more point for another thrilling universe point comeback win from the mighty Jackalopes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Wait, what?  Why are we shaking hands?  Hard cap went on that point... what?  Fuck.  Didn't hear that one.  " - Saggy
