Clarity Tech Challenge.... Round One Live Blog

A quick realtime update of Clarity's 10th Tech Challenge, Clarity Tecmo Bowl:

Matchup 1: Khalid Smith (1) vs. Simon Hughes (8):

An early FG by 85 bears (ksmith), answered by 80 yd. TD pass by the newcomer Soccer Hooligans....turnovers abound as a major upset is in progress....another 90 yard bomb....amazing!  The Englishman has stunned the world!  Final: Soccer Hooligans 38, 85 Bears 3

 

Matchup 2: Kevin Marshall/Ryan Powers (5) vs. Bryan Dougherty/Steve Holstad (4)

Our team, the MiniDitkas, vs Marshall & Powers "Greatest Show On Screen".  A battle of the titans, at least trash-talk wise...

Slaughtered.  35-0.  We're pretty sure some questionable ethics were involved, as they NEVER ONCE picked the wrong defense.... Shenanigans!!!!!

 

Matchup 3: Josh Simerman vs. Matt Ivers/Spencer Robinson:

A low scoring battle...defensives look pretty solid, although special teams decisions are questionable....The Notre Dame guys show their football pedigree as they start to wear down the 275 Lines defense.  A solid showing all around for the Domerlicious.  Total redemption for the USC/ND shocker.

Final Score:  Domerlicious - 29, 275 Lines - 0.

 

Matchup 4:  Mike Beverly & Lee Powers' "Boobsp0wndU" vs. Matt Eubank's "OMG LASERS PEW PEW PEW!!1":

Noobs are exploiting the OMG's lack of speed and/or brains on D.  Looks like Bev has gone from Dark Horse to strong contender.... A few monster passes here...Again the ND status pays off.  A good entry, though, by both teams.  these guys were undersold the whole way, we'll see how they fare in the rest of the tourney...

 

The Finals....

Domerlicious (Ivers/Robinson) vs. Greatest Show on Screen (kmarshall)

The title of Clarity Tecmo champ up for grabs....

Early turnovers by SHOS, but Domerlicious fails to capitalize...GSOS finally punches in a TD by exploiting the up/diagonal bug.... a killer.  Just too much rushing attack today. 

Constant northeastern running proves to be too much, 172 rushing yards lead Kevin to the title.

FINAL SCORE:  Greatest Show on Screen 20, Domerlicious 3.   Congrats Kevin & Powers.  Perhaps its time to sit back and reflect on your team's accomplishments!   <g>
