100% in!!! I'll talk to Anthony too.

I have a good small tv for tecmo, system and 2 games. My paddles aren't the best so I wouldn't bring them.

Pumped, going to use the huge big screen again? I think it was working fine and that was cool.

I'll be coming up with chaos from NYC, and I'm sure he's talking with you about equipment.

I had a really fun time at this tournament.  It was great to see so many familiar faces and some new ones as well.  It was great to be honored and I really enjoyed the Naughty Nurse (first time I've ever had it, I'm a sucker for Amber Ales).  I went 3-0 in group play with the #1 seed and made it to the Final four of the winner's bracket, only to lose to Mort and Teta (who I had sent to the loser's bracket in the round of 16).  None of my games ended up being close in the 4th quarter, either on the winning or losing side.


 


My top 5 most memorable moments:


 


5) Tipped pass for an Interception. Only one of my top 5 moments that involves a game I played in was a game I played against Robbie in Group play.  I had the Bucs against his Rosenbach-led Cardinals.  Rosenbach throws a pass to the bottom receiver and both he and Haddix jump for it.  The cinema plays as if both are going up for the catch, but no icon appears over the receiver.  The cinema shows the receiver tipping the ball and the next thing I knew Haddix had the ball!  I had only seen this once before in my life, and this may be the first time ever that I have heard of that it has happened in Tourney play.


 


4) Duane Bickett's three INTs.  Scott called a Seahawks-Colts matchup against Kevin and showed how deadly the Colts defense could be.  Bickett had Kreig's number and picked him off three times.  It was pretty shocking to see, and also to see Kevin, who finished 2nd in Philly and 4th in NYC, be eliminated early.


 


3) Crazy CT battle. Pete and Erik faced off in the winner's bracket (DAL-PHX) and this game did not disappoint.  Tied 10-10 in the 4th, Pete was driving and inside Erik's 20 yard line.  Pete called three straight runs, and Erik picked his play each time.  The third time, Emmitt Smith fumbled and the defense recovered.  It looked like the Cards were going to house it, but a drone narrowly tackled the Cardinals player.  It set up a FG for Erik to win the game, only to have the FG blocked to send the game to OT.  In OT, Pete won the toss and never looked back. Erik, who finished 4th in CT last year and has placed in the top 3 in NYC the last three years, like Kevin, surprisingly went down early as well.


 


2) An all Buennagel finals.  The second time this has happened in live tourney history and both times happened in CT.  The exhausting drive must do something to these guys who play their best when in the Nutmeg state.  Lou was able to march his way through the loser's bracket after an early defeat in the Winner's bracket from his younger brother and won the first finals game.  Mort was down late to Lou in the second finals game, but Mort overcame this to win his third straight Cuban Tecmo Tourney.


 


1) Loser's Bracket Finals - Special Teams.  Scott's only loss in group play came to Lou after he was up 10-0 on him. Scott marched his way to the Winner's bracket finals, guaranteeing himself at least 3rd place.  After he fell to Mort, he would attempt his revenge against Lou in a Packers vs Saints matchup.  With this tight contest tied 7-7 in the 4th quarter, Scott completes a pass to bottom WR Perry Kemp, who takes it 70 yards to the endzone for the lead.  However, as any Tecmo veteran knows, kicking off to the Saints is always risky business.  Lou manages to get Heyward to take it all the way back to tie the score at 14-14.  Scott's Packers still have time and the Majik Man completes the same kind of pass to Perry Kemp that once gave him the lead.  The Packers drive to about the 10 yard line and set up for the FG.  Chris Jacke hesitates and the defender comes in, overruns the kicker and is BEHIND him when blocking the FG.  The Packers recover the block, but can't take it in.  The Saints win the toss in OT, get within FG range, and the rest is history.


 


Again, a great tourney, and I'd like to add my honorable mention moment: Why won't you die, QB Browns?!

Ty for Pete Dorsey (cuban tecmo)(guy in jason mask) and Erik Merliss (Arcn.) for running a great tourney. After a rather dangerous drive from buffalo to conn. we arrived in town around midnight. (snow in catskills really slowed us down and we nearly skidded off the road once). We helped set up and mort broadcast a bunch games which recorded for your viewing pleasure at http:www.twitch.tv/mort1237 (videos)

Minn would get all the breaks in the game. 1st drive minn gambles on 4th and 2 in 1st qtr...and get rick fenney cc on called pass play on 4th down. have to settle for a fg 3 plays later. Up 3-0 with marino starting to hit up..mia rb fumbles near midfield and minn scores there only td on ensuing drive up 10-0...they go on to win 13-7. Jim Teta really had a good tourney..sorry for the bad breaks in the game
