hawkeye98

yea another great tourney guys, just wanted to thank everyone that drove especially! we had gerry from iowa city, luke and travis from nebraska, ira and excell from kc, and especially tom from minnesota.  overall just a great bunch of guys at this years tourney.  too bad i didnt play like last year but ira played a great tourney and played a lot of really tough competitors to win the 2nd title here at the venue.

 

if i forgot someone that drove in sorry just wanted to say thank you for spending time and gas money on this event.  means a lot to justin and I for sure.

lol justin  I would never say that ha ha

lol justin  I would never say that ha ha

yea that is a good idea, ill ask noonan also he lives in the area and maybe justin can drive down.  but live practice is great.  let me know what your thinking for place.

yeah peters and I should make it, ill try to get my brother to play also.

Heard anything from the Harlan gang (nichols/dotz) or Tony (dotdon)?  Those guys can play too.  I'll bug them about it and Craig/Tick too, they need to be there.

 

Yeah, I've played Art twice in tourney play losing both.  He plays you close, but you are never really in the game with him if that makes sense.  Somehow I missed Hawkeye in both the last 2 tourneys even though we both made the final 4s.  Got a feeling that is about to change next week.  

 

This should be fun, might have to TPC (gasp) to get ready.

is there an update to tourney?  I need to know numbers so i can see if I can take off saturday with family and drive up with peters.

great tourney guys and thanks again for coming!  sorry I didn't post yesterday was very busy with kids all day...my daughter decided to take the permanent marker we used for tourney and draw all over the kitchen walls....ugh  next time I put things away when I get home and don't wait until next day...

 

as for games..Like i said before I was going to record and post on my youtube channel but my battery went dead during final 4 game between moulds and gridiron,   Ill try to go off memory here...

 

Pete and Tom..brothers played in loser bracket..I watched most of this game...KC vs BEARS   very good game with all you can hear is the tapping ability of tom and pete amazing!  but for game play it came down to a 4th quarter drive for pete to put away his brother.

 

Travis and Pete played next omg what a game no score until 4th I think and then pete hits a crazy 100 yard jj to tie up game, where moulds drove easily down to the 20 but fumbled in ot where pete ended up scoring after to end the game.

 

next game was tony and Pete...everyone knows pete is a very good player but tony is equally as good if not better..just does not play online, as for matchup pete wins toss and selects giants vs 49ers...tony takes 49ers of course...he takes early 21-0 lead on some good plays but a lucky jj to end 2nd quarter to taylor, start of 3rd gridiron drives and scores 21-7, he does onside kick, gets the onside!!! then drives and scores again 14-21 now....he tries to onside but misses kick meter and kicks it full, ends up stopping tony on downs I think on a pa deflection by LT, so now 4th quarter and a chance to tie up game after being down by 21!!  He drives to about the 40 I think and tries to throw to end zone but get int by lott to end rally, great game by both competitors very fun watching strong players play live also,   I'm excited to watch regulator and chet next year in madison, 

 

now that leads into finals, tony J vs me hawkeye98, I win toss and select seattle vs patriots..(reason being I've been practicing this match up all week, so I felt comfortable with both teams)  Tony takes Patriots which I figured he would with strong defense compared to seattle, very sluggish game I get a early fumble by him and get field goal, I also drove down to the 10 but settled on fg as well so I lead 6-0 at halftime  he gets ball to start and gets jj to 10 yard line but I make a stand and get a 4th down and 5 int in the endzone, I drive down to the 20 or so but throw a horrible pick on pass play 2--I tried to throw across the field!ugh horrible decision and he gets ball back now, drives down again but I stop him on downs at the goal line again!! this time I baited him to think I was throwing short but throw long pass to blades to end game.   Great games vs all competitors

 

some memorable games I played was probably against craig in round 2...my hardest game to win I thought based on circumstances...he picked chiefs vs bears I took chiefs and totally shut down his running game with anderson and bailey  but I fumble twice one for td!! ugh lol   I ended up winning by 3 points I think but just a very hard fought game--I believe he told me he finished 2nd to chet in a tourney a few years ago and only lost in ot so a very good player.

 

next round I played pete and only won by 3 also with browns vs packers 10-7 I think just a very well played game by both players, 

 

my first matchup vs tony I won also but very tough and won by 7 I think...

 

 

Thanks again everyone for coming out..I updated website yesterday though, take a look and hopefully I didnt mess up stats that much...

Great tourney, great food and great people. Was really fun.  I'll recap my day.
Speaking of the jump tip INT, I had one in a practice game before the tourney.  My opponent jumped to catch it, it went to the grab screen, only he didn't grab it, he just tipped it on that screen.  Back to the game screen where my guy (I forget who it was) INT'd it.  The ball wasn't tipped on that screen though, just looked like an overthrown pass.  Weird.
Game 1:  vs. Khris K.  I pick Lions v. Vikings, he calls Vikings.  We are tied at 10 w/2 min. left and he goes for a FG.  I block it w/Cofer but Fuad RRRRRRReveiz picks it up and you know the rest.  My 40 yd JJ  heave at the buzzer is INTd and I lose 17-10.
Game 2:  vs. IRAM from KC.  PIcks KC v. SF, I pick SF.  I'm ahead 24-17 late and he hits a 80 yd JJ on 4th and 10 to tie it and force OT.  I punt on the first possession, but he fumbles on the first play as he tries to get out of bounds.  I kick a FG and win 27-24.
Game 3:  vs. JJ.  He wins toss and picks Min-LARams.  I choose Rams.  I'm up 14-0 at half, but he battles back and ties the game with 3 min. left.  I drive and kick a FG at buzzer.  Win 17-14.
Tourney Game 1:  vs. Excell.  He picks Hou-SF.  I pick SF.  Lott absolutely dominates and I put up 35.  Cant remember exact final.
Tourney Game 2:  vs. Tick (Travis .  He picks NYG-SF.  Again my offense is unstoppable and I drop 35 again.  Can't remember final.
Tourney Game 3:  vs. Tom B (8 Bit).  I pick Atl-TB. I took entire 1st Qtr to go up 7-0, 8bit answers in 3 plays.  7-7.  I hit Rison in stride for a bomb burning his CB for a 14-7 lead.  I think 8bit scored a FG before the half for 14-10, but I did another superlong drive to go up 21-10 in the fourth to put it away.
Tourney Game 4:  vs. Khris K (rematch).  Khris K picks Sea-NE.  I take NE, and knew this would be a squeaker the whole way.  I hold him to a FG early, and tie it up.  I finally break through for a 2nd half TD and hold on for the 10-3 win. 
Tourney Game 5 (winner bracket final)  vs. Jeremy.  I call TB-Phx, and he takes TB.  Defensive struggle the whole way, Jeremy finally breaks through late in the 2nd half and beats me 10-3.
Tourney Game 6 (loser bracket final) vs. Pete B.  He calls NYG-SF.  People kept giving me SF throughout the day (I don't recommend doing that FYI).   I made one stop and had two great drives to lead 14-0.  Key play was end of 1st half.  I INT'd a JJ attempt at the end zone with 5 seconds left, giving me one play.  I heave an 80 YD JJ to John Taylor and instead of it being 14-7 or 14-0 at half it was 21-0.  Big swing.  Pete did great in the 2nd half w/a TD and onside TD so it was 21-14 without me doing an offensive play.  But I made a key stop late and added a Brent Jones TD for 28-14 win.
Finals Game:  vs. Jeremy.  he recapped it well.  I held him to FGs and an INT in the end zone, but couldn't capitalize when I was inside the 10 both times.  Threw an INT to Haddix on the 5 and couldn't punch it in from the 10 w/four shots.  Jeremy played great and was tough to score on.
Fun times.

Somehow I forgot to mention the crazy "tipped JJ, INT" that happened during group play.  I can't remember who was playing, but there were about 4-5 of us watching when it happened.  It was a MIN/WAS game, player 2 was WAS and threw the pass from Rypien to Kelvin Bryant on a Pass 2 play (single back where RB 2 does a fly route).  So Rypien heaves it about 25 yards down field and Bryant goes up for the JJ catch....but he drops the JJ and tips it right to the waiting arms of Joey Browner who was standing about 8-10 yards farther down field.  Browner's positioning was a little bit lower on the screen and the ball was still spiraling when he caught it and it was like he was a black hole sucking it in.  Has Bruddog or anyone figured out how/why these happen?  It was like seeing BigFoot, but nobody caught it on camera.  

 

This supposedly happened at the Waterloo tourney last December too, but I didn't get to see that one.  I just heard the reaction from everybody who did and if I recall correctly, it was Rod Woodson who caught that one.  So maybe it has to be a super high INT player?
