Week #7 - Upset? Who's Upset?

Week
#6 - Thankspicking Weak
14-10-2003
This week I did not have the 'opportunity' to play as I was away in Chapeau. Although there was many away for the Thanksgiving weekend, the recruting went well to fill the missing spots. Joey brought two of his IWS friends while Maurice Beaudin made a comeback as he is visiting from Calgary. Here is where the good news ends. The game, captained by Joey and Mike Benk was a wash out. The Benker's did not have a first down all game, a new SOMD low. The score was a mercy rule: 18-0. Next week promises to be a great week with everyone returning and Gumbo to boot. Sorry no pictures this week.
Week #5 - Here is the Pounding Rain 05-10-2003
As good as the weather was in week 4, week 5 proved to be the rotten one. Firstly, the rain, wind and cold were enough to keep 4 people from showing up. They will be tagged as the fair weather four until they have played a game in foul weather. They are: Mike Benk, Brendan Brooks, Glen Morris and Steve Deschamps. Secondly, the city of Two-Mountains did their usual best to piss us off by recovering the field with a layer of earth. The term earth is used loosely here as rocks and branches were abundant among the supposed earth. Not only did this remove all the lines that were barely visible before but with the rain it made for quite the Tide commercial. To top it off, look at the picture below to see how well the city spread this earth. Oh Yeah, the game? It was a hard fought game where the Red team finally scored a touchdown after threatening for most of the 2nd half. Final score 12-7 Red with beans and hot dog under the lean two's. Followed by a couple of beers at the Tartan Pub where is was a little drier.

The day started as usual. At little
brisk, but before long there were 22 people there ready for a game. The
captains were picked, Maurice and Paddy sat and picked the teams for
the day. Then came the announcement: 'O.k. Red Team' shouted Paddy, '
Marc, Mark, Rollie, Gary, Dale...etc". What had Maurice done? Was he
asleep during the picking? Vegas odds people soon declared the Red team
21 point favorites. We figured that it was a plot to finish the game
using the mercy rule. That way we could
start eating Tommy's Gumbo earlier.
Well the game started and somehow the White team managed to not only
beat the spread but also to win the game. This week was also the
first game that Dale Rose and Gary Nixon played trying to qualify for
the Grey Cup November 1st. Dale was the first time he ahad woken up
early enough to play while Gary had been playing in the young fruit
league until then. There was also another rookie in the line up Patrick
Macdonald who intecepted a pass to end the game. Lowlight of the game:
Maurice touching Marc Larose
to try to get him to drop a touchdown pass. Highlight of the game Paul
Goyetche's 60 yard interception for touchdown while leaving Jamie
Gibson in the dust. The Gumbo was fantastic. Next week; Bring on the
chili and the keg. We will be picking the Grey Cup teams
