A tale of two halves is an apt description for this game as the Terrapins continue to live up to the 'Terrible' in their name. The Terrapins started the game receiving the game, David easily snapping up the ball (a week of practice picking up the ball seems to have paid off) and moving swiftly down the field, gleefully dodging the attempts of the various humans to try and tackle him down. Although it looked like they would take an easy 1-0 lead into half time, the drive started to fall apart when Alessandra fell to the Ogre's fist forcing David to jump into the endzone for his first career touchdown.

"We had to score," David said afterwards, who made up for his abysmal first game performance with a TD and a successful foul of a lineman. "Being down a saurus is tough but even at that point we thought we had it. I have to say though, it felt good to get that first touchdown under my belt, hopefully the first of many. Felt only slightly better than putting my foot into that slimy hummie's face..."

While the game looked still winnable, it was then that things took a turn for the worse. First, a time out by the opposing couch stopped play and allowed the human team just enough time to weasel into the endzone and tie up the game. Then the second half had Harmony, the Terrapin's loveable Krox, forget that there was a game to play.

"I just started smelling the flowers," the Krox was heard saying after the game while being berated by their coach. "I forgot where I was..." It has been noted by Harmony's English teacher that 'The Story of Ferdinand' is his favorite book with several reports written about it, many focusing on the mother (who was a cow).

Needless to say, without their loveable big guy for four turns the Terrapins could not stop the relentless advance of the humans. However, even with all of that, the last two turns gave the Terrapins a chance for the tie. A pickup and quick handoff put the Terrapins in scoring position, allowing only the slightest gap for the humans to stop the drive. Alas, it was not meant to be as the humans continued to dodge like elves and seal the win.

"Its a disaster," coach Lancelott was heard saying after the game. "We played well but sometimes that's not enough. We need something quick to spark this team or this is going to be a long season..."

We'll just have to wait to see how Terrible this season will be...
