“This game was a lot closer than it looked. The first half was pretty evenly matched, with both teams swapping touchdowns and casualties and coming out roughly even in the bargain. (The Puppy Kickers notched more fouls and casualties, but were slightly undermanned to begin with; the Ratsketeers' deep bench came into play in a big way.)

But then, the second half got underway and things went sour for the Kickers. After a passing touchdown from the Rats, the first kickoff taken by the Kickers turned into a quick-strike takeaway touchdown for the Rat squad when the Kickers' receiving player was distracted by some dreadful blocking downfield. The next kickoff saw a blitzing Ratsketeer team catch their own kickoff for another quick score.

The score up 4-1, the Kickers needed a miracle to punch their way back in when enthused Ratsketeer fans, unused to seeing their team doing so well, stormed the field and ended the game with a riot.

Freddy "Fists of Fury" Fernison was the hero for the Kickers, notching three rat scalps and making a very pretty hat out of Rat Ogre Unca Scourge's digestive tract.

Tough game for my opponent. Don't believe the 64% luck; Nuffle was scowling on him in a big way that second half.”
