“NCBB season 23 game 3
Rivalry game!

Played all game in the snow.

2nd half mistakes cost Karak 1st the possibility of a win, then gave away the tie.

1st half went pretty standard, the Horned Rats getting a quick 2 or 3-turn score, then the Techies of Karak barreling in for the tying score on turn 7. TCU could try for a 1-turn score, but one of their freshmen had not read the play book and was out of position, thus leaving them just short, so they didn't even try. Oh, I played spiked ball on the 1st drive, so of course we kick the ball out of the EZ. Ball only exchanged hands once after that.

2nd half begins badly, as Chance, our All-American blocker gets over confident and falls down on the 2st block of the half (Push, Skull.. I mis-clicked on Skull). As not other KAMU player had moved yet, the team was ill-positioned to stop the quick score by TCU. Larry did strip the ball away, pushing the BC next to the side line, but did not follow up. Should have pushed him into a square where the GR would have had to dodge in a TZ any way he went if Larry had followed up, This would have also put the ball in a TZ. So, now it looks very likely that the best Karak U. can do is get a tie. Things were looking up, had the ball secured. But Bo made a horrible choice with about 3 turns to go. He was prone next to their Rat Ogre. Instead of just getting up, he dodged away not noticing that that left the Big guy free to blitz Thopmson (who had the ball) out of bounds. This effectively stopped the Techie drive cold, though we had a chance on the last turn, but after getting the ball in a favorable position, Tim failed to dodge away. (he still needed a pick up roll and a short pass to Larry (possibly requiring 1 or 2 GFI"s, due to the snow), who would have had to catch the ball..so it wasn't likely, but possible at least. The Horned Rats had a chance to score as well, but failed to hand off the ball..so the final was 1-2 TCU.

Bo does get a skill. Probably will take Tackle, Guard or Juggernaught

1st loss of the season
1st game of the season that no dwarf was killed (or even hurt)
