=================

I started the game off with a Blitz! (against me) and absolutely atrocious luck. I fumbled the ball for a few turns while the Vamps made their slow crawl down the field towards me. Fortunately, for me, that changed shortly into the game.

I have quite literally never seen someone throw as many double skulls. Yes, that means he had a whole lot of 2 die blocks against me and yes, that means I probably wasn't playing a good rat-like game, but... wow.

He literally had 4 or 5 of them. I know at least 2 were on the first block of his turn (if not necessarily the first move of his turn. Gluck knows how to play smart, at least).

This game was really a lot closer than it looks. The 3rd point was on a lucky turn 8 play (set up by him rolling double skulls to start his drive). The second point was off a dropped ball that would have inevitably been a score (2+ catch failed) and was only kept alive by a failed GFI to blitz the ball carrier. I suppose if he wouldn't have failed the GFI, it would have been double skulls anyway...

Gluck was a trooper and put up with this ugly turn of events with grace. In fact, we both kept blowing rolls and it was kinda fun to watch, in a Special Olympics kind of way. My rolls just weren't quite as "special" and I came up with the win.

Thanks for the game, Gluck. Another time (and another team!) we'll have a rematch and maybe we can get a real game in.”
