Rain Bowl 3- Attack of the Espejo's

Just showing up at the field, everybody knew it was going to be a nasty day of rain.  Red won the toss, but deferred possession to Blue

On the opening drive, Steve threw a pass intended for Aaron at the goal pline, which was tipped by both Aaron and Earl and finally intercepted by Rich.The game went scoreless for 3 possessions each, before Blue finally scored on a fairly long passing play to Eric. As rotator, Eric then played for Red on their next series and scored on the second play of the series.  3 plays later, Eric again scored. This time for Blue, putting them back up by 1 score. Red 7 - Blue 14

 After a lot more good defense, the scoring started to come fast and furious as 5 more TD's were scored before half time.  3 of them by Earl and 2 more by Eric.  Red 28 - Blue 28

The second half is unfortunately very hazy, but it featured Touchdowns finally being scored by someone other than an Espejo.  Rich had one, Jon had two, Aaron had two and Newbie Edwin had one as well.  Even though there were more scores in the first half than in the second, a ton of good defense was played as well, including a sack by the All Time Career Leader Donnie Conty and interceptions by Edwin and Jon.

With all the scoring the final tally ended with Red winning by 3 touchdowns.

Quote of the Game:

Everybody at some point: "That's what she said"

Eric: "No, I don't want anyone to score but me!" (When explaining why he didn't throw to a wide open Aaron, after he'd scored the game's first 3 TDs)

Rich: "Where will you be when your diarrhea comes back?" (Mocking the Imodium AD commercial, every time someone's pants got muddy after a fall)

Manny: "You could do the 'lawnmower'..." (Demonstrating a "pull-start lawnmower" gesture to Rich, as a potential sack dance to keep within the theme of "lawn care devices")

Play of the Game:

Eric: Having his hand in 9 Touchdowns

Earl: Scoring 5 touchdowns with half the offense time as Eric.
