November 07: CONSANGUINITY: An anticlimactic finish to the dream season as "Consanguinity" dismantled the opposing teams in the semi's (31-12) and final's (36-18) to win an unprecedented intramural championship. Not bad for a bunch of med school nerds. Gameball goes to Don Erikson who kept clinching his championship t-shirt after the game with tears in his eyes and kept muttering "I've never won anything before." October 31: CONSANGUINITY: First round of tourney and the first time "Consanguinity" found themselves down in a football game after the MSI team jumped out to an early 7-0 lead. We never looked back though as we implemented BYU's short pass, ball control offense to pick apart the opposing defense on route to a 21-14 victory. Gameball goes to Jared Tyler for putting flag-football in front of his family by disregarding his wife's pleading to skip the game so that he could take his kids trick-or-treating. October 17: CONSANGUINITY: The long anticipated inter-MSII match-up had arrived. We don't know if it was the intimidation from J.L. wearing a L instead of an XL shirt or if it was nervousness from having Dr. Stensaas roming the sidelines, but "On-Call" had some timely dropped passes which opened the door for a convincing "Consanguinity" victory 21-7. Luckily, even after Ian Lindsay's relentless taunting to Trace Caton, there were no punches thrown. The only drama was watching the other team implode as Kurtis Ellis's ego become too big and he was overheard blaming the loss on Sterling Riggs for "not throwing him the damn ball more!" October 10: CONSANGUINITY: Clockwork! Consanguinity wins 27-6. October 03: CONSANGUINITY: The brotherhood of the team was evident as we dismantled the "law school" flag-football team 46-20. Everybody contributed to the blow-out, even Mac Machan probably. Don Ericson looked especially ballerina-esque on his pass rush as he would lower his shoulder into the blocker, spin, and then dive for the Q.B.'s flags. Mark Hansen realized that he could do more than just study as he snuck behind the defense multiple times for big receptions. The gameball goes to Mcintyre who put the "Steele" dagger into their ambulance chasing backs with an interception returned for a T.D. in the second half. September 26: CONSANGUINITY: Were finally clicking on all cylinders as they utilized their team speed and throttled their stunned opponents 40-6. With out Eliza there to distract him, Ben Johnson dominated with 4 long TD receptions and 1 beautiful open field tackle. Unfortunately, the game ended prematurely when the other team decided that since they couldn't beat us in football they would try to beat Porter's face in instead. Sid Baucom gets the gameball for saving Porter's life. September 19: CONSANGUINITY: After realizing at gametime that Dave Ludlow was going to be a no-show, Porter Jones confidently stepped in at QB and was the hero in leading "Consanguinity" to a crushing defeat of the MSI team 14-6. He did so by completing 14 of 18 passes without a single spiral. The gameball went to Mac Machan who caught his first T.D. pass in 2 intramural seasons. Unfortunately the catch didn't count because Sid Baucom leveled a defender to the ground on the play. September 12: ON CALL won their first game 33-12. Yaw Adjei-Poku ran for one TD, Brady Wilkinson caught one TD, Dustin Dayton caught one TD and Sterling Riggs ran for two TD's and threw two TD's. Kurtis Ellis had an interception as well. CONSANGUINITY: It took a half to wipe off the offensive rust, but thanks to an intricate blitz package organized by Ben Johnson the defense led the way to an 8-6 opening day victory. The gameball went to Ian Lindsay who after allowing the ball to bounce off his neck, chest, and biceps femoris (which was looking huge by the way) caught the game winning touchdown in the waning minutes. Trevor Jacobsen sealed the deal with a clutch 2 point conversion grab.
