Wayne
vs. Wanaque - The Rain Game
Wayne victorious in one of the best games we've seen in a while. You heard all the talk, you've seen what was on the line, but when it was time to walk the walk, we see who has the guts and determination, and who has, well, Moran.
The time was set 2 pm, the conditions were far from
perfect. The temperature dropped to 35 degrees, the rain came down harder
than an erection, and the mud was abundant. Wayne called up Wanaque to
tell them we weren't backing down and to meet at our field around 2:30ish.
After an extended wait and a brief firework show by LJ, Wanaque and their
freshly manicured players finally showed up at 3:15. Wayne was already
wet, muddy, freezing, and their thoughts already off the high staked game.
One would think Wayne would have just taken victory, but we still took the
challenge.
The game started off a little slow, with Wanaque taking the
early lead. Even though Wayne's own fans were rooting against them and
even subtracting points from their own team, Wayne's hopes were always set on
victory. In a game to 7, the team hitting 6 first has a major
advantage. Well unfortunately for Wayne, Wanaque hit the sacred 6, with
Wayne on having a wimpy 4. Wayne had a little miscue and Wanaque had their
first chance at glory. BJ picked up the frisbee and threw a short pass to
Moran; Moran already seeing two of his players wide open in the end zone, forgot
that he still hadn't caught the frisbee. The frisbee dinked off his manly
chest, through his womanish fingers and fell to the ground. Territo picked
up the frisbee and lofted it to Valentine to cut the lead to one. This is
the turning point of the war. Wanaque couldn't stop yelling at Moran for
blowing it and forgot all they had to do was score on their next
possession. BJ misfired once again to give Wayne another chance. I
think this is where Valentine fired it to Martello in the back of the end zone
to tie the game. Now 7-7, Wayne's 'bee... The intensity was felt
throughout the field, the game was close to over and the true champion and chump
would emerge soon. About a hour after the first throw off, everyone was
soaked in rain/mud and the pace of the game couldn't be quick, with the rain
coming down harder than before. Wayne got the throw off - from Martello to
Tahan to Valentine to Territo. Territo threw a quick pass to Mcclane in
the end zone, unfortunately for Wayne, Mcclane blew it and dropped it. Now
hopes down, Mcclane looking to be the scapegoat if Wayne lost, but something
from down under made Mcclane glide through the air, ass first into BJ's abdomen.
BJ dropped the pass and Corey picked up the frisbee in their end zone and
practically handed it to Tahan (?) to make it 8-7. Wanaque still
bewildered on how Wayne was finally ahead in the game didn't know what to do. I
think BJ threw another pass into the ground to give Wayne the opportunity at
those sexy pictures of Moran. I can't remember who threw the final pass,
someone fill me in, but the frisbee looked as it was going in slow mo into
Valentine who was closely covered by Chuck. I thought the collision was
going to be fatal. As the frisbee disappeared between the two, Chuck made
a miraculous dive and slid a good five feet. The only problem was,
Valentine, equipt with women's garden gloves, had the frisbee!
Wanaque fucking blew
it. They came late, they had the lead late - but in the end, the true
champions came through. So Wayne (Martello, Mcclane (subbed for Boniface
early in the game), Tahan, Territo, and Valentine) embarrassed the big-headed
Wanaque (BJ, Moran, Chuck, Brad, and Bauer (sp?)) Although Wayne was
heavily favored and always will be - Wanaque had the shot of pulling off a big
upset on Wayne's home field, but blew is drastically. Good game to both
sides - as it was probably one of the best games of history between the two
teams.
