#128 BUMF vs #137 Allenville Federal Penitentiary Mean Machine - Beat BUMF 2 weeks ago in Ladder, lost to RI in early Ladder play
#212 Big Bone vs #216 Erkner Razorbacks - one of the newer teams, gone 1-2 in ladder so far.

#34 Alpine vs #25 Taylor Gang
#71 SoA vs #80 Chicago Bruins
#178 RI vs #167 Chicago Bucks - Bucks on Bucks. Chicago beat Big Bone a few weeks back.

#23 Zorp vs #26 Bellingham Blazers
#4 Funday vs #1 Maine Snails - Funday's shot at the champs; Maine is the last undefeated team standing at 15-0, and beat South Otto 14-7 last week.
#138 STP vs #133 Memphis Cheetahs
#78 Benitos vs #81 San Diego Longhorns

Zorp and Benitos already won this morning.
Zorp got to 21 the hard way, with 2 TDs, a FG, and 2 Safeties to finish 21-0.
Benitos held on 10-7 as their opponents ran out of time on the last drive as they got into FG range, but the clock ran out as they spiked the ball to set up for the FG try.

South Otto lost on a 4th Q TD and this play to finish their final drive: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/7242/1170273

Rhode Island rolled up on Chicago, putting up all 16 points in the 2nd Q, and going for over 400 yards while holding Chicago to under 150.

Alpine gets into FG range near the end of regulation: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/7197/1183663
but it went wide, sending the game to OT. http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/7197/1183706
After a stand right at the edge of FG range on D, alpine marches down the field, and then QB David Lime does this:

and followed it up with: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/7197/1183968 to seal the win.

STP won their game 6-0 where neither team could get the offense going enough to find the endzone, and going 2 for 3 on FGs was better than going 0 for 2. STP's D kept Memphis pretty far out and even the FG tries were 40+ yards, while STP was able to go for a few chip shots and even managed to invoke the usually-only-see-in-GLB-games "missed FGs inside the 20 give the ball to the opponent on the 20 yard line" rule on their miss.

Man, every other league sucks.

The league is up to 94 as the average rank now. I think that is the highest we have been.

I thought about gameplanning... but said fuck it. Let it ride.

I don't think game planning is allowed in GLB2.

wuzzat?

Gotham got drubbed by the Bees 24-0, BUMF went down 27-3 to Allenville.
SoA won their game pretty much by the same formula that STP used - kick a couple of field goals and smothering defense. SoA didn't even give up a FG try.

Powers is still simming; Big Bone plays late tonight and Funday plays even later in their top team showdown.

It's that thing you didn't do in GLB1

set defaults.

engage warpdrive.

I don't think gameplanning was allowed over here...

I haven't gameplanned once, but I figured it'd be fun to try and do something different to knock off the last undefeated team.

Should sim in an hour though.

Powers took a beating, 38-0.
Big Bone was a little closer; keeping it tied at zero through halftime before finally giving up a pair of TDs and losing 14-0.

Alpha went 0-4; Beta went 3-1. Gamma is 3-0 and Funday about to start.
