Classic Contests Highlight IM Playoffs

The Intramural Flag Football regular season featured some highly memorable and chaotic games that will forever live in the minds of the players who participated in them and the referees who officiated them. Crab Cakes N' Football's hailstorm victory over the Shake N' Bakes, Phi Delt's near upset of Real Deal and SuperBad's victory over LNA that ended with an Eric Toribio screen pass for a 50-yard Gary Wu touchdown come to mind.

But if the playoffs continue to churn out classic games at this pace, those three regular season games will resemble the Giants' eyesore win over the Eagles last Sunday. Two out of the four playoff games last Monday were simply unforgettable, as the seventh-seeded Phi Tau A defeated the tenth-seeded Derrty Byrdz, 42-35 in the first round of the Division I playoffs. Also, ninth-seeded Killer Tofu avenged a regular season blowout loss to the eighth-seeded Transfertites by defeating them, 38-35 in the first round of the Division II playoffs. The 1-4 Phi Tau A squad had been struggling on the offensive end all season, ending most of their regular season games with only two or three touchdowns. It is unknown as to why the frat has suddenly morphed into the New England Patriots, but every Division I team should take notice. For the second straight game, the Derrty Byrdz almost upset an to upsetting a League A or B team, but the defense could not match their excellent offensive effort. Watch out for the Derrty Byrdz next season.

Killer Tofu started off the game with a bad omen, as Transfertites captain Christov "Vince Young" Churchward swept Killer Tofu captain Paul Kasabian in rock, paper, scissors for the second straight time this season. Fortunately for Tofu, the offense was in full swing on this day. The Transfertites were a man down the whole game, but Tofu QB Raipher Pellegrino posted a monumental effort by running for two scores and passing for three more. But that's not all. With Tofu up 21-14 and time running out in the first half, Pellegrino kicked a 40-yard field goal that curled inside the invisible left upright on Field 2. The Transfertites and Killer Tofu traded touchdowns in the second half, and Killer Tofu ran out the clock to seal the win. Bergen Catholic lacrosse and hockey legend Geoff Hauck and Chris Gonnella scored the majority of the Transfertites' scores. Max Weiss, Matt Matsumura, and Hassan Mohamed caught TD passes for Tofu. The Jolly Green Giant, Horace Greeley, and All-World center Paul Kasabian played their guts out, combining to make one-and-a-half tackles on the day and almost catching a pass or two during the game.
