| Game Summary (Larry Smith, NetFL Press) The football gods smiled down upon the SC franchise this weekend. A wounded team was provided the perfect elixir, LLL, at an opportune time. Because, if it had been anyone else but the offensively challenged LLL, every SC player would be changing their ring tones to Taps this morning. Luckily, SC ran into an opponent with much less margin for error than themselves, or they'd no doubt be nursing the losing column with yet another embarrassing loss. One big reason that SC can exhale today is that LLL was talent-deficient enough to lose control of a game they had a chance to win. They looked so inept as they dragged a stick of dynamite during the game and electrocuted the dog with a toaster - metaphorically speaking. The score of 52-37 in front of a jeering and hostile crowd for SC was aided by a ferocious defense, but even larger was the help provided by a reeling opponent that constantly pushed the wrong personnel buttons. No wonder the inept LLL have been such a welcome sight in opposing stadiums for so long. SC sure caught them on the right day. It's doubtful that the SC defenders could have corralled a grandmother strolling across the field with the same ease as they did the LLL quarterback. "Instead of him looking down the field, he was looking to see who was coming," said Jon Beason with 16 points on defense, a huge smile on his face. "Let's just say he got rattled a little bit." Still, SC might not have escaped without a goto player to energize the offense - LLL's very own Jo-Lonn Dunbar. He was relentlessly victimized, continuously torched play after play before the LLL coaching staff mercifully pulled him, as he played about as well as a frog pithed by an epileptic first-grader. "Picking on Jo-Lonn Dunbar was a part of the game plan," Matt Jones with 29 points on offense said. "We should have been doing it more in the first half of the game." How true. When a NetFL team needs a pick-me-up, they can usually count on LLL to deliver. SC leads the all-time series 9-4 against LLL. SC has a 3-5 regular season record. LLL has a 4-4 regular season record. "Dem's fightin' woids!": Fuel was added to the fire during the two teams' post game news conferences. Matthew R. Watson blathered, "Thinking about them forces me to draw parallels between them and the Bulgarians." He was quick to add, "Erm, the Byzantine Empire had to deal with those clods... made themselves quite a nuisance 'til Basil crushed 'em and cut their eyes out - well, he left a couple of 'em with one eye so's they could guide the others home. I can't help but think that motivations such as that would help their cause." In response, the LLL coach whined, "That owner of theirs kinda reminds me of a Matt Millen and Michael Jackson hybrid... all bluster, melting face, questionable personal tastes... not exactly the kind of person I'd invite to my child's birthday party." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
