Week 2: TT Swamp Donkeys in MNFF

Hey guys,

I'm back after a great night with the girls of Theta and a slight hiatus from writing to bring you up to speed on the Thirsty Turtle Swamp Donkeys.  After domination in week one, a similar outcome was the result of the game this past Monday.  The Swamp Donkeys met the Grass Fairies on Comcast turf on an unusually mild October evening this week, but the game was everything but mild.  In Cluck-U terms, the Swamp Donkeys' offense was at the very least Thermo Nuclear.  The Swamp Donkeys were rumblin, stumblin and bumblin down the field on every offensive possession.  The Grass Fairies were unprepared and were simply no match for the juggernaut that is the TT Swamp Donkeys.

Led by Dave Griffith at quarterback, the offense piled on 28 points against the Grass Fairies who had shut out their opponent in week one of the season.  Through the air, on the ground, the Donkeys were unstoppable.  Everyone on the field was a threat and Griffith was able to find everyone with ease.  Every member of the offense had at least one touch, and the Grass Fairies had no chance from the get-go.

If the offense wasn't enough, the defense held the Grass Fairies to a measly 6 points, stopping them on the extra point attempt.  The Swamp Donkeys kept the opposing offense guessing, and even forced the Fairies to switch quarterbacks 2 times in order to get some sort of offensive production.  It was to no avail, as the Swamp Donkey's recorded a pair of interceptions, and put suffocating pressure on the quarterback throughout the game.  As for special teams, team captain Ben Cobleigh had an 80-yard punt return for a touchdown, ducking and weaving through and around defenders, showing surprising speed considering the length of his legs.

Overall, the Swamp Donkeys continued their complete and utter domination of their league, and they look to continue the trend this upcoming Monday, November 2 at 8pm under the lights at Comcast Fields.  The TT Swamp Donkeys will face off against the ZBT B! squad who has a record of one and one after a win this past week against Where's Dan.  ZBT B! lost in week one to the Underdogs, and sit in the middle of the league tied with four other teams.  A lost this week would almost certainly knock them out of the playoffs.  As it stands, the Swamp Donkeys are the only undefeated team in MensB7 and can seal a spot in the payoffs with a win this week.

So come out and support the team with some friends this Monday at the Comcast Turf Fields.

Until next time, as always,

NEVER PULL OUT!
