The question on everyone's mind for the first game of winter football was, "How did I get talked into this?" Needless to say, it was a bit cold on Sunday, making it perfect football weather for the reconstituted Winter Commas.
And I will blame the "reconstituting" for what happened on the very first play, when the awesomely named Tebowners scored on a long pass to make it 6-0. A few minutes later, they scored again, putting Oxford in a deep hole. But the Commas slowly dug their way out, thanks to a stout defense led by Dan "I'm Your Best Defensive Player" Gonzo. Both Jane and Jenny snagged interceptions in the first half. Later, Jon made a big play to give Oxford their first first down of the game (shut up). A few plays after that, Dan scored by grabbing a tipped pass from Jane.
In the second half, after a really long pass to Iain, Oxford got another touchdown on a tipped pass thrown by Jane; this time, it was the newcomer Leia who made the heads-up play, while Jane acted as if she threw it that way on purpose. This made the score 19-18 Tebowners, and Oxford briefly took the lead when Kevin grabbed the two-point conversion. It would not last long; the Tebowners went up 25-20 with another score, but the Commas answered when Mike made a diving catch in the end zone. Will scored the conversion, making it 27-25 Oxford. With a minute left, the Commas tried to run out the clock, but it didn't quite work out as planned. So the Tebowners got the ball with a few seconds left, and attempted a Hail Mary pass; Kevin and Will knocked it to the ground, and Oxford sneaked away with the comeback win. With their strong showing, the rookies avoided another round of brutal hazing.
Unless he wins this weekend, I promise that this will be the only Inspirational Football Clip of the Week to feature Tim Tebow.
