** This finals match deserves a Blog entry copy of the prediction thread, it was that epic **

** Milford from the Championship match of the Crown of Sand **

Oh, my FUMBBL fans what a titanic clash of titans! This one will go down into the history books as one of the best finals matches of all time.

Sons of Brutus, champions of Humanity gave it their all, put it all out there in one titanic effort on the pitch.

So many chances, so many clutch plays by Schnucken. This match was destined for OT.

OT did not disapoint but the defense of the chaos scumm was too stout. Destiny was at hand in a Shoot Out.

The fans where confused, no idea what was going on. The refs explained to the fans that each team will kick the ball through the goal posts that are set up on the back side of the endzone. Most fans just thought the goal posts where for "looks" and had no clue they actually had a purpose. Each team would kick the ball 6 times, team with the most goals wins. 6 different players have to make one attempt.

The drama was thick as both coaches decide who their "6" players would be. There was some confusion as it was very obvious from the press box neither team had any clue how to kick the ball through the uprights.

This shoot out was a classic.

First up for Schnucken was Schmuh II. He lined up the kick and his tentacle got in the way and he trips and falls and head butts the ball 2 ft as he lands on it, heads first.

Second up for Schnucken was Schnucke II, He picks up the ball to drop kick it but his claw deflates the ball and the kick goes 3 ft straight up and plops on the ground.

Third up for Schnucken was Schven IV, he lines up for the kick and runs at the ball, kicks it with his toe. His mighty foot blows the ball high into the sky, it veers on a massive hook and sails very wide left into row 24 of the upper deck.

Fourth up for Schnucken was SChimnmelpfennig VI. He lines up the kick and with grace and agility boots the ball right down the middle, A GOAL!!!!

Fith up for SChnucken was Schamala VIII, a very interesting choice as it is well know his agility has been lacking for a few months, must of been a veteran "nod" from coach. He lines up the kick, it looks good but a gust of wind from the heavens moves the ball in flight a little to the right. It bangs off the right upright and bounces out!

Sixth up for Schnucken and their last attempt. SChneewitscghen III. He calmly lines up for the attempt, he confidently strikes the ball and it sails just inside the left up right, GOAL!!!!

The fans come to their feet as the Sons of Brutus take the field. They got this in the bag, easy, no problem, the chaos scumm could only manage 2 goals.

First up for the Sons is team captain Biff Powers. He lines up the ball, adjusts it on the kicking tee, checks the wind, runs up to the ball and kicks the ball right down the middle of the up rights. The fans come to their feet and the Schnucken fans are down cast, a few are making their way out of the stadium to get ahead of the rush of fans.


Second up for the Sons is Bean Chaste, he lines up the kick, takes 4 steps and kicks the ball. OH, NO!! it goes off the side of his foot, and only rises 2 ft off the ground and dribbles through the endzone.


Third up for the Sons is Bern Daphucers, he attempts a drop kick, which suffers titanic FAIL! the ball hits the ground bounces up to shoulder height and he miffs the kick, MISSES THE BALL COMPLETLY!!

There is a few minute discussion with the ref by Coach Dunenzed who is arguing that since he missed the ball it was not a legal "kick" and they should get a re try. His argument falls on deaf ears and is almost ejected from the game.


Fourth up and the pressure is now mounting on the Sons is Will Bashya, he lines up for the kick, makes a run at it, it looks good but sundenly out of the sky a green lightning bolt cracks from the heavens, strikes the ball, the ball blows up into flames, flies off line, lands in the stands 15 rows up. The ball crashes into a fan and ignites him in green flame and then an explosion happens as his 180 proof moonshine bottle blows up and ignites 4 more fans.

Coach Dunenzed flies out of his dugout arguing that the Chaos Scumm did not have a wizard and thus the lightning bolt was cheating! Well, the ref pulls out his rule book and explains that rule 89.5.65.2.36 sub section 5.25 which refers to divine intervention is enforced. Which means the Sons are S.O.L.


Fith up and you can really see the Sons are grumbling under the pressure. Coach is so enraged at the ref that he did not see that Gore Gorger has decided to take matters into his own hands. The ogre walks up to the ball, lays a massive boot onto the ball, it sails high into the sky, so high in fact it is hard to see it, the ref covers his eyes from the sun glare trying to determine if the ball was good or not. He cannot tell, it was kicked so high and so far that he determined since the ball left the stadium and landed in the parking lot that it was NO GOOD!!

Coach Dunenzed throws up his arms in disgust, he is now throwing trash, equipment, water bottles and soiled bandages onto the field in rage.

And then a moment of inspiration or stupidity overcomes him in his rage. He pulls out his rules book, scans it to the OT rules real fast. It states that OT is after the current game and thus players that are MNG can kick in the OT period. He walks up to Kikken Urphace who was sitting out the match with a smashed knee and taps him on the shoulder. They need this goal to tie it up and force Over Time of the Over Time.

Kikken hobbles out onto the field, confident in his kicking skills to shine through. He lines up the kick, he makes 5 steps towards the ball, then sudenly he stumbles on a sprinkler head that mysteriously rose from the ground and started to spray water, his smashed knee gives out again and he falls to the ground, attempting a kick on the ball, his foot makes contact, the ball rises in a line drive right at the goal post. The fans come to their feet!!! The ball hits directly into the cross bar and bounces right back onto the field.


The stadium goes INSANE!!!!! Schnucken wins 2-1 in shoot outs!!!!!!!!!!!


The fans go into riot mode and soon after a pitch invasion takes place. After the dust settles 1 hour later there are 89 dead fans, 584 SI and 1984 BH. Coach Dunenzed goes into a frenzy DP rage on the refs and lays all three of them out into the SI-MNG bin. The Sons come to the coach rescue as he was cornered by a throng of slobbering chaos fans who looked like they where going to kill the coach.


Sons of Brutus DENIED!!!!!! Crushing defeat, so close for Humanities second Major's victory and first in the Box. The vomit taste of defeat will linger in the fans of Sons mouths for years, this was a gut wrenching loss.
