Game 1 (vs. The Worthless Team)

Fourskins 22
Worthless Team 6

Lucky Duck Foot: Moss
Light 'Em Up Pepper: Vosectomy

Game Story

A good debut for the Fourskins. We found out that Snizz was all that we expected. Moss had a solid game with 2 touchdowns and an interception. He also got us some good field position with his punt returns. Vosectomy got the Pepper for his tackles. The Fourskin defense played a solid game and almost had a shutout. The only touchdown scored by the Worthless Team was on a pass where the quarterback was past the line of scrimmage.

Game 2 (vs. Schiltz's Worthless Team)

Fourskins 30
Schiltz's Worthless Team 0

Lucky Duck Foot: Donkey
Light 'Em Up Pepper: Tractor

Game Story

We had 2 goals for this game: #1 Toss a shutout and #2 Light up Schiltz! We did both. We were up 16 to nothing before they even knew what hit them. We had 16 points without running an offensive play. Donkey picked off a pass on the first play of the game and took it into the endzone. Moss also reached "Pay Dirt" on a punt return. Our defense came up with some key stops, although the illegal center sneak did catch us off-guard. Bush league. Tractor lit up Schiltz a few times. Donkey, Vosectomy and El Presidente all picked off passes. The Fourskins were really fired up for this game, since Schiltz and company were talking smack before the game. Don't ever taunt us again. This game also marked the unveiling of our new uni's.

Game 3 (vs. The Cockiest Team in the League)

Fourskins 26
The Cockiest Team in the League 16

Lucky Duck Foot: El Presidente
Light 'Em Up Pepper: Donkey

Game Story

This was our most intense game of the year and so far, it was the toughest game to win. There were many words exchanged in the contest. Donkey had some words with Larry "I'm all talk" after slapping him around a bit. Donkey lit their players up all game. Vosectomy took care of business by tossing David Johannson around. Snizz worked out some nice plays in the huddle and made some good defensive reads. The game was close, 20 to 16 in favor of the Fourskins with under 4 minutes to play. The Cocky team was driving, but the Fourskin D stepped it up. They shut them down, keyed by Wag Tank's "Strip Sack" on 4th down. The Fourskins then attempted to put the game away. Vosectomy came up with the winning call: James Jerome would be open in the flat with only 1 man to beat. El Presidente took care of that 1 man (Val) and James Jerome walked in to seal the victory.

Game 4 (vs. Mix It Up)

Fourskins 12
Mix It Up 20

Lucky Duck Foot: Snizz
Light 'Em Up Pepper: Wag Tank

Game Story

Mix It Up got off to a good start, taking the lead 8 to 0, but the Fourskins scored on the next possession to make it 8 to 6. James Jerome made some nice moves to get into the endzone to push their total to 12 late in the second half. The Fourskins battled all the way and played tough, but came up a little short. The defense stopped "Cake Mix" with under 2 minutes to play and forced them to punt. The Fourskin offense moved quickly down the field and with 10 seconds left, the Fourskins were on the 2 yard line. Moss would have reached the endzone, but was stopped at the 2 by "Chex Mix," who apparently had a flashback to his tackle football days as he rode Moss to the ground. The Fourskins decided to try a play that had worked many times before, but Rob Bahr "picked off" the final pass of the game in the end zone as time ran out. With only 1 referee, it was tough for him to see if Bahr actually caught the ball, but he he made his call in favor of "Sir Mix-A-Lot's Squad." Although the Fourskins lost, they showed a lot of heart and played as a team. Wag Tank played a solid game on the offensive line allowing no sacks on Snizz. Rudy had a tough time on defense, getting lit up all game, but he still made some nice plays. El Presidente's juggling act got him a dirty shirt, but did nothing to help his squad. In this tough game, the Fourskins proved that they could play with the big boys and that they won't give up.

Game 5 (vs. Team Levi)

Fourskins 44
Team Levi 6

Lucky Duck Foot: Moss
Light 'Em Up Pepper: Vosectomy

Game Story

The Fourskins bounced back from their only loss to beat Team Levi by 38 points. The goal for the game was to score 40 points. When the Fourskins reached 40, they upped the goal to 50. On the final play El Presidente batted down a pass and was inches away from picking it off and taking it back for a touchdown. The Fourskins played an all-around great game, on offense, defense and special teams. Head coach Nathan Brinkman made some nice defensive calls, but "pitching coach" Randolph Shea missed his 3rd game. It's unoffical, but the rumor is that he quit the team. Team Levi is a very physical team, there were some punches thrown by Team Levi on kick off returns, but it really doesn't matter when the Fourskins pull their flags! Moss was and offensive standout with 3 touchdowns and Vosectomy had 3 sacks and a batted pass on defense. The Fourskins picked off 3 passes; D.D.L., Donkey and Moss all picked off passes. D.D.L. made a nice diving catch on his interception. Rudy did his best Deion Sanders impression by shutting down Jobu Waldoch. Team Levi wouldn't even throw at him in the first half. Snizz made some nice reads and finished with 4 touchdown passes. Wag Tank played well on the offensive and defensive lines, lighting up jeans-wearing players all night. E.R., the man with the quickest hands in the league, was grabbing flags left and right to help shut down Team Levi. James Jerome was busy guarding the cockiest player on Team Levi and pretty much shut him down. It's a shame he couldn't back up his talk. Tractor plowed his way into the endzone on a 2 point conversion catch. He also had some nice downfield coverage on a kickoff, but he almost lit up El Presidente. He doesn't care, he just drills people! The Fourskins proved that they can bounce back from a loss and a couple games off. They also showed that they can beat teams that should be and deserve to be beat, especially ones that wear jeans.

Game 6 (vs. Team Big Friend, Little Friend)

Fourskins 58
Team Big Friend, Little Friend 0

Lucky Duck Foot: James Jerome
Light 'Em Up Pepper: Tractor

Game Story

The Fourskins played a great game against Team Big Friend, Little Friend. The Fourskins played their hardest to attempt to get the best possible seed in the playoffs. After this victory, they expected to get the 3rd seed. The defense was solid, not allowing a yard in the second half and only 1 first down in the first half. They finally reached the goal of 50 points, with Snizz throwing 5 touchdown passes and later screwing the team over in the seedings. Moss scored 3 touchdowns for the 2nd straight game and James Jerome had 2 touchdowns. The Fourskins defense was the highlight, with 4 interceptions and 2 sacks. Rudy and Moss each had 2 interceptions and El Presidente had 2 sacks. El Presidente attributed his 2 sacks to "Pitching Coach" Randolph Shea. It was Shea's first game back and he showed the defensive lineman some moves that helped put pressure on the quarterback on every play. Vosectomy and Donkey were unable to attend the game, due to work conflicts. Other than that, the only downside to the game was Tractor's taunting of the smallest player in the league.

Playoff Game 1 (vs. Team Muffy)
Fan Appreciation Night

Fourskins 27
Team Muffy 8

Lucky Duck Foot: Rudy
Light 'Em Up Pepper: Rudy

Game Story

The Fourskins, with their freshly painted faces, came out guns a blazin' by stopping Team Muffy on their first possesion, then taking the ball down the field for an early 6-0 lead. They never looked back. Team Muffy was stopped again on their next possesion and the Fourskins made them pay. The score at halftime was 12-0 in favor of the yellow-clad warriors. The Fourskins had a 25-0 lead with under 2 minutes to go, but a safety broke up the bid for a shutout. Team Muffy scored their first touchdown of the game to bring the score to 25-8, where it stood until Diamond Dave Logan picked off the 2 point conversion pass and took it the length of the field for 2 points. The offensive line was a huge contributor to the outcome of the game. Tractor plowed some big holes to get the running backs some room to roam. Vosectomy played through illness and injury to become the heart and soul of the offensive line. Wag Tank was rock solid as quiet giant of the offensive line. D.D.L., the nicest man ever, with his painted on Rollie Fingers mustache, showed his true brilliance by picking off the final 2 point conversion pass and running the tight rope down the sideline. James Jerome did it all, running, blocking, and even throwing a perfect spiral for a first down. Snizz played another great game as the signal caller and "swam" downfield for a huge first down. Moss scored 2 more touchdowns and had a huge interception to stop Team Muffy and get the ball back to the Fourskins at the beginning of the second half. Moss gave props to Coach Brinkman after all of his plays. E.R. played up to his "Crazy Clown" face paint, by dominating on defense and shutting down the Muff. He even put his life on the line by batting down a pass in the first half. Donkey played his usual game, lighting people up left and right, including Rudy. Speaking of Rudy, he was the first player in the history of the Fourskins to get both the Light 'Em Up Pepper and the Lucky Duck Foot in the same game. He batted down 7 passes, including a tipped pass to Moss for an easy interception. All of them were clutch plays, most of them coming on 3rd or 4th down. El Presidente carried out the Terrell Davis play fake, which allowed Snizz time to find Donkey for a 1 point conversion. I can't believe Muffy bit on play action! Just 1 play earlier he did an even better "TD" impression with a nice cut-back on his run for a touchdown.

Playoff Game 2 (vs. The All-World Team)

All-World Team 30
Fourskins 16

Lucky Duck Foot: D.D.L.
Light 'Em Up Pepper: E.R.

Game Story

The Fourskins came into the game as the underdog and weren't given much of a chance, but they came to play. They actually had the lead at one point in the game at 8-6, before trailing 14-8 at halftime. Adam "Moss" Totushek proved that he is one of the best receivers in the Intramural league playing a solid game with some nice catches. Mitch "E.R." Wirka got his recognition by receiving the Light 'em Up Pepper for his great game at linebacker. Jeff "Wag Tank" Wagner had his work cut out for him playing nose tackle, but he got some pressure on All-World quarterback, Ryan Shea. Ryan "Donkey" Haraldson, although he didn't get to light anyone up in the final game, was a rock on defense, as he was all year. Peter "Rudy" Pearson continued his great play at the cornerback position by picking off a pass, but was tackled on a cheap play. Andy "El Presidente" Meissner had a key block on James Jerome's touchdown run and ran a nice route to catch another touchdown. Although he played well on the offensive side of the ball, he was on the ground almost every play on defense. He was run over by House, El Presidente was the foundation and he was the house. Craig "Snizz" Peterson played well again at quarterback in his final Fourskin game. He will be missed next year. Andy "Vosectomy" Vacek had to play through illness again, but worked hard and was a huge part of the offensive line. J.J. "James Jerome" Douvier had a nice touchdown run and actually read his block right for once! He showed some speed by outrunning the All-World secondary. Dave "D.D.L." Logan had the catch of the year for an important first down by grabbing the ball with one arm on his way to the ground. Jared "Tractor" Groehler was solid on the offensive and defensive lines, although being undersized against the huge All-World lines. He also screamed out the loudest expletive of the year. The Fourskins played as a team and made a good run at the championship. They played well in every aspect of the game, other than stopping the running of "Cyber Germaine." Although their season is over, the Fourskins have nothing to be ashamed of. They had a great season and played hard all year. The Fourskins outscored their opponents 235 to 86 over the 8 games they played. They will be a force in for the next couple years, losing only 1 starter this year, quarterback, Craig "Snizz" Peterson. The Fourskins would like to thank their fans for all the support and their coaching staff including head coach Nate "Ice" Brinkman, Dan "Shotgun" Starken, Chad "Cousin" Becker, and Brian "Morten" Vieregge. The only disappointment of the Fourskins season was the appearance of traitor Randolf "Benedict Arnold" Shea at the final playoff game. Randolf did show up for once, but he was supporting the All-World Team.
