Doug Bowl 2004
Shorthair Shocker!
49-14 Victory First Since '96!
Was it the FNGs? Was it complacency? Are the Longhairs
getting too long in the tooth? Did the Longhairs actually miss Bagwan's
presence? Is there any excuse that will cover the atrocity
this game was for the Longhair side? This reporter doesn't think so. It
was domination almost from the git go. Shorthair MVP, Dakota and Shorthair
newcomer, Yellowshirt seemed to be all over the field. The Shorthair offense
was methodical (with an occasional breakaway),
and the Longhairs' QB(s) seemed to be MIA. Even
when the Shorthairs tried to give it back, the
Longhairs didn't want it. Even Fil's miracle catch
couldn't change the momentum. Even Stevie's motivational speech featuring
Mr. Orange couldn't light enough of a fire under the Longhairs. The Shorthairs'
margin of victory was their largest ever, and they had a shutout through
almost three quarters. Could this be the start of something? Naaaah.
Even Mr. Orange Couldn't Help Them!
