Fall Season Stats And Quips

Click for full size. Leaders highlighted in yellow.




- Average margin of victory was 2 plus touchdowns, with the score differential narrowing in the 2nd half of games as the team clearly eased up on opponents.

- The team only converted a pitiful 25% of extra point attempts. OUCH!

- Jen caught an amazing 91.7% of all passes thrown to her. Apparently, the most common percentage among the team was 50% as 5 players were exactly at that number.

- Eric S is high risk high reward, self-explanatory. =)

- Alison essentially doubled her season offensive stats during the playoffs. Ridiculous.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner - Playoff Recap



On a gleaming 60 degree November afternoon, the ragged band of team What?! formed a pocket of burgundy on the stomping ground on Flatbush and Claremont, warming up for the biggest week of the season. With players each VOLUNTARILY and WILLINGLY arriving at the field for up to a hour before the game to stretch, warm-up, and game-plan (save Ronny and Chris who had to be rescued from the dungeons, otherwise known as their beds by Felix), the team knew that their whole season would be defined by the outcome of the day’s games, which was clear since ALMOST the entire team showed up.

What?! A Dull Game



Coming into the last regular season game of the season with a playoff spot locked up against the team with the worst record in the league, What?! knew they didn't have much to fight for. Nonetheless, with the upset loss from the previous week still fresh in their minds, the team looked to regain their stride and momentum heading into playoffs.

With their wily Asian starting QB Matt unavailable due to suspect circumstances, Felix stepped in to fill the shoes of his compatriot even though he was still hungover and even bailed on morning softball earlier in the day. Given the situation, things did not look good and the team knew they were going to be in for a rough and long offensive struggle. The first half proofed to be exactly that, as the offense struggled to move the ball against the worst team in the league. Drives stalled left and right, including bunch of incompletions, several 4 and outs, and a turnover. Luckily, What?!'s opponents proved to be equally inept, as almost every one of their passes was either deflected or dropped/not caught by their receivers even when open. The only score of the half came on a short pass to Eric S.

Hairy Halloween Ends In Hapless Horror For What?!

Following the tradition of eerie Halloween weekends, this Sunday was no exception as the unthinkable happened to What?!, a regular season LOSS. The sequence of events and the way the loss came about was just as strange and horrifying as the holiday itself.


  What?!'s Mustache Inspiration

The game started off very well for our group of misfits. Inspired by the world renowned American Mustache Institute mustaches they grew for the holiday, What?! stormed out to a 3 score lead by half time. The most impressive stretch came when the defense made a decisive 4 down goal-line stand right before the half to hold their opponents scoreless.
