Despite being unceremoniously dismissed from the double elimination Post Oak YMCA tournament in two uneventful games, TCJ managed to take home the trophy for "best looking team", narrowly edging out Houston All-Madden for the award. Lead by a stellar performance from Brian Crum (pictured), TCJ battled unseasonably stiff, hair-blowing winds and sweat inducing weather to take home the coveted title. "Most of these teams come out wearing hats that are turned around backwards, shirts with the sleeves ripped off, and some even wear shoes covered in mud," remarked team captain, Dirk Moore. "Our early morning primping has finally paid off for us."
All-Madden, the odds on favorite and previous holder of the coveted trophy which features a bust of referee Clarence, shocked the crowd by showing up in new Tampa Bay Bucs knock-off jerseys. But apparently their move backfired as the judges handed the trophy to an under-appreciated TCJ. "Madden's new jerseys weren't the problem so much as the fact that they were yellow. Those All-Madden fellows don't have the facial features or skin-tone to pull of something like that, certainly not this close to the fall earth tone season," said a judge who wished to remain anonymous.
The Can certainly faced an uphill battle when it learned late in the week that Randy "pretty boy" Brookmiller and Chris Faucett were not going to be able to make it out, but a great performance out of late addition, Collin Kennedy helped TCJ to the title. "Collin played the first game in his new white tennis shoes, which really brought his uniform together in a way that wearing his normal cleats would not have," remarked Road Rash Rick Monk, "it's the little things like that, that will make the difference."
Not that it mattered, but TCJ lost to Texas Heat in its 9:00 a.m. opener 26-14. And lost to Storm 34-12 in the noon elimination game. The team followed up the day with a pizza party at Barry's Pizza. A good time was had by all.
