On Sunday, I met up with fellow Spartans Doug and Josh, as well as the Hoosier Liz at Washington Park south of downtown Denver for the 4th Annual Big 10 Flag Football Tournament. This year there were 9 schools that submitted teams, with only Illinois and Minnesota not sending anyone.
The format was simple single round elimination, with the champion getting "The Ski." The Ski is pretty self explanatory in that it is a ski, except it's painted blue and says "Big Ten" at the top and has each of the yearly winners painted on it. MSU started the tournament well playing Indiana and winning 17-0.
The second game was against Iowa and was much more dramatic. They scored one touchdown in the beginning of the game, and then it was back and forth in a defensive battle. MSU drove down to within 3 yards, it was 4th and goal with 5 seconds left, but unfortunately we couldn't make it into the end zone.
Our consolation game was against Wisconsin, and just like the game the real teams played on Saturday, we won by one point. Needless to say, there was a little shit talking after that.
Overall it was a great time and I can't wait to play again next year. Hopefully we'll get in a practice or two instead of just calling the same play every time, a play we liked to call, "Everyone run and get open."
