5th Annual OTBCS Game Updates - THE GRAND FINALS!!!!

[EagerBeaver]

4:59 PM, July 21 - BREAKING NEWS: The Church of God of North Carolina has just announced that John Wilkins has returned to the team after a leave of absence and will replace Hillard Foster at running back. Foster moves to wide receiver and Wilkins will assume his position in the backfield for Game 6 tonight. Also, Wilkins has slapped David Myers with a gag order, forbidding him to talk to the media until further notice.

TCOGNC could make things interesting in the second half, even though they have already assured themselves that the team will not have a winning record.

GAMES TONIGHT

7 PM CST

[EagerBeaver]

11:20 PM CST - The OTBCS standings are going to get a little crazy after the Game 6 action. Here are the scores from the day:

ZACOG 34 - 20 TCOGIDO -- Wade Phillips led ZACOG to its fourth win in a row, and dare I say it, these guys are the hottest team in the league at 4-2. Divine Order is reeling.

TCOGC 14 -19 TCOGNC - John Wilkins' comeback inspired TCOGNC to their first win of the year, and he helped them big time by rushing for 122 yards and 1 TD. TCOG Carter has lost four straight and look very bad.

COGOP 16 - 42 COG - COG picked up their second win in blowout fashion. COGOP got a taste of their own medicine in an overall sorry performance for a team that had a share of the league lead.

CRC 17 - 13 TCOGJA - No big stats for either team, but Jerusalem Acres was picked off in the endzone with 16 seconds left to preserve a huge win by Cedar Ridge that puts CRC in sole possession of first place again.

TCOGWSF 7 - 17 TCOGN - Nabors' team has now won two straight and is in the upper tier of the league after some good defense against Signs Following. George Hensley was sacked six times.

Standings updated tomorrow!!!

Crap, crap and more crap

- Cedar Ridge church maintains their #1 spot in the league, but didn't look so good doing it. Danny Page puked a couple times on the field...we think he might still be suffering "rot gut."

- COGOP laid an egg. Clayton Endecott fumbled once and they were actually down 21-0 at the end of the first quarter. This was not a pretty game to watch.

- Who ever thought John Wilkins would raise TCOGNC's spirits so much? After commanding David Myers to stop talking to the media, he steps up and rushes for 130 yards and a touchdown to lead them over TCOG Carter.

- Speaking of Carter's clan, these guys have to be feeling awful. They gave this game to TCOGNC and just rolled over. Way to go, considering they were 8-2 last year. Four games to go and they've doubled their loss total from last year.

- Several congregants from Mother Tucker's House of Prayer in Tulsa, OK were present at the TCOG In Divine Order game last night. Photos from a post-game rally exist here.

- Speaking of, Jerry Lee Anderson led a PREGAME rally for Divine Order with a rendition of his track, "Let Revival Roll." GLORY! There is a YouTube clip of that rally here!

[EagerBeaver]

6:38 PM CST - Game 7 for every team is tonight...in the following order. Games commence in seven minutes.

TCOGWSF vs. ZACOG
TCOGIDO vs. TCOGNC
TCOGN vs. TCOGJA
COGOP vs. CRC
COG vs. TCOGC

The COGOP vs. CRC match will be broadcast on OTBCS Radio as it is one of the marquee matchups of the season with COGOP at 4-2 and CRC at 5-1.

The game will be critical because if COGOP wins, both teams go to 5-2 and COGOP holds a tiebreaker due to the win. If CRC wins, they go to 6-1 and COGOP goes to 4-3, AND Cedar Ridge holds the tiebreaker as well. Huge pivotal game there.

In other matches ZACOG looks to make it 5 straight at the expense of TCOG With Signs Following, TCOG North Carolina hopes to win their second in a row, and TCOG Carter looks to avert a team-record fifth straight loss against surging COG.

Lets go COGOP, lets go!!!!!!!!

[EagerBeaver]

6:59 PM CST - ZACOG has just won their team-record fifth straight match at the hands of TCOG With Signs Following, 30-7. Joseph Steele ran for 200 yards and three touchdowns, and George Hensley was picked off and fumbled one time each during the game. The only TCOGWSF score came just before halftime as Wade Phillips was intercepted by EA McDonald for a TD.

Rahab, COGOP fans are showing up in droves at the stadium right now. They're even here to take in the three games preceding theirs...on that note, TCOG In Divine Order will take on TCOG North Carolina, kickoff shortly.

[Susie Hamilton]

I'm in the parking lot enjoying a huge tailgate party. COGOPer's are enjoying lots of dogs and chili. O'Douls are free flowing aplenty.

[EagerBeaver]

Yes, COGOP revelry is pretty tame...

7:32 PM CST - TCOGIDO vs. TCOGNC with a VERY controversial ending. The game glitched after TCOGNC tied it with a last-minute touchdown...but the game wouldn't let them kick an extra point. The OTBCS Executive Committee made an on-the-spot decision to play an overtime with TCOGNC getting the ball, much to the protest of TCOG In Divine Order. TCOGNC then scored a touchdown on their first drive to win it, and TCOGIDO fans are littering the field with garbage.

Official word from the league office is that Jerry Lee Anderson has filed a motion to protest this game outcome, as he well should. Results from the executive committee will be released in the next couple days or so. Meanwhile it is havoc on the field as garbage crews try to clean the mess up so the TCOGN vs. TCOGJA game can start. This is weird.

Oh, the final score of the game was 40-34 in TCOGNC's favor, pending a protest.

[EagerBeaver]

Rahab are you seeing any angry TCOGIDO fans exiting the stadium? Are there police on scene? Let us know if you are OK, game reports from the TCOGN vs. TCOGJA game are saying it's bad outside the stadium.

[EagerBeaver]

8:47 PM CST - Man, the COGOP-Cedar Ridge match was as good as advertised and then some. 5,000 fans packed Lee University's field to see this one and they caught a doozy.

Cedar Ridge led this one at halftime 14-10 and the teams kept battling back and forth until CRC retook the lead, 27-24 with two minutes remaining on a Danny Page 63-yard scamper.

On the final COGOP possession, Randy Howard worked the ball down to the 8-yard line but the defense held for Cedar Ridge as Miguel Mojica kicked a game-tying field goal with 43 seconds left.

Nothing materialized in the final minute of regulation as CRC only worked down to the COGOP's 38 and could not get a field goal try off before the final whistle.

On we went to overtime, and that part of the game I will not share on here, but I will leave it for you to hear in audio form as it happened. The ending is absolutely epic and will be replayed in the OTBCS for years to come.

8:59 PM CST - OTBCS action for the day is over with TCOG Carter breaking a four-game losing streak, pouncing on COG 24-14.

The standings are going to be crazy tomorrow...keep it here for a recap. And remember to check the COGOP-CRC overtime game ending below because I haven't told you the score yet, tee hee.

There You Have it folks now back to you in the studios

[Susie Hamilton]

The TCOGIDO fans were wrecking havoc in the parking lot after their game. They were flipping our tables over and throwing the food all over the place. Police finally took a few of them away.

[Pianoman]

What's with all the sports talk?
Who cares about sports?

All I like are the funny commercials!

Where's the beef?

How about a word from our sponsors?

[EagerBeaver]

The Streak has indeed shown up, authorities caught him and identified him as Homer Tomlinson.

TCOGIDO fans are still a bit miffed. About 20 of them were removed from Lee University Soccer Field in a paddy wagon last night.

As for sponsors, Burt's Birds is the sponsor, some down-home podunk chicken joint that carries the motto "Ain't No Thing But A Chicken Wing."
