ickey's Men, Wild Burritos victorious
FSU intramural football championships
By George Smith
As both teams entered the
1 of play, everyone was fo¬
cused on the task at hand. The
capacity crowd sensed there
was excitement in the air. Play¬
ers were psyching themselves
up for the biggest game of their
lives. It was going to be a fight
to the finish.
No, this isn't the Bulldogs
getting ready for another *'
home game, but it was the next
best thing. The intramural flag
football championships were
held yesterday on the fields in
front of the NorthGym, and the
intensity level resembled a
BYU-FSUclasli.
The "A" divisional teams
played yesterday, with
Mickey's Men denying Delta
Sigma Phi a the chance to win
back-to-back football titles in
the men's game, taking it 20-
14.
Don't think for a split sec¬
ond that this was just another
game. The men from Mickey's
knew what they had to do to
bring home the championship,
and perhaps indulge them¬
selves with the malt liquor Ver¬
sion of their team name.
"We were mentally
pumped," said Caleb Randall,
team cap tain for Mickey's Men.
"We were even more psyched
because it "was DSP we had to
play. From day one, I knew we
would play them today."
The revenge factor was huge
for Mickey's; DSP beat them
last year in the finals. And if
you passed by their frat house
at all this week, you could see a

DSP's Greg Brough gets more than he bargained for while tackling Caleb Randall. Mickey's
Men won the title game 20-14.
Which was all the motivation
Mickey's Men needed to thrash

their arch-rivals.
?They thought they were go¬
ing to win with that sign they
had out there," said Randall.
"But we kept our composure,
and had them frustrated. We
ran our game plan to perfec¬
tion. " ■
The road to the champion¬
ship was a tough one, as
Mickey's lost their first two
games. With a "one game at a
time" frame of mind, they beat
(he Black Brigade, Fiji, and
Sigma Alpha Epsilon and all of
a sudden, found themselves in
the title match with DSP.
"Pride took us to the top,"
said the team's fearless captain
Randall
The play of the game was the
last one. With the score 20-14,
cornerback Richie Brown
knocked down a pass in the end
zone to seal the win. If he wasn't
there, DSP would have tied the
game with a chance to win on a
two-point conversion. But
thanks to Brown, that didn't
happen.
"After I blocked the pass, I
ran to midfield and thought we
had won the World Series or
something," Brown said. "It
was a great feeling."
With the win, Mickey's Men
nowhave an opportunity to go
to New Orleans for a nation¬
wide tournament, provided if
they have the funds to go. But
for now, they're going to savor
the moment
"We're going to the team

the ones the big boys play, but

ment, you would have thought

game with Bud weisers in hand,

"We actually put our team

defensive lineman J.B. Quigley,
who resembled a leaner version
of FSU lineman Chris Rockwell.
"We played great defense, and
put a lot of pressure en their
quarterback, which was an im¬
