Heated rout brings trash talk to field

By By Eliot Metz

Tempers flared on the field Tuesday as Phi Kappa Psi 4 defeated Sigma Alpha Epsilon 2 in a 22-0 blowout during flag football.

Both teams started slowly in the first half, with each going three-and-out on their first drives. On Phi Psi 4’s second drive, it found the end zone with a touchdown reception by Gary Tankard, Dallas freshman. But the play was called back because of a flag-guarding penalty.

Regardless, Tankard proved to be Phi Psi 4’s most valuable player on offense, throwing for two touchdowns.

On defense it was all about the secondary. Both teams came away with interceptions in the game, including two by Phi Psi 4’s Rex Redlingshafer, Fairway freshman.

SAE 2 and Phi Psi 4 both focused on covering all possible receivers instead of putting heavy pressure on the quarterback. Only two sacks were recorded in the game.

The game became heated in the second half, when trash talk on the field occurred after nearly every play. Things came to a head when an SAE 2 defender tackled Tankard around his neck, neglecting his flags completely. The defender was quickly taken out of the game, leaving SAE 2 down another player.

Another major factor in the game was the lack of players for SAE 2. They played with only six men from the start, one less than the usual seven. Then, after the ejection in the second half, they were forced to play with only five.

According to SAE 2’s quarterback, Jonathan Nehring, LeRoy sophomore, the fact that they started the game a man down contributed to the tempers on the field.

“Being undermanned, we got tired. When you get tired tempers flare,” he said. But through it all, both teams did a good job of keeping their composure, shaking hands and exchanging kind words after the game.

“We’re all out here to have a good time,” Nehring said. “It’s not a life-or-death matter to us.”
