Co-Recreational

When you browse through the Co-Recreational scores, two teams stand above the rest.

Perennial powerhouse Bi-Sexual Chocolate didn’t allow a point until its final game, a 43-12 triumph.

On the other side will be a team that dominated for the No. 1 spot during the five-week regular season — Purple Nurple.

The team’s closest game was a 42-6 win, but despite being atop the league rankings the entire season, Purple Nurple senior Nick McCoy isn’t ruling out a possible upset.

Although, he said, he felt his team had “not peaked yet.”

“Bi-Sexual Chocolate is a really good team — and Off Dan Whalen,” he said. “Those teams have good talent.”

Fraternity

After almost pulling an upset in the All-University semifinals last year, Sigma Chi proved that the frat league can hang with teams in the open division.

This year, there are four teams to watch in the posteason.

TKE and Sigma Chi are both 3-1, earning second place in their respective sections. But both teams’ losses were by double digits.

In the squad’s only big test, SAE 1 defeated Sigma Chi, 20-0, to go undefeated in its section. Sigma Pi A also went 4-0, defeating TKE, 33-6, in the teams’ only matchup.

Even though they’d likely need to go through Sigma Pi A again, members of TKE said they think they can take the championship.

“I think there’s definitely a chance,” TKE’s Brandon Rodriguez said. “We’ve been getting some looks on the other teams and seen what they were doing.”

Open

If intramural flag-football were soccer, the men’s Open League would be Europe.

With the most participants, the most athletes, and the most championships, the All-University champion has emerged out of the open league for the last three years.

This season, UISC shows no signs of slowing down, and its members are confident they can repeat.

“I am sure we are going to win it again — new year, same story,” UISC captain Reed McManigal said.

“A lot of teams try to play really organized … [but] playing the organized teams is the least fun possible, because all they do is waste the clock,” he said. “Those teams do have the best chance [at beating us], though.”

Only Smooth Obturators has looked strong enough to challenge UISC so far this year. The group of dental students uses a variety of trick plays to keep opponents off guard.

“We know there are some other teams that will challenge us more than we have been,” said Matt Carlisle. “But we think that we’re prepared.”

Residence Hall

Three teams ran the table in the Residence Hall league this year, and those squads are easily the favorites to win. Dirty Burge uses its mobility at quarterback to create plays, and Northside and Rienow 7 Raptors are equally efficient. Of those three, Northside has had the most convincing performances and also has matching jerseys, making it the favorites in the league.

Women’s

Three teams are left to play for the women’s trophy with Pink Ladies MIA.

Last year’s winners, Show Stoppaz, appeared to be the early season favorite until a 26-0 upset from Schax. The league’s other team, Blackout, is also in the mix with a win over Schax during the season.
