The victory moves the Hooligans to 2-1-1 on the season and a 1.5 game lead in the Mac division over I Love It When They Call Us Big Poppa (1-2) and Falcons N' Stuff (0-2-1). 9 Hooligans were there to collect the forfeit win: captain Mike Russell, Josh Ulm, Mary Kreutzkamp, Cody Cotner, Ethan Anderson, Zach Johnston, Zach Milner, Robert Myers, and new signee Jake Oliver. The forfeit win was the 5th such victory in franchise history.
With such a large assembly of Hooligans present, the teams decided to play a pickup game. Pro players Cody Cotner and Ethan Anderson served as the captains, and Zach Johnston served as all-time QB given the odd number of people. Team Cotner added captain Mike Russell, Josh Ulm, and Mary Kreutzkamp, while Team Anderson added Zach Milner, Robert Myers, and Jake Oliver. Male touchdowns were ruled 7 points in lieu of conversions, while girl touchdowns remained at 9 points. Both teams were given 4 downs total to score a touchdown. Both teams traded touchdowns early and would continue to do so for most of the game. Zach Milner sprang a long gain to give Team Anderson a 7-0 lead, but Josh Ulm caught a TD pass to tie it 7-7. Robert Myers caught a pass and took it the distance for a 14-7 lead for Team Anderson, but Cody Cotner showed his blazing speed to tie the game at 14-14. Ethan Anderson was left open for a long touchdown to give his team a 21-14 lead, but Mary Kreutzkamp's TD reception gave Team Cotner a 23-21 lead with the 9-pt girl TD. Team Anderson then proceeded to break out the I-formation with an option attack, and Ethan Anderson took a handoff up the middle for a 27-23 lead. Team Cotner had an answer as Cody Cotner caught a deep pass and could not be caught. The option attack again caught Team Cotner off guard and Robert Myers scored another TD. But captain Mike Russell caught a short pass on the left side of the endzone to give his team the 35-33 lead. Team Anderson opened up the playbook on the next series as Ethan Anderson took a handoff, lateraled back to Robert Myers, and then got way behind the defense to catch a TD pass from Myers. The teams continued to trade scores back and forth as Cody Cotner once again took the ball to the house for a 41-39 lead. Team Anderson had an answer as Jake Oliver showed off some speed and got past the defense for the TD. Cody Cotner again could not be stopped on the next play, and Zach Milner answered for Team Anderson and the 51-47 lead. At this point Zach Johnston proposed that the teams only get 2 downs to score and that the first team to get a stop and score would win. While Team Cotner advanced the ball to midfield they failed to connect on a deep pass near the endzone. Jake Oliver would catch his 2nd TD of the game for Team Anderson, and they emerged with the 57-47 win. Zach Johnston had an amazing day passing the ball, finishing with a total of 14 TD passes (8 to Team Cotner, 6 to Team Anderson). For Team Cotner, their star Cody Cotner had 4 receiving TDs on the day and showed off his speed on both sides of the ball. Captain Mike Russell notched a couple receptions in the game including a touchdown. Josh Ulm had a touchdown on the team's opening drive and several other receptions.

Robert Myers had 2 receiving TDs and also threw the TD pass on their epic trick play to Ethan Anderson.
