Vote for the 2012 Mastodon Moment of the Year

Moments are what define a football team. They are what define any type of sports or even, life related activity. Moments are more than the game. They mean so much more. That is why we celebrate them because without them the game and it's motivation and attractiveness would not be what it is. The following three moments all went deeper than the game or the players themselves. Here are your nominees for the 2012 Mastodon Moment of the Year.


Nick's Farewell Send-Off. It was the final game of Nick's Mastodon career as we knew it. The Mastodons made their way up to the field and they all knew what this game meant to one of their best players and friends. Before the game, a ceremony was held, in which we retired Nick's number 99. It still hangs in the rafters today. We gave him a true Mastodon send-off. Then he went out and had the game of his life, with nine touchdowns and 233 yards. To this day, nothing is the same without Nick.

Dave Catches Five Touchdowns Following Niece's Birth. Dave's mind was elsewhere before the game, knowing that at any moment, his niece could be born. When the game came around, his niece, Sophie, had already entered the world. His focus was elsewhere, but he still managed to play tough and he caught five touchdowns to lead his team to victory.

Mastodon Rain Game Turns Season Around. The Mastodons were sitting at .500 on the season with a 1-1 record. Dave, Joe, Alex and Kyle all found themselves on the same team and they were struggling. It was looking like 1-2 was inevitable. Suddenly, a storm cloud rolled in and rain started to befall the game. In many dramatic sports films, rain makes for the pivotal point. It no doubt did that for the Mastodons. They came back to win and never lost again in 2012.
