"Well I think no matter what it establishes us as the dominant force to be reckoned with in the med school. Obviously you can’t argue with a 3-0 record and when you’ve beaten two teams of older med school students... they got seniority on us but we sure as hell have the athleticism."
--Scott after having defeated both 2nd year med school flag football teams
It's rare to have a team that is completely dominant, undoubtedly superior, and utterly invincible. The Pats were almost that team last year, Duke Basketball does it every year, and the Wake Forest Medical School Class of 2012 Flag Football team did it tonight. And when you reach that mountain top, it’s time to talk some smack.
A week ago today, I talked about how the 1st year medical students pulled off an unbelievable upset victory over the highly hyped 2nd year medical school team (click here for a recap of that victory). Tonight, the 1st year medical students cemented their comprehensive dominance over the 2nd years by coming away with a hard fought, knock down, grind it out victory to bolster their record to 3-0 on the season.
Listen to the podcast below for post-game interviews with Ed (starting quarterback), Trey (middle linebacker/defensive coordinator) and Scott (after an LT-esque performance).
Play of the game
Before tonight I’d been going back and forth trying to decide whether the best single football play ever was the end of the Cal/Stanford game when the band started marched out on the field or the end of the Boise St./Oklahoma game a couple of years ago. After the trickery we put on tonight, there isn’t a doubt in my mind that the Wake Med 1st year students put together the single best football play in history. The breakdown:
Ed’s at QB, Scott is in the slot, and Carey’s split out wide. After the snap Carey immediately starts running a hitch and stops. As soon as Ed throws a backward pass to Scott (who runs across the line and back a few yards), Carey ditches his receiver and takes off and the two connect for a 60 yard bomb that will forever be remembered as the best play in history.
Key to the game
The 2nd years brought a lot of passion and intensity to the game tonight and made key adjustments to keep the game close. After being under intense pressure the first few series from the 1st year defensive ends (Trey, Carey, and The Scrapper), the 2nd years dropped back into the shotgun and took advantage of short dump down passes to pulling lineman. Eventually, the athleticism of the 1st year students was what sealed the victory.

How dominant was the first year class in that 40-0 loss to the co-rec team yesterday? Did you guys forget to show up to that game or do games with girls involved just not count?
A new low. 2nd years are bragging about co-ed games now. You guys just stink, they beat both your teams.
I love this, the 2nd years suck. But 2010 is def the most athletic class.
Agreed, the 2nd years suck. '09 rules
Co-rec? The 1st years dismantled both of your best teams and now their bragging about girls playing football. Wow.
Odoyle rules
Not only is this by far the weakest post in the history of this blog, but the comments on this post are laughable, juvenile, and far beyond the realm of actual journalism. 'A new low' indeed, Jacobim.
Get back to writing about actual events before this entire website turns into a Wake med flag football discussion board.
