Ep 127: Tim competes in a Tecmo Super Bowl Tourney
Ok, I am not the worst player here
The Moonlight Graham Show is all about fun and games but this week’s episode takes that to an all-new level. For episode 127, Tim joined Iowa Tecmo for a tournament at The Keg Stand to put his Tecmo skills to the test. After some confidence-building warmup games, Tim found out just what he had gotten himself into.
With 1993 Buffalo Bills highlights playing on TV, the scene was set for a day spent in a timewarp back to a friend’s basement in the early 90s. The format of the tournament started with pool play that then set the seeding for the 20 man bracket, including the national #1 ranked Tecmo player, Joey Gats. This week Tim sits down with a host of Tecmo veterans from around the midwest, including Duck Hunt world record holder Kyle Nelson.
Enjoy a few interviews with some of the best Tecmo players in the United States.
Every listener to this podcast knows that a game of catch is rarely just a game of catch. Playing catch is an opportunity to connect with someone, whether you spend that time in conversation or just listening to the pop of the ball hitting the leather. Few understand this more than this week’s guest, Kevin Negaard. Negaard’s journey is nearing his goal of 365 consecutive days of catch. This endeavor has connected him with hundreds of partners, has spanned two continents, and led to two injections in his shoulder.
