The IM flag football season may be over, but our coverage is far from done. All-Star teams are still to be announced (stay tuned for that next week), and we’re still wrapping our heads around one of the most entertaining seasons of football — and most generous by mother nature — in recent years. With that in mind, we decided not to limit our season awards to the basics. Hence, the comprehensive list you find below, which includes Purple, White and Co-Rec. If you’re a character, or your team caught our eye this season, you’re sure to find your name somewhere. If not, there’s always 2010.
Did we miss any? Wanna argue with any? Leave a comment…
