Crunch Time in the BDFL: Five teams “in” the BDCS, Four eliminated, and five on the fence
In the barn (with guaranteed winning records): Gamblers, Wooden Warriors, PowerSleds, Bullets and Dogs.
On the fence (at 6-6): Cheetahs, Woosiers and Sloths.
Facing elimination (at 5-7): Nauts and Mayors.
Eliminated list: Grenadiers, Fighting Slovaks, Wizards and Blitz.
Wooden Warriors 34 – Sloth Monsters 25: Woodies Rolling Right Along The Black Creek Wooden Warriors are possibly on a “collision course” with the Big Daddy Bowl, which comes at the end of the Big Daddy Championship Series (BDCS), which comes at the end of the regular season. But, it is “been there – done that,” for the Tribe. What they haven’t done – ever – is win the Championship Game, and take home the Grand Daddy trophy. So, pardon Kawliga & Company if they don’t get too fired up about finishing off a pretty good regular season. In Week 12, the Woodies took down the Sloth Monsters by nine, in a game that was not-as-close-as-the-score would indicate.
Bullets 31 – Woosiers 16: Bullets Subdue Woo on Monday Night Football Bullets Sweep Season-Series against the Woosiers In a Red Neck Division “rivalry game” that is as old as the Red Neck Division, the Benton Bullets pulled off the “season sweep” of the Smoke Rise Woosiers. And, the Bullets did it in grand Monday Night Football style. Bullerino’s “over-achievers” entered MNF trailing the Woo Crew by 10-points. But, Drew Brees (Saints) outscored the Hayden Haymakers “all by himself.” “Cool” Brees put up 18-points with 4-TD passes and his first rushing TD of the season, and the Bullets pulled away from the Woosiers, 31-16. Bullet is now (like Alabama) in the clubhouse, waiting to see who he will face in the BDCS. Meanwhile, Tommy T. drops to 6-6 and will have to sweat out the final two weeks to try to get into the “Big Dance.”
Dogs 25 – Wizards 20: Burr’s Dogs Pound Parks The Brookside Dogs are almost in un-chartered territory. They are a virtual lock for the BDCS. So, could this be the year that Mark’s Mutts end their 15-year-losing-streak? Probably not, but anything is possible (even Auburn scored twice on Alabama – though not on the Crimson Tide Defense). Speaking of Aubies, Jeff Parks’ Pasco County Wizards are so bad this year, that losing to the Brookside Dogs was practically a foregone conclusion. And, the old Tight End is officially in mourning over his long-time mentor Neil Calloway being fired as the “so-called” head coach at UAB. (It looks like the Blazers may snap up long time Courtland offensive coordinator Steve Cohen to be their next head man. Second on their list is Willie Wyatt, with Bucket a distant third. They could not do worse.)
Staying Alive: Juggernauts 25 – Blitz 23: Blitz Eliminated by ‘Nauts The Druid City Blitz has been eliminated from “The Big Dance.” Jerry Fritz, the “host with the most,” was shot down by a “bunch of girls” in Week 12. Now, the Yuppie Spangled Blitzers will have to face the post-season tossing Mullets in the proverbial Big Mullet Series (BMS). As for Allyson’s Jugtown Juggernauts, they live “to fight another day” keeping their slim BDCS hopes alive with an improbable, two-point vict’ry over the Blitz. The ‘Nauts have to “run the table,” to “keep hope alive,” but at least they have a chance with two weeks to go in the regular season.
Staying Alive, Part II: Mayors 20 – Power Sleds 16: Magic Still Happening for Cronies “Ha, ha, ha, ha… staying alive!” was the cry from the Cronies this weekend giving Alan flashbacks to his famous days at 2001 and the Upside Down Plaza. The Magic City Mayors proved they had a little bit of magic remaining by grounding the PowerSleds this past Sunday. The Mean Machine may have let up in this one, and rested some of their players, knowing that their ticket to the “Big Dance” is practically already punched. Those “facts” did not dampen the Cronies, who have “their backs to the wall,” but have not yet given up on the season and their paper-thin chance of making the dance.
Slovaks 29 – Gamblers 21: Dixie Mafia Embarrassed by Slovaks, Again! The Gulf Coast Gamblers may have the most points this season in the BDFL, they may have already locked up a spot in the Big Daddy Championship Series (BDCS), and they may have the inside track to the overall Number One Seed. However, they cannot beat the Lowly Fighting Slovaks. The EuroTrash Talkers are in their head. The Slovaks “beat ‘em naked, and hid their clothes.” Kenny B. is licking his wounds in Biloxi, and trying to lay low for a week or so.
Grenadiers 32 – Cheetahs 29: Commissioner Cheats Cheetahs out of Vict’ry This game was right out of a Seinfeld episode, namely the “bizarro episode,” or the one where Costanza does “the opposite” of every instinct he has. The Commissioner actually won a game. Old Iron did the opposite, and came away with a narrow win over the Sin Wagon and the Champion Cheetahs, who were riding “shotgun.” The Bulletin doesn’t really know how this happened, ‘cause we only had the final score to work with. But, it seems evident that it was in the “fluke of the universe” category (kinda like Aub scored two TDs on Bama, or Chris actually winning the BDFL two-years-ago with an 8th or 9th seeded team).
Where are they now? Kurt Prewitt – The former Alabama baseball star and former roommate to BDFLers Jaimie and Mukes. He still is in the Crimson Tide baseball record books in a couple of obscure statistical categories. He lives and works in Charlotte. He is married (Sarah) with a daughter (Morgan) and son (Will). He makes as many Bama games as he can. On his resume, he can claim tailgating with Bullet in Pasadena and in Columbia, S.C., (2010) and in Atlanta (along with Jaimie) prior to the Virginia Tech game (2009). |
