The Bulletin - Week 10

From underneath a rock in Media Void

Week 10 - Never let the facts get it the way of a good story

Woodies Whip (with Big A.W.) Old, Slow, Cheetahs:

Once Old Kawliga & Company got their backs firmly up against the wall of the tee pee, they decided to “come out fighting,” with tomahawks swinging and arrows and spears flying. So far, it has worked. The Black Creek Wooden Warriors have rattled off 3-straight wins after starting the season 0-7. The latest victim is the BDFL’s elder statesman, Butch Neal, and his suddenly old, and slow Sin Wagon. The Cheetah Man ain’t what he used to be. And, he’s even far less after the Tribe rolled into Sammy’s and put a big ole A.W. on him. Bochephus’ 30-point win is certainly a high point – in a season of lows – for the Woodies. But, it puts them in a position where they haven’t been eliminated YET from the Big Daddy Championship Series. And, that’s what it’s all about (other than the kids).

The miniature and figurative Grand Daddy Award this week goes to the Wooden Warriors:

Well, the Woodies could have “phoned it in” (like Auburn and Tennessee) when they fell to 0-7 on the season. But, Hime wouldn’t let that happen, and the Tribe deserves a little credit for continuing to “try” (and win). This award goes in addition to their “officially sanctioned” BDFL “Big Daddy of the Week” prize.

Mayors Shut- Up Slovaks with Big A.W.:

The “pucker factor” (see chart below) keeps increasing for the Null Set, Oak Mountain Fighting Slovaks. Even though ASlo has had the best BDFL season of his lifetime, he’s still “sweating out” getting that all-important 7^th vict’ry. It obviously did NOT come in Week Eleven. Not only did the EuroTrash Talkers NOT get a “W,” they were blown out by the Magic City Mayors in a rout, an annihilation, an A.W. “What’s an A.W.?” one of the Cronies said as he walked away from the Old Gray Lady, and across Graymont Avenue, to the Tide and Tiger for a vict’ry celebration. It was a dominant win for the Mayors, and an all-important win, pushing the Cronies to the 7-win mark and virtually assuring them a spot in the BDCS.

“Slovak Second” – Sponsored by ALFA and CTSN:

“Slovaks pretty much know BS when they see it, smell, it touch it, etc.” said Chris Hand (1/2 Slovak – just like Adam - but Adam has the Slovensky last name).

Commissioner Gets Back in Win Column by Sending Blitz to Mullet Series:

It is official. The Druid City Blitz has been eliminated from the Big Dance (surprise, surprise). Fritz & Company laid another egg, scoring only 18-points, and losing to the Commissioner by four. It gives the “host with the most” 8-losses, and a one-way ticket to the FloraBama (for the Mullet Series). As for the Mineral Springs Grenadiers, they are just glad to get back in the win column after a terribly embarrassing loss to the Benton Bullets last week; a loss that ruined their perfect season. The Commissioner still has a low point total (to go with his 9-1 record), so he needs teams above him to NOT qualify (under the Bullet Rule) in order to secure a place in the BDCS.

PowerSleds Power Past Sloth Monsters, Now Both Stand at 5-5:

The Fairfield PowerSleds romped and stomped all weekend in the shadows of Southern Electric Steel. The Mean Machine had the Metal Music blaring loudly as they caused Mukes and his Three Toed Tree Dwellers to “lose their grip.” The Sloth Monsters also lost their cool in the midst of one of their worst defeats ever. When the smoke cleared (and it took a long, long time), the scoreboard read: Sleds 50, Sloths 15. That’s an A.W. by any definition – a 35-point loss. Now, Mad Jack and the Son of Slim were all “buddy, buddy” afterwards… with Mad even springing for the Stroh’s Lights. But, both teams are at the crossroads in 2012, with identical records of 5-5, and point totals “in the middle of the pack.” Which one makes a deal with the devil, may be the one that gets into the championship bracket in December.

Gamblers Snap Back with Epic Upset of Armadillos:

Kurt Prewitt couldn’t stand it any longer. He had to come to Alabama to flaunt his Duncanville Armadillos, and their BDFL “numero uno” point total, and winning streak. By the time he left the state this weekend, his beloved Crimson Tide and ‘Dillos had suffered upset losses. But, while Alabama lost to “Johnny Football” and a pretty decent A&M team, the Armadillos were embarrassed by the 3-7, Gulf Coast Gamblers. The Dixie Mafia had the lowest point total going into Week Eleven. However, Kenny Breal has his team fired up, and they were able to pull off the upset, 29-15, over the “Road Killers.”

Brookside Dogs Earning Respect Each and Every Week:

“R-E-S-P-E-C-T” is usually the song you can hear the Jugtown Juggernauts humming as they try to consistently earn respect in the male-dominated BDFL. However, this weekend, Mark Burr, had to tune going (in his head) as his Brookside Dogs bit the ‘Nauts squarely in the hind parts. Dog returned to Rocket Stadium on Sunday and proceeded to look like his cousins (Paul ‘Pablo’ Fields and Randall ‘Doolie’ Fields) by powering his team past Allyson’s “bunch of girls.” Mark’s Mutts now look like a lock (with 7 wins) for the BDCS, while the ‘Nauts fall to .500 on the season, and are staring down the barrel of another year with the Null Sets.

Wildcats Shoot Down Bullets:

The Western Hills Wildcats reached the 7-vict’ry plateau this week, and look to be a lock for the BDCS come December. The BioCats scratched past the Benton Bullets in Week Eleven, 28-22. The “James Gang” welcomed the Bullerino to Five Points (West) with some old-fashioned, gold-labeled, warm Miller’s, and a sack of “gut grenades” (Krystal’s – they were on special for just a quarter each). When Bullet started to “turn green,” J.J. knew it was time to strike. The BioCats deployed their patented 4-wide-out set, and spread the Bullets out “like cream cheese.” The loss was hard to take for the Bullets, who have been just hanging on by a thread all season, and have now dropped to 5-5, and need two-wins, and a lot of other losses by other teams (Oregon, K St, and Notre Dame) just to make finish on a high note in 2012 (or 2013).

Peaking at the Right Time – Woosiers Stomp Wizards:

Stop us if you’ve heard this before… well, nevermind… the Bulletin can’t be stopped, you can only hope to “contain it.” The Smoke Rise Woosiers appear to peaking at the right time. However, playing the Pasco County Wizards will certainly help you accomplish that (and get a W). Merlin’s terrible team fell to 1-9 on the season, and got completely “out-classed” by the Woo Crew in Week Eleven. And, that’s harder than it sounds. All Tommy Todd (5-5) needs is two more wins, and his Hayden Haymakers are practically guaranteed a spot in the BDCS, especially with his “rather large,” point total, that is second in the Red Neck Division, behind only the Duncanville Armadillos. Meanwhile, the Rugged Red Neck Division is also tops among all BDFL Divisions (as it usually is this time of year… crunch time).

Quote of the week:

“We looked like Ned and the First Reader,” – The Commissioner (or Coach T.K. Morton).

Notables:

Wil Prewitt had a great season as a “blocking” wide receiver for the Marvin Gardens JV football team this season, up in the Carolinas. Meanwhile, Morgan Prewitt is all set to attend the Capstone this year (so things are looking up for KP, even away from the BDFL).
