Week 10

Why did it take so long to get POTW out? Good question with a better answer. I deleted it. Thanks to a mistake on my part POTW was ready for press when I forgot to save it. So I worked just hard enough to pick up the broken pieces and duct tape them back together so I could get this out before I had to title it POTW Week 11.

The Jihad Bowl

----VS----
#7 Fatboys 113----------------------Baconators 145

The Fatboys came into this game having never beaten the Baconators. They kept that streak alive as Coach Al broken out the Monopoly pieces and the DR Field and Brush Mower. With the win the Baconators climb into a tie for last and the Fatboys go back to being a .500 football team.

The Theta Bowl

----VS----
#1 Pineapple Express 165--------------#5 Fergs 156

I'm not going to say much about Coach Wes' remarks about how the Pineapple Express has only played 2 teams that scored over 110 pts and I'm not going to remark about Coach Ov saying they are playing to their competition. Both remarks are true and in the end the only stat that matters is a W or an L (ok, so I did comment on it). The game against the Fergs was very close and could have been better had the Pineapple Express RB Ray Rice gotten to play the Cleveland Browns, who at this point look like they would not be competitive in the NFL Europe*.

* I know this league does not exist so feel free to sub in WNBA or the United Football League

Tennessee River Shootout

----VS----
#4 Mallards 116-----------------------#2 Tenn. Valley Vipers 122

You could make the argument that neither team really deserved to win and you'd be right...of course you would also have to immediately discount any team that ever wins when they don't score 100 points and any team that scores under 110 (since Wes seems to have made that a golden standard). In the end one of these teams was bound to win and with the Mallards QB playing the Browns on Monday Night Football you had to think it would be the ducks...sorry, that still bothers me. Can anyone tell me why the fuck the Cleveland Browns were even on Monday Night Football? Seriously. What did we do to deserve that? If we can get the Browns why can't we get the Lions vs. Rams, Redskins vs. Chiefs, or Raiders vs. Oakland High School for our next few Monday Night games.

The Peach Bowl

----VS---
Ragin' Girth of Fury 92-----------------Steel Dragons 159

Well that didn't take long. The Battle for Atlanta/Woodstock GA was over before it began is some ways. The Steel Dragons took little time in thrashing their cross street rivals as Coach Hand celebrated turning 30. Probably a good thing he wasn't watching this game or it would have aged him much faster.

Lawyer Bowl

----VS----
da Bears 104--------------------------#6 Bama Black Bears 118

A great battle between two lawyer head coaches, two bear named teams, two teams that POTW always picks to finish high in the standings, and two teams that have not found anything that even resembles consistency this year. While both teams are still very much alive they look like Tennessee (minus the massive arrests), as they can dominate one week, lose or win a great close game another week, and then get blown out by a bad team yet another week. In this game they were both able to shine and so what they do best; have a player score 30 pts. while another player scores negative points. The bright spot for the eventual winner Bama Black Bears is that in week 10 QB Jay Cutler had as many fantasy points (5) as his threw interceptions in week 9. Congrats to Cutler, really looks like he has that thing headed in the right direction.

Birmingham.MIS.com Bowl

----VS----
#8 Turbo Techies 129-------------Decepticons 147

My how the worm has turned for the once mighty Techies. Reduced to a war or words with the Decepticons in a humiliating loss and still ranked dead last in the PAC 4 conference. The impressive point total for the Techies has not translated into wins and the verbal smack down from CT was enough to have the Techie fans headed for the exits early in this game. Time to get that trophy down out of the closet, perhaps pretend to clean it up, and get ready to send it to a new home for 2010.

Magic City Classic

----VS----

Frat-tastics 125-------------------#3 Gusmeisters 104

With a chance to take a firm grasp on the Road to Auburn Conference the Gusmeisters ran out on the field and promptly shit the bed. In an even more ironic twist the Gusmeisters, who came into this game ranked #3 in the land, would fall to #7 after the loss and the Frat-tastics would climb all the way to #3 in the league and #1 in the Road to Auburn Conference. Much like Larry Langford being mayor of Birmingham the Gusmeisters will want to pretend this never happened.

See you after week 11...
