Week 11

Oh my! Time is running out and it looks like this could be one of the better playoff races in history. With zero teams being eliminated and only 3 weeks to go expect this one to end like the a race at Talladega...complete with "the big one" which will leave many teams crashed and burning. As Rev. Ray Lewis would say, "It's go time!"




----VS----
#1 Pineapple Express 121-----------Turbo Techies 105
TECHIES DROP RECORD 5TH STRAIGHT

The Turbo Techies set a record that they would rather not have. With their 5th straight loss they set a record for the worst losing streak in club history. All of this on a week in which they talked about playing the role of upset against the Pineapple Express and calling the Pineapple Express the "luckiest team in the league". The beautiful irony here is that Coach Wes used some logic in making that argument; stating that the Express had only played 2 teams that have scored over 110 points. The Pineapple Express have still only played two teams that scored over 110 points.







----VS----
Baconators 119--------------------Steel Dragons 107
BACONATORS SCORE 2ND WIN IN A ROW

So maybe early in the season the Baconators were the source of a lot of material for POTW and for some other teams. Not so fast my friend. While still not likely to make THE playoffs the Baconators have quietly put together a good run, oddly enough, since losing RB Bryan Westbrook. The Steel Dragons on the other hand are headed in the opposite direction as with their 2nd straight loss the Appalachian Conference is now out of reach and they can only look forward to a wildcard or more likely trying to get a spot in the NIT playoffs*.

*calling it the "NIT Playoffs" conveys the appropriate message and is much shorter than writing out "The playoffs for teams that didn't make THE playoffs but still get to play for the 1st overall draft pick in 2010." So NIT Playoffs will now refer to what I just said.

#2 Tenn. Valley Vipers 134--------------- #8 Fatboys 133
FATBOYS OUT-COACH THEMSELVES IN CLOSE DEFEAT

100% of the time nothing works 100% of the time; 60% of the time it works everytime. If you understand this concept you can begin to see why the Fatboys loss this week*. Coach Fudge started the Lions defense due to their matchup against the Cleveland Browns because, let's face it, the Browns are a complete train wreck and have score less than 10 offensive TDs this season...so start your defense against them. Problem; that math does not work when you factor in the fact YOUR defense against them will be the Detroit Lions. The Lions managed to pull out -9 points against the Brady Quinn lead Browns.
Fans in Detroit know what to expect from the Lions. You should too.

#7 Gusmeisters 143--------------------#5 Mallards 124
DUCKS FALL TO GUSMEISTERS

Only getting beat by 18 points and still being the Toyota Blowout of the Week doesn't seem fair but that shows just how close all the games were this week. If you in the Mallards camp an 18 point loss is especially frustrating as you have to think TE Owen Daniels and WR Dwyane Bowe or Anthony Gonzalez would have come in handy in this kinda game.







----VS----
da Bears 152-----------------------#3 Frat-tastics 159
REPEAT OF 2009?

The Frat-tastics have shot up to #1 in the Road to Auburn conference and look to be in good position to make a run at the playoffs again this year. The Frat-tastics spent the first half of the season struggling to find wins but have turned it on the 2nd half of the season, just like they did last year when they took that late momentum all the way to the Super Bowl. Sadly da Bears most recent loss eliminates them from any shot at winning the Appalachian Conference but they could still rally to find a spot in the NIT.





----VS----
Decepticons 108---------------#4 Bama Black Bears 101
DECEPTICONS OUT PILLOW FIGHT THE WATER BEARS

"I'd like to have that one back." While not a direct quote from coach Comer it was probably something close to what he said...ok honestly he probably said something like "fuck" but you get the idea. Sitting on the coveted #4/wildcard spot the the Bama Black Bears had only to beat the 108 point scoring Decepticons, had their RB played they may have been able to do it. If Turner was out of the game then surely WR Roy Williams (yes the same douche bag who nicknamed himself "the Legend") pulled a legendary performance and played 4 quarters without catching a single pass. The best part? Yahoo does not even consider that news worth as they has no breaking news. It is as if yahoo saw him score zero points in a game and said, "Fuck that guy, I'm really just not that surprised he couldn't catch a pass." If the Bama Black Bears miss THE playoffs by 1 game expect coach Comer to beat Roy Williams with a hose
Roy Williams is just as shocked as you by his lack of ability




----VS----
Ragin' Girth of Fury 119---------#6 Fergs 132
FERGS SURVIVE BYE WEEK

Coach Ferg actually did say something to that effect in his Smack Talk. I understand the feeling. The RGoF is the rookie team in the league and has struggled (a lot) at times but many of you (of us) can't laugh because they still managed to beat us. Playing the RFoF is kinda like playing Boise State. You really don't take them seriously and you have everything to lose with nothing much to gain. The Fergs did however gain their way to the wildcard spot with this win.

Happy Thanksgiving

See you after week 12...
