Week 14

Last week of the regular season, and last week in general for many of you. Since it is already Wednesday, and apparently this is the 2nd most anticipated POTW of the year based on how many of you are asking about it, I will post a playoff preview POTW for this Friday. But first let us give credit where credit is due:

Congrats Fergs, 2009 Road to Auburn Conference Champs





----VS----
#1 Pineapple Express 135--------------#4 Gusmesiters 126
EXPRESS DERAIL GUSMEISTERS

With the wildcard in their possession all the Gusmeisters had to do was beat the Pineapple Express in order to setup a rematch against this very same team in the first round of the playoffs. The Pineapple Express apparently like variety as they ended the Gusmeisters season officially during the Monday Night game. The Cardinals defense did not play too poorly seeing as how they allowed 5 points while the Cardinals offense turned the ball over 7 times. It is pretty unfair to a defense to put them in that situation all game long and expect them to post big numbers.
<---Cardinals offense; pull handle and ball pops out

----VS----
Baconators 119---------------------Turbo Techies 157
DEATH FOR BACONATORS

Grudge match if ever there was one. And there was one. The two skull logo teams have fitting logos as they are the best at shit talking and seem to love nothing more than beating each other. In a week filled with verbal taunts back and forth it appeared that the Turbo Techies and Baconators would be playing for the next-to-last draft pick as they would secure the worst record in the league. Fate is a fickle mistress. The Turbo Techies not only won the game but due to the stars aligning in the other games they will make the NIT and get to play for the #1 overall draft pick. I can hear the collective groan from all of you.

Like it or not you have to admit. The Turbo Techies are pretty hard to kill off.

----VS----
#3 Tenn. Valley Vipers 153-------------#5 Frat-tastics 122
SLAM!

With the Gusmeisters going down the Frat-tastics took over the wildcard spot and needed only a win against the sporadic Vipers in order to secure their own spot in THE playoffs. The Frat-tastics took an early lead and Vipers RB Rashard Mendenhall did very little so it appeared the Frat-tastics would be on their way back to play for a second straight Super Bowl appearance. Then the Vipers air attack took flight and slammed another wildcard door shut once and for all. Coach Askew can only sit and wonder what the season would have gone like had QB Matt Ryan stayed healthy.

----VS----
#7 Mallards 111------------------------Decepticons 67
THANKS FOR PLAYING

The Decepticons season is over. Make that was over. With an anemic 67 point showing it appears that Coach CT's team was done playing after week 13, although some of you would argue they never really started this season. Perhaps the Decepticons should have taken Coach Wes' advice and changed their name to the Cobras so they could have experienced the same down-in-flames fate as the GI Joe movie.






----VS----
da Bears 118-------------------------#2 Fergs 140
HIBERNATION COMES EARLY

It is that time of year again. Playoff time. Time for the Fergs to start winning every week and for da Bears to disappear. Good thing da Bears have Andre Johnson, because without him I have no idea what kind of jersey's da Bears would sell in their pro shop. Johnson posted 42 points in his final game of the season which is more than every player (including the defense) on da Bears combined (with the expection of QB McNabb). You read that right, Andre Johnson beat just about the entire da Bears roster all by himself.

----VS----
#6 Fatboys 154-----------------------#8 Steel Dragons 120
OINK OINK!

So it seems every other review I am telling you a sad story about how a team had the wildcard spot and lost it. Then there was the little pigs who could. The Fatboys. While the Steel Dragons needed a win to secure their NIT spot the Fatboys needed the win to make THE playoffs, a win they were able to achieve in dramatic fashion. The Steel Dragons were again transformed into the Tin Lizards as Randy Moss decided he did not want to play in the NIT or play at all in week 14 for that matter. He posted a memorable .6 points in Coach Plousis' last battle in the 2009 campaign. While Coach Plousis was unavailable for comment I'm sure it was something like this, "Fuck that guy."


----VS----
Ragin' Girth of Fury 109.65----------------Bama Black Bears 109.15
NIGHTMARE COMES TO A CLOSE FOR BEARS

So in every review I told you a tale of how a team had a wildcard spot and lost it. The tale of the 2009 Bama Black Bears will go down in memory as one of these tales. Heading into the month of November the Bama Black Bears were the favorite for the wildcard and in the top 5 in total points scored. The team had been inconsistent but most felt they would pull it together down the stretch. They pulled it together down the stretch about as well as Barbaro did, with the same result I may ad. The Bama Black Bears drowned in the last month losing their last 4 games and not only missing out on the wildcard but on the NIT all together. There are train wrecks and then there is the 2009 Bama Black Bears season.
For Coach Comer and the rest of the Bama Black Bears, this, is how it would end...




See you, Friday for the 2009 Playoff Preview...
