Ok - I'm back and almost have my head above water after being out of town for 8 days.
I'd like to publicly thank MaddenCoach for his hard work and dedication to the Stunners while I was away. He did a great job and I couldn't have done it better myself. Good friends are worth their weight in gold (I think -- I don't have any clue how much he weighs....interested in chiming in Madden?)
Looking at ladder games - top 100 and up (in our rookie tier)
#13 Holy Guacamole vs #7 Buffalo Beasts of Burden - should be a tough game. Guac: Madden has played this team 2 times in the ladder very close so I'm sure there is plenty of good film out there on them. This is a winnable game for you! Get back in the top 10!
#99 Eugene Hellhounds are inactive and playing the Pittsburgh Thunder. That's all I'm going to say about that.
#6 Minnesota Stunners vs #8 Capital Wastelanders - should be a tough, tough game. Wastelanders have a very talented staff and players.
#38 Shrooms vs #41 Troy Big Beavers - Come on shrooms. 38?? You are better than this...you are nowhere near a "high 30's team"
#44 EEA vs #47 New York Devil Dogs - EEA has won 5 of 6 and I think they continue that streak here (EEA - you are not a #44 rookie team...come on!)
#8 Sexy Dance Fighters vs #16 D'Haran Empire - SDF continues to be a STRONG team. Take away their failure to put in a game plan against EEA -- and their only 2 losses are to current top 5 teams. They are tough to stop.
#27 Nebraska vs #22 Winnipeg Wrath - not even worth watching - Nebraska wins this one by 17 easy.
#91 Montreal Blue Knights vs #84 Perth Scorpions - only their mothers care.
Next time I'm going to drop it to top 50 only - so keep winning you goofballs.
With 6 games to go in League Play - things are starting to sort out.
Alpha
Holy Guac - with (essentially) a 4 game lead with 6 games to go - they have cinched the Alpha Division. They won't be caught or even gained on probably.
The wild card will not be coming from Alpha
Beta
Minnesota has (essentially) a 3 game lead with 6 to go....but 3 of those games are TOUGH - Shrooms / EEA / Sexy Dance Fighters (plus some other potential upsets against current 3-5 / 4-4 teams)
Shrooms at 5-4 are 1 game out of the wildcard with a tough schedule still to play (but their not even out of winning the division yet!)
EEA - still in the hunt for both division and wild card
Sexy has a 1 game lead over Nebraska in the division race. Montreal at 4-4 is running out of hope.
If playoffs were today:
Round 1: Minnesota vs Nebraska
Guac vs Sexy
Shrooms / EEA / Montreal on the outside looking in. But anything can change in 6 games!!
