Warrior General Games

So, since when has Buffalo been in the West of anything? Grumble, grumble, grumble, americans and their lack of geographical knowledge, grumble, grumble, get off my damn lawn, grumble, grumble. Was bad enough with Tallahassee before (yes Hate I know it's West of your moms house but I still don't think that's what was meant).

With another suspiciously long away trip for the Maulers, we're paying a visit to probably the favourites this year for the title in the West. The Rangers are consistantly top 5 in each position level-wise for the league, and the starting depth should give them the edge in an interesting matchup between early 2-0 teams. First big indicator for us Maulers as to how we'll do this season.

In a matchup with history, Tucson and Tallahassee face off in a poetry battle of epic proportions. Tallahassee have found the step up so far this season a little tough, and a tough loss to Buffalo between the two most Eastern Western teams ended up with Buffalo racking up 41 points on the Teabaggers usually airtight D. Tucson have been comfortable so far this season after a tough campaign toughened them up first time up in A#7, and head into the game a slight favourite in the football. The poetry will be a slightly more competitive showdown if Moses and Hate manage to drag themselves out of their teams respective jacuzzis pre-game.

Omaha and San Diego have their own thread already so will leave the build up to them. That pretty much sums up the big games in the West for the week, with the other games being less competitive. Should be the first week the league picture starts to become clear.

Someone want to break down the East?

I will decline to comment on the East, since I finally have my scrimmage with the Ambush so my team can do the talking - but I would like to reflect on your geographical commentary.

I too am a man who's delicate sensibilities are offended by the GLB community's utter lack of geographical knowledge - but let's be honest. Buffalo and Tallahassee deserve credit for selecting cities that are actually cities at all, and cities in their correct region no less. Of course, that isn't to say that if the Rangers and Teabaggers played in, say, Southeast Asia A, that they wouldn't be located in the scenic locales of Buffalo, Cambodia and Tallahassee, China. But since they were fortunate enough to get USA teams, we will never have to know! And again, at least they are real cities - that's right RGB, I'm talking to you. Unless somebody named a city after the additive color model and I don't know about it, a justification is necessary. The Naked Mole Rats up in AA4 are even more irritating. At least RGB could pass for a noun. Naked is an adjective. Do you have any idea how annoying it is reading their box scores and seeing "Naked: 256 yard touchdown crawl by so and so"?

rj - I worked with a lady who lived in Spicewood. If I recall correctly, doesn't get much more rural than that.

FWIW - Omaha Dogs name hasn't changed since Bort used that when releasing the USA BBB teams at the time. I'm old school like that...

Tucson Nighthawks is a Bort's original, also. The running joke in the locker room is before every season we have a 'new name' thread and have even had new logos for some of them in the past. We're never gonna actually change it I don't think, but it's something to talk about in the offseason..

Aye, a Bort original here as well, I got first pick at the time and it was the best name in the 6 BBB leagues I checked. Almost changed it to the Kodiak City Maulers but we stuck with Anchorage in the end, bigger fanbase .

does anyone remember when the Battle Creek Bullies were the atachafalaya swamp voodoo? I bet that was a bort original!

So what's the line Vegas is putting on our game? You gotta be favored by, what, 6-7 TDs?

at one point, there actually was a reason for the RGB name. the reason quickly became obsolete, but we were stuck with it.

besides, it reminds me of a european soccer team. :o)

I've always wondered. I thought it was Red-Green-Blue (color model based on additive color primaries).

Yes... I had to Google that to get all the big words. Ya know, like additive & primaries.

nah, truth be told, we were originally the "B" team of another team from a fantasy website (the "RG" in our name) we all post on. the whole plan was to work as a minor league squad and build players to eventually make it to the "A" team.

the problem was that those who owned the "A" team didn't understand that we still needed to win games, to build stadiums, to make money, to stay alive as a team, and so on, and there eventually was a not too pretty parting of the ways.

That makes much more sense. I always wondered if the owner of RGB was just some nerdy 14 year old who thought the additive color model was cool. But as far as I can tell, you're not stuck with it - you can rename your team as much as you want, can't you?

Nah, probably just 3 or 4.

i'm pretty sure you only get one name change.

the concept with the other team was, in theory, a good one, but neither WK or i liked the "win at all costs" sort of attitude they had, including things like telling somebody they'd insert them into the slot position, doing so for one game, and then dropping them down to WR4 or 5 the rest of the way.

not sure if i ever told Weykool (our owner) this, but the Berzerker part of our name was yet another pro-wrestling tribute by me, tying into three different wrestlers. Nord the Barbarian, who basically was Bruiser Brody lite, and eventually was re-named the Berzerker. Brody is one of my all time favorite wrestlers, and one of the all-time legends, and while Nord wasn't bad, he was no Brody. what they had in common was that they were both giants - well over 6 and a half feet tall, 300 pounds, and both just looked like crazed wildmen.

enter a more recent wrestler (and friend of mine), Jimmy Jacobs, who is all of 5 foot 6 and 175 pounds, IF THAT. a fantastic wrestler, who early in his career, used to run around calling himself the Barbaric Berzerker, totally imitating the mannerisms of the two larger men, which was quite hysterical.

Wrestlers? Are you serious???
Maybe you could call Bort on your "Vince McMahon Phone", Tell him you're 'The Tree', and he could script you a title, LOL!
BTW, you guys do have a great owner and DC as well.
