1. So Cal BDC vs. 8. Melbourne Thorny Devils

Lots of history here. Melbourne ran the table over BDC twice in Season 4 en route to their promotion to Oceania PRO in unexpected fashion. BDC regrouped and hired this beast known as Denver and stormed their way up to the PRO's for Season 6. Since then, this matchup has been all BDC with three straight wins, and none of them close. BDC in a walk, 56-24.

2. Banzai Pipeline 'Nites vs. 7. Vanuatu Kava Sharks

Both long-time Oceania PRO talented squads here. The Nites have been the class of Zeta with 4 straight championship appearances, going 2-2 in championship games. They'll look to use their sneaky gameplanning skills and ridiculous propensity for creating turnovers to send them to the second round again. Vanuatu has been inconsistent and facing internal turmoil, but they seem to be a threat to steal a game at any time. Still, the Nites prevail, 35-27.

3. Brisbane Heat vs. 6. Matu-Utu Voodoo

The Heat have been a dominant team in Oceania PRO since making their way here for Season 4. They are always a home playoff team it seems and a strong one at that. The Voodoo are newcomers, and despite a few blips on the radar have had a great season. The have a shot at an upset, but I think the Heat prevail on the back of their defense, 27-19.

4. Samoa Gangsters vs. 5. Cook Island Convicts

You couldn't have asked for a better 4-5 matchup. Dpell and Moose have had their differences this season on the boards at times, as dpell has lost his cool over certain bortifications this season. Still, they made up on the boards recently, but with this match on Wednesday I think the gloves are back off. Samoa was storming through Oceania PRO before runnning into the wall known as the Heat defense. The convicts finished their season with a tight win over a hungry Crushers team, but let slip that they have a new I-Form defense...Crushers didn't run an I-Form, so is this a defense that will be first tested vs. Samoa? Stay tuned. In the end, I think Samoa has had the Convicts number too often lately and I'm not sure dpell has the answer. Samoa takes this one in stride, 44-24.

We match up poorly with Samoa and for the second season in a row have to play them in the first round. That's not a personal thing, just that what they do best seems to be something we struggle with stopping. It's never been that I ever thought they were cheating which apparently they thought I was insinuating. (I'm not even sure how you'd cheat at this game.) That said, I really hope we can keep it closer than 20 points.

Just adding fuel to the rivalry fire

I never thought you were saying they were cheating either, but its a good storyline

There is some possibility of course, but to me this seasons first round in Zeta is pretty vanilla

I hope I'm wrong of course.

I hope so too. Cause we gotta go through the Heat to get our rematch with the Nites*.


*Given they beat the Sharks

Ever played Madden online? It isn't so much 'cheating' as it is the accusations that get tossed around of cheese-balling, cheesing, or whatever they call it on there nowadays. Where people run cheesy money plays that are near impossible to stop. It is a pretty harsh term to toss at someone, and I thought it was being tossed at us. But as we've discussed in PMs, that is past me now and I'm cool with things. As I've said, when it first happened, I was a bit more miffed and used slightly more harsher words than I should have. But its good now, on my end.

No, I don't play Madden. It got too complicated the year they added the vision cone. I haven't bought a copy since. Now I mostly play boring games that won't harm the developing minds of my two daughters. When my brothers are playing Halo and COD I have to play Lego Star Wars or Guitar Hero.

SCACE, check your PMs!

(I didn't send any, I just wanted to feel cool like McGruff and Ubass.)

CIC, I hope we piss you off some more. Not to be an asshole, but we've been sorely lacking for rivalry since killing the Super Bears. (Well, there's Barossa, but I mean relevant rivals.)




(P.S. luv u Barossa)
