The Lyon Demons, who finished 5-11 last season, defeated the undefeated Panthers by a convincing margin: 20-9 and improve to 7-2.

Talk about a turnaround!

Just a little bit.

The Panthers have been rattled by a few teams this season already - so an upset was always on the cards at some point, but once they squoze past Madrid, Grass Roots and Manchester Fire (the other "best" teams last year) it looked like it was going to be the play-offs before someone knocked them off their perch again.

With no disrespect intended, the Panthers are not the force they were last year. And considering we got thumped by them last season, it is good to get them back this season. Onwards!

Congrats to Lyon for repeating aToFaI's feat. The play-offs are looking pretty interesting now.

just keep in mind that, by the pure nature of how this game has been written, weaker teams will catch up better teams a lot quicker as seasons do go on. The same thing is happening in Alpha as well. Saying that, good recruitment does have a lot to do with it as well

Well, I don't know if I'd go that far. The Panthers are still, in my book, the best team in the league.

But on any given Sunday, as it were...

Great game guys. I hate the loss but I would rather it be now then later on. We will meet again. Until then, best of luck on the rest of the season.

Grats to Lyon for being the first team to turn over the Panthers in the regular season.

Regardsing later n in the season; As long as the Zeta winner beats the Alpha winner we don't mind who wins it and joins us in AAA

Hopefully your assumption is incorrect langer - I think it's Alpha's turn this year!

No way. Zeta will take it once again.

Alpha got their butt kicked pretty bad last year (if you count the scrimmage games in as well)

And I it will be the same this year...although I must say some of the ALPHA's look strong.

Not when you are looking at the games that counted - last game of the season. We trounced you guys.

I guess it is pretty even. Be interesting to see what it will be like at the end of this season

I remember the only reason we beat the Danes was because of a ginormous reception from Asha Greyjoy that set up the game winning FG, as I recall that game was a *little* bit of a steal by Zeta



[By the way it's not all it's cracked up to be in AAA.... way too many awesome teams]
