From underneath a rock in Media Void
Woosiers 43 - Cheetahs 28: Woosiers Flip the Switch You know it is the second half of the season when the Smoke Rise Woosiers “flip the switch,” and start their annual surge toward the post-season and beyond. The defending, and four-time BDFL Champion Riverchase Cheetahs found this out in Week 9. The Sin Wagon was run over by the Blount County Pumpkin Parade. Tommy T’s Woo Crew has laid low thus far in 2011, but now the Master Woo has his team ready for the stretch run. The Woosiers need some wins, but they are quickly making up for lost time. As for the Cheetahs, they are just glad to be out of Hayden, and glad to have avoided an A.W.
Sloth Monsters 36 - Juggernauts 24: Mukes Wins in Return to Rocket Stadium The Jugtown Juggernauts are having a good season this year, but they still couldn’t handle the Silver Lakes Sloth Monsters this past weekend. Fueled by a flashback return to Rocket Stadium, the Three Toed Tree Dwellers were firing on all cylinders on Sunday, and out-ran the Rice Rockets by a dozen points. Afterwards, Mukes and his contingent of consignment-selling women went out for a “beer and a burger,” although they probably had to leave the friendly confines of Gardendale to do so.
Trio of Teams Score 26, and Win:
Wooden Warriors 26 – Grenadiers 21: In Hand Brother Battle, Little Hand Prevails In the bowels of Fultondale, the Black Creek Wooden Warriors played host to the Mineral Springs Grenadiers in Week 9. And, this one was a blood bath from beginning to end. Even though the Commissioner is having a rough time this season, his team put up a good fight before suffering the “agony of defeat” to Kawliga and Company. For the Tribe, the vict’ry was sweet vindication for team that has been harshly treated by the Commissioner’s Office in 2011. Apparently, Hime also celebrated with a “beer and a burger,” meeting up with Mukes at Carroll’s, Hooten’s or some other friendly neighborhood establishment, south of the Gardendale “2 nice people live here,” city limit sign.
PowerSleds 26 - Wizards 24: Mean Machine Gets Mean Mad Jack Barnes’ Mean Machine was in an awful mood, madder than normal, when Sunday rolled around after returning to Fairfield late Saturday Night following the latest “Game of the Century.” In fact, the PowerSleds stayed up the remainder of the wee hours of Sunday Morning, harnessing their anger and attempting to re-channel it into a BDFL vict’ry. The plan worked. However, it wasn’t easy. The Pasco County Wizards put up a pretty good fight at the Dolodome, before being vanquished by two points in a real thriller. Ironically, the Sledhead made all of their field goals, while Parks’ team was doomed by 4-missed field goals by his buddy, Robert “Book Worm” McGinty.
Dogs 26 - Slovaks 10 (Toilet Seat): Marks Mutts Bark Loud and Proud The cure for what ails you continues to be “playing the Slovaks.” And even though the Dogs had to leave Brookside and travel to Oak Mountain, they felt right at home with the atmosphere surrounding a typical Slovaks home game. ASlo’s stadium and surrounding tailgate areas looks a lot like the back-40 just off Church Street in the aforementioned Brookside, with horseshoes (not corn hole), kielbasa grilling, and various other Eastern European customs taking place. Add to that, that the Slovaks are awful, and you can stomach a trip there (especially with some Gaviscon) because it usually ends with a vict’ry. The Dogs got a big win in Week 9, and are now is very good condition heading toward the second half of the season as they try to end their 15-year losing streak in the BDFL. As for the Slovaks, and their long-running losing streak, they added yet another “Toilet Seat” award to their staggering number after Week 9 action.
Gamblers 24 - Blitz 17: Dixie Mafia Covers Point Spread by Half Point Well, the Druid City Blitz crashed back to Earth after so much “German Invasion” clutter crowded the BDFL website last weekend. Just like the real Germans, who ultimately got their butts kicked in the last two, big, organized wars the Blitz tasted a painful defeat in Week 9. It was the Gulf Coast Gamblers who taught the Yuppie-Spangled Preppies a lesson this past Sunday. And, not only did the Real Deal get the vict’ry, he paid “respect” to the Dixie Mafia by making sure his team covered the spread, albeit by just a half-point. But needless to say, he was the toast of the town by Monday Night’s end in both Biloxi and Gulf Port.
Bullets 18 - Mayors 16: Bullets Prevail, but Fail to Cover by Half Point The Benton Bullets fell a point-short of covering the points spread against the awful Magic City Mayors. But to quote the family patriarch, “a win is a win is a win.” In other words, the Boys from Benton will take it. It’s an important vict’ry for the Bullets, inching them one step closer to the post-season – the Big Daddy Championship Series (not the Mullet Series). As for Alan’s under-achievers they are now almost “locks” for the bracket portion of the BDFL post-season that starts with pulling a slimy fish out of a bucket and giving it a hurl. On the positive side, you do get to spend a lot of time at the FloraBama.
Where are they now? Curt Jarvis and Mike “Bucket” Burkett – Well both were at the Quad Saturday, probably explaining why the Crimson Tide lost. The “package deal” boys were trying their best to hang with the Misfits of ’81 (Gaddy, Belrose, Bullet, Estis, Manasco, and Bolden), but were clearly out of their element. So, to answer the question, “where are they now,” the Bulletin would say, “they’re around.” Put it his way, Bucket said his son Andrew is the center at GHS, and Jarvis lives in Morris and has a son and a daughter around 5 and 6-years old. His text message to Bullet was, “kiss my @$$.” So, read what you want into that. However, both Jarvis and Bucket were “hurting” well before kickoff after consuming one-too-many of Gaddy’s ‘special long-stem cherries soaked in a mystery substance.’ |
