TOP STORY: WEEK #17

Jumping The Broom

The Tribe rattles off an unbelievable 10 straight wins to finally win their first title after 17 years as the league's bridesmaid

NASHVILLE - "Jumping the broom" is a phrase and custom related to wedding ceremonies in many different cultures over time and around the world including Africa, England, Scotland, Wales, Hungary and even in Native America in particular with the Poarch Band of Creek Indians in nowadays Alabama. However, the Black Creek Indians have had a hard time getting over the broom. "Poor 'ol Kawliga, he never got a kiss. Poor ol Kawliga, he don't know what he missed. Is it any wonder that his face is red? Kawliga, that poor ol' wooden head." So if he couldn't get a kiss, then "jumping the broom" was difficult to say the least. Down and out and in the doghouse at 0-7, the Pine Knot Warriors did the impossible. First, rattling off seven straight wins to get in to the BDCS. Then they strung together three more to win their first league title and cement their name in BDFL lore.

The trade for Nick Folk was one turning point in The Tribe's tribulations
