Prognostications - Week 12
By Spaceman Spiff
Wooden Warriors vs. Bullets
Jaimie Hand and his "Splendid Splinters" have certainly lived up to
their name having emerged as the BDFL front-runner heading into Week 12
while brother Bullet and the "Copperhead Road Confederacy" have had the
equivalent of a Lowndes County sized mud hole stomped into them more
often than not this season. Nevertheless, a victory here would go a long
ways in salving the wounds the Bullets have suffered at the hands of the
rest of the BDFL while the Wooden Warriors will try to keep their
momentum headed in the right direction. Fortunately for Jaimie, there
should be plenty to eat for his "Black Crick Braves" over Thanksgiving
because the Bullets have enough turkeys on their team to feed a small
army.
Wizard's Winner...the Wooden
Warriors.
Juggernauts vs. Power Sleds
Allyson Edwards started off the season at top speed, but quickly lost a
few cylinders on her "Hondo Hot Rod" and quickly faded from contention.
However, if her "JuggerNOTS" want to gain some redemption they will have
to drop the hammer at a much faster and more furious pace to keep up
with "Mad Jack" Barnes and his "Midnight Train to Memphis Mud Packers",
which have quietly streaked to within striking distance of the division
leading Grenades despite basically being a one-man gang. All of the
"experts" have this one marked as an easy victory for the Sleds, but the
Great Wizardo sees trouble ahead on the Fairfield to Memphis line, and
smells and upset (or at least a back door cover) in the making.
Wizard's Winner...the Juggernauts.
Wildcats vs. Grenades
Chris Hand has ruled the league with an iron fist since the BDFL's
inception, but has decided to pick up his toys and try his luck
elsewhere after failing to win a BDFL title despite several close calls.
The imminent move to Nashville will no doubt involve dusting off the
Octagon to haul Chris' BDFL apparel northwards in the dead of night no
doubt. However, if he's lucky, maybe Billy Cole and K.B. can keep him
company on the lonely ride up I-65. Meanwhile, the "James' Gang" will
come calling at the final home game at George Ward Memorial with high
hopes of robbing Chris of a much needed victory as the Gray Beard
Division tightens and the "Bullet" rule looms ominously in the distance
for Chris. In the end, the only string music Chris will find this
weekend will be the noose the Wildcats put around his neck late Sunday
evening.
Wizard's Winner...the Wildcats.
Wizards vs. Bootleggers
The "Pinball Wizards" have been hitting tilt more often than not in
recent weeks and haven't gotten the replay in quite a while, but had
best get their game in order before heading to Thunder Valley to take on
the "Hillbilly Hooch Haulers", who suddenly have a lot to play for.
Although the Bootleggers may not overtake the Woosiers in the points,
the fast fading Woo Crew is dropping quicker than a winter solstice sun
and may not qualify for the playoffs due to their record thereby opening
the door for the boys from Bristol. Meanwhile, the Wizards seem to be an
enigma wrapped in a conundrum (whatever the h$!! that is) and will
likely roll over and play dead again on Sunday when Jon starts flashing
some of his patented "Pike County White Lightning".
Wizard's Winner...the Bootleggers.
Fighting Slovaks vs. Woosiers
The once invincible “Swhooshers” have more closely resembled their
“Loosier” days the last few weeks after key injuries have laid them low
and have given them the distinct, and somewhat dubious, chance of
becoming the first team to not qualify for the title under the “Bullet
Rule” despite having the necessary points to do so. Victories right now,
no matter how ugly, are of paramount importance to the “Love Guns” right
now making a visit from the teaming masses of the “Immigrant Nation” a
welcome sight in the “Green Cards vs. Grapplers” showdown in West Blount
County Sunday afternoon. Adam and the Slovaks have been decimated by
injuries even more then the Woosiers making it a premium for both teams
to stock up on plenty of Roundman's bandages and pre-wrap prior to
kick-off. In the end, the Woosiers will get off the mat, literally, and
grab one of the two victories they need to advance to the play-offs.
Wizard’s Winner…the Woosiers.
Sloth Monsters vs. Gamblers
A couple of recent BDFL champions battle for bragging rights, if little
else, this weekend when Mike Dismukes and the “Green Giant Goblins (most
likely in the corner of a West End High School locker room doing
whatever the h$!! it is ya’ do in the corner of a West End High School
locker room)” head south to the bayou to play Texas Hold’em with Kenny
Breal and the “Whiskey Bay One-Armed Bandits”. The Gamblers have been
bettin’ the house most of the season and have little to show for it
while the Sloth Monsters have succeeded in little more than running the
Commissioner out of town with a stinging barrage of missives. These two
are equally matched and the Great Wizardo sees it coming down to a
battle of kickers, which favors the home team.
Wizard’s Winner…the Gamblers.
Dogs vs. Cheetahs
Mark Burr will drop by the Bank of Brookside to load up on cash (the $1
variety no doubt) for a wild night in Sin City where his “Mangy Mutts”
will continue their quest for the Yellow Hammer Division crown after a
recent surge has nudged them to the front where the view actually
changes. Greeting them at the “Red Light District Cat House” in
Riverchase will be the “Mattress Dancing Madames” who will look to teach
the visitors a few tricks of the trade while lightening their load of
money in the process. ELVO thinks the Dogs will go into the Cat House
and paint the muther pink, but the Wizard thinks otherwise.
Wizard’s Winner…the Cheetahs.
Mayors vs. Blades
Coming off a stunning come-from-behind victory last weekend, Alan
Arrington hopes to continue his winning ways when his “Marxist Mayors”
spread the gospel of revolution to younger brother Lyle and the “Clod
Hoppin’ Sod Busters” down on the turf farm this weekend. The Blades are
very much in the hunt for a division title and have posted a sporty
eight and three record along the way while Alan has brought up the rear
of the Gray Beard Division most of the season. Still, a “Sibling Civil
War” typically throws out the record books before the battle begins, but
expect the Mayors to leave town with a bad case of “grass-in-the-rectum”
disease another “L” on their resume.
Wizard’s Winner…the Blades |
