Smokin' Hot
Drew Brees has Da Blitz pointed in the right direction towards their first BDFL championship title

Blitz stays hot on The Third Sunday in October

LAKEVIEW - This great rivalry known in the BDFL as "The Third Sunday in October" has always been played in the greater Birmingham/Tuscaloosa metro area as one of the league's annual neutral site games like the Battle of Brookside and some other classic BDFL match-ups. This rivalry features one predominately crimson-colored team (Blitz) against one predominately orange-colored team (Cheetahs) and the winners and their fans revel in vict'ry by smoking cigars after the game. The celebratory tradition has been handed down over the years and still continues today. The game's traditional cheer, "Smoke 'em if you got 'em" was taken from the United States military back during World War II which meant to take a break. Officers would say "Smoke 'em if you got 'em", allowing the soldiers to take a break and smoke. "If you got' em" referred to the vagaries of war since smokes were nearly impossible to get in Europe during this time because of the deprivations of the war. The phase was revitalized and became part of modern pop culture when it was used in the 1987 Mel Brooks movie Spaceballs by Lord Dark Helmet. In this year's version of The Third Sunday in October, da Druid City Blitz showed no mercy as they scalded the "not so hot" Southside Cheetahs 51-17 in Week 7 of the BDFL.
