The Grenadiers march into the BDCS
WESTERN
HILLS - If you guarantee something as "ironclad"
you are emphasizing that the plan has been carefully put together and it
is absolutely certain to work and be successful. Think Joe Namath in
Super Bowl III. An ironclad guarantee can’t be broken, or taken back. An
ironclad contract is unbreakable. An ironclad promise can be believed
wholeheartedly. If you were arrested on ironclad charges, you’re going
to be found guilty. Originally, the word had a very literal meaning coming from
the ironcladed wooden warships of the 19th century that were wrapped with
iron for protection from their enemies, including pirates. These iron
plated battleships were invincible in battle and were guaranteed to win
in skirmishes against the traditional wooden warships of the time. Since
then, this word has become more metaphorical, but it still applies to
things you can trust and count on in this world. The BDFL is ironclad.
What you can trust moving forward this season is that the BDFL will give
eight (8) deserving teams a chance to win the 2019 BDFL Championship
Title and that the annual three-week Big Daddy Championship Series (BDCS)
will be run with class and integrity, as usual. In Week 14, the Mineral
Springs Grenadiers marched through Glen Oaks Park to waylay the Wildcats
(49-17) and punch their ticket to the 2019 BDCS and joined the rest of
the Elite Eight field in the BDFL's most prestigious post-season
competition. The next three weeks will determine the ironclad Champions
of the BDFL for the 2019 season.
