Since a third of the season is past, I believe its a perfect time to do a review of the season so far.
Starting with the Great 8
Hayward Lumberjacks (6-1): Don't let that loss fool you, because that came by the unbotted Findlay Flight which had an unfeasible D.II lineup. The flannel-clad woodsmen demand to be taken seriously.
Philadelphia Phantasm (5-2): This team didn't even win the championship in D.IV, but a showing that there team is not just ghostly image that will fade away, It's a reality.
Bobcats4Life (5-2): This team is always a force to be reckoned with, but never seems to be in first place, both of their key losses were on the road, so things might be easier for them the second time around.
Running Red Wolves (4-3): They can beat lower teams no problem, but if they ever want to beat the higher teams, they need to add some pieces.
Michigan Blasters: (3-4): They seem to gravitate around 5th and 6th for the past few seasons, and this season seem no different.
Georgia Tech (3-4): They did beat their main competition in Michigan Blasters head-to-head, but didn't manage to pull out any upsets. Going into their first season in D III.4, they goal is to avoid regulation.
Royal Challengers (1-6): They are tanking the whole season because they know with Finlay Flight in their division they are guaranteed a spot in the relegation series, in which they will load their team back up. Perhaps getting 6th in the Big 8 is worth than getting 7th?
Findlay Flight (1-6): If this team beats you, you might as well quit now.
Great 8
Barbarian Marauders (6-1): Lost their first game in an unexpected start of the season, thanks to an unexpected sale of a player. Since then they have gone 6-0, and have no plans of stopping.
Hansen (6-1): Seems to really be stepping up this year, with only one loss. They will do much better than their 12-10 record last year, perhaps even 18-4? Which would keep in pattern with the increase of wins they had the year before.
1st season 6-14, 2nd season 12-10, 3rd 18-4?
Rogues (4-3): Always seem to just go with the flow, winning or losing doesn't matter to than. The only important thing to these vigilantes is to only have Americans.
Bunny Humpers (4-3): Sorry folks, they are out of the cup, which means that the Rabbit fondlers will no longer be giving out free wins. One can only wonder what their record would be if they didn't throw those games.
LBC Soldiers (3-4): A solid promotee with a monster Center. They will be vying for a playoff spot coming down the stretch. Mark my words.
BuckNuts (3-4): BuckNuts narrowly squeezed his way into the playoffs last year, but his team will have to fit into a tighter space this year. Can it be done?
San Diego Eagles (1-6): After narrowly avoiding relegation last season they have only managed to get one win, and it was against a team that threw the game. Can this team turn things around or will the continue to plummet?
Tachenko (1-6): It seems like kokka should spend less time recapping everybody's games and analyze his own. The 15 season league veteran of the league only has 1 win. He is still in the Cup, however, and perhaps that has been his recent focus.
