Week 1: I leauge...

Word has come down from the League Office and the first games are released...

6:15pm Gold Brewzers vs. Warriors:
A very interesting match up that pits Dallas Lehr's Warriors against Andy Thomas' Brewzers. This should actually be a flippin good game to watch. We saw how Dallas was slave driving his players in practice on Saturday, that team should be ready to play, especially after the checking drills.

7:30pm Gold Patriots vs Komets:
A rematch of last years keg game had to be played at some point in time this season. Both squads have lost some players, while on the same side, gained some players. We looked into the record books and in a regular season matchup of the previous season's championship, the championship loser is victorious 86.4% of the time. We'll see what happens this Saturday. I mean after all, the last time the keg game was replayed the next season, the Patriots beat Mayhem 3-0.

7:45pm Green Blue Devils vs Snipers:
Ray Workman will look to bring the D league championship anointing to the I league Blue Devils and make the franchise into the empire it was destined to be. Snipers had a pretty solid team last season, but just were a couple players short of success. Did they add those players in the off season? Or where they like the Stars and had their biggest off season move come in the form of new jerseys? Snap!

8:45pm Gold Ice Holes vs Leftovers:
The Ice Holes will be good, as the Ice Dragons have pretty much committed to beating up on the I league again with suffocating defense. Leftovers pretty much imploded and coach Bobby Sirkis found himself with 7 players. "I Had such a S*#ty season last session, that I am suspending myself as both a player and coach for one game."

9pm Green Spiders vs Stickmen
Spiders could be a very good team as rumor has it the Black Widows and Spiders have combined. If this is the case, fear this team. The more important question, can Tom "Foolery" Yockey finally win a championship?. The Stickmen on the same side will have all their players returning, plus their goalie in David Blubaugh is returning, which always keeps the Stickmen as a threat.


Predictions...??
no idea....this league has more parody than todays NCAA Football and the NFL....combined.

COORDINATORS BEWARE:

Sirkis is offering financial incentives to players from other teams for them to play on the Leftovers.

Hmm Ginger had players at practice...??? Warriors were doing checking drills to contain Jennifer Leonard and Lori K. We all know Lori K. almost got a "Gordie Howe" before! BAHAHAHAAH

This weeks random anonymous poll:

Has Nate ever kissed a girl? A real girl, not a relative or on the cheek?

I'm betting no.

Let's hear from ya!

Question: Does BAC *really really really* hate the Komets?

Answer: *really really really*

Example:
Look in the write-ups for first games... aside from the Time/Team Matchup title, the text of each contains at least one mention of the team name.

'Spiders could be a very good team...' or 'Leftovers pretty much imploded..' or '... Patriots beat Mayhem...' or '... the I league Blue Devils...' or 'The Stickmen on the same side will have...'

This ONLY does not apply to the Komets vs. Patriots write-up, which fail to mention the team name at all! The write-up refers to 'squads', 'loser', or 'Patriots', but never 'Komets' (or more appropriately, 'those really awesome Komets').

Look for yourself! Compare that write-up to each of the others and you will see how little respect he gives a team who doesn't kiss his tiny little bottom. I guess Duval really kicked his backside on the ice a few games back to make him hate the Komets so much.

Jennifer Leonard is currently out with a broken leg smart***. And Lori K is somewhat of a thug on the boards but you can't even hope to contain her and her wicked one-timer.

Why should i make mention of a lesser team? I mean seriously. When you lose to me by a combined score of 11 - 3 over the course of three games...you really have no place to talk....

as far as duval goes, i hope his neck/head is ok.

I know my back hurts from lifting that keg...

Nate's kisses are for 'business' only. Don't be fooled! If he comes on to you, tell him you have a 'special services coupon' that you got from his Pimp, and he will give you a freebie.

"Jennifer Leonard is currently out with a broken leg smart***."

Easy there turbo sheesh! I did not know of her situation, wasn't trying to be a smart ass. I know both of them very well [many a drunken evenings with them at the Cross Bar] and was hyping up the match. Almost signed up for Jen's D-League team. But then sh!t happend and now I got 2 screws in my ankle.

-Dallas
GET WELL SOON JEN!
and Matt sucks for not telling me!

Aside from the Komets *only* taking 2nd place last session (a worthless placement, even though it was their first session in the Gold Division.. heck, even 3rd place would have been better than 2nd), what makes you hate them so much Nate? Spurned by a lover? Mini-Envy? Tell us... what is it REALLY?

Anonymous said...

Why are you all picking on Nate? He isn't playing I league anymore.

Anonymous said...

because he's writing for I-League and isn't representing the I-League very well.

Anonymous said...

Get your injury reports correct please, its not a broken leg. However do get well soon Jen.

Man, you all take this stuff too seriously. I think Nate just has fun with this, maybe you all should too.

i too am a nate backer. the little guy is really funny and he also knows that this isnt anything but a beer leauge in disguise! we all should appriciate the fact he takes the time to keep us updated on all the things funny or not that happens at the pep center

I am glad Nateous Minimalist is writing too, but damn boy...

"what makes you hate them so much Nate? ... what is it REALLY?"

ANSWER the question! :P

Blog Alternate Captain said...

I dont HATE anyone...geez people.

Some people I have rivalries with, I mean i've heard a couple people in the I league actually HATE me.

I really don't understand why that is. I used to play on the komets team back in the day, and then i left to play on other teams?

I have a good rivalry and just like egging them on, as much as they like giving me crap about lack of height, aggressivenesses against players who cant skate, or just overall kid stupidity.

Heck, im only like 23, and most of you all in this league are like 30 somethin, so my humor may not line up with what some of you think works here, but hey, I have fun with it.

It's true, i retired from I league, and im going to try coaching out, because I actually like seeing all of you on saturdays.

As for the blog, I may pass it off eventualy, but not for a while.

now go play hockey...

As to my earlier comment about Jens leg and calling Dallas a smart***. All meant to be sarcastic/humorous but it doesn't come out well in 2 sentences. My bad.

Would it be great to have Balls Volume Strength Tour bands kick-off the I-League Season as well as the D-League Season. You know the venue that includes Hellyeah, Otep, and Blood Simple. The Tour starts on Devil's Night (Oct 30) in Detroit. I-League and D-League should start with this performance. Maybe Hellyeah's Vinnie Paul Abbot can drop the first puck for each game. And Nate can go meet Opet and make love to her.

Ahh man, that was you Andy! Emailed Jen today got the update, her boyfriend sucks for not telling me especially since we play on the same team. Prepare for battle now Mr. Thomas!!!

Euless I-League begins in two more days, and the PointStreak site hasn't been updated with schedules or players (from what I can tell, having not really used it before).

For those D leaguers who have been using it for a while, I have a question: How soon are stats and game results updated to the site after a game? Days? Hours? Weeks?

Thanks,

Anonymous said...

you games should be posted - but since its the first week and there is no schedule out yet, the first couple of weeks may be kinda odd...

how do you resolve this?

pointstreak is usually updated after the game is played. although sometimes if it takes manual entry, it may take longer.

i said manual entry :)

Ah man, Nate going to make love to the Singer of OPET. Now that is funny!!

Mgnat said...

NO games tonight, anybody know why? Anybody get advance notice?

Anonymous said...

I didn't hear any reason, but got an email from my co-ordinator this morning. Sucks... the Heiniken Cup game was cancelled yesterday as well :( The only hockey I am got this week was the Stars whoopin' up on the Duckies. Not a total loss, but still sucks,

Anonymous said...

At least the Leftovers didn't lose.

Anonymous said...

Games were canceled because Ref's did not get there schedule set. However many teams ran practices and scrimmages.

Anonymous said...

It sounds like I league is stumbling out of the gates this session. Glad I'm sitting this one out. Anyone know how things are going out at NYTEX? Are they having similar scheduling issues (afterall that has always been the wrap against Knute)?

Mgnat said...

Thx for info., I'll tell the guys.

Anonymous said...

NYTEX was primarily an unorganized joke. No coaches as promised. Gnoot threw together a playoffs and all star game b/c people started calling him out on his promises. I'm done there.

Anonymous said...

Yeah, I heard that at NYTEX last week they had to cancel all of the I League games because they didn't schedule the refs.

Oh wait, nevermind, that was Euless.

RIP - Fort Worth Ice

It was smelly and filthy, but a good place for uncrowded public skating.

Damn you, Nytex!
