Texan’s SEA Preseason Preview
Keep in mind this is VERY early, so some recruiting is unfinished, people have yet to boost, etc.
I also realize some of you don’t have your proper OC/DC listed on your team page, so feel free to post the correct people. Also I encourage you guys post who you think will have big seasons on your own teams as well.
Naga
Top Contenders
1. Palembang Drunken Monks (1121.96)
Owner & Co-Owner: Boomy DTD and Texan DTD
OC & DC: Mstr October and Texan DTD
Last season: 19-1 SEA Pro, lost Conference Championship to Krungthep
Texan’s Players To Watch: HB Cassius Cassidy and FS Vladimir Impaler
Outlook: Probably even more loaded than last year’s team that went undefeated in the regular season. It’s not regular season wins the Monks seek this season however. Anything less than gold would be a big disappointment.
2. The Cult of Personalities (1151.16)
Owner & Co-Owner: vladykins and Loco Moco
OC & DC: BP and Texan DTD
Last season: 3-13 in the World League
Texan’s Players To Watch: HB Rusty Pickle and LB Dave “QB Killer” Jones
Outlook: CoP found out the hard way that it takes a lot to make that next step to the WL (see Krunghtep). Even so they are a tough team and would love to repeat their conf championship win against the Monks two seasons ago.
3. Victoria Teabaggers (1116)
Owner & Co-Owner: jtrav21 and Rayzerx
OC & DC: KevinSmith and bedgood42
Last season: 13-3 SEA Pro, lost second round to the Monks
Texan’s Players To Watch: HB Blazing Rayzer X and LB Domino Dynamo
Outlook: They’re back and they’re still really tough. They are probably a half step behind the top two teams but could still win it all if it comes together. Classy bunch.
Solid Playoff Teams
4. Woody Island Wolverines (1072.94)
Owner & Co-Owner: Tarheels3
OC & DC: joannes3000 and gbororats
Last season: 11-5, lost first round to Victoria Teabaggers
Texan’s Players To Watch: QB Lithium McGrath and LB Lesbian Seagull
Outlook: Led by a couple of legendary players (see above), this team is always a threat. They can turn it on at anytime and could threaten in the playoffs as well.
5. Portland Dirty Penguins (1035.11)
Owner & Co-Owner: amo368 and Boomy DTD
OC & DC: zakatakr and ZoSo1
Last season: 8-8 in SEA Pro, missed playoffs
Texan’s Players To Watch: TE Rabbit Ears and DE Adam Park v2
Outlook: PDP is the last original SEA Pro season 1 team. They had some #1 seed seasons, some bad seasons and everything inbetween. This season they’ve reloaded very nicely and are a sure playoff team. Their young dots will get scarier as the season progresses.
6. Golden Hill Bones (1060.9)
Owner & Co-Owner: ford3151c594 and isamurai
OC & DC: Striker360 and FersherHeheh
Last season: 6-10 in SEA Pro, missed playoffs
Texan’s Players To Watch: HB American WAR Machine and KR Brutus “Whiteshoes” Buckeye
Outlook: Another team that missed the playoffs last season that I think will take a step up this season. ford is a class act and I’d love to see him in the playoffs this time around.
7. Bandar Lampung Pigskin Pirates (1032.67)
Owner & Co-Owner: joe87 and revolversw
OC & DC: Sulfadias and g-bay-be
Last season: 13-3 in Regional Pro, lost first round
Texan’s Players To Watch: FB Rock Power II and LB Mike Mohamed
Outlook: After all this time, the legendary old school SEA power has returned. They’re a season away from threatening to win it all but they’ll still make some noise here and there this season.
8. Royal Blue Drunken Smurfs of Funkalicious Labatt (995.48)
Owner & Co-Owner: bighookworm and Snaza
OC & DC: Mstr October and zakatakrr
Last season: 5-11 in SEA Pro, missed playoffs
Texan’s Players To Watch: WR Will Gault Jr. and DT Future Considerations
Outlook: Ya, I know the APV is very low to be this high, but after they boost, watch out. This team will be downright scary by seasons’ end and I might even be underestimating them. Next season they battle for the Wok.
Could Make the Dance
9. Sainte Foy Cyclones (1027.11)
Owner & Co-Owner: jay71 and Adamsfore
OC & DC: fuzzypoopy and jdpbernal
Last season: 9-7 in SEA Pro, lost first round to Semarang
Texan’s Players To Watch: HB DeShawn Epps and LB Jamison Dryden
Outlook: I would not be at all surprised to see SFC back in the playoffs this season in what looks like a very deep Naga Conference. I know they’ll be out there battling every game and that brings nothing but good things.
10. Benton Harbor Havoc (1042.77)
Owner & Co-Owner: Delts76
OC & DC: Delts76 and MC Hammer
Last season: 9-7 SEA Pro, lost first round to the Monks
Texan’s Players To Watch: QB Stephen Garcia -USC and CB Jasper Swift
Outlook: Another team I wouldn’t be surprised to see back in the big dance. There is just going to be such competition for those last 2 or 3 spots it’ll be a crazy year.
11. Wichita Black Magic (1063.12)
Owner & Co-Owner: hdbildr and 1hottie
OC & DC: MarBro456 and bamastrac
Last season: 12-4 in Regional Pro, lost first round
Texan’s Players To Watch: HB Sweet Jane and LB K. Dansby
Outlook: It’s always hard to know how to rate new teams. While there have been exceptions, they generally don’t do well their first season, especially when they promote after losing first round in regional pro.
Better Luck Next Season
12. Las Vegas Dirty Hookers (1018.2)
Owner & Co-Owner: danglenuts2003
OC & DC: danglenuts2003 and bhs
Last season: 12-4 in Regional Pro, lost first round
Texan’s Players To Watch: HB Gaston Green and LB BHS DRILLER
Outlook: Much like WBM, it’s hard to know where to put the new guys. Having also lost their first round regional pro game, it probably doesn’t bode well for them either. You never know though, there is the occasional surprise new team.
13. Tibetan Drunk Monks (971.77)
Owner & Co-Owner: Aravel
OC & DC: datdude41 and Aravel
Last season: 3-13 SEA Pro, missed playoffs
Texan’s Players To Watch: QB Jimmy Johnsin and SS 4ced Fumble
Outlook: After a rough first year in SEA it doesn’t look a whole lot better this time around for the “other” Monks unless their boosting helps them out a whole lot.
14. Hong Kong Hustlers (1097.86)
Owner & Co-Owner: Epark88 and seahawks3726
OC & DC: archer255
Last season: 10-6 in SEA Pro, lost first round to Krungthep
Texan’s Players To Watch: HB Duce Staley and DE Deacon M.F. Jones
Outlook: This is a VERY provisional rating for HKH, depending on whether they just got started recruiting a bit late or if they’re not going to try this season. We all know they are a perennial playoff team when they decide to be, so verdict withheld a bit.
No Way No How
15. The Outlaw Hustlers (1138.27)
Owner & Co-Owner: Sprocket
OC & DC: Sirwin
Last season: 5-11 in SEA Pro, missed playoffs
Texan’s Players To Watch: RT Shempe Howard and FS Babs Bouncer
Outlook: Wow, those CPU guys have a nice APV
16. Semarang Red Bulls (0)
Owner & Co-Owner: Sockamidic and pimpin snoopy
OC & DC: Maddog86 and viburnette
Last season: 14-2 in SEA Pro, lost second round to Krungthep
Texan’s Players To Watch: none
Outlook: Made, it’s sad to see a legendary SEA team rebuilding, but hope to see you again someday. Salute from Texan.
lolgaruda
Top Contenders
1. Three Kingdom Warriors (1123.07)
Owner & Co-Owner: datongw and Animalmother
OC & DC: kwankwan and ufshowboat
Last season: 7-9 in the World League, missed playoffs
Texan’s Players To Watch: QB Steve Young and LB John Bostic
Outlook: Ok, seriously, when the TKW boys decide they really want to turn it on in the playoffs and win lolgaruda, that is what they do. Seeing as how I already saw uf make a post to that effect this preseason, I’m assuming that’s true.
2. Wu Dang Kung Fu Academy (1107.94)
Owner & Co-Owner: chappy2235 and shield.bearer
OC & DC: fast420 and go cincinnati
Last season: 14-2 in SEA Pro, lost second round to NYE
Texan’s Players To Watch: QB Lazer Arm and LB Chad West
Outlook: The Kung Fu bunch have their sites set on the lolgaruda title again and this time the team that gave them both of their losses last season is up in the WL. Their major obstacle this season is TKW and you know they don’t want to be #2. Fortunately for them it isn’t voting that decides the title, but games.
3. Buffalo Rampage (1096.36)
Owner & Co-Owner: BLeonard and Joe Buck
OC & DC: Kaotik and Yardrat
Last season: 14-2 SEA Pro, lost second round to the Cows
Texan’s Players To Watch: HB Darkhorse Jones and KR Blue Falcone
Outlook: Just about every season Buffalo is at or near the top of lolgaruda and this season will be no different. The only question is whether or not they can get over that playoff hump and make a return trip to the WL.
4. Phu Khao Bow Chicka Brown Cows (1082.47)
Owner & Co-Owner: We Rule and AirMcMVP
OC & DC: detroitdad and Luckybeyotch
Last season: 13-3 in SEA Pro, lost in conference finals to NYE
Texan’s Players To Watch: WR fondle MI udders and KR Udderly Ridiculous Skills
Outlook: Top players were an easy pick on this one as planning against them sucks from experience. The Cows made it far last season and would love to take that last step this time around.
Solid Playoff Teams
5. Boston Bears (1091.68)
Owner & Co-Owner: jp9183
OC & DC: jpjn94 and smittdog101
Last season: 11-5 in SEA Pro, lost first round to the Cows
Texan’s Players To Watch: HB Orange Kush and LB Lamar Woodley
Outlook: Boston had their first SEA playoff season last time around and they’ll be back for more this season, I’m pretty sure. Can they make noise in the playoffs?
6. Destin Leviathans (1063.87)
Owner & Co-Owner: Magneto and wvu law dawg
OC & DC: Rocdog21 and animusmax
Last season: 16-0 in regional pro, lost in conference finals
Texan’s Players To Watch: HB Charles White and NT Bustin’ Thru You
Outlook: The first new guys on the list but they are the type of team that has the levels to compete off the bat, though I do think they’re a step or two down from the elite teams in lolgaruda.
7. NBA Jam Extreme (1065.81)
Owner & Co-Owner: Drew Brees
OC & DC: Phil Jackson and Drew Brees
Last season: 13-3 in Regional Pro, lost second round
Texan’s Players To Watch: HB Oscar Robertson and LB Dan Majerle
Outlook: Ok, this team may be giving up a lot of levels but they are ridiculously well built. Next season they could be one of the strongest teams we’ve seen in lolgaruda in quite some time.
8. Krakow Kryptonite (1071.35)
Owner & Co-Owner: FuriousGeorge and Whatje
OC & DC: luniz024 and billthekill
Last season: 10-6 in SEA Pro, lost first round to NYE
Texan’s Players To Watch: HB Megan. Fox and KR Cory Banks
Outlook: Came within just a few points of upsetting eventual lolgaruda champion NYE in the first round and they should be very competitive again this season, perhaps finishing higher than what I have them picked at.
Could Make The Dance
9. Mandalay King Cobras (1037.45)
Owner & Co-Owner: Lionhawk
OC & DC: Lionhawk and QBall13
Last season: 11-5 in SEA Pro, lost first round to KFA
Texan’s Players To Watch: QB Roman Everett and LB Andre Lockhart
Outlook: I may be selling MKC short here after a very final last season and really I hope that I am because I like these guys.
10. San Diego Lightning (1010.36)
Owner & Co-Owner: Jaxx
OC & DC: BP and Bevo53
Last season: 14-2 in regional pro, won title (congrats!)
Texan’s Players To Watch: HB D. Sproles and DE R. Bingham
Outlook: Another team I could be selling way short after their gold medal season. Their APV will rise appreciably after the boost and I know firsthand BP can coach a championship pro offense.
11. Shanghai Tigers (1044.11)
Owner & Co-Owner: ahalve01 and Shart
OC & DC: The Jonas and Toenails
Last season: 14-2 regional pro, lost second round
Texan’s Players To Watch: WR J.J. Jefferson and NT Wulfgar and Aegis Fang
Outlook: Yes, yet another team that could finish much higher in a much deeper lolgaruda conference than last season. Should be an interesting watch for sure.
12. Tanzania Lumberjacks (1047.11)
Owner & Co-Owner: volmania
OC & DC: Maddog23 and Rudy4
Last season: 7-9 in SEA Pro, missed playoffs
Texan’s Players To Watch: QB Steve Grogan Jr. and KR Glyn Milburn
Outlook: Probably the last of the teams that has a legit shot at one of those last 2 or 3 playoff spots in lolgaruda. They weren’t that far off last season, did they improve?
Maybe Next Time
13. Atlantic Great Whites (1000.74)
Owner & Co-Owner: panachevitz
OC & DC: Baustin and Ronin49
Last season: 5-11 in SEA Pro, missed playoffs
Texan’s Players To Watch: QB Igor McFarlane and LB Ursa Major
Outlook: Not their best season last time and this time could be similar, or maybe a bit better, hard to tell at this point.
14. Bourbontown BlueCats (967.86)
Owner & Co-Owner: johnnykblue and CcRyder42
OC & DC: johnnykblue and CcRyder42
Last season: 11-5 in regional pro, lost first round
Texan’s Players To Watch: HB Doc Fu Manchu and LB Blaine Reaper, Jr.
Outlook: Doesn’t quite look like they have the horses, but should avoid relegation and be competitive.
15. Halifax Harpoons (1068.26)
Owner & Co-Owner: Smorris123
OC & DC: mikeandbrooke07
Last season: 9-7 in SEA Pro, missed playoffs
Texan’s Players To Watch: QB Mr. Rodgers and SS Zack Tay lor
Outlook: Much like HKH, this is more of a provisional rating. If they manage to fill out their roster, they could do much better than this.
16. Island of Misfit Toys (1068.35)
Owner & Co-Owner: toddterps62
OC & DC: MojoSoDope
Last season: 3-13 in SEA Pro, missed playoffs
Texan’s Players To Watch: TE Tomax Corsican and DE Stormtrooper of Death
Outlook: I would say this is also a provisional rating but they have a really long ways to go at this point. Probably another long season.
Keep in mind this is VERY early, so some recruiting is unfinished, people have yet to boost, etc.
