Texan’s Week 6 Picks
Usual disclaimer: this is my opinion only. If you don’t like it, I still love you.
Welcome to 80s movie week. Not even the Coreys can help you this time.
Picks record this season: 72-8
Naga
Game of the Week
Victoria Teabaggers (5-0) v Palembang Drunken Monks (5-0)
What a great early showdown in Naga. VT is out to avenge last season’s 58-17 loss to the Monks and they’re are looking plenty strong this time around. They are going to have to be a real Road Warrior http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gdv5EtZQ6jg to get it done though. I haven’t seen Boomy bust out the mini helmets just yet though. Monks 35, VT 28
Other Games
Portland Dirty Penguins (5-0) v Bandar Lampung Pigskin Pirates (3-2)
These two teams have played many times back in the old days and BLPP won every matchup. Will this be the time PDP finally beats those crazy Pirates? Amo better call in the Ghostbusters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyRqR56aCKc to exorcise those old memories. PDP 42, BLPP 21
The Cult of Personalities (4-1) v Golden Hill Bones (3-2)
CoP may have been roughed up by PDP but they are still a top 4 team in Naga. GHB looked great early on but not so great since then. CoP is like their old Uncle Buck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvkhvUzYKEI and has really abused GHB over the years. Will that trend continue? CoP 45, GHB 17
Royal Blue Drunken Smurfs of Funkalicious Labatt (4-1) v Las Vegas Dirty Hookers (0-5)
LVDH continues their rough introduction to SEA while the Smurfs recovered from their defeat at the hands o WIW. The Smurf dots are a bit ahead of schedule in their competitiveness but their real goal is to get Back to the Future http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geYqE-f7ojY of WL competitiveness where they were before. Smurfs 52, LVDH 17
Tibetan Drunk Monks (3-2) v Benton Harbor Havoc (2-3)
TDM has been much better than I originally thought they would be, while BHH has struggled through their tough early schedule and are still in contention. Whichever team loses this one could be the Lost Boys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsv_NQFbQzo of the Naga playoff race. BHH 23, TDM 21
Woody Island Wolverines (3-2) v Singapore Slingers (0-5)
It’s time to WIW to pad their playoff resume with some more Ws while SS is stuck in that glut of Naga teams sitting at 0-5. They may consider having a Ferris Bueller’s Day Off http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAe5P_xYoKg moment in this one with all those CPU players. WIW 175, SS 0
Sainte Foy Cyclones (3-2) v Hong Kong Huslters (0-5)
SFC has lost two straight and dropped out of the top 8. That is the bad news. The good news is that they are next up on the HKH farewell tour. Time for their best impersonation of The Terminator http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4Jo8QoOTQ4 SFC 255, HKH 0
Wichita Black Magic (1-4) v Semarang Red Bulls (0-5)
WBM is about to pick up their second SEA win via some Dirty Dancing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97X0ZG1GnCw with Semarang. WBM 155, Semarang 3

lolgaruda
Game of the Week
Wu Dang Kung Fu Academy (4-1) v Phu Khao Bow Chicka Brown Cows (4-1)
Two very good lolgaruda teams matchup in this GoTW, but the loser will most likely miss out on the opportunity to be Top Gun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VN8ze3S0Uj8 in the conference, while the winning still has a shot. This should be a pretty good battle and possible chance for the Cows to avenge their 48-34 loss of last season. KFA 38, Cows 28
Other Games
SDSU Aztecs (5-0) v Bourbontown BlueCats (0-5)
The Aztecs are wondering what the big deal with Pro is at this point, but don’t worry, some challenges will come. Not this week though with a weak BBC team that may be Running Scared http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ekr_IH1OL38 by the end of the season. SDSU 85, BBC 14
Three Kingdom Warriors (5-0) v Destin Leviathans (2-3)
Destin started out the season pretty well but they are starting to feel the grind of SEA. They’ll get plenty more wins later in the season, but this isn’t likely one of them. No Revenge of the Nerds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw6zrInbtQE is likely here. TKW 52, Destin 14
Buffalo Rampage (3-2) v Boston Bears (3-2)
Will Buffalo lose another game this season after their nasty opening schedule? Maybe not, but Boston sure seems to have solved their early problem in dunking on the Jam last week. I expect some real Wargames http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAcEzhQ7oqA in this one. Buffalo 35, Boston 28
NBA Jam Extreme (2-3) v Island of Misfit Toys (1-4)
It seems NBA is a much more legit team than IMT, yet only 1 game separates them in the standings. Will the Jam get dunked on again this time or will they step up in this one like a bunch of Hoosiers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diwRrudKHDU NBA 75, IMT 13
Mandalay King Cobras (2-3) v Krakow Kryptonite (2-3)
Both of these teams definitely have playoff talent but they are both under performing to some extent. The winner will be the Highlander http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq4SqgxIKM0 in the standings while the loser has a big mountain to climb. MKC 27, KK 24
Tanzania Lumberjacks (2-3) v Halifax Harpoons (1-4)
Will one of these teams step up and fight for a playoff spot? It’s possible but unlikely. Even so this game should be pretty good. Which team brings their Lethal Weapon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUorM4nTX7k this time? TL 27, HH 20
Atlantic Great Whites (2-3) v Shanghai Tigers (1-4)
The story of this one is will the Tigers big offense be able to outscore a fairly well rounded AGW team? Don’t look for any Gremlins http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoK0BzYUTrU to haunt AGW. AGW 35, Shanhai 28
