Texan’s Week 9 Picks
Usual disclaimer: this is my opinion only. If you don’t like it, I still love you.
You knew it had to happen. Welcome to Hip Hop week.
Picks record this season: 113-13
Naga
Game of the Week
Palembang Drunken Monks (8-0) v Cult of Personalities (6-2)
Ah, one of the better rivalries in the recent years of SEA. These teams have met several times with the Monks usually winning, but with CoP winning “the” game two seasons ago to go to the WL. The Monks once again look like title contenders, but will this be the game where they deliver The Message http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4o8TeqKhgY that it’s their year? Monks 35, CoP 28
Other Games
Portland Dirty Penguins (8-0) v Las Vegas Dirty Hookers (1-7)
Welcome to the most un-Las Vegas city in the U.S. LVDH. Well, except for the fact that PDX has the most strip clubs per capita in the country, including Vegas. Ya, It’s Like That http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoQb8vb4blA and stuff. PDP 145, LVDH 3
Victoria Teabaggers (7-1) v Sainte Foy Cyclones (5-3)
SFC has feasted on a weak schedule so far but wilted against the better teams. VT meanwhile has stood up and even in their loss their fierce D kicked in pretty well. If SFC wants to steal this one, they’re really going to have to Bust A Move http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy4FXhkm6Nw VT 35, SFC 9
Royal Blue Drunken Smurfs of Funkalicious Labatt (6-2) v Hong Kong Hustlers (0-8)
Ya, this used to be a pretty entertaining trash talking matchup, now just another stop on the HKH farewell tour. It’s like someone slipped them some Funky Cold Medina http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWSLXEyk7zI or something. Smurfs 255, HKH 0
Golden Hill Bones (5-3) v Bandar Lampung Pigskin Pirates (4-4)
Not only should this be a pretty good game, but it may have a lot to say about how the playoff pictures shapes out at the end of the season. We’ll see which team shows up to Rock the Bells http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DphkDgAMKqY and make their future a little brighter. GHB 27, BLPP 24
Woody Island Wolverines (5-3) v Wichita Black Magic (2-6)
While WIW is having another playoff bound season, WBM is having a tough into to SEA, but at least it looks like they’ll be here next season. Hopefully better. Since they aren’t going to make the playoffs, they’re free to treat this like Summertime http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6WpvBHdk1c vacation. WIW 122, WBM 3
Benton Harbor Havoc (4-4) v Singapore Slingers (0-8)
BHH got roughed up a bit by the Smurfs, but they ain’t going to happen against the Slingers by any means. I expect BHH to Bring The Noise http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR0WMdIqxus big time in this one. BHH 105, SS 6
Tibetan Drunk Monks (4-4) v Semarang Red Bulls (0-8)
The Red Bulls flutag continues this week against a surprisingly tough TDM team. This is a pretty good Scenario http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFZLq6R-ZtM for TDM, enough said. TDM 202, Semarang 0

lolgaruda
Game of the Week
SDSU Aztecs (6-2) v Mandalay King Cobras (4-4)
Not a whole lot of high level games this week in lolgaruda, but this should be reasonably good. The Aztecs are trying to stop a skid while MKC is trying to stay relevant in the playoff picture. Fuck The Police http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M8vei3L0L8 I want to see some violence here. MKC 38, Aztecs 35
Other Games
Wu Dang Kung Fu Academy (5-3) v Atlantic Great Whites (3-5)
KFA got embarrassed by TKW and now they would like to rectify that a bit. They have a lot of work to do to show that they are still among the C.R.E.A.M. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjZRAvsZf1g of SEA. KFA 52, AGW 13
Three Kingdom Warriors (8-0) v Tanzania Lumberjacks (3-5)
TKW is looking like they are headed to a 16-0 lolregularseason. Will they put it on cruise control from here on out (if they haven’t already)? That probably won’t help TL. Maybe TKW wants to be Just A Friend http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aofoBrFNdg TKW 52, TL 10
Buffalo Rampage (6-2) v Halifax Harpoons (3-5)
Buffalo is another team that looks like they may not lose again in the regular season. They seem much stronger than originally thought, but that always happens with them. Everyday is Dre Day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPaNaD2gr-E for Buffalo. Buffalo 48, HH 16
Phu Khao Bow Chicka Brown Cows (5-2) v Krakow Kryptonite (4-4)
One of the better games of the week imo. Can KK rebound from several disappointing performances to upset the Cows or will they Drop It Like It’s Hot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtUVQei3nX4 Tough call. Cows 33, KK 23
NBA Jam Extreme (5-3) v Bourbontown BlueCats (0-8)
NBA is picking up steam and looking much stronger than before. Maybe they got some of their AI issues worked out, or maybe something else. I’d tell BBC to call 911, but everyone knows 911 is A Joke http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ-ldcnhsLY NBA 156, BBC 0
Destin Leviathans (4-4) v Boston Bears (4-4)
Another one of those games where the loser could really kick themselves later on if they end up missing the playoffs. Destin surprised me last week and they have a lot of fight in them. If they win this one they’ll be going Hip Hop Hooray http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA2_-eQ26tY for a while. Boston 30, Destin 28
Shanghai Tigers (1-7) v Island of Misfit Toys (1-7)
This could be a game where the loser eventually gets relegated. Who wants it more? Start throwing that Hail Mary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgjA5NLFjKM Shanghai 56, IMT 30
