TOURING THE STADIUMS OF THE BBB10 WESTERN CONFERENCE part 2

The White Coliseum - Home of the Gilead Gunslingers. Capacity (10160)
This was an odd experience for me. The stadium itself was like something constructed from another time, or possibly another reality. I couldn't quite shake the feeling that I was sitting in the middle of a Stephen King novel. The fans and the team seemed to enter the game like it was more than just a football game, but rather an eternal struggle for a higher purpose.

Chiefs Stadium - Home of the Charlestown Chiefs. Capacity (10060)
The only stadium on my tour that served their own beer on draft, and man was it good. Something called Uncle Buck's Special Brew. Overall a very pleasant experience. A little cold, though.

Stadium of the Depraved - Home of the Biloxi Dirty Man-Whores. Capacity (10530)
I came away from this visit feeling like I had somehow been violated. It was just a dirty experience. The stadium, the team, and it's fans seemed to lack morals. I couldn't help but sense that the owners of this team had some sort of hidden agenda besides playing football games in this establishment.

Super Snail Stadium - Home of The Screaming Snails. Capacity (9510)
This stadium had a down home feel to it. Nothing overly excessive about the structure or its fans. In fact, everyone and everything were so laid back, it was like things were moving in slow motion. Almost a hypnotic affect.

The Cage - Home of the Badlands Abomination. Capacity (9480)
I spent much of my visit trying to find this place. It was located out in the middle of nowhere, and I felt extremely uneasy just being there. The stadium had a claustrophobic feel to it, and the fans would just glare at me like I didn't belong in their home. I left well before halftime because I was sitting next to some guy that looked like Leatherface from TCM. He kept looking at me like he was sizing me up for his next skin-suit or something. I don't ever want to go back there.

Next stops on the tour: Sante Fe, Seattle, San Diego, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and Oakland.

To be continued...

Here are my Power Rankings with some playoff seeding predictions.

1 Northwest Nighthawks 11-1-0 W10 By far the hottest team in the West. They should hold onto the #1 spot for the playoffs. Easier schedule left and a Head to Head win should lock them up

2 Badlands Abomination 11-1-0 W2 The biggest question is can they hold onto the #2 spot? They have the hardest schedule left out of any team they have 2 top 6 teams and there out of conference play is against the #1 team in the East. Their future is in their hands though.

3 New Orleans Nation 10-2-0 L1 They mirror the Badlands with their schedule except play the #4 team in the East. Tough remaining schedule they could fall some if they don't win.

4 Gilead Gunslingers 10-2-0 W1 They play the #2 and #3 teams and then have the Maners and a 2-10 out of conference team. If they can beat either the 2 or 3 team they should assure themselves at least 1 home game in the playoffs if not anything better.

5 Santa Fe Regulators 9-3-0 W2 They probably have the best shot at moving up out of any playoff team. They have played all the top tier teams and only have the Snails and a 8-3-1 team (non-conference) left to play. If anyone is going to make a big jump it will be them.

6 Biloxi Dirty Man-Whores 9-3-0 L1 3 losses against the top 5 teams and 2 left to play. Unless Biloxi can play up at the level of a top tier team they will be playing away throughout the playoffs. They play a mid level team for their non-conference.

7 The Screaming Snails 7-5-0 W3 Only have 1 game left against the top 6 teams and have lost every game they have played against them so far. They do have a very nasty looking 8-4 non-conference team to play at the end.

8 Bellevue Blitz 6-6-0 L1 Still have yet to play the Nighthawks and their closest competition the Spartans. They have an extremely easy non-conference game to play at the end you could almost pencil them in for the playoffs right now.

9 Seattle Spartans 5-7-0 W2 They have a huge game today with the Blitz and still need to play the Regulators but their non-conference game is against a 6-6 team that they can beat. They are on the outside looking in but if they win today?

10 Orange Maners 5-7-0 L2 With the Badlands and Gilead left to play they will probably be on the outside looking in when the playoffs come. It is time to pull out all the stops and try to get an upset because if it goes to the tie break with either the Blitz or the Spartans they will lose. Weak non-conference game.

11 Charlestown Chiefs 4-8-0 W1 A miracle must happen for them to make the playoffs, they have the Snails and the Spartans above them left to play but also have one of the tougher looking 3-9 teams in non-conference play.

12 Los Angeles Gauchos 3-9-0 L5 **eliminated from playoffs**
13 San Diego Savages 3-9-0 W1 **eliminated from playoffs**
14 Tulsa Scorpions 2-10-0 L3 **eliminated from playoffs**
15 Oakland BlackReign 1-11-0 L2 **eliminated from playoffs** Kinda mean that they pulled the #2 team, the Lions, out of the East
16 Oklahoma City Red Rangers 0-12-0 L12 **eliminated from playoffs**

We're here for ya Rembrandt. Besides, that was a tough game all the way around.



Tough game but you guys did a really good job.

Wow, the Blitz have one close loss against a evenly matched opponent and suddenly Thrashmaster writes us off for the rest of the season. I guess we are going to have to continue the "Us against the world" mentality.

You certainly have my respect, Blitz. I gave you crap earlier in the season, but it's evident that your team is for real.

That's the last time we hire you for halftime entertainment!

Lovin the tour Thrash

Excellent breakdowm Stunner...

This BBB #10 is a great group, with that said, one of us has to leave it!

Good luck to Tulsa...see ya after the sim.

Go Nighthawks!

Good luck to the Spartans. Looking for a good, competitive clash tonight.

Good evening again sports fans and welcome to the 3BSN Pregame Show. This is ESO2008 filling in for the over worked Seizure who is spending this week focusing on his club. This week has several exciting matchups as the last names on the playoff dance card start to become filled in. Let’s not waste any time and go right to the overviews.

Pittsburgh Deatons (6-6) at Charm City Headset Jockie (6-6) GOTW*
Football fans this game is a knockdown, drag out, street fight. This is a battle for survival. On one hand we have Pittsburgh surging forward with momentum from a two game winning streak, while Charm City corrected themselves last week at the expense of Denver. Both teams are playing .500 and no doubt whoever loses this game will probably not make the playoffs. Expect Charm City to continue their balanced attack led by Ownage for You who although winning last week was kept in relative check. The Deatons defense carries a distinct advantage on their side of the ball. The Deaton secondary outmatches the Jockie wide receiving corps while the Pittsburgh D-Line can be thunderous when led by Jason Groseclose. While the offenses appear to be in the same league (no pun intended) the Deaton defense is too much and carries the day.
Pittsburg 27 Charm City 13

Tampa Tiger Sharks (3-9) at Big 12 Champions (8-4)
This is what we call a trap game. If Big 12 comes in playing creampuff they could get bit by the Sharks. The Sharks see Big 12’s two game dirty streak and that could be like blood in the water as the Champions try to reestablish the confidence and swagger they held at the beginning of the season. Still football experts will tell you that it all starts in the trenches and Big 12 heavily outmatches their opponents at the line of scrimmage. I think they are a good enough team to pull it together and really hook the sharks who are trying to play spoiler. Look for the Moore brothers (Duke, Burl, and Zander) to punish the opponents and force them to play Big 12 football.
Champions 31 Tampa 9

Bay Area Wolf Pack (1-11) at Whitchurch Mouseketeers (3-9)
I’m sorry football fans but this game is the man with the dough vs. the boy who can throw. While much has been made of Mr. Disney, his stable of players and his deep pockets, everyone is tuning in to see what league phenom, Ace Rocket is going to do this week. Without playoff implications and without a strong supporting cast, this game might be a snoozer. Mr. Disney lacks depth but has the stable to be effective on first teams, Bay Area on the other hand has not shown much beyond the tandem of Rocket and Willis 85. The Mouseketeers will be too much for the struggling Pack.
Whitchurch 20 Bay Area 13

Virginia Wolverines (9-3) at Indianapolis Warlords (7-5)
This game holds a great deal of interest. The Wolverines in my opinion are one of the more overlooked teams in the division and often that can result in underestimation. Indianapolis will be on the playoff bubble if they fail to win at home. The Warlords are a prolific passing team and they can hurt you with the long ball. Virginia has a tough defense of their own, ranked #3 against the pass, led by linebacker Richard Bolitho. That won’t keep the Warlords from doing what they do, as quarterback Cade Beckum tries to lead his team to victory. I feel that the Warlord receivers are too overmatched and that halfback Chad Riley is under developed. The Wolverines roll on and the Warlords scramble to salvage their playoff hopes.
Virginia 24 Indianapolis 13

Northeast Storm (2-10) at NewDawn Thrashing Badgers(8-3-1)
The numbers say that the Storm need something special today from WR Natan Taylor in order to surprise the Badgers. However, I feel this is simply a tune-up for NewDawn as they look to stay in the hunt for home field advantage in the playoffs. Badger WR Salvatore Slasher should be able to have his way with the undersized Storm secondary. Ultimately though, it will be Ron Quickswitch who carries the day against the CPU D-Line of Corbet and Harrington. The Storm continue to build this year and NewDawn keeps to their winning ways.
NewDawn 33 Storm 6

Denver Stallions (7-5) at Florida LightningBolts (10-2)
The Bolts look to be one of the best overall balanced teams on both sides of the ball and their D-Line looks absolutely monstrous. They are #2 against the pass and #1 against the rush bringing the old Martha & the Vandellas song to mind, “Nowhere to Run to Baby”. Look for Chuck Norris2 and his posse of pain to bring the transitional Stallions all they can handle. However, if the Bolts bring the whole kitchen sink they better get to E-roc Dizzle or else Chocolate Undies can make you pay. Still I think Florida holds on to prove themselves as one of the best teams in the division while Denver extends their losing ways. This will set up a train wreck for the last playoff spot.
Bolts 24 Stallions 13

Greensboro Tsunami (2-10) at Ludlow Lions (10-1-1)
This is another trap game if details are missed and arrogance perseveres over preparation. Ludlow comes off a big win against Birmingham while Greensboro is one of those teams that has hit rock bottom and started digging. Look for the powerful Lion O-Line led by pancake leader JT Swalinski to enforce their will on the under leveled Tsunami D. This will set the table for Ludlow’s style of play with Runnen Aroundthe Edge. Soon the Tsunami will be forced to the air where the ball hawks will be waiting with Tsunami WR, Sticky Hand. The Tsunami linebacking corps looks very impressive but lacks depth while Pierre Thomas has shown flashes of brilliance. If Ludlow doesn’t go soft, this is still their game.
Ludlow 24 Greensboro 10

Birmingham Bombers (11-1) at Lake Erie Menace (2-10)
Birmingham was stung last week and perhaps it served as a wakeup call as the division leaders have walked through this league thus far. Now Ludlow has awakened a sleeping giant and this week it will pour its wrath all over the Menace. Look for controlled ball movements by Birmingham utilizing their backfield led by Barry Jukes who managed a very impressive 4.4 yards per carry against a stingy defense last week. The Menace have elite runners of their own with the backfield tandem of Chrisman and Blanstin. Coming off a rare win, they could set the table early with a quick score. Unfortunately, they are going to be at the wrong place at the wrong time for a very pissed off Birmingham Bomber team who is looking to prove last week was a fluke.
Bombers 31 Menace 10

That’s all the time we have football fans. We’ll see you on the field.

Great write-up, eso.

And thanks.

Good game maners, u almost had us, we underestimated you guys and it almost cost us the game.

Good Fight Maners. Not to take anything away from you guys but did anyone else just have a god awful game today? Like completely out of line with how you normally play?
