Warrior General Games

It's been a few seasons, okay...quite a few seasons, since these two teams played in a meaningful game. That said, it's a rivalry that dates back to Season 3 in Canada A #6 when Bort implemented the [I[spectacular half-season idea (note: sarcasm).

We didn't get to play in that first season as the Salty Dogs were eliminated in the playoffs second round by the Queen City Black Cats and the Husker Maniacs succumbed to the Dallas Crimeboys in the same round.

Season four accounted for two of the three matchups between these two teams, the first a 28-10 victory for Nebraska < http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=111962 > in Week 4. The second time they met again went the Husker Maniacs way, this time a 28-23 victory < http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=131485 > ending an 11-game winning streak for the Salty Dogs and sending them packing with a first-round playoff exit.

Season five was the last time these teams met in a game that mattered, and the Salty Dogs attained their lone victory in the series with a 26-13 win < http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=168020 > in Week 9. A scrimmage in Season 7 was the last time the teams faced one another at all, and the Husker Maniacs prevailed again < http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=351947 > in this one by a final of 34-23. Undaunted, the Salty Dogs took the Canada AA #3 League trophy in Season 7 and ascended to Canada Pro in Season 10. It took the Husker Maniacs a few seasons longer to get here...not for lack of effort or talent.

I'm looking forward to a great game tomorrow!

Cool

It's fun meeting up with opponents from several seasons back; good luck.

ah see I got an excuse for that one lone victory , it was I who was the OC and ran that great game plan out against you.... lol I was fired shortly after wards...... hehe

I always take games vs original A6 teams more to heart, so OC/Dc watch out & get to scouting........hehe

I took a trip back down memory lane and looked at the box score from our first game in Season 4. Here's a listing of current players on our rosters that also played in that game...

Nebraska Husker Maniacs: Balla's Touch Glove, Immovable "Brick" Wall, Broosky Man, Darno Sarkesian, Bill-Bob Cobb, Smashmouth Willie, Lights Out Smasher, milt jon, and B.J. "The Prodigy" Penn

St. John's Salty Dogs: R Elliot, Phillip Trautwein, Derek Okam Orakpo, Roy Woodson, Demeco Ryans Jr, Julius Ryan, Kyle Rohde

How 'bout you OC this one for 'ole times sake?

I watched that playoff game we won where you were on that long winning streak today, it felt just as good as it did on game day back then....lol

Who?

Good luck to both squads.... wish you guys could be in the East to renew our rivalries.

Btw.. weren't you guys both in the East at one point? I think NHM got moved to the West when they went to AA and the Salty Dogs were moved to the West when going to CPL.

ya we were both in the EAST to begin with...

We did get switched to West when we made the jump to CPL following Season 9. I know it happened before that for NHM, just not sure when.

we switched to the West between A & AA
