Week 4 Preview

OK, back into the "preview" saddle. I just want to make a quick note that "This Week's Schedule" is now posted to the right. Just an FYI for you guys.

Everyone's in action this week, so on with the show...

Round 1
Ski Unit vs Godzilla
B-Town vs LBP
Huckstables vs Van Buren

You can expect B-Town and the Huckstables to take care of business quite easily in this round. I would be quite surprised if the scored 6 or more points combined. Obviously Ski Unit and Godzilla is the featured match up here. They have had a rival brewing for the last few years and it looks like they will finally get to renew it on the field.

Prediction:
Ski Unit 13, Godzilla 0
B-Town 13, LBP 3
Huckstables 13, Van Buren 2


Round 2
Genevites vs Untouchables
Van Buren vs LBP
Godzilla vs Huckstables

Two evenly matched games this round make for an interesting afternoon. VBB will look to avenge an earlier loss to LBP a couple weeks ago. LBP has the athletes to win, but VBB has slowly been getting better. This may be the Boys' last chance to get a win in the regular season. 'Zillas against the Hucksters should be a great game. Both these teams have a bunch of experienced players...my only question: Who has the height to match up with Kevin Kelly?

Prediction:
Untouchables 13, Genevites 0
LBP 13, VBB 10
Godzilla 13, Huckstables 11

Round 3
Ski Unit vs Untouchables
Genevites vs B-Town

As expected, B-Town will take care of business ad should gain some valuable experience since they will be playing without captain Charlie O'Brien. The other game in this round is a rematch of last season's AUFL semifinal game in which Ski Unit upset the favored Untouchables. You can expect the Untouchables to be looking for a little revenge, but word on the street is that 50 Cent will be making appearance to drop some hucks (and by "hucks" I clearly mean bullets) on the guys from DG.

Prediction:
Ski Unit 13, Untouchables 0
B-Town 15, Genevites 2

Week 3 Recap

Round 1
Ski Unit 13 vs Genevites 0 (forfeit)
Huckstables 13 vs LBP 5

Huckstables taken care of business against LBP. I want to use this opportunity though to give some props to Lead Based Paint. So far, these guys (and a few gals) are much MUCH better than I thought they would be. With some practice and experience, they could be solid by the end of the season. Ski Unit gets the round off because the Genevites are a no-show...You guys are officially on the shit list for ditching. Amateurs.

Round 2
Untouchables 13 vs Van Buren 1
Genevites 0 vs Huckstables 13 (forfeit)

No surprises thus no comments.

Round 3
SU 13 vs Van Buren 1
Untouchables 13 vs LBP 2(?)

VBB played an uphill game against a strong wind and an experienced SU defense. Despite their scores, VBB is getting better and the players seem to understand the game a little more. From what I saw, LBP actually looked decent against the Untouchables considering they only scored two points.

Predictions record...Week 3 (Forgot to do them)...Overall (9-5)

OK, I'm really lazy right now and I have decided to instead of typing out the whole schedule, I'm just going to post the bye weeks and which teams have those byes.

If you want a full schedule with all the match-ups, then ask your captains (they should have a Word file for you) or e-mail me at kbetts2@gmail.com

Scheduled byes (Week 3 and beyond)

Week 3: Godzilla/B-Town
Week 4: NONE
Week 5: LEAGUE BYE FOR AMERICA'S BIRTHDAY
Week 6: Untouchables/Huckstables
Week 7: NONE
Week 8: Van Buren/LBP
Week 9: NONE
Week 10: AUFL Tournament

Week 2 Recap

Round 1
Btown 13, SU-7
Huckstables 13, Untouchables 10

A mixed team of experienced and unexperienced players results in a rough first game for Ski Unit. Although they showed potential in the second half, Ski Unit has a lot of work to do. Nice upset for the Huckstables...to bad it came after the week I predicted them to win...asshats.

Round 2
Godzillla 13, Genevites 1
LBP 13, VB-0
Untouchables13, Btown 9

No surprises here. Yup.

Round 3
Huckstables 13, SU 3
LBP 13, Genevites 5
Godzilla 13, VB 1

About half of Ski Unit's team from Round 1 wasn't able to make it out for Round 3...hence about half the points were scored. LBP is showing some spunk, but beating up on less skilled teams is nothing to be proud of...yet.

Prediction Record...Week 2 (5-3)...Overall (9-5)

WEEK 1 MAKEUP: Untouchables 15, Godzilla 14

Week 1 Recap

Here are the scores as reported to me for Week 1...

Round 1
Godzilla 13, B-Town 9
LBP 13, Van Buren 8

Well I got the Godzilla/B-Town game right but Lead-Based Paint went out and proved me wrong. I honestly expect this to be LBP's most dominant performance of the season. VBB, what's up guys?

Round 2
Untouchables 13, Huckstables 10
B-Town 13, LBP 0

My first upset pick of the season was a wrong one. I didn't get to watch this game (or any of the games for that matter) but I did show up later and see that the Untouchables didn't have who I have deemed the best player in the league while Huckstables had most of the guys who I thought would be there...maybe too much partying the night before? Oh, LBP. You had such a good first game and then the big goose egg. Sorry my friends, but I have a feeling this won't be the only one.

Round 3
Godzilla 13, Untouchables 13 (did not finish)
Huckstables 13, Van Burn 0

I showed up for about 5 minutes of this round and the weather was shitty, rainy and windy. I'm assuming this is the reason the game was not finished. No word yet as to how this will be settled. Huckstables taking care of business BTO style.

Prediction record:4-2

Like I said, the weather was pretty crappy with 40 mph winds (or so I heard on the radio). I suspect the weather won't be this bad at any other point this season, but who knows. Looking forward to next week when everyone will be in action.

Week 1 Preview

Before we get started here I just would like to mention that Hickleberry Fun (who I praised for their sweet name) has officially dropped out of the league. Thanks for making me look like a idiot d-bags...just kidding...kinda.

Anyway, let's get started with the Week 1 Preview. This is something I plan on doing every week and hopefully it will provide the perfect amount of banter for you guys to discuss while also hating me at the same time. Here we go...

Round 1
Godzilla vs B-Town
Van Buren vs LBP

We have match-up of two of the AUFL's giants and two of the newcomers. Godzilla and B-Town will likely be a sloppy first game for both teams but there could be some sick plays made in this game. If you're not playing this round then you should get a seat to watch Kevin Kelly go up against Charlie O'Brien. Both these guys are great in the air and both are know for their highlight-reel skies and D's. In terms of the overall game, I'm going to give the edge to Godzilla because they have more college-experienced players and their flow/throws should be more crisp. The other game features 2007 doormat Van Buren Boys against potential 2008 doormat Lead-Based Paint. Honestly, I don't know much about LBP but I do know they have some athletes. Again, I'm going with experience here (although I think LBP should be able to run Van Buren all over the field) and I'm picking VBB to grap the win.

Prediction
Godzilla 13, B-Town 10
Van Buren 13, LBP 8

Round 2
Untouchables vs. Huckstables
LBP vs. B-Town

In the battle of the "ables", two more AUFL giants will face off in a highly contested game. Like I said in my teams preview, the Untouchables are a league dynasty and probably have the best player (Phelan) in the league playing for them. However, I have received word from an inside source that Phelan probably will not be present. Because of this, I'm picking the upset and taking the Huckstables to win a VERY close game. In the next game, LBP will get its introduction to some serious ultimate and they will almost indefinitely have their hands full. This game shouldn't much of a challenge for B-Town.

Prediction
Huckstables 13, Untouchables 11
B-Town 13, LBP 5

Round 3
Godzilla vs. Untouchables
Van Buren vs. Huckstables

It's only Week 1 but we already have a potential AUFL Championship preview with 'Zilla against Untouchables (although it would be a more accurate preview if Ski Unit was involved instead). I predicted the Untouchables to suffer the upset in Round 2, but something tells me they are going to pull it together against the Warriors. Another close game going for the dudes in gray. Across the field, Huckstables should have a fairly lax game against Van Buren. VBB can expect some zone and a lot of hucks coming their way. Enjoy.

Prediction
Untouchables 14, Godzilla 12
Huckstables 13, Van Buren 6

Well there you have it. I won't be present for Week 1 and neither will co-commish Andrew, so that means Matt is in charge to answer all your questions. Everyone make sure to turn in your money and help Matt out with cleaning up. Good Luck.

Word.
