OOPS! I DID IT AGAIN!

WEEK 15 IN REVIEW
*******************

****************************
**** GAME OF THE WEEK ****
****************************
#4 Dude 67
#5 Boobies! 48

RWatters' broken ankle happened just in time for Dude to get SAlexander back in the lineup for EGeorge - and to reverse their 4-game losing streak. Boobies! countered with 2 TDs for Booba, but mere treys from Hearst, Holt and Pinky makes it 7 straight years without Cals in the Ags Bowl.

Other games:

#1 Brooding Unicorn Blithe Elephant 36
#8 Everyone Go Deep 43

BUBE picked the wrong week for Keyshawn and Boston to get shutout. Peyton and Dominic put together the Sunday Nitro magic to win this one for Gary. The difference... Alge 9, Keyshawn 0.

#2 Mahatma's Minions 53
#7 Short-Changed Bastards of Persia 14

Marshall wasn't supposed to do his former GM/mentor like that. Randy wasn't supposed to disappear on his current GM/mentor like that. Joebob moves on to the semis. Ali's reign as Ags Bowl champ is over.

#3 Having a Hard Time 32
#6 Uffdalators 24

Kevin was done in by the combined 0 from RWilliams and TiBrown. Brett and LaDainian came through for Richard.

#9 Cleveland Steamers 40
#16 Pimps de la Nast 42

Look at that little Chrebet go! Vesh's club was clearly upset over their failed appeal to get into the playoffs - losing to the last-place Pimps. Jamel jammed for 18 on the frozen tundra to setup Chrebet's Sunday Night heroics.

#10 Jersey Juggernauts 42
#15 Rabbis Rappin' on 'Roids 25

Warrick and Marvin bada bing!ed for John. Adam got solid efforts from Freddie and Olindo, but Garcia and Tiki really came up short.

#11 Invasive Species 22
#14 Blue Collar Workers 70

Whew! Brad really took Stan behind the woodshed in this one. Who would've thunk that starting 3 Steelers would get you 36 pts?!? And Plaxico gave Kevin 9 more (and KBrown scored 11 for JoePa's bench). Stan's Invasive Species looked like they didn't belong.

#12 Black Knights of the Charles 20
#13 Fighting Poopy Diapers 44

JHorn is making a move up the WR scoring chart. Brodz and Brad might be headed for the scrub bowl title. JoePa is still one win shy of ''Bear'' Seto for 15th on the all-time wins list.

**** GAME **** OF **** THE **** WEEK ****
#4-Dude (9-6) vs. #8-Everyone Go Deep (8-7)

ClarkAdvantageGary
KCollinsPManning
SAlexanderDRhodes
SMackJStewart
MBookerAFreeman
CConwayKMcCardell
ABechtACrumpler
SJanikowskiJNedney

In Week 4 Clark beat Gary 40-23, but that game took place with Gary missing Peyton. This time around Gary's passing game should garner a slight advantage against Clark's. However Clark should have a decided edge in the running game.

**** Ground Goebel over Air Eigen: Dude by 3 ****


**** THE **** OTHER **** SEMIFINAL ****
#2-Mahatma's Minions (12-3) vs. #3-Having a Hard Time (10-5)

JoebobAdvantageRichard
MBrunellBFavre
MFaulkPHolmes
RHuntleyLTomlinson
RSmithMWestbrook
IBruceCBradford
WWallsFWycheck
JElamMVanderjagt

In Week 14 Joebob destroyed Richard 65-38 to claim the #2 seed and homefield advantage for this rematch. Joebob survived his Bronco (RSmith and JElam) bye week much better than his Ram one. Richard is still scrambling to find some WR production. This game should hinge on MFaulk. If he goes off again, the Minions win. If the HaHT D can contain him, Richard has a chance.

**** Joebob's WRs should get it done: Minions by 6 ****


Other Tilts:

#1-Brooding Unicorn Blithe Elephant (13-2) vs. #5-Boobies! (8-7)
Will Wang win his first ever against Cals?

#6-Uffdalators (8-7) vs. #7-Short-Changed Bastards of Persia (7-8)
Kevin showed lots of promise early on. Ali showed promise late.

#13-Fighting Poopy Diapers (6-9) vs. #16-Pimps de la Nast (4-11)
Baby Brodz showing a little pride down the stretch. Shiv, too.

#10-Jersey Juggernauts (8-7) vs. #14-Blue Collar Workers (4-11)
John's unstable team hard to peg. Brad trying to set tone for next year.

#9-Cleveland Steamers (7-8) vs. #12-Black Knights of the Charles (6-9)
Expected more from Vesh and JoePa this season.

#11-Invasive Species (7-8) vs. #15-Rabbis Rappin' on 'Roids (3-12)
Stan is scrubbin' in up lately. Adam is sinking faster than ever.


Lineups due by 10am Pacific Sunday (except for those of you with players in Saturday's game)!!!
