Man, a lot of close calls last week. Should be another wild week this week, and I’m taking your suggestions for wild card rounds over on my facebook page.
1. Steak Em Up (Bards). Won twice by a grand total of 3 points last week, and would have lost at Bards if either 2nd or 3rd had looked up QOTW. The good news is that the two teams that almost beat them are newbies. Hope we’re going to see Bards return to 2008 levels of competitiveness. Last week: #1
2. Duane’s World (Black Sheep). Only powerhouse to not be seriously challenged this week. Cruised to 8 point win over Puppy Puppets. Last week: #2
3. The Jams (Locust Rendezvous). With Barristers and Magnusson retired from active play, the Jams need a new rival. Could Madame Butterface fill the role? They only lost to Jams by one this week. Last week: #4
4. Mysterious Mr. Mapother (O’Neals). After a crushing loss the week before, they regained their foothold at O’Neals, cruising to a 12 point win over Hooter and Chuff and knocking off Tempura House, a team that features Sarah Bart, who finished 2nd in Jeopardy College championship. A big win for the Mapother franchise. Last week: #5
5. Why Can’t Us? (Ugly American) Wanna know how you shoot from not ranked to 5th? Score 116 on a quiz Steak Em Up scored 88 on. Last week: NR
6. Sidecardigans. A 4th place finish drops them 3 spots in the rankings, though they’ve still won 4 of last 5. Last week: #3
7. 407 Primrose Yellow Jackets (Ugly American). Nothing like scoring 2nd highest total of any team all week….and finishing 2nd. Last week: #7
8. Happy B-Day to the Ground (North Star). Been a bit of a power vacuum at the North Star since Popesack disappeared. The Ground seems to be filling the hole. Last week: #9
9. Underground Bard (City Tap House). Heartbreaking, one-point loss to Steak. Will this finally be their week to get over the hump? Last week: #8
10. SnapJack (Sidecar): Who are they? Why are they here? Pull off a dramatic win at Sidecar on Monday night. Will they be back to defend the title or just a flash in the pan? Last week: NR
