Round 4 Previews

Now that the league's "teaching period" is finally over, it's finally time to see which of our ten teams will perform best (or luckiest) this season. I am here to keep you up-to-date with the results around the leagues as well as provide largely unbased and hopefully unbiased previews, analyses, and commentary of the games. 


Game 1 - Huck Buddies vs The Dream Team Feat. Weise

The league managed to find another white American male to captain a side this semester, once again showing how we celebrate diversity. Josh Phipps has made tremendous improvements to his game and is now capable of throwing a dump pass without slicing off someone's head and who knows what kind of partnership he can develop with Joe? The Dream Team Feat. Weise look extremely formidable this semester especially with Riley "King" Smith in their lineup. The Dream Team likes to keep their opponents guessing by switching up their captains. Who is calling the plays? Ash? Bevo? King Smith? Or could it even be Weise? Guess we'll find out come game day.

Prediction: The Dream Team to win this one 13-7 unless Eric decides to give up his dream to become a ballerina and manages to keep his focus on the field.

Game 2 - Phantasm vs Green Street Elite

If I were playing on Phantasm I would be throwing hammers to Phil and Timmy all night long. God did not give you two six-and-a-half foot players for you to be making dump passes all night long. Although Green Street Elite are not without some aerial threats of their own. Tyson is a great presence for the team (if he is present, that is) and captain Scott can be extremely distracting if he puts his special pants on. D Finn will also be looking to dominate in the women's department.

Prediction: This match could go either way but my prediction is a 13-7 victory to Green Street Elite.


Game 3 - # YOLO vs Pancakes

To be honest I was slightly disappointed that #YOLO isn't called #Yellow. I mean did you guys seriously give up the opportunity to call yourselves that? #YOLO has experienced handlers, and Wes can be extremely tricky once he gets his motor going. Pancakes are so called because they are "The Greatest Short Stack", and if you're wondering where they got the phrase from all you have to do is look inside captain Jazzy's pants. Jokes. Pancakes certainly have enough manpower to mount a bid for the title.

Prediction: I think the experience of Bob and Mansauce will be too much for Pancakes. #YOLO to win 13-9.

Game 4 - Ducks Tie Together vs Pinky and the Brain

Can I just say how much I love Pinky and the Brain's jersey. If you guys are selling any please let me know I would like to put an order in. Aesthetics aside, this is another solid team. I heard Catherine is going to try and fight for MVP honours this season so expect her to be very dangerous on the field. And on Ducks Tie Together we have Finny and Lucas, who are rumoured to be developing a budding romance, If you need proof, just check out his Facebook profile picture. If it's Facebook official, you know it's serious. Also Matt Armstrong is a tank; I wanna see a wrestling match between him, Nils and Callum.

Prediction: I'm just gonna take a stab in the dark for this one and predict a 13-10 victory for Pinky and the Brain.

Game 5 - Firetrucking Red Team vs Robust Fawn

The Firetrucking Red Team should just make Ricky their captain and walk onto the fields every week with "Never Gonna Give You Up" as their entrance music. They have a lot of experience in Mattie Hamilton, Rob Dehollander, and Ricky, all of whom are capable of working the disc. And on the other side we have Robust Fawn who have decided to reuse their team name. Captain Kramer leads the way for the orange team (no like literally he is so fast he is the first to run down the field after every pull) and Christian will bring with him tons of experience (some say he is better than Finny, we'll see). Could this be Kramer's season? Also, can someone bring a measuring tape so we can compare the wingspans of Rob and Christian?

Prediction: Robust Fawn to win this one 13-11.

Those are the predictions for this week. Many frisbee gnomes have put their heads together to come up with the previews and predictions, let's see if they are right. See yall Wednesday night!
