Fall 2013 Lighthouse League Preseason Rankings
It's time for another season. People's livers have recovered to around 60% and their bosses have actually started to consider a promotion - time to halt the progress of both. Without further adieu, the Lighthouse League Fall 2013 Preseason Rankings for all your reading enjoyment.
Preseason rankings:
#1 Prepare Uranus - It's the "Tinderellas" second season in the league and they already feel the need to change their name in hopes that this season will be different than the last. After a disappointing end to the spring season, the Urani (?) are looking to prove that they are the team to beat. With a solid core group returning (and an extremely easy schedule - you can thank CHopper), we are expecting these gym "crossfit" rats to coast through the regular season. We still have questions of this team's mental toughness (alcohol tolerance) in the playoffs, however, we see the PU as the team to beat.
Smoosh Smoosh Panthers - What can we say about the Panthers that already hasn't been said through their continued failures to close out the big games. The perennial second place all stars are still searching for the elusive championship win. The SSP made a few key off-season signings in hopes that they've discovered the missing pieces to the puzzle. We feel as though this team will be a force to be reckoned with in the regular season, but don't worry, if you meet them in the championship game, you've got it in the bag.
Swamp Donkeys- There are a lot of questions about what's going to happen to the Swamp Donkeys this season. Their leader, Kristin, is reportedly in an RV park somewhere between Arkansas and Idaho, experimenting with next level bath salts, appropriately called shower salts. An unknown source has reported that this may or may not have caused the dismantling of Roll Another Bunt.
Expect the Donkeys to be contenders.... the WILDCARD....
We Only Come From Behind- . You can remove the name from the team, but you can't remove the team from the name. You can't fool us Brews on First. You're still that smoking hot girl that lives in the trailer park (Becky-Lynn, Tammi-Lynn, Heather-Lynn). With that being said, don't feel as though we missed the run that this team put on at the end of last season. We can't argue the fact that this team has experience winning big games at key moments. We aren't sleeping on them, but time will tell. Prove us wrong, Brandi-Lynn, you dirty girl.
Wait for It- One of the two relative unknowns in the Lighthouse League this season; the verdict is still out on Wait for It. Rumors have it that this team previously played in the Casco Bay Sports kickball league (known for getting LIT up by WAKA players by football scores). This news hurts the early season predictions, landing WFI at the #5 spot.
Kick Dog - Last to sign up, brand new team and a name we quite frankly don't even understand (and we've seen some terrible team names). We have very low expectations for Kick Dog. We'll be impressed if this team has a full roster for each game and avoids the forfeit. We've got big money riding on this team showing up on the field wearing jeans and sweatshirts, and have a strong suspicion this could be a repeat VIA Agency, or should we say A Kick, James, Pitch (which is an awful team name as well). Every league needs a lovable loser... just embrace it, but then again, feel free to thank us for the added motivation we just provided you.
Looking forward to the next 7 or 8 weeks of hangovers on Friday, although it will probably stretch to 12 weeks due to rain makeups considering SCorliss is Commish this Fall. As always, send in your weekly write-ups to mainegmot@gmail.com.
Lets get weird.
