Inter-squad Scrimmage
There was one thing that every player in the 47ers/Quail Hunters game had in common. They had all been drafted by the same person. Jerry "I'm feeling nostalgic... no, wait... masochistic, yeah, that's the word" Cook likes good competition. So much so, for 2 years in a row, when Amanda "Can I get my championship T-shirt for this year in black?" Cook couldn't bother to show up for draft day, Jerry stepped up and offered to draft for the Hunters, which returned the favor by then hammering the 47ers on their way to the CFFFL title. Fast forward to this weekend, and the 47ers were looking to keep history from repeating itself. Well, all I can say is, at least this year, the 47er's QB named Manning isn't scheduling a neck fusion surgery anytime soon. Unfortunately for the 47ers, while they can look at the Hunters and say "I built that" they can't say "I beat that!"
New Name, Same Results
When the PlowBoys decided to become the CowPokes, the idea was to change the culture of losing as the team headed into the 2012 CFFFL season. Unfortunately, some of the bad PlowBoys' habits from 2011 remained. Maintaining a roster that includes inactive players is one such habit Norman "the Cowboys won this week, so nothing you say can hurt me" Cook should identify and eliminate. If he will look at his bench, the identification part shouldn't be too hard. But week 1 is not about bench players, but about starters, and the CowPokes have some talented starters. The fact that they played like reserves meant that the CowPokes once again would put up the smallest point total in the league, another PlowBoys' habit, as they started 2011 with 3 straight weeks with that distinction. The Leftovers benefited from the CowPokes ineptitude, as a less than impressive output in the 80s for them meant that they were the only CFFFL team to record a week 1 victory without scoring at least 96 points. Cindy "I don't care if you're left handed, just be two-handed" Cook, who only scored less than 90 points a total of 3 times during the 2011 regular season, will not be happy with that point output, but will console herself with the W.
