Game day predictions

We're almost there. Weather looks nice for Sunday's tournament. Here's what I believe will happen and why:

WINNERS
The Team of Extraordinary Gentlemen aka Flyntrok and Hans Blitz

FIRST LOSERS
Pri and GE

SECOND LOSERS
Joey Bideo aka Reverend and Buckets

OUTHOUSE STINKERS
General Aviation aka Borne and Trinitron


Starting from the bottom up - I had high hopes for Borne and Trinny, really I did, but their team name has bottom dweller written all over it. Initially I thought Joey Bideo would be the runners up but the talk around the water cooler is that Buckets is suffering from a post wiffle ball rib related injury. Pri and GE are near strangers and a lack of chemistry could topple their chances, although both have proven their skills in numerous events. The Team of Extraordinary Gentlemen are cut from an entirely different cloth. Flyntrok is on home turf but Hans' reflexes will win the day.

It must be the suit.

Thought I'd post something to do with trivia. Enjoy.

We'll have to discuss if this is how we want to play. I'm certain that any one of us can take this loser. Where the heck are they playing anyway?

The Trophy

Two customized 6" metal trophies are on the way to be presented to our winners.

The teams were randomly selected and the validity of the selection process is backed up by video. If anyone wants to see the vid, let me know. Below are our teams. The trash talking may commence immediately.
