WHO DAT UPENDS GUNNERS
Torpedo Bowl Wide Open

Week 15 in the Subsim Fantasy Football League and the post season has produced it's first casualty. Who Dat thought that the #4 seed would so convincingly shoot the Regular Seed dominate team straight out of the Torpedo Bowl with one parting shot.

Let's get to that game, after we do the most important thing today.


IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO NOMINATE SUBSIM FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE FOR BEST OF SUBSIM.

Game two of the weekend and overseas in England, the Helmand Nighthawks were hosting the Australian Taipans in their own International Bowl - winner takes all to the Torpedo Bowl. Nighthawks came in as the #2 after securing the Surface Skimmers Division with two weeks to spare. Australian Taipans backdoor their way in on a count back after having the hardest strength of schedule for the season. Both the Nighthawks and the Taipans started players Thursday night with not a lot of success. Come Sunday though, the Nighthawks composite Running Back pair of Ezekiel Elliott and David Johnson put up over 50 points in quick time. These two RB's have carried the Nighthawks from strength to strength in the last six weeks which includes a couple of weeks where they scored over 200 points. Sadly, the Taipans were once again on the receiving end of a massive scoreline that they just could not pursue. A lack of touchdown conversion by all three of the Taipans wide receivers doomed the Australians to relegation to the Consolation Championship when they just couldn't put points on the board. Taipans get handed another lesson in above average scoring. Helmand Nighthawks book their tickets to the USA for the Torpedo Bowl with an easy 142 - 110 , but then, something awry.

#1 seed the Guns of Hochuli. At 11-3 their only losses came to the Helmand Nighthawks and two weeks ago to the Who Dat Nation as the Nation secured their playoffs with the win over the Gunners. The Gunners have been unbeatable at home, until this week when the Nation rode into town. What ever was in the Nations Wheaties was powerful stuff as the Nation racked up a very impressive score across all facets of the the game. The Gunners, slightly shocked by the onslaught of points, faded from Championship Contention as Marcus Mariota scored less than 6 points. It was always going to be "by how much" from that point, as the Nation continued to play through Sunday night and into Monday night, sending a message that as a former Torpedo Bowl Champion, their #4 seeding meant nothing, they were here to play. The Who Dat Nation causes the upset of the year by bundling the Guns of Hochuli out of the Championship game 182 - 115.

So, where does that leave our games for this week, the final week of the year.

In Carolina, the Black Cats have the first game of the weekend as they host the Drunk Monkeys for the 5th place trophy. This game is not a pushover, the Drunk Monkeys in the final two wees of the regular season decided the fate of the top four teams. The Cats will have to show up this week to put the Monkeys away, and the Monkeys, well, they just need to show up, as we've documented all year.

For the Bronze medal, the Australian Taipans stay in the Northern Hemisphere and make the short trip back across the pond where they will be hosted by the Guns of Hochuli.

And the Torpedo Bowl - book your flights folks, we're going to England on seven days notice where the Helmand Nighthawks will host the Who Dat Nation. Two teams that have previously won the Torpedo Bowl, two teams that met during the regular season twice, both times won by the Nighthawks. Two teams that have fought hard, particularly in the last four weeks, to earn the right to compete for the Torpedo Bow.

And we'll have all the action including the Saturday and Christmas Day games.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

For the effort of 7 receptions for 186 yards with 2 touchdowns, for a total of 43.60 points, and lifting their team into the Torpedo Bowl, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Wide Receiver Brandin Cooks of the Who Dat Nation the Week Fifteen MVT.
