TORPEDO BOWL MATCH UP SET
...but we needed all weekend.

Week Fifteen in the Subsim Fantasy Football League. We're just one game away from the end of the season, but to get to the end, you have to go through the second last game of the year. Are you going to the Torpedo Bowl, or are you relegated to the lower level game? Only two teams will climb the mountain to reach the Torpedo Bowl, and this week, we learned who climbed the mountain.

We'll tell you all about that just as soon as we delivery this more important message.

DONATE TO SUBSIM...AND NOMINATE SUBSIM FANTASY FOOTBALL FOR BEST OF SUBSIM.

Last week, the key match up which established the post season was the game between the Guns of Hochuli and the Australian Taipans. These two teams created the perfect set up for the first week of the post season when they met for the second time in two weeks. The Gunners have owned the Taipans this season, but those wins have been high scoring and settled by less than four yards in some games. This week, the high scoring Taipans after the narrow loss traveled back to the Gunners home town in Texas, and they came to play. They came to play with the third highest scoring game of the year, putting up over 200 points - again. Last week the Taipans chased the Gunners the entire weekend, but not this week. This week, the Taipans came to play and smack down their opposition with an unbelievable show of power. This one wasn't even close folks, with the Australian Taipans of Southern California running away with the game. Final score, the Taipans defeat the Guns of Hochuli 208 - 126.

Now, over in the other game, we have a thriller that swayed back and forth with lead changes. The Helmand Nighthawks Deployed to Saint Louis are the #1 seed in the league, and they were scheduled to play the Who Dat Nation Rises Again. These two teams representing the engine house of the league, the two toughest teams around, but this year, the Nation has struggled to create some locomotion. The Nation opened the game with an impressive start from Deandre Hopkins (WR). Having established the lead, the Nighthawks came back lead by an aerial assault of Stefan Diggs (WR). When Russell Cooper (QB) didn't score a lot of points, you suspected that The Nation might upset the #1 seed and steal and win - sending the Torpedo Bowl match up with the #3 and #4 teams. On Monday night, Nation's franchise player Ben Roethlisberger (QB) took to the field, and you would have expected Big Ben to throw for five touchdowns. With less than five minutes remaining in the weekend, Big Ben didn't have one touchdown, and the game slipped away from the Nation. The Nighthawks steal a win to defeat the Who Dat Nation Rises Again 143 - 134.

So where does that leave us for next week.

The Black Cats stay at home in South Carolina to host the Drunk Monkeys, In a battle of the worst of the league, these two teams get to fight out for the wooden spoon.

The Guns of Hochuli after being beaten by the Taipans are relegated to the bronze medal game, where they will host the Who Dat Nation after the Big Ben implosion on Monday night.

And out big game of the weekend features our two international teams, the Helmand Nighthawks Deployed to Saint Louis hosting the Australian Taipans of Southern California. The Nighthawks played their way into the post season as the #1 seed but the Taipans are the highest scoring team in the league this year - and are coming up on the highest scoring team in league history. This could be the highest scoring game of the year.

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.

Hard to look past the winner of this weeks award. For the effort 9 receptions for 150 yards and 1 touchdowns, for a total of 36.0 points, the Week Fifteen MVT goes to Darren Waller (TE) of the Australian Taipans.
