Welcome back football fans as the minor league NFL gets underway this evening, from a weird looking San Diego sky - at least it looks that way form the Seahawks box seats on the western side of Jack Murphy.
The big news in the Subsim League is that the Takky Glue...are not back. They have taken their Torpedo Bowl trophy, sold off the team and made like the Baltimore Colts and left town in the dead of night.
The gaping hole left by the defending Torpedo Bowl champions has seen new teams brought into the championship, and all four of the new comers have been placed in the same division, the obviously apparently weaker division of the two division league.
The first team in, the Dover Destroyers, are still without a state that can host a field big enough for the Subsim League, so they have two alternatives in place for the season. Their first option is to put a large plywood board over the Dover Delaware International Speedway and paint it green. Their second and preferred option, is to play on the deck on any visiting aircraft carrier.
The second team in are The Guns of Hoculi. The coach, Casey of another team in the past two years, has moved across to one of the expansion teams, and named their team in honor of a personal friend of my family. We'll take a closer look at the other two teams next week, as we try to work out why the games tonight is being billed as Monday Night Football.
No wonder the NFL is in turmoil and the Subsim League is the premier football league.
As the Chargers choke on 4th and 3, for the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW), this is Gut Wrench covering the preseason.
