Let Cheers Decide The Titles

SEMinnHockeyNut · Post by **SEMinnHockeyNut** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 11:24 pm

Since all of you guys are in fantasyland this week trying to create computer programs, Vegas odds, dice games, Voodoo, HAL from 2001, and your own egos to decide the tournaments, I am going the comedy route.

In the classic sit-com Cheers, Sam 'May Day' Malone goes crazy when upity, brainiac cocktail waitress Diane Chambers wins the football pool week after week when she has no idea what a TD is....her secret? Pick the animal/mascot that would win in a fight. Here we go:

Class A
Duluth Marshall vs. Mankato West - A Hilltopper (human I assume) vs. a color, Marshall breaks the crayon and moves on

Warroad vs. Litchfield - As much as I love Warroad and Warriors are tought, Dragons are even tougher. Litchfield in a close call.

STA vs. Little Falls - I assume the Flyers have machine guns on their planes and shoot down the Cadets.

Blake vs. St. Cloud Cathedral - Tough call again, but a Bear is not as tough as a firebreathing Dragon, so I assume that the Crusader is a Knights Templer and kills the Bear.

Semis:
The Hilltopper might be able to survive the lake effect snow, but the Dragon has the big tail and the fire - Dragons win.

The Flyer has guns, the Crusader has a horse. I go with the 20th Century on that one.

Final: Lets assume he is a WWI Flying Ace with all the skill necessary to slay the Dragons. Win one for Lucky Lindy they cry, and the Flyers do shooting down all the competition.

AA
Edina vs. CEC - The Lumberjack always carries deep woods off and any other spray to make his work easier. Lumberjacks easy in this one.

BSM vs. Woodbury - Again, the human beats the color. The Red Knights over the Royals.

Roseau vs. Blaine. A tough animal battle. I am going to assume that the Bengals agility and predatory nature win out. Cats over sheep on this one - pack 'em Rams - 1st loss of the year.

Hill Murray Pioneers vs. Cougars - The Pioneers get lost on the trail and the cats are hungry. Cougars eat the settlers and move on.

Semis
Lumberjacks vs. Red Knights. A tough call. The mighty axe vs. the mighty sword. Assuming the Lumberjack has a big blue ox, a giant axe and can get the Knight off the horse, I go with the rugged guy vs. the one practicing chivalry everytime. CEC moves on!

Bengals vs. Cougars - It is still cold outside. We live up north. The Cougars have the advantage because they can weather the elements. Cougars over wussy jungle cats in a tight one.

Final: Again, I assume my Lumberjack and his big blu ox will work as a team to bring down the wild beast. CEC Lumberjacks swing hard slaying the beast. The might man in the big boots and flannel shirt doing us all proud.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you put way too much thought into this.

One could only hope it shakes out like this! Sure would be interesting, plus there'd probably be plenty of people selling their tickets and the less educated, free schools would prevail once again

Well you had to be on crack to write this.. which would explain you picking the "dragons" to make it to the final..

Any post referencing Cheers is worth a read.

I knew a guy that used this same method to pick NFL football games. He didn't do very well either.

This was good for a morning laugh, thanks NUT

Thanks for those of you who appreciate this thread - meant for comedy only.

To guy who said I was on crack, I apologize that your weed clouded your brain and you missed the part about COMEDY. It was not to be taken seriously in any way, shape, or form. It you look at my tourney picks, I have the Warriors vs. the Cadets in the final. Hornets vs. Rams in AA.

Again, thanks to those that gave kudos, I am glad you got a good laugh.

I am off now to make a Screaming Viking and enjoy the next game!
