After a disastrous regular season, the Sky Fighters pulled it together for the playoffs, where they upset Mexican Standoff in the play-in game, and then put a scare in the Unicorns before falling by a goal. Under new leadership, the Sky Fighters expect better attendance, and better results. Co-Captain Amy Lott, who does not like to be disturbed before noon, predicts, “[The Sky Fighters] will have a better year than the fat 8th grade girl that came back thinner, with big boobs, a cute haircut and new Puma’s on the first day of 9th grade.”
Rapper They Closely Resemble: Ja Rule. Believe it or not, they were once viewed as a serious gangster presence wherever they traveled. However, as they claw there way back to the main stage, they now have a long way to go before others consider them much more than an itch.
Fast Fact: Dan Hopper drinks a gallon of orange juice every day, but prefers no pulp.
