<\/a><\/p>\nMighty Squirrels FTW!<\/strong> Week 1:<\/strong> Sky Fighters defeat Mega Touch, 7-2 Ironically, the closest Abby came to being eliminated was in week 4, when she picked her own team.\u00a0 That week, the Demons rallied\u00a0from a two-goal deficit with 10 minutes remaining in regulation,\u00a0allowing Abby to remain in the pool.\u00a0 Also of note is the fact that\u00a0she won the pool without ever picking What The Puck or the Corlears Hookers, which\u00a0are normally two of the safest bets.\u00a0 As the winner of this competition, Abby is entitled to write a post for btsh.org on any topic she chooses.\u00a0 It is tentatively scheduled to be posted on Wednesday, June 24.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stupid Bets<\/strong> Stupid Props<\/strong><\/p>\n In an effort to back up his incoherent ramblings<\/a>, Mega Touch captain Eric Devlin delivered on his promise to bring it down like Thunder God Thor (loosely paraphrased).\u00a0 Although it did not help his team notch the victory, Devlin did produce a large hammer to motivate his team during their prime-time Hockey Night In Tompkins matchup.<\/p>\n Know Your Neighbor<\/strong><\/p>\n Name:<\/strong> Jon Feldman Abby Gives Herself Two Thumbs Up Mighty Squirrels FTW!

\nCongratulations to Abby Meisterman of the Denim Demons for winning the inaugural BTSH Media Survivor Pool. Over the course of 10 grueling weeks, she managed to outlast 18 of BTSH’s most cunning and\u00a0crafty individuals (and Meredith “Danberg” Ficarelli).\u00a0 Here is Abby’s formula for success:<\/p>\n
\nWeek 2:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous defeats Mega Touch, 5-0
\nWeek 3:<\/strong> Fresh Kills defeats Tuques, 5-1
\nWeek 4:<\/strong> Denim Demons defeat Mexican Standoff, 4-3
\nWeek 5:<\/strong> All games cancelled due to “rain fears”.
\nWeek 6:<\/strong> Rehabs defeat Mega Touch, 2-1
\nWeek 7:<\/strong> Unicorns defeat Mega Touch, 2-1
\nWeek 8:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows defeat Mighty Squirrels, 2-1
\nWeek 9:<\/strong> LBS, Inc. defeats Mexican Standoff, 5-2
\nWeek 10:<\/strong> Mighty Squirrels defeat Mega Touch, 4-0<\/p>\n
\nThis is barely worth mentioning, but it’s clearly a pretty slow news week, so here goes anyway… Still stinging from the Happy Little Elves inability to procure the prestigious (yet imaginary) Fairy Tale Cup, Rich Glanzer has made a bet with Unicorns forward Susanna. Whoever scores more goals during the current season will win the right to call him or herself a “fairy”. As of press time, Susanna leads Rich 2-1. Fantastic.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
