\nMathematics\u00a0(3-10) vs. Volanto’s Heroes<\/span> Cobra Kai\u00a0(3-8-1)
\nLocation: <\/strong>Corlears North,\u00a03:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong>\u00a0Mathematics lead 4-0
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>In 2005, these two teams were united as a single “super team” called Henry Motion.\u00a0 However, a difference in playing philosophies caused a rift in the team, as the uber-competitive Sharif “The Chocolate Buzzsaw” Corinaldi and Sarah Coombs founded the Mathematics, and the mild-mannered Peter Oblamski retained control of Henry Motion (later renamed Cobra Kai).\u00a0 Tensions continued when original Cobra Kai members Eli Kazin and Derek Tagliarino defected to the rebel Math team in the middle of the 2007 season.\u00a0 The series reached a fever pitch in last year’s matchup, as the Mathematics beat Cobra Kai 3-2 in overtime, with the hated (and third string) Tagliarino in net.\u00a0 Now, one year later, Cobra Kai is eagerly awaiting this Sunday’s rematch.\u00a0 They have\u00a0scheduled a pep rally and bonfire for Saturday night, where they\u00a0plan to\u00a0burn many mathematics text books.
\nKeys To The Game: <\/strong>
\n1. An anonymous source reports that Cobra Kai captain Peter Oblamski has resigned from the team, effective immediately.\u00a0 The team will miss his crafty game planning and inspirational leadership.
\n2. Jeff “The Hawk” Hawkins scored his first goal for the Mathematics in their last game.\u00a0 With Sharif “The Chocolate Buzzsaw” Corinaldi pursuing an education in California, The Hawk will see a bigger role in the Mathematics’ game plan.
\n3. In a shrewd mid-season acquisition, the Mathematics have obtained Adriano “Muscles Marinara” Bratta from Cobra Kai, due to an unknown loophole in the BTSH application process (they bribed Bob W).\u00a0 Interestingly, Bratta made a point to note that it will be a tad chilly on Sunday, so he will wear a second t-shirt<\/a> under his Mathematics jersey.<\/p>\n

\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Fresh Kills leads 5-2
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>Fresh Kills sharpshooter Bob \u201cOlmec\u201d Weyersberg has vowed to do a choreographed dance routine in celebration of his next goal.\u00a0 Sadly, this game will use regulation size goals, so that event is highly unlikely.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Fresh Kills
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Fresh Kills.\u00a0 Something about this game seems awfully familiar…<\/p>\n
\nLocation: <\/strong>Corlears South, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> What The Puck leads 3-0
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>After remaining unbeaten in their first ten games, the Mighty Squirrels have now dropped two in a row.\u00a0 Things do not get any easier this week as they face off against What The Puck, who is currently in first place.\u00a0 The Squirrels will definitely have their hands full as they try to contain the league’s top offense.\u00a0 Too bad this game will be overshadowed by the Mathematics-Cobra Kai blood feud, which will be played at the same time.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck.\u00a0 Father Time’s bad back > (S)crappy’s bad back
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck.\u00a0 Larry proves once and for all that Long Island is better than New Jersey.<\/p>\n
\nLocation: <\/strong>Moffo, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous leads 2-0
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>This game may be Mexican Standoff superstar Ellery “The Nature Boy” Gillette’s last game in BTSH this season as the NFL (and hence, Redskin) season begins.\u00a0 Fortunately for Standoff, the Redskins play on Thursday this week, so they will have “Naitch” one last time.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous.\u00a0 Some might argue that Ellery is actually a detriment.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Filthy Gorgeous<\/p>\n
\nLocation: <\/strong>Corlears North, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>The Demons ride into this game as the only team without a regulation loss this season and on the heels of an impressive–though not unexpected–win over the Corlears Hookers.\u00a0 The Elves ride into this game on a tricycle they found in a New Jersey landfill.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons<\/p>\n
\nLocation: <\/strong>Corlears South, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series: <\/strong>Corlears Hookers lead 1-0
