Log Jam 2008 Preview..

Nation,

Tough week for me personally, with the passing of a tremendous uncle. I wasn't able to write much on worlds because of that and a lack of internet conenction at the new home for most of the week.

Firebird heads to St Alban's Vermont this weekend for LogJam. We're going down with a very small but potentially talented roster, so it might be another big weekend for a team having a great season.

12 men's teams, with three canadian squads (Mephisto, Firebird, and Magma).

Here is how our schedule shapes up

• Our first game is not till 11am (sweet) and we play our biggest game versus the Providence Pack Dogs. If we win, we really help our chances of finishing top 2 in the pool and automatically making it to semis. It should be a tough match.
  
• We then play the top seed Chuck Wagon in another tough match. Our toughest games are the first two, so we better be ready for the challenge
• We play Zebra Muscles third, and will look to win our third straight from them this year. Zebra looks to improve every time we see them.
• We finish Saturday versus unknown 'Good News Everyone'. We hope it's not Sockeye taking a break from worlds. Damn pick up teams and their ?? factor.
  
• Sunday morning we play Magma and hopefully set ourselves up for playoffs

Little is known about our opponents, but we have the following objectives

• Be ready on point one Saturday
• Put teams away when we get the chance, something good teams need to learn before they can be very good or great
  
• Have fun

I'm not one to hype american tourneys, but this one looks fun
-Finals for women and men will be in a stadium
-Double Dragon is hosting a game of STUMP. We are told "Don't ask questions, just show up."
