Middenheim Outperforms Expectations, Draws

Jormungandr 1-1
SEVEN DIRTY NATION STADIUM – Going into this matchup, the Lolphins were picked
to be blownout going into the Seven Dirty Nation Stadium against juggernaut Jormungandr. At
full strength, Middenheim can go toe-to-toe with Dirty Skink and company, but with so many
injuries ravaging the roster at this time from last week’s match against the Ninnies, the Lolphins
were simply outmatched everywhere on paper.

Middenheim hired the Mighty Zug for this match, who almost turned down the contract.

“When my agent notified me the Lolphins needed me for an important divisional rivalry game, I
kind of laughed to myself. The Middenheim Lolphins, isn’t that the team that has a garbage can
for a coach? But I watched some film and saw that these guys was legit so I agreed to put their
jersey on for a match.” Zug stated from his high-rise penthouse in downtown Middenheim
where he was staying the rest of the week before moving on to his next contract.

The Lolphins were without Richmond Webb, their blitzers Zonka and Ripper Wake, and of
course the death of their star thrower Dunn Marino.

“I’m glad that jackass is dead.” Ray Finkle said, putting gum
on the face of a Dunn Marino poster he had hanging in his
locker. “Dude straight up couldn’t hold a ball for me to kick to
save his life. Get it? Save his life? Hahahaha.” Ray Finkle
has no soul.

Greasy Bob, the rookie Lolphins thrower, threw up in Coach

Can before the start of the game while the rowdy Jormungandr
fans chanted WE WILL WE WILL SHIV YOU! All the
while there were effigies of Greasy Bob hanging and burning
from the stands. It was definitely a mind game that the young
thrower had to overcome.

“I tried to keep my breakfast in but … I’m not going to lie. I was scared. I was scared bad.” The
thrower stated.

“Mutha ****** almost pissed himself.” Samuel L Jackson stated from the team’s hot tub. “I was
out there for one reason. Revenge. Revenge for this.” He pointed at his missing eye where
Dirty Skink had removed it on a dirty play the last time these two teams had met in
Middenheim.

Jackson would get some measure of revenge, fouling Icky Valencourt and stunning the skink for
a time.
The outmatched Lolphins kicked the ball to start the game and proceeded to lock down
Jormungandr’s offense. With only eleven players, the Lolphins couldn’t afford to lose any players
if they wanted a shot at a victory, which was badly needed to keep up in the division.
Blitzer Jason Taylor was gifted by one of Mighty Zug’s old jersey’s. It was enough to spark
motivation in the rookie.

“Playing on the same field as that man, and then having him give me one of his old jersey’s… it
was beyond an honor.” Taylor stated. He would pull through for the Lolphins later in the game
as we will get to in a moment.

The first-half was a stale-mate, with Jormungandr unable to find an opening in the aqua and
orange defense. Dirty Skink was thrown to the ground and knocked unconscious and the ball
managed to find its way into the hands of Zac Tumas, commonly known now in Middenheim as
Black Zac the Traitor (also more on that in a minute).

Zac scooped the ball up and took the ball into Jormungandr territory. With time waning, he
launched a perfect pass to wide open receiver Red Baron Kenny Stills.

Stills has played the role of hero in several Lolphins games this season, but in this game, a game
that the Lolphins needed to win, he was the goat.

The perfect spiral hit Stills

right in his numbers, and
bounced off and onto the
turf. Stills let a perfect
touchdown throw go to
waste.

“You can’t do **** like that.”

Zug stated after the game.
“Championship teams do not
drop wide open touchdown
passes like that. This team
still has a ways to go before they are contenders.”

Matt Damon, back from his coma and playing against doctor’s orders, agreed.

“Matt Dddd….. Matt… Matt Daaaa….Daaaaaaa….” Matt Damon still cannot pronounce his
name after his injury. Needless to say, we know what he means.

“That dropped pass made me mutha ******* sick.” Jackson also stated. “Best believe that that boy
is getting a soap party in the locker room later.”
With halftime over and the score knotted up, the Lolphins had to make something happen or
their divisional hopes and playoff hopes in general were going to be flushed.

Greasy Bob received a high kick off and the Lolphins went to work. With the front line
consisting of Suh (who complained his hiney hurt after his surgery to remove his armor from his
rectum courtesy of Legion of Doom player the Boz) and Mighty Zug, the normally dominant
Jormangandr saurus line of meat was put on their back.

“That bloke has a right hook that will knock the teeth out of ya.” Saurus Captain Insano told
our reporters. “I aint never been hit like that by a human.”

It took four turns, but Jormangundr committed to a rush on Greasy Bob, who was bottled up in
midfield. After being drug to the ground twice and dropping the ball twice, the Greasy one
snatched the ball up a third time and rolled out of the pocket after a timely blitz by Black Zac
Tumas knocked a skink off of him.

Bob’s pass was magic. He hit Jason Taylor, that star

struck kid wearing Mighty Zug’s old jersey, with a
perfect pass, and unlike questionably talented Red
Baron Stills, Taylor caught that ball in stride and put
the Lolphins up 1-0.

The Lolphins just had to play four turns of defense

and keep Jormungandr out of the endzone to pull off
the upset of the season and stay in contention for the
divisional title.

Fielding a perfect Ray Finkle kick, Dirty Skink

caged up along the left side of the field and drew
time down while the Lolphins played a prevent
column defense to stall the lizardmen.

With the game almost over, Jormungandr played its final dirty trick. Black Zac the Traitor was
once again blackmailed by Mamma, and chucked a surprised Samuel L Jackson back while
letting Dirty Skink and Icky Valencourt train on by.

Needing a perfect set of rolls, Icky almost failed to get into the endzone, but the re-roll saw her
there, and Dirty Skink threw a perfect pass that was perfectly caught with no available re-rolls to
draw the game 1-1 and finish things off.

“Aint nobody winning in my home. Nobody.” Dirty said, walking back to the locker room.

“I love Mamma. I’m sorry. My love comes before anyone else.” Black Zac stated, a look of
pained conflict etched on his face.
“Matt Daaa….Daaaaaaaaaaaa” Matt Damon said with a very angry look on his face.

Granted, the Lolphins were picked to get blown out and drew a team that was more dominant
then them on paper. Not only did they draw the team, they would have won had Red Baron
Stills caught the pass in the first place.

Its not all bad in Middenheim, though the draw combined with a Legion of Doom victory over
the Pirats drops them to third in the division.

Middenheim will be rolling into Dicky Sherman’s stadium next week against the Legion of
Doom in another important and epic divisional showdown.

This time they will have their whole team back, plus a new thrower named Ryan Tabenhell
whom they picked up from Longhorn University.

Ryan begins practicing with the team this week and is expected to back up Greasy Bob.
Playoff picture, clearing up? Or not?
by Clay

After almost 6 full weeks, the playoff picture should be clearing up, but a crazy week 6 may see
things becoming too tight to call.

LBBC East – Jormungandr had a chance to put some distance between himself the rest of the
division with a little help from the Pirats. Instead, the Lolphins almost pulled the upset, while
the Legion of Doom won going away to make the division championship completely up for
grabs. Only 1 point between Division leader and 2nd place now, with the Lolphins pulling up 3rd,
and still not out of it. Next weeks games should give someone a chance to make a move in the
division. 2nd and 3rd play each other, while 1st and 4th square off. This division could come down
to the final week of the season, and could easily see 2 teams into the playoffs.

LBBC South – The Nuln Lions and the Stormboyz are tied record-wise, with Nuln holding the
current tiebreaker. In fact, Nuln controls the 1st two Tiebreakers, so the Stormboyz are on the
outside looking in at a division championship. There is still a playoff spot up for grabs if the
Stormboyz can win out.

LBBC North – The North is all wrapped up for the Patriots. Widely considered the weakest
division in the league due to no winning records outside the Patriots, it’s statistically impossible
to catch the Pats at this point. Though there is an extreme chance that one team could go on a
run and make the playoffs, but the odds are extremely long and a lot of help will be needed.

LBBC West – Louisville City and Gork n Mork are in a race for the division title, but it looks
like Louisville City has a decided advantage and should win the division. Gork may yet have
something to say about this though and if Gork n Mork can go on a winning streak to end the
season, either a Division Title, or a playoff birth could be in their future.

LBBC Central – Blaine’s Bashers suffered their first loss of the season this week, and have
opened the door the slightest bit for the 2nd place team to make a move for the division title.
Devil’s Backbone would need to win out while the Bashers lose out for no tiebreaker to be
necessary. If the Backbone can beat the Bashers in next weeks’ games, things would tighten
considerably. With the only tiebreaker currently held by the Bashers due to a 1-0 victory head
to head, the Backbone can erase that tiebreaker with a win over the Bashers this week, which
would also give them the tie breaker should the two teams tie for the division title based on
wins/draws/losses.

LBBC Badlands – Although the Rat Bone Brigade has a chance to win the Division, it’s going
to require them to win out and the Rampagers to lose out and then some other luck. Not
looking good for the Skaven, but nothing is impossible.

Right now, the edge in the Wild Card spots would seem likely to go to the LBBC East, South,
West, or Central. Going to be an exciting 3 final weeks of the season folks!
Louisville City Survives Pouring Rain, Orcish Tricks, Holds
First Place in West
Thunder boomed as the Louisville City Blood Bowl Club lined up against rival Gorn ‘n’ Mork
University in front of 26,000 rabid fans heavily favoring the home team of orcs. Hungry for
revenge, the U pulled out all of the stops but the boys in purple were able to hold on for the win
and first place in the LCCB West.

“Don’t Get Them Wet!”, despite the pouring rain, City fans came strong with their Tifo game.

When Gork ‘n’ Mork University had the ball…

City kicked off first, with kicker Mark-Anthony Kaye sending the ball high into the wind and
torrential downpour. Gork ‘n’ Mork star thrower Awra Teefsmasha cradled the slippery ball
easily and the teams were off. As the orcs consolidated and moved into position to move the ball
down the pitch, we saw the first trick they had up their sleeve: Blitzer Surv Skullstompa,
benched for the opening kick, sprinted from the Gork ‘n’ Mork endzone. In his excitement he
slipped momentarily on the rain soaked turf but recovered to catch up with the rest of his team.

Either the referees never noticed or never cared as the orcs would play the remainder of the drive
with twelve men.
The U blockers would go into a rampage, led by Black Orc Eled Eadabasha. Blitzer Friscos
Fistsmasha would hit blitzer Kyle Smith with a stunning hit, Lineman Bonsai Rumpstompa
would place a haymaker on Paco Craig and Eadabasha would stun Sean Reynolds before taking
out big Ogre Greg Ranjitsingh with a particular nasty blow to his hip. Ranjitsingh fell to the
muddy slop with a yowl and would not return to the game.

Despite a ten to twelve man disadvantage, City held to a bend, but don’t break defense before
Skullstompa unleashed the second trick up his sleeve. An explosion went off on the Louisville
City line of scrimmage sending a few players ducking for cover, but fortunately unscathed from
the strategically placed landmine.

With the clock ticking down and the U needing to score, Lineman Sangu Eadstompa split out
wide waving enthusiastically for the pass, but found himself in blanket coverage by City Catcher
Speedy Williams.

Teefsmasha pump-faked the pass but opted to hand the ball off to Blitzer Galadeon Gutkrumpa.
Lightning flashed as the rain-soaked ball slipped through the blitzer’s fingers and fell to the turf
with a splash. The half would end with the ball sitting in a puddle and zeroes on the
scoreboard.

“These ****ers couldn’t break us”, Reynolds boasted. “Goddamn rainstorm, twelve men on the
field, a ****ing landmine, they take out Greg, we still held them!”

When City had the ball….

The rain didn’t let up after halftime and City found themselves needing to move the ball in the
slop and without their Ogre. Lineman George Davis IV subbed into the game for Ranjitsingh
wearing a little extra bling: Luthor’s Dazzling Wristguards.

“George is a capable lineman, but he ain’t an ogre”, Apothecary Steve Finkelstein stated, “I tried
to find him a chainsaw or something, but only came up with the wristguards. I guess they
worked, we won somehow!”

The U kicked off and with a quick snap thrower Guy Abend secured the ball. Two separate
scrums broke out near the line of scrimmage. Thrower Niall McCabe made the hit of his young
career sending Sangu Eadstompa into concussion protocol and in retaliation for Greg’s injury,
Reynolds sent Eled to the ground, momentarily stunned. Gork ‘n’ Mork Troll Pala Gutstompa
went for Davis and his shiny wristguards, but found himself flat on his back.

With Williams, Reynolds, Davis, Craig and lineman Paolo DelPiccolo tying up the majority of
the orc defense, Abend was able to slip behind the line escorted by a large contingent of purple
jerseys. Sprinting towards the end zone, Teefsmasha found himself severely outnumbered from
his safety position. The rest of the defense could not catch up before Abend cross the goal line
for this third touchdown of the season.
“We had options but with the rain I wanted to hold onto the ball as long as I could”, said Abend,
“Luckily I never had to attempt a hand-off or pass and we came out of here with a win.”

Star Players
Eled Eadabasha dazzled the fans with bit hits including the one that injured Ranjitsingh and
Blitzer Iceflow Necksnappa took home the MVP trophy for the orc side. Impressed by his dirty
tricks and hijinks, Blood Illustrated awarded their MVP to Surv Skullstompa.

Abend found the endzone again, but the key to the game was positioning. Blitzer Sean
Reynolds played a key role on offense and defense and earned the Orcdidas Man of the Match.
Catcher Luke Spencer debuted for Louisville City and while his contributions didn’t show in the
box score, he teamed well with Williams in helping prevent the orcs from scoring. Thirteen of
the fourteen City players saw action, but inexplicably, Blood Illustrated selected Lineman Ilija
Ilic as their MVP. Ilic was the one player that did not see action.

Your Blood Illustrated MVP never had to take off his rain gear.
Now in the driver’s seat for the LBBC West, Louisville City will return home next week to face
another divisional opponent. Buy your tickets early and cheer on the boys as they try to increase
their lead on the table. Come on City!
Rumblers Upset Bashers 2-1
WAAAAAAAGH!!!!! Shouted coach Brick Jones in the post-game interview. This
announcer is actually afraid for his life while writing this report for the blood bowl magazine.
The Rumblers in a blood crazed frenzy after beating the central division leader have started
pillaging the neighboring Middenheim Lolphins. Its pure anarchy down here currently. They
actually decided to play blood bowl and won the game that many suspected was already in the
bag for the Blaine Bashers.

How did this game shake out? It started out roses for the Rumblers when they were able
to go on the offense in the first half. The Bashers having lost to the Rumblers in the preseason,
and watched many of the games from the sidelines knew that Coach Brick Jones is more fighter
than planner, doesn’t own a play book, and loves to have his gits smash each other all day rather
than drill on the field knew that they wanted to bash their way to victory. The bashers set up a
prevent defense with a lot of guys in the back field and let the Rumblers have their way with the
front three left on the line.

Big Mike started off with a wallop in the center position stunning the Blaine’s linemen.
All three guys got POWs off, and then the Rumblers rushed in for a foul, knocking out a
prostrate linemen. Nothing of note happened with the Bashers playing very passive trying to
keep the Rumblers cage from going deep into territory. The Rumblers see-sawed their way from
sideline to sideline eventually landing a few key blocks and getting to the end zone by turn six.

The Blaine Bashers took a very aggressive offense set up and rushed down the field
hoping the score with 2 turns left. The Rumblers gave too much room on the sidelines hoping
to just bash the last turns away but Porn Star was lighting in a bottle and was deep into Rumbler
territory with one turn left in the half.

Great blitzing from the Bashers freed up the thrower and heaved up the ball for Porn
Star to catch and dodge out of a tackle zone and run straight into the endzone with TWO go-
for-its. Then Porn Star saw the one thing that would cause him to trip. His Twin brother Lil
Nasher and his pet Squig sitting in the Rumblers stands.

His long though dead bother of 42 brother and sisters and nemesis was back and waiting
to join his rival club. This was all too much for Porn Star and he tripped lost the ball in the
endzone ending the half.

Again the Blaine Bahsers were off to a running start with Porn Star getting to the open
field and catching the ball and skipping into the endzone. Gleefully looking at Lil Nasher in the
stands and spiking the ball in his face.

This left the Rumblers with five turns to score and it would be all they needed. The
Bashers again were very passive and the Rumblers played sideline to sideline moving the
defensive secondary around the pitch until
they got a good block and somebody out
of position. Then BOOM the cage was
deep into Basher territory.
The Bashers defense were so close
to pulling out a tie. The cage became
over extended and the Bashers secondary
were set up for a critical blitz on the ball
carrier and boom the ball was dropped.
With one turn left to score the Rumblers
had to make four rolls to win.

1. Blitz a lane open to retrieve the

downed ball.
2. Key block to open up Blitzer Robbie
to retrieve the ball.
3. Pick up the ball.
4. Dodge out of a tackle zone.

And they made every single one. Game over. Rumblers WIN Rumblers WIN!

BASHERS LOSE!
By Chris W

Blaine Bashers stumble, fall, and then burst into a flaming ball of fire at Rocky Top
Rumblers Stadium. But this is not the first defeat while playing at Coach Roy’s; there was of
course the disastrous preseason game. In short, playing the Beast of Central at home has been
the Achilles heel of the Bashers this entire season. Every lost, both regular season and preseason
has happened there.

There are reasons that this was a loss, there is not only a thing, but also a probable thing
at that. Reason one, Big Mike. But enough said about him, let us skip past that and go onto
reason two – Big Mike. Every blitz, you have a non-stupid hulking player coming at you with
crazy blocking skills. Sacred Wind at times could use his wrestle to deflect the freight Train at
full steam, but still, being hit by a train sucks.

Wait, the post-game press conference has just started, we now cut live to Coach Skullface who I
must say, seems quite calm considering.

“It was a tough one out there today. But Nuffle tripped Porn Star on the goal line at the end of
the first half depriving us of an end of half goal. Then Nuffle again rolled the bones at the end
of the second half and came up all skulls that allowed the Rumblers to capitalize on a last second
touchdown. I thought my team played well, and had it not been for Nuffle’s last second
intervention in both halves of the game… “

Reporter: “Are you alright Coach?”

“Am I alright? Hell no! Nuffle, you are a son of a bitch! I curse your name, you
<<Censored>>. Porn Star waves his private parts in your direction and Gnawswald reminds you
that there is a full moon out tonight!”

“But I digress, maybe some good did come

out of the game. We no longer have the weight of
either an undefeated season or a perfect no goals
allowed defense hanging over our heads. It will be a
weight off our shoulders going forward. We have
another tough away game coming up against Devil’s
Backbone that we could very well lose. Then after
this four-game road trip, we should return home for
the final two games of the season to nail down both
the division and home field advantage going into the
playoffs.

Reporter: “How is your starting player doing after taking that hit from Big Mike?”

“The Hound played well before big Mike fractured his arm. He has had his arm X-rayed and it
is looking like he will miss the all-important game against Devil’s Backbone. But we look to
have him back against Coach Josh and his Lizard man.”

Reporter: “So you are going to

be outmanned. Any hints as to how you
will deal with Tankhor Rotten Bull or
the newly contracted Minotaur? “

“We are looking into that. We

are in a one game contract negotiation
with Mr. Dungfrog, a troll on our
practice squad to step in for a game to
help out. We will see?”
The Nuln Lions Weekly
The crowd grows around the bar, as more and more Nulnites get out of the factory’s and
get to spend their hard earn gold and silver on drinks and food. Most of the tv’s are set to the
Blood Bowl Television Network. Current the program is the review of games that have taken
place over the past few days. The crowd cheers as the next game being reviewed is the local team
Nuln Lions.

At a new desk sits all three of the commutators, Dirk Neglar, the dwarf, Grimzal the
Mighty, Black Orc, and Carl Reckler, human.

“Welcome back Blood Bowl fans. The game between division rivals Nuln Lions and
Stormboyz, was a heart breaker for both teams. They currently hold the number one and number
two places on top of the division with a set to the blood bowl WACC Cup final on the line.”
Dirk spoke.

“That’s right Dirk, the two teams really needed to come away with a win today in order
to put themselves ahead of the other team. But they found themselves with a draw at the end.”
Carl spoke.

“The Stormboyz scored first in the game, which really put the pressure on the Lions to
force a score quickly in order to have a chance at getting a second score. But a dirty trick on the
next drive really caused the Lions to have to rethink their plans. Somehow a second ball was
placed on the field and so now the Lions had to protect two balls. And in great style the Lions
pushed through the Stormboyz lines and setup Calvin Jumpson to score on turn 8 of the first
half.” Grimzal spoke.

“It was a real back and forth the first half for both teams. At the start of the second Half
the Lions held onto the ball most of the half trying to force the Stormboyz into a mistake or miss
position on the field. Deep in the Stormboyz back field one of the blitzers for the lions made
into the endzone where Mathew Standford threw a long pass to put them Lions ahead, but it
was intercepted by the Stormboyz who quickly ran it down the field and set up a cage. As the
clocked wended down, the Lions got a player through the cage and knocked the ball lose.” Carl
spoke.

“Many people were expecting the Stormboyz to capitalize on the injury of Star Player
Barry Randers for Lions, with him out, one of the main scoring weapons for the Lions was lost.
However, thanks to some great recovery by the Lions and quick scoring they hold the Stormboyz
to a draw this round. So with this draw, how do you see the Lions chances for getting into the
playoffs?” Dirk asked.

“I think the Lions have a great chance, the next two games are with other members of the
division, and they have already proven they can really play a tough game against them.” Grimzal
spoke.
 “Quite right Gramzal, and with the return of Barry Randers to the lineup, I believe this
team will really make a strong push into the playoffs. Plus most of the players on the team have
gained new skills and strengths. I see them making to at least the first round of the playoffs, but
losing out to one of the other divisions”

And a loud roar can be heard all around the bar as the crowd loses control and starts
breaking screen all around the room.

Gork ‘n Mork University 0-1 Loss at Home

Rain drenched the field as Louisville City kicked the ball to hosting team Gork ‘n Mork
University in their second meet up of this season. Awra Teefsmasha (#42) moved under the kick
to start the game’s first possession. The black orcs moved forward to set face to face with the
humans of Louisville City. Bonsai Rumpstompa (67) was on point to control troll, Pala
Gutstompa (80) this game.

The game started with Surv Skullstompa (237) on the sidelines. Our thoughts were that coach
Caoboi Clubsmasha had set Skullstompa on the sidelines for his actions during their first game
with Louisville City. Those that may not remember, Surv Skullstompa turned on Iceflow
Necksnappa (22) in their first meet up with Louisville City and a few questionable dropped
passes by Skullstompa from Awra Teefsmasha.

Once the Blitzers, lineman Sangu Eadstompa (88), along with Teefsmasha positioned
themselves with the ball. They were met with opposition twice and suddenly Skullstompa
stormed the field from the endzone. At this point the 16,000 Gork ‘n Mork fans erupted into
applauses. The refs must have been distracted because they didn’t count the twelve men on the
field. Skullstompa and the other eleven orcs remained on the field for the entire half.

Eled Eadbasha (8) laid a heavy hit on the Louisville City ogre and he would be out for the rest of
the game. The half ended with a dropped ball near the Louisville City end zone and Gork ‘n
Mork University would still remain scoreless against the Louisville City team.

Going into the second half Louisville City would positon the ball and run the clock out and
Abend (5) from Louisville City would make the only score for the whole game. Even with
Louisville City having a number disadvantage their ability and speed carried them to making
another step to the being the LBBC West Champions.

Speaking with Coach Clubsmasha after the game you could tell the rage and disappointment in
his eyes, yet he said “Dem boyz played as hard as they could, we were hoping to get a draw at the
least after our failed attempt to see the endzone.”

When asked about the event of the landmine being placed on the field, Coach Caoboi had no
words to say and said he “had no idea what happened it wasn’t us.” There is rumors that Gork ‘n
Mork black orc, Eled Eadbasha may have placed that mine but that’s only rumors.
Surv Skullstompa would receive the Blood Illustrated MVP award for his comeback story of
trying to make things right from the first match up. Iceflow Necksnappa would receive MVP for
consistency during the game.

The last time that Gork ‘n Mork University lost to Louisville City they would go forth and tie up
the division what will come of this? Will Gork ‘n Mork bring the pain? Will Gork ‘n Mork keep
their opponents guessing with their unorthodox ways? Only three weeks left and we will find
out.

The Rat Brigade vs Norsica Preview

The tension in the locker room was palpable. The musk of fear overwhelming the senses as it
oozes out of every pore of every Skaven in the room. They had played these humans before and it
didn't go well. The team didn't understand it, they were just humans, but somehow these
humans were different and if the rumors were true the humans were now stronger. The only
comforting fact was that the team had bested Orcs before yet those wins were tempered with
their own bloody losses.

It was no surprise then when the Grey Seers predicted blood. The Grey Seers always predicted
blood but this time tides of blood coursed through the stadium, washing over the entire field. It
was a dire portent. The foretelling did not say however whose blood was going to run like rivers.
They never do. This had almost every Skaven on edge except the carnage hungry Stormvermin.
Even Coach Skeeter Dee was nervous as rumor has it, the Clan Eshin have made not-so-quiet
threats should anything ill happen to their Gutter Runners. If things go horribly, the team may
need a new coach in addition to new players.

The Gutter Runners themselves were eyeing each other with malicious intent. Who amongst
their ranks would still be walking tomorrow? Would the media darling be knocked down a peg
or two? Would the least amongst them take advantage and claw their way to dominance?

The team’s linemen were terrified. They knew they were expendable. To drive this point home,
soldiers have been stationed outside their hovels to ensure they do not sneak off or fail to show
up for the game. In an attempt to pacify and encourage the linemen, Coach Skeeter Dee has
promised great rewards to the survivors. What still hangs above their heads however is how the
coach has been ominously silent on the fate of those that get injured. There are no illusions
however; their role is to be a fire break, keeping heat off of the far more valued Gutter Runners.
While in their best interests to ensure the linemen show up, the Brigade Gunner Runners have
further antagonized and threatened the linemen themselves with dire harm should they decide to
flee the team.

The Brigade's pair of Stormvermin however is chittering in anticipation. While these humans
may have grown stronger they feel confident that they will be able to hold their own, they are
after all, less armored humans. They have been sharpening their punching spikes and helmet
studs in hopes that they will be the generators of the rivers of blood foretold by the Seers. Quiet
prayers to Nuffle can be heard slipping from their snouts. The Brigade needs their core strength
and resilience to ensure that the Norse team doesn’t run rampant over the linemen. They are
confident they will be a cornerstone of the defense.

The game promises to be brutal and it will be close. Prayers to Nuffle have been made, we shall
see if he listens.
Gouged Eye Draw Tlaxtan Kohs
That's right fans, the boyz held their ground this game! Traveling to the game was gloomy for
the team with pouring rain, but by the time it was kickoff the weather was looking nice and
sunny. Just like a perfect summer day in the Badlandz. The boss decided to let the other team set
up first, I imagine it was so he could start thinking of matchups on the field as those dirty
lizardmen slithered onto the field. The boyz matched the vile creature known as the Kroxigor
pound for pound under center staggering Black Orc Blockers, the alpha males of the pack for
sure. The only thing they thought of was getting bigger and stronger, it was in their blood.

Opening kickoff receiving the ball against the wind was a wake up call for the orcs to hone in on
all they’ve learned from the season so far, so it was good to screw up early on an easy pass.
Besides, the field and ball were still drying off from the pouring rain that had ensued before the
game. So the boyz shrugged that off once they kicked it back and were prideful on how strong
the Black Orcs held the line to give the rising orc thrower an opening to go through his
progressions. 1….2…3… he took the 2 route which was a pretty throw just slippery hands in the
linemans part. The lineman pounded his chest looking at the thrower afterwards and said my
fault brother as the walk off the field with their heads up.

Kicking the ball back to the Kohs, the ground rumbled and shook under the orcs charge to kill
the man with the ball. All the Saurus and Skinks were eyeing the Black Orcs so they steered clear
of their iron wall of destruction. What the slimy number two skink scurrying across the field
didn't see out of the opposite corner of his field of view was the number fifteen orc blitzer that
cut his path right from a straight line and smashed the skinks brains in.. later on the boyz saw
the skink was still alive in the injury box, who thought lizards could regrow almost anything. It
really fired the boyz up, they had his pals marked for a statement. Take away their run game and
play man to man brutality in the middle. Scoring would come second.

The Black Orcs clearly looked the most improved from the season so far, they were a honed in
four man wall that would not move. In fact, the Kruxigor was boneheaded most of the match just
trying to figure out where the hell he was from all the head blows. It gave the Orc Blitzers a lot
of confidence and they were really getting the hang of running their routes. In fact, number five
close lined a number ten Skink trying to take his head off and when the dirty skink slammed into
the ground the orc yelled regrow that!! While laughing as the skink was thrown off the field by
the referee. Literally. That hit caused the fumble that the number eleven blitzer grabbed and
juked in for a touchdown. Between being down 1-0 at half time and two skinks brutally injured,
it caused the lizard fans to clash with orc fans. Brass knuckles, knives, bowling balls, rocks, you
name it was thrown around. Incidentally causing a temporary stadium lockdown as it made a
couple lizardmen go face down with injuries in the field and almost half the orc line down itself.
Thankfully halftime allowed some recovery. It shook the boyz up long enough for the lizards to
sneak in a point but they got back on the pain train and held strong to finish it a tie game. Can
they keep this momentum as the season comes close to a close? Exciting times! Stay tuned
Gouged Eye fans, da boyz are looking up!
