BUML2012-1 Round 3: Shiver Me Whiskers!

Holy moly, we’re back for a second week and on to Round 3. The plan was to say a lot about Division 2 this week but, you know what, we think we nailed it last time when we suggested they were the big beer gut around the centre of the competition, and happy to be that way. So we’ll largely let them wobble around a bit before we turn the lens too close.

**Division 2 aka Mother**
>>Tsunami vs Baby Chimis – Annerley 3A
After shedding some rust during losses last week, both these teams will be looking for a win.
>Our tip: Tsunami by 1.

>>What The Huck? vs Bermuda Triangle – Easts 2
After shedding some kilos during wins last week, both these teams will be looking to maintain the vibe, particularly the three sided ones, who’re looking at two wins on the trot for the first time since Lochie was a lad.
>Our tip: Bermuda Triangle by 1.

>>Heroes vs Disc-iples - Easts 3
“Iple dipple one, this is iple dipple two, come in iple dipple” Will that be the cry during this game?
>Our tip: Heroes by 4.

>>Discheads vs Agents – Gap 1
Meanwhile, the Discheads venture out to the formerly happy hunting ground of Agent Orange, who these days are looking increasingly vulnerable at their former Gap fortress.
>Our tip: Discheads by 2.

**Division 3 aka Maiden**
>>Slipped Discs vs QUTies – Annerley 5A
The Speakers of the House had a bye last week, which if it went to plan, gave them a bit more time to tour this place, and maybe call the gang to order. Meanwhile, the QUTies had a slightly controversial loss to new kids the Griffith Yee Haws (or is that the Yee Hars?), who this week get the bye. Mental note – the QUTies Facebook group is the tamest gang of University students you’d ever come across. In sum - the QUTies will be hungry, while the Slipped Discs are a week behind already.
>Our tip: QUTies by 4.

>>Ultimate Apostles vs Griffith Oh Yeahs – Griffith 1
The Apostles will be feeling a sense of déjà vu, as, same as last week, they face a team dressed in garish red, only the Oh Yeahs have an average age 10 years lower than the Go-Go’s, thanks to JdR being on that other team. So yes, it will be tough for Marcus’ dozen. Still, there’s a potential challenge for the Oh Yeahs, in the League having to sadly migrate across to the Griffith rugby field. Yes, the Uni has shafted the Griffith Ultimate Club and bumped them off the holy oval. *sigh*
>Our tip: Oh Yeahs by 7.

>>Mellow Yellow vs Griffith Go-Go's – Griffith 2
The Go-Go’s are in the very unfamiliar position of ‘top of the table’ after a solid win last week against the newbie-flavoured Ultimate Apostles, but its get tough time against an experienced Mellow Yellow outfit. The tightest game of the round, wethinks.
>Our tip: Go-Go’s by 1.

**Division 1 aka Crone**
Well, before we go into the preview for next Monday night, lets see what the punters out there thought of the season ahead for BUML Division 1:

Hmm. So the Dyspnoeics are favourites, yes?

>>UQ Lovers vs Poachers – Annerley 3B
Well, the Lovers showed last week that the loss of their home ground would not stop the wins, although it’ll be interesting to see how they go as the semester progresses. The Poachers meanwhile started the season with their usual dark horse impersonation, flogging The Ghost Who Walks on the next field over. Should be hard fought.
>Our tip: UQ Lovers by 4.

>>Dyspnoeics vs The Ghost Who Walks – Easts 1
Has everyone seen Mansauce-in-a-Cowboys-Jersey on television or the internet yet? Apparently this footage is making it’s way around Channel 9 and there’s talk of a reality show, “My Survivor Chef Mornings with Mansauce, featuring the Dyspnoeics, Andy and Suz”. Sounds interesting – I’d watch it if it were ABC4Kids.
>Our tip: Dyspnoeics by 5.

>>Pick Up Discs vs White Lantern – Gap 2
And so, the chant went up: “In deepest endzone, on open grass, no Frisbee shall escape my grasp, let those who worship Dusty’s pass, beware my power, White Lantern’s ass!” And lo, the pants did drop and some pasty white buttocks were flashed. Meanwhile, Pick Up Discs is still the worst, lamest, weakest name for an Ultimate team we've ever seen, and we won't be letting that go.
>>Our tip: White Lantern by 1.

And that’s it. Go the Eels. Keep rucking it up the middle Blackie. Enjoy the eggs, Carla. Best of luck to all teams, make sure you sacrifice to the sunshine goddess, and we’ll see you on Monday night.
