BPL - To Go Boldly

And we're back with part 2 of our special analysis of Brisbane Premier League teams and their fictional spaceship analogues. What a great and insightful idea, we're sure you're thinking, dear readers.

UQ Passion = Discovery

Beginning with an extended sequence of grunting herbiverous apes searching for food, being attacked by leopards and chased from their caves by other tribes .... sound familiar? Passion's story too may be Kubrickian in scope, rising from a gang of unintelligent beasts to travelling into space before transcending simple humanity by winning a BPL Final. It's all there, to a great soundtrack.

UQ Lovers = Liberator

Crewed by a band of rebels fighting against a fascist totalitarian regime. Fifteen kinds of awesome, yet oh so cheap.

Dojo Mojo = Millenium Falcon

"May not look like much, but she's got it where it counts". Piloted by the swashbuckling Han Solo and his Wookie first mate Chewbacca, the Dojo Mojo are a team ... hang on a minute. Are we here at the Brisbane Ultimate Blog so snarlack batooched that we're lining up the Dojo next to one of the coolest spaceships ever? Well, it all fits you see. The Wookie. Check. The cool previous owner. Check. The hidden smuggler's hatch. Check. Ventrally mounted hatch-concealed antipersonnel repeating lasers. Check.

But then you say, the Millenium Falcon was instrumental in some of the Rebel Alliance's greatest victories over the Empire. Dojo meanwhile haven't won a final for years. But to this we can only add that the Falcon's reconditioned hyperdrive often fails, and its current captain, has even been seen to restart a failed ignition sequence with a hard rap on the bulkhead with his fist. See, it all fits.
