As I sit here and plan my hibernation from football (cause I don’t want to see another football field or football for awhile after today), I thought I’d share my observations from the 2006 Bark Bowl. - If the Kerns play in any of the fall leagues with the team they had today, you can hand them the trophy. I have never seen in my life two different teams literally quit against the same team in a day. - The Vegas Nights, the team with the coolest name, offense reminds me of a pick up game at the schoolyard. Their quarterback is the truth and that schoolyard offense was effective enough to get them to the championship game. - Dre from Who’s Next is actually really good. We all know him from the infamous 80+ response threads and I hope I don`t start another one. I can honestly say that I was expecting to see a pompous, arrogant, non-stop talking player out there. He was the total opposite. He was humble and made big plays. I hope he continues to let his play speak for himself. - There is no Lazy Sundae/Rhinos rivalry. When you are beaten by a team in your last four games with them with the last game being a shut out, there really isn’t a rivalry. - There are a lot of hungry new teams out there. Pain, Diesel, etc. I’m coming across a lot of teams that are serious about improving and making a statement in this league. There was one coach of a team in attendance today (they did not participate in the tournament) that will be making there inaugural entry into the season this fall. This coach stayed for the entire Bark Bowl to scout and see what where the traits of the successful teams in this league so that he could position his team for success. Veterans teams beware, while you’re resting other teams are hunting. - Wease, the Left DE for the Rhinos, is the best defensive lineman in the league bar none. See you in the fall To the commissioners, great job on running the tournament!
