10 Is Enough!
The much anticipated HGC Blood Bowl rematch of the Froggy Went A Courtin and Shot in the Dark did not live up to the hype. FWAC started off with a flare of brilliance.
“The ball was on the ground, I picked it up, but I couldn’t get it to Hugh,” said AG boosted linefrog, Slann Juan. Juan had the ball but fumbled the pass to a wide open Hugh Hoppner during the second turn of the first half.
“I would have made some difference, but in reality we were out-matched from the opening whistle,” stated Coach Pauly. “On top of that, we had used all three apothecaries by turn three of the first half. I just wanted the game to get over.”
It just got worse for the Froggies. With so many players in the dead and injured box and the KO box, the Froggies were only able to set up five players to start the second half. Of which, by the time the Shots had taken the ball and scored, only new Blitzer, David Hasselhopp, was the only one left on the pitch. “I thought it was a little lonely on the field, but I thought it was just head trauma.”
But fortune shined on the Froggies. Only one of the three knocked out players made back to the field. “I didn’t want to go back on that field,” declared Capt. Jean-Luc Lickard. “A captain will go down with his ship but that is ridiculous!”
Coach Pauly rushed onto the field with a giant tome insisting that his two players leave the pitch immediately. “It clearly states in the rule book that a team can concede if our team can only field two or less players. After the type of season that we have had, I was looking forward to putting this 0-2 loss behind us.” The game was called after turn 3 of the second half with a clean concede by FWAC.
After the game, FWAC fans had to say good-bye to Justin Timbered Lake whose broken leg ended his short lived carrier. Bye, bye, bye…BYE!

The Death Game Reanimated
Week 5 looked to be a real score fest as the FWAC went up against the Cra-Kahs, an up start necromantic team. Players were ready for a high flying match full of touchdowns...and scoring. For the froggies, it brought disapointment, death, and diving tackle.
From the get go, it seemed the froggies were off. "I don't know what happened," stated league MVP Hugh Hoppner. " I had many open looks at the endzone, but we couldn't get it together!" Hoppner alone was on the wrong end of botched open field score in turn 4 of the first half and a fumbled pass after a blitz on turn 8 of the first half.
"The ball had maybe a bit too much slime for this frog's taste." cooed league passing leader Lando Croakribbitson. "The worst part was the ball got slimier after the destruction of three of our teammates."
FWAC said good-bye to league casualty leader Slann Blitzer, Russel Croak, and FWAC staple linefrog, Froggie DeBergerac.
"Losing a teammate is hard but not seeing that long-nosed SOB hop into the locker room will be the hardest part of them all," sobbed long-time teammate Toadeo Montegue. "He lept into scrums like the best of them. Here's to him leaping to that big lilly pad in the sky."
"Hmmw iee gawt prhhtched hup, hys ha mychacle," stammered Wart Chamblerland. Chamberland was first pronounced DOA on the sidelines, but later came to with a fracture tounge. Team doctors expect him to make a full recovery but want him to undergo tounge rehabilitation. Chamberland will be forced to sit out the team's next game.
In the end, there was a shining star. With the ball securely in the hands of the Cra-Kas making their way for the winning score, David Hasselhopp, FWAC slann blitzer recalls the action.
"Really, all I remember is the ghoul trying to get away. I just dove for what I thought was his feet," stated Hasselhopp in reference to his overtime diving tackle of the Cra-Kah's ghoul, Ritz. It was Hasslehopp's diving tackle spaces from the Cra-Kah's endzone that snatched the win from the Cra-Kahs. "Next thing I knew Hoppner had the ball and was doing that froggy punting thing down field." It was Hoppner's heroics that took the ball the length of the field on turn 6 of OT that set up a miracle finish.
"I had a shot at winning the game outright on turn 7 of OT, but got distracted by Playfrog's newest centefold (in stores now!) on the sidelines." Hoppner redeemed himself with a nail-bitting dodge, pick-up of the ball in a tackle zone, dodge, and scamper into the endzone (starting from the prone position no less) that capped the win for FWAC.
"We have a long way to go before taking on our next opponent. Including replacing three players for the game." said Coach Pauly. "We've played with this many loners before. Why should the game against our hated rivial Shot in the Dark be any different. We have suffered six deaths this season...that is half a team. Our team rebuilding is what is keeping Chopper's Thug Mart in business."

Gen Con 2010 = Round 4
Still morning the loss of their teammates after thier round 3 match up, the Froggies packed up their lilly pads and headed off to Indianapolis for a neutral site game with the greatest band ever to rock the earth, Tenacious D and FN Teamwork. Coach Pauly was impressed with the quick score by the Chaos Pact, but started to settle into his game plan as FWAC rattled off 7 unanswered TD to take a 7-1 lead...the frogs were again part of a eight TD score fest...when one goblin decided to steal the show. On turn 8 of the second half, Wonderboy was tossed into the middle of the pitch to score the games 9th TD. "This was truely a record that will not be broken," stated Lando Croakribbitson. "I was just glad I could be a part of it...and was a little shocked that I was awarded the MVP," cooed a new aquired and bewildered Justin Timbered Lake. On a sad note, Mecha Jerod Leotoad had his face rocked off by rock legend, Jack Black, and unfortunately died from this rocking. Mecha Jerod Leotoad, you will be missed...but we can rebuild you.

The Death Game
A solem win for the Froggies in their round 3 win over the Hip Hop Highsteppers as the team said good-bye to Slann Juan, Pond...James Pond, and Duece European Bigatoad to death. The 5 touchdowns were a small consolation for the loss of these players. "I had to stand on the sidelines and watch my teammates bite it for 16 turns," weeped Hugh Hoppner. Hugh missed the game due to a successful assasination plot against him by the HHH. "I will have to console myself in the arms of these lovely lady frogs." After the match, Justin Timbered Lake, international film and music star, signed on with the team saying, "I've sung my way into the heart of millions of frogs, now it's time to REALLY score." The team welcomes Timbered Lake as they get ready for their next game with just 12 active players. Who knows how many casualites the frogs willl sustain against FN Teamwork?
