Goblins Fight for BOB Lives


Is this a Golden Goblin?

In the first weekend that sees all the BTFF teams wearing their regular hemlets in over a month, the Golden Goblins are on their last legs. Sitting at 3-4, the Goblins need a win to keep any hope of a return trip to the Blue Ox Bowl alive. If the Goblins win and the Spitfires get their first victory of the season against the Goodgers, the Goblins would be right back in the thick of the Blue Ox Bowl race, just one game behind second place Goodgers. Worst case, a win this week would put the Goblins 2 games back from both the Goodgers and the Farmers with 3 weeks to play in the regular season. But a loss likely means that the Blue Ox Bowl runner up for the last 2 seasons will not be making a return trip this year.

It would also mark the earliest that the BTFFL has seen the Bowl schedule settled -- last season went down to the final week before it was clear that the Goodgers would face he Goblins.
