deadsox 890 Posted April 30, 2018 I'm very happy to have gotten past YW. Thanks for your sportsmanship Youngster! Best of luck DDT in our semi-finals rematch. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,288 Posted April 30, 2018 @Heef, commiserations on a hard fought match. You had a great team and I was worried you'd get a last minute equaliser, such was the strength and depth within your squad. It was a privilege and honour to do battle with you. @deadsox, so we meet again! Good luck, fellow veteran of many, many deadpool campaigns. @msc, thank you for taking the time to create and maintain this excellent competition. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heef 166 Posted April 30, 2018 Ah well. 6 points was never going to be enough to make it through a tough Semi Final. A poor time to put out my weakest line-up to date, I think. Congrats to DDT and good luck to the semi-finalists (although perhaps the 'good luck' should be reserved for their respective teams!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, it was a valiant run from the deadpooler who picks the living. It would have been closer if I'd gone with my sub, but it the end, it wasn't a goalless effort from me either. Go on and win it deadsox. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,011 Posted May 1, 2018 Looking at 4 incredible lineups there. Dead Cow gotta hand it to you, it's going to be a whale of a match, best of luck mate. Already 10-v-10 with Bishop Quinn retiring to the broadcast booth. SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,011 Posted May 1, 2018 Now my least favourite part of the post-lineup events: Looking at the names I missed 'who? who's that one? How did I miss him/her?" Just as I'm sure I gave my 3 fellow Semi-Finalists a couple head-scratchers, believe you me I am googling a few names myself. I admire all your research efforts.

I'll have to hope I have the luck for him to have month-long red tape issues or to equalize with someone else. Me winning by luck wouldn't be a new story, lol.

msc 17,740 Posted May 4, 2018 Loudon Wainwright didn't sing "Dead basketball coach in the middle of the road" as it wouldn't fit the tune nor would it be historically accurate. However, Larry Hunter is dead, and it's unique points for The Dead Cow. If that's the weirdest attempted segue in Cup history yet, then blame a stupidly busy work. Is it the weekend? Thank god. Tempted to give everyone a 10 point bonus for it being Friday, but you'll just have to accept that in spirit, and in reality it's: Dead Cow v Sir Creep 4-0 DDT v Deadsox 0-0 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be me SC Nawaz is on my team as well, so she's irrelevant in our tie. I reckon my best bets are with Lang, Silsbee and McCain. The Vietnamese folk could go any day, but they could also linger on for months. Thakur was a mistake, Salisbury I think might be too early and Da-Ren seems fine for now. I do agree that'll be a very tight round, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it went down to a tiebreak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,011 Posted May 7, 2018 Nawaz: I didn’t realize Cow had her, I thought we both only had Bishop Quinn. Well as stated a meaningless wash as she’s on both teams. I would expect her to perish before June, so we should both get hits. Pratley: ““The cancer team were brilliant and pulled no punches. At best I’ve got a few weeks. You have to play the cards your dealt and I’ve been a lot luckier than most so I can’t complain.” (Apr 27) LaChance: In bad stage 4 shape but maybe I’ve been duped and his chemo is going to keep him afloat for a few months yet. Sounded worse to me, but he has a June 6 fundraiser planned, not that future fundraisers for Brandon Jenkins panned out. Quinn: a wash, he’s on both teams. Probably a mistake for right now by both of us, but the Bishop thing worked for me last month gotta ride that horse! McEwen: 6 months to live in December. This should be her month. Another with a June fundraiser planned though. Hard to pass up age tie break pojnts (21) should she die. Bowlen: OK who do you believe, the renowned sports writer with 3 close family sources says Pat’s circling the drain, or Denver Bronco mgt who immediately refuted the claim as nonsense? Goodall: Assuming a hit, at 104 his age makes him a non-hit in essence. Take what I can get though. Killian: was looking to catch lightning in a bottle a second time ala Brandon Jenkins complications post- heart surgery. Didn’t consider Sean #1 until this blurb about new complications from donated liver popped up. http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/vio-lence-singer-sean-killian-receiving-treatment-for-post-surgical-complications-following-liver-transplant/ Dabney: As stated when I turned in my list “he’s an Oct death but I’ve run out of names”. Manan: Probably an overrated mistake I keep buying into. Cox: I don’t think he’s going to pull through. OTOH his clan don’t seem the type to pull plugs on a comatose person who may be brain dead soon. But has to roll with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
