Other than the revealing tube top of the new beer girl, Chad showed the most skin on Wed night for team Wangensteen. Wearing shorts for the game, he tried to intimidate his competitors with his sublime calves. It didn’t work as team McGovern ended up winning 6-5 after 8 ends in a back and forth affair.
New look team Lichty, formerly Mulrooney, hit the ice last night against team Beranek. Barenek was too much for Lichty and his new curlers.
Team Sonnebend won a fast-break style game over Stanek.
Other winners included:
Team Jansen (who was giving up 3 points).
Team Anderson.
Team Lawrence.
Team Kruse.
Good luck to everyone next week!
Good Curling.
League play starts tonight and I’m sure everyone is excited to get started. Since I haven’t talked to any other teams yet, I’ll talk about the McGovern v. Wangsteen matchup on sheet 3.
This should be a pretty close match based on last year’s standings . McGovern finished last year in 6th place over all with a record of 11:6 while Wangsteen finished two spots below with a 9:9 record. Scouting reports indicate that the McGovern rink got some ice time in a few weeks ago. The practice status of team Wangsteen has not been mentioned on Facebook or Twitter, so I’ll classify them as “undetermined”.
Last year’s meeting between Wangsteen and McGovern resulted in a McGovern win. Will there be a repeat tonight? Only time will tell. The important point is that we all get out there and have a good time playing.
Hey fellow Wednesday night Metro League curlers, competition starts next week. I know that everyone is excited to get back on the ice and have another great season.
First order of business: welcome to the new site. Last year, I was goofing around with some different styles and methods of tracking the league, and I think I have a pretty good product now, so I hope you like the look and functionality of thehogline.com. If you have any ideas to make this site better feel free to send me your thoughts through the contact page (once I get it set up).
The idea of this site is to help everyone in the league have a little more fun and get to know each other a little better. I would be happy to set up a page for your team similar to the Team McGovern page above. Just stop by the Add Team page under the Metro League menu and add some information about your team in the form, you can even upload a team logo and pictures if you have some.
Of course, tracking the weekly progress of your team and others in the league is very important to us. You can find everything you need to know over at the League Standings page. There you can look at results from previous weeks or look ahead to upcoming matches by selecting the the week you want to see. You can also look at the full schedule of each team using the team selector.
Stay tuned to watch for new features as I make them available and come back on Thursdays to see how the rankings change. I can tell it’s going to be a great season.
