6-Pack Fun, Vol.6: Rivalries

Coffee Time
by Carl Coffee

Back in 2011, rivalries in WSEM were prevalent, but in the past two seasons they have died down. It appears that some are being reborn and created for this coming season, but let's look back at my favorite historic rivalries.


6.  Wicked Aces  &  El Diablos
(2013)
This was a quiet rivalry, but in a season where these two teams stood out above the others, it was still a rivalry on the field, nonetheless.


5.  Wicked Aces  &  Punchouts
(2012)
The Aces rarely lose, but the Punchouts had their number: going 3-1 vs. them in the 2012 regular season. If we had a list of biggest disappointments however, their non-played championship series would be #1.


4.  Flying Squirrels  &  DeLoppes
(2011)
When these two teams met in 2011, there seemed to always be something special about the games. Including what has to be the most dramatic best-of-five playoff series to date.


3.  Belgian Wiffles  &  Mattseals
(2012)
These teams just straight up did not like each other. Everything is fine now between the players, but in 2012 you couldn’t say that.


2.  Belgian  &  Squirrels
(2011/12)
Twice these teams met in the #4 vs. #5 playoff matchup and each team won one once. The last day of the season trade of Corbett for Skinner only made this rivalry better.


1.  Westside  &  Git r' Done
(2011)
No one can be surprised that this rivalry gets the top spot. Their facebook battles used to reach 200-300 comments in a matter of a couple hours and on the field it was always intense. Unfortunately for the Warriors though, Git r’ Done always seemed to have the last laugh after the games were played.
