October 1st, 5 PM S(F)L time.... here:http://slurl.com/secondlife/SFL%20Headquarters/116/249/24
Be there as the Hurricane Raiders take on the Wicked Texans for some gridiron get some!
They've been planning and practicing all summer, and this is the first time they take the new car out for a spin. This is SL sporting history, so you want to be there. Either Carlito or I will be there covering it... maybe even both of us.
If you'd like to play for the SFL... well, I made a point of taking that SLurl from not only where you can watch this game, but where you can sign up to play or cheer for the SFL. I'm good like that.
Who will win? Your own faithful Sports Editor isn't above wagering on sporting events. However, I never bet on a preseason game in real life. Here's why:
- A coach would be foolish to give away his better game plans to win a meaningless preseason game.
- These games are often used to scope out some of the lesser players as they compete for roster spots.
- The players aren't in midseason form yet.
- A lot of players go at maybe 70% effort, so as not to blow out a knee.
None of that figures into October's Raiders/Texans fracas. For one, the avatars are animated, so no one is getting injured. The coaches will be as new as the players, so they will probably coach harder than a NFL coach would in a preseasongame ("harder" = "more seriously). The rosters, as they stand now, may not be stocked enough to allow the luxury of benching stars.
Most importantly, this is no ordinary preseason game. This is the public debut of the SFL. No one is going to half-step it. Both teams want the W in this game.
And, as your Sports expert, I am obligated to be in mid-season form. Therefore, I give you my prediction on the game.
For some reason, I feel that these will be high-scoring affairs. Using a NFL shootout as a model, let's put a 42-35 final score on the board. Using the fact that I know some of the Raiders people fairly well, let's give them the win.
BUT WAIT... THERE'S MORE!!!!!
