All season, two teams stood head and shoulders above the rest of the NFC: the Dirty Hippies and Hard Targets. They were rewarded with the top two seeds and a first-round bye in the playoffs. After beating the AMMODOGS and Arrogant Americans, respectively, the Hangovers and DARC NARCS took a swing at the Hippies and Targets . . . and missed. Regular Season Result: Week FourBecause the OIL plays a balanced schedule, these teams played each other in the regular season. Finch won that matchup by 14. The teams are largely unchanged since that week four matchup. Since then, Finch lost Stevan Ridley to IR and added Josh Gordon via trade with Duffy. Meanwhile, Trovillo traded away T.Y. Hilton and Devin Hester, promoted Jarvis Landry to WR2, and added Giovani Bernard and Odell Beckham, Jr. Here's how the current Dirty Hippies lineup fared in its week 15 semifinal matchup. Dirty Hippies Semifinal ResultIn one semifinal, the Hangovers' Cinderella season ended when they ran into a buzzsaw otherwise known as the Dirty Hippies. After falling to 2-5, Duffy pulled off some risky trades to shake things up (including trading for Packers QB Aaron Rodgers), and it worked. They won five of their last six regular season games (including a Rivalry Week rout of the Arrogant Americans) and then knocked out the AMMODOGS in the first round of the playoffs. In the week 15 semifinal, Duffy got 24 points from Demariyus Thomas, 18 points from Eddie Lacy, 28 points from late-season pick-up Jeremy Hill, and 23 points from Devin Hester. It should have been enough to seriously challenge the Hippies. But Aaron Rodgers let Duffy down for the first time this season in a shocking loss to the Buffalo Bills (scoring 7.95 points). And Rodgers's and Davante Adams's (1.6 points) disappointing performances doomed the Hangovers in spite of the great outputs by the remainder of the roster. The Hippies, for their part, overcame a disappointing TNF performance from Tre Mason (1.3 points). They got 43 points from Odell Beckham, 20 points from fellow LSU rookie WR Jarvis Landry, 18 points from Roddy White, 28 points from Le'Veon Bell, and 18 points from Rob Gronkowski. The Hippies QB points are not included in their 164-point total, as Jay Cutler plays Monday night. But the Hangovers players are all done. In turn, although they put up a very respectable 147 points, the Hangovers were sent home by a dominant Dirty Hippies team heading to its first OIL Bowl. Hard Targets Semifinal ResultIn the other semifinal, Henderson's even more improbable run ended as his DARC NARCS lost to the number one seed one week after posting his highest score of the season. In the first round of the playoffs, the NARCS upset the Arrogant Americans behind 43 points from Cam Newton, 42 points from Julio Jones, and 30 points from Joique Bell. But that kind of luck is hard to keep going. Two days after leading the NARCS to victory, Cam Newton got into a car accident and was ruled out for the semifinals. Then Julio Jones was ruled out for week 15 after suffering an injury late in the fourth quarter of his game in week 14. And Joique Bell put up a pedestrian 10 points. It wasn't enough.
Henderson also turned to Kendall Wright to pick up the slack for Julio Jones. But Wright, who missed week 14, was again ruled out and Henderson got zero points from a pivotal position. The zero from Wright was matched by Jermaine Gresham, who was an unexpected inactive himself. It wouldn't have mattered though. Not even Henderson's optimal lineup would have won this matchup as Jordan Matthews (who had been hot as of late) scored zero points himself on Sunday Night Football. On top of all that, Henderson replaced Cam Newton with Ryan Fitzpatrick . . . who broke his leg in the first half of Sunday's game. So, all in all, this week was a cavalcade of horrors for the NARCS. With all of their players done with for week 15, they trail the Targets by 40 points with Mark Ingram and Alshon Jeffery yet to play for Finch. A team like Finch's Hard Targets doesn't need any help to beat a team like Henderson's . . . but it got it anyway en route to an easy victory and their first OIL Bowl berth. So, it wasn't how we expected to come to it, but we now have the OIL Bowl we've expected all season. Enjoy. The Liberty/Victory Bowl option has received a simple majority of the votes (15 out of 28). So now the attention turns to whether we'll go with 'Liberty' or 'Victory.' Please vote below. With a majority of the votes recorded, it's clear the top two vote-getters are the SECFOR Bowl and Liberty/Victory Bowl options. So, here is the promised runoff election. Vote below.
As you know, we expanded this season. Initially the new league was simply called the OIL2. But that sounded like a minor league, and that wasn't the case. So we instead incorporated the original OIL and the OIL2 into conferences. Now, we're going to have our own "Super Bowl" pitting the champion of the AFC against the champion of the NFC. That will be in week 17. So what will we call it? Below are some options with explanation. Below that is a poll. Please vote. Voting will end after the week 16 conference championship games (or after we reach 28 total votes). Once we reach 28 votes (or the week 16 deadline), the top two vote-getters will enter into a runoff election (unless the top vote-getter gains a majority of the 28 votes). This means we'll be ordering another trophy. Start considering which of the trophies at Sculpture Alley you'd like, and I'll be brainstorming name ideas for it. We'll choose the trophy soon and ask for everyone to pay their share. Without further adieu, here are your choices for the OIL inter-conference championship game:
It was a crazy week in the NFL and, by extension, the OIL. Here are your conference semifinal matchups. NFCIn the quarterfinals, the DARC NARCS upset #3 Arrogant Americans behind 43 points from Cam Newton, 30 from Joique Bell and 42 points from Julio Jones. He now faces Finch and the #1 Hard Targets, who had a first-round bye. The victory was Henderson's first OIL career playoff win. In the other quarterfinal matchup, #5 Hangovers upset #4 AMMODOGS behind big performances from Aaron Rodgers, Eddie Lacy, and the St. Louis defense. Duffy will next face Trovillo and the #2 Dirty Hippies, who had a first-round bye. AFCThere was only one upset in the AFC, meaning three of four underdogs in the OIL won this week. The #5 Brewmasters upset the #4 Redlegs. Lynn will now face Venable and #1 seed War Pony in the AFC semifinals. In the last quarterfinal matchup, #3 Doughboys stopped the upset trend and defeated the #6 seeded Hooligans. Green will face #2 Hillier in the semifinals in a Second Platoon vs. Second Platoon battle where the winner goes to the Thunder Bowl.
As the regular season ends and the hunt for the Killman Memorial Trophy begins, the franchises that make up the American Conference are catching up to the original OIL. Logos and uniforms are being developed at a rapid pace. Below are the brands for the franchises owned by: Joshua D Lynn; James Peacock; Nick Green; Thomas Hillier; Charles Neely; Walt Musselman; Adam Schuster; new OIL manager Don Roe; Lance Zerger; Commissioner Nick Reed; Mark Fitzgerald; Stephen Brosh; Bryan Nye; and Jimmy Venable.
The regular season is over. It was a big one for the OIL. We expanded into two conferences, published our oral history, and started branding each franchise with professional logos and uniforms. There are 28 franchises in the OklahomIraqis Leagues, but only 12 make the playoffs. Here are your first-round matchups. OIL: National ConferenceIt's wide-open in the original OIL this post-season. Only one playoff team (Arrogant Americans) has won the Harrington Trophy before. The other five would be first-time champions. In fact, no other playoff team has been to the OIL Bowl, including the top two seeds. First-Round Byes: #1 Hard Targets (10-3) and #2 Dirty Hippies (10-3)Quarterfinals: #6 vs. #3 and #5 vs. #4Four teams jump-start the playoffs with the winners facing the Hard Targets or Dirty Hippies. The final playoff spot came down to the wire, and no one knew the lineup until after the Sunday night game.
Henderson's DARC NARCS don't have the most impressive resume, but they finished with a winning season. Had Jessen's DominationStation beaten one more team, they'd be here. But they finished 6-7. So, even though they had the second-most poinst in the OIL going into week 13, they're sitting at home. This is Henderson's first playoff appearance of his OIL career. Meanwhile, Cliburn's Arrogant Americans thought they'd enjoy a first-round bye, but Finch's Hard Targets and Trovillo's Dirty Hippies scored more points than the 'Mericans. Henderson will wear his 8-bit graphic-inspired away uniforms, while Cliburn will wear his blue alternate jersey for the first time this season. Regular Season Result: Week FourIn week four, the 'Mericans used a breakout 30.40-point game from Larry Donnell to overcome a paltry 5.85 points from his QB and 1.70 points from Lesean McCoy and defeat the DARC NARCS. Now Henderson gets an opportunity for revenge. Duffy's Hangovers came from behind during Rivalry Week to beat his arch-rival and claim a playoff spot. And Rogers's AMMODOGS make the playoffs while competing from Afghanistan. Duffy will wear his Green Bay Packers-inspired away uniforms, while Rogers will don his Acme Packers-inspired home alternate uniforms. Duffy won five of his last six games to make the playoffs. The loss? The AMMODOGS in week 12. After winning four straight, the Hangovers were beaten easily by the AMMODOGS, setting up a must-win in Rivalry Week for Duff to make the playoffs. Regular Season Result: Week 12OIL: American ConferenceAs mentioned above, this is the first season of the second OklahomIraqis conference: the American. It's had its bumps along the way, but it's coming together. The six managers in the playoffs are excited to be there. They all have the same goal: win the Thunder Bowl and be the first to hoist the Killman Memorial Trophy. Logos and uniforms aren't ready for all the American franchises yet, but they're on the way. |
