(S21) - PT4 - Ultimus Dreamin’

[Memento Mori]

The Myrtle Beach Buccaneers are currently sitting first in the SFC with a 6-4 record. The three other teams in the division are all 5-5, so the Buccs have some work to do both to make the playoffs and to retain the number one seed. Should they do so, they'll begin their playoff campaign against one of their division foes - the Tijuana Luchadores, the Norfolk SeaWolves or the Dallas Birddogs. Myrtle Beach has faced each of these teams once already, beating Norfolk but losing to Tijuana and Dallas. However, in Myrtle Beach we're hoping that our team's superior talent levels - evidenced by our better regular season record so far - combined with the fact we'll likely have home field advantage will be enough to secure the victory come the playoffs.

If we can make it through the SFC title game, we'll be in the Ultimini. There, we'll face the NFC champion. Prior to the season everyone expected last season's winners, the Minnesota Grey Ducks, to make it back to the championship game. Sadly for them, they've started out 3-7 and it looks likely that the 7-3 Kansas City Coyotes will be the team representing the NFC in the Ultimini. The Buccs played the Coyotes in weeks 1 and 8, winning both games. I believe, if we can do what's necessary in the final four regular season games and make the playoffs, we should be the Ultimini favourite. It won't be easy, but we're the best team in the SFC and we've beaten the likely NFC champion twice already.
