#3 of United Furry Football League

Another week of UFFL games, another week with our two favorite die-hard fans of the California Dons.

So yeah, this UFFL project continues with another Wednesday delivery of the sports podcast. Next week will not be a home game for the Dons, so expect something FSPN related for that time.

Casters:

Myron Woods - Husky

Marco Garner - Rabbit

The California Dons is a part of the United Furry Football League. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/uffl


Welcome to Don's Nation; the #1 fan podcast of the California Dons! I'm Marco Garner and in the background... *Woods wooing in the background* is Myron Woods. And we are here to talk about the best team in the UFFL, the California Dons.

Woods - *** In background still* -** The best team in the UFFL! Woo!

Garner - Yeah; anyways, week three has come and gone and this game we got to see quarterback Joe Bowers on the field as they faced Aspen Redfield and the Baltimore Ponies in a east coast versus west coast battle.

Woods - *** background*** - Joe Bowers! He's a superstar! Everyone should love him! Yeah!

Garner - *** shakes his head*** - Myron, can you stop being overly excited and get over here so that we can get this show going?

Woods - Sorry, man, but I am too excited.

Garner - What for? The game didn't end well for us.

Woods - Not that; but the Dons themselves recognized us and gave us a shout out. Marco, they noticed us. Senpai noticed us! WOO!

Garner - *covers his ears* - Gah! Stop it, Myron! But it is true; the public relations director of the California Dons did listen to us and liked what we had in store. So that means that more people will be listening to us. And that also means that we should act a little more mature for these podcasts.

Woods - What do you mean act a little more mature? They liked us because of our outgoing personality. If they wanted mature sports programs, then they can go to FSPN or the local sports radio shows. These people want to hear us raw and uncut!

Garner - I don't know about uncut. I mean we don't want to swear a lot on these shows.

Woods - That's not what I am getting into! We have flair, we have panache, we have the voices that these other shows wish they could have and we need to keep that ball rolling in that direction.

Garner - Great... we'll talk about this later. But for now can we get to the game? It was a quarterback clash between celebrity Joe Bowers and the MVP and rookie of the year Aspen Redfield. And to be honest... neither of the two really showed up to play, especially Bowers. Seems that the movie star mantra continued on the field.

Woods - Have you seen his commercials? He's a natural! You will see him on the big screen soon enough.

Garner - Yes... yes I have seen his commercials. His acting job didn't fare too well as he went 15 for 32 with only 106 yards and one interception; he also forced four turnovers. Now that's a pretty bad game right there.

Woods - It was. But the quarterbuck didn't do much better.

Garner - Quarterbuck?

Woods - Yes! He's a deer... a male deer... and he's a quarterback on the football team. So I gave him the name quarterbuck.

Garner - Myron, you did not invent that name. You took it off tweeter from Coby Carson.

Woods - But you like the name, don't you?

Garner - That's not the point! Anyways, Aspen Redfield did slightly better; going 19 for 32 with 224 yards, one touchdown and one interception. So the offense wasn't there for both teams but the defense and special teams were there and they did most of the work in the game.

Woods - Oh man; the kicker for the Ponies, Virginia Pratt, she is pretty much automatic when it comes to kicking. Two field goals for the game and they were at a good distance.

Garner - Of course, but don't forget about the rest of the defense and special teams. The biggest scores from that game came from the second quarter, where Joe Bowers made quite a few mistakes. On a third and ten, he hikes the ball and is immediately chased by defensive tackle Kim Fletcher who eventually takes him down and drops the ball during the tackle. Fletcher picks up the ball and easily runs it in for the touchdown.

Woods - Bowers! Nooooooooo!

Garner - And it gets worse from there. The following drive, on a third and two on the Baltimore 49 yard line, Bowers snaps the ball and looks deep for Mitch Jefferies. However, when the ball was thrown, Artie Ruckner was at the right spot and leaps for the ball to catch it for an interception and after that the bald eagle was gone running the other way for a pick six.

Woods - I'm sure he had an explanation about why he performed that poorly that game.

Garner - The coach said it was bad play calling. Some of us are betting that he is trying out for a movie role.

Woods - A role that involves him messing up plays? I can't see that happening.

Garner - Well, in a place like this, I wouldn't be surprised. Either way, the coach didn't seem happy with the results and he could bring back out Darnell Paige for a while.

Woods - We were doing quite well with him too. I know those two have been back and forth about starting last season.

Garner - Indeed! Paige had to put up with Bowers in the first couple weeks when the league came back to action. We will definitely see more interaction from the two this season. Moving on, the only score made by the Dons was during the third quarter when Darren Stephens took a 27 yard run in for the touchdown. When the smoke cleared, the Ponies came out on top completely with the final score of 34-7.

Woods - That wasn't a good game at all. A lot of people on the stands were complaining about Bower's miscues. But they did love how the stadium looks.

Garner - Are you on about that again, Myron?

Woods - Marco, dude, I was talking to someone that was in the VIP lounge. They had a buffet full of gourmet food, a pool table, a big screen TV where you can play UFFL 2K16, all of that! They even had ladies serving drinks; and they were only dressed in the team jerseys. Oh, I so want to be in there now.

Garner - *softly* Girls clad in jerseys? I- uh- Jeez, Myron! Can we not think about that now. Besides, we can't even afford that kind of service.

Woods - I know... we are up there in the high bleachers; and those tickets are about $100 each. But at least we can enjoy the tailgate parties out at the parking lot.

Garner - I will give you that. Though getting there is still a pain. We're in Fresno and we leave the house at five in the morning to beat the traffic.

Woods - Which is non-existent. Even at that time we run into a gridlock when we reach the freeway... on a Sunday!

Garner - But to be honest, it is well worth it for die-hard fans like us. Which is also why we have this show out there for the world to hear.

Woods - The world? You mean we're not just broadcasting this in California?

Garner - Not at all, Myron. We have Dons fans all around the country and maybe even around the world. They need their fan coverage too.

Woods - Now that I think about it... Since the Dons themselves noticed us, maybe they can hook us up with VIP passes. I mean DUDE! Free food and lots of girls to look at.

Garner - Are we on about the girls again? Besides, I am sure there is no way that they are going to even think about giving us those tickets. They probably sold out this season once they announced that the stadium was complete. So those chances are very slim.

Woods - Hey, those people can be a no-show. You'll never know...

Garner - Ugh... anyways, I think we need to get back on track. But first we need to take a small break. We will be back with Dons Nation.

Woods - *** background*** Dons Nation! WOOOO!
