Now that the rosters are all in, we have a much more clear picture of the league in which the Hooligans will compete. There will be 6 teams in the league this year, separated into 2 divisions - PC and Mac. The PC Division will consist of The "A", Dream Team Plus Krysiak, and No Name. Your Pigskin Hooligans will compete in the Mac Division, along with I Love It When They Call Us Big Poppa and Falcons N' Stuff. Let's take a closer look at each of these teams:
PC Division Dream Team Plus Krysiak Tom Sperry (captain) Justin Litzner Zeb Hancock Ryan Neu Robbie Lindley Zach Paustian Kevin Krysiak Ashley Chang Erin Dirobbio Analysis: The Hooligans' new rival team, last year's defending champions return most of their roster. Tom Sperry's squad returns 2010 All-Star selection Justin Litzner and a team loaded with speed and athleticism all around. 2009 speedster Zeb Hancock returns to the franchise after a year away from CUAA, adding another weapon. After the departure of Danielle Guss and Ashley Hart in the off-season the team brought in softball duo Ashley Chang and Erin Dirobbio to replace them as their girls. No Name Alex Sypniewski (captain) Aaron Shook Jack Scheel Matt St. Kitts Kyle Adoranti Evan Novak Garrett Keeler Nick Roskelly Dana Ford Kara Fox Analysis: The second team comprised of primarily baseball players will also be competing in the PC Division. Alex Sypniewski's team looks to have height all around with a number of players over 6 feet tall. Past potential Hooligan recruit Garrett Keeler brings QB experience from his 2009 playing days on Zeb Hancock's Shake N' Bake squad. The team will have Dana Ford and Kara Fox from the softball team as their girls. Many of these players will be making their flag football debut. The "A" Team Ryan Scott (captain) Brad Kindred Chandler Sidwell Chase Freeman Jared Janssen Tyler Holloway Adrienne Kanitz Ryne Foster Ashley Hart Danielle Guss Analysis: The final team in the PC division is also loaded with baseball players. Ryan Scott leads a team with plenty of height headed by 6' 4" pitcher Tyler Holloway. The team will go with a trio of volleyball girls, as past champions Ashley Hart and Danielle Guss will bring their experience along with newcomer Adrienne Kanitz. Many of this team's players will be playing their first season of intramural flag football, so we'll have to see how they adjust to the pace of the game. Mac Division Pigskin Hooligans Mike Russell (captain) Zach Johnston Zach Milner Ethan Anderson Eric Koester Robert Myers Ali Miller Josh Ulm Mary Kreutzkamp Cody Cotner Betty Budd Analysis: You're probably already familiar with this year's Pigskin Hooligans squad. Captain Mike Russell returns for a 6th year to lead his team to another shot at their first title. The team brings back 4 returners overall, that being 2010 Most Improved Player Russell, 2010 MVP Zach Johnston, the speedy and dangerous Zach Milner, and 2010 Breakout Player of the Year Josh Ulm. Cody Cotner and Ethan Anderson will bring a "professional" touch as the team's 2 collegiate players, while new signees Robert Myers and Eric Koester also possess great athleticism. The team will field a solid group of all new girls in Ali Miller, Betty Budd, and Mary Kreutzkamp. Falcons N' Stuff Jay Krause (captain) Tyler Cronkight Justin Schultz Pat Gates Leigh McRobbie Kelsie Kaiser Erika Eneix Nick Lyscas Kyle Winningham Cory Briggs Analysis: Jay Krause leads a group comprised primarily of soccer players onto the flag football field this season. The soccer component of the team brings back memories of the old Gamecocks team that won 3 straight titles from 2006-2008. Justin Schultz brings many years of playing experience including a background on the Gamecocks' 2008 title squad. The team's girls will be soccer duo Kelsie Kaiser and Erika Eneix as well as cross country runner Leigh McRobbie. I Love It When They Call Us Big Poppa West Cunningham (captain) Karl Koenig Allie Grafe Martell Buchanan Paul Neumeyer Jim Abrams Brandon Head Adam Rutz Caleb Mims Hannah Genig Analysis: West Cunningham's experienced team rounds out the Mac division. With the absence of a cross-country/track oriented team West was able to pick up speedster seniors Martell Buchanan and Jim Abrams. Adam Rutz brings many years of playing experience as well. They are also the only team besides the Hooligans to use a collegiate football player in Caleb Mims. The team's girls will be Hannah Genig and Allie Grafe. This should be an exciting year for the Hooligans and we're excited to see how the season unfolds! ROLL HOOLIGANS!
