Bottom Feeders 2022-23:

MissThundercat

Are the cis okay?
Miss Thundercat stumbles into the Bottom Feeder office and realizes a raccoon and an opossum are sleeping on the table. Typical.

On her lousy Google Pixel, she sees Mercyhurst and Wisconsin are lousy equally, and after a rousing round of eeny-meeny-miny-mo between the racoon and the opossum, she decides Wisconsin will start the season at 1.

She hopes JJM and Fade will come back and be her right and left hand.
 
Fade is taking this opportunity to announce his retirement from the BFB committee. It's been a good run of coming up with dingy venues, disgusting menus, and in-game hijinks, but I've decided it's time to let it go. I'll leave my smoke signal blanket, carrier pigeons, and rolodex of phone numbers for the worst Food Network personalities with Miss T for safekeeping.

Thank you for your service to the BFB.

Please accept this piece of Fruit Stripe gum as a retired gift.
 
The NoWins mid-season classic will be offshore of Isle Royale.

The Futile Four will be held in the abandoned DeltaPlex in Grand Rapids, MI. With the basketball court in place.
 
The National Park Service is being consulted over the precise location of the NoWiNs. Current sites under consideration are Windigo, Daisy Farm, and the Passage Island & Menagerie Island lighthouses.
 
You let the opposum go? Now you realize why we don't trust the committee with a food budget

I'm on the phone with Episcopalian and Lutheran churches in the Grand Rapids area. They are happily providing 2 week old coffee and equally aged pastries for the Futile Four.
 
After careful consideration, the NoWinS site has been determined. Games will be played at the site of the wreckage of the SS Emperor, a freighter which sank off Canoe Rocks in 1947. The abandoned lifeboat wreckage on shore will serve as the locker room facility. Communication will be provided by a war surplus weather radio transmitter using outdated VHF technology. Teams will each be given a paper map, a half-charged 12 volt battery, and a 40 year old Lowrance system salvaged from a Thunder Bay junkyard to get themselves to the tournament.

Miss Thundercat will observe the action from the deck of the USCGC Spar, the Coast Guard Cutter assigned to western Lake Superior from its port in Duluth.

Miss Thundercat will also be the guest referee for the action. The boys on each team will not only have to play, but must bring the Commish fresh coffee and doughnuts every period of play. Failure to do so results in a 10 minute misconduct.

Dates and times will not be revealed until the teams are informed, which will be 23 hours and 57 minutes before the start of play.

Is scuba gear being supplied for the teams in the event that the lake is not frozen, or, as I assume, will it need to be rented from Duluth?

Not really. We have, however, recruited some drunks from Duluth to help transport. Surprised how many we were able to hire with a 30 pack of Natty Light alone.

The smart teams would go to Thunder Bay and travel across. But we all know that if you are a team in the NoWiNS, you probably aren't.

We found some very old dinghies that need repairs. They've been reserved for transport to the NoWins.

The committee has partnered with the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation, and Parks. Ontario Parks officials will be hiding the dinghies around the greater Thunder Bay area with cryptic clues on how to find them. Each dinghy has a tournament pass attached with an RFID transmitter, and failure to check in at the tournament site with that will result in disciplinary action against the team arriving without it.
