(Midterms bad, this post late, writer cries.)

Today, the Slamball season starts and in Las Vegas so let me tell you who I will be cheering for. My reasons for my choices are really just home state pride and a mix of hoping some new combinations come up.

In the new teams there are two members from the great state of Oregon and those will be the teams I hope get to get some gold at the end of the season. First, is one of the new teams. Stopper for the Ozone, Vincent Boumann out of McMinnville. 6’9 and 285 he is going to be one of the bigger men in the league and hopefully with the resources, skills soon flourish. The Ozone will be coached by one Trevor Anderson, someone who is unknown to me, but there are reasons people are in the coaches positions. Anderson has to be the name that can send someone to the shadows, because if an Anderson doers not want to be found, they are not being found. Hopefully, this Anderson coaching wants to be found on a championship. In any case the Ozone are my number two team to cheer for because the number one team has part of my color scheme of purple and green and it has a member from Oregon.

Slashers have a 6’3 gunner named Bradley Laubacher, a graduate of the University of Oregon and based out of Bend. Oregonians have the nasty habit of showing some magic when pushed with back to the wall. Laubacher may show some of the magic of the Pacific Northwest. On top of that there is a coach who has done a lot as a player, but not much as a coach. Laubacher can make a lot of headway because the position he is, was the one his coach shared in the first seasons. In any case there is a lot to see here, and I have a feeling this could be very good. Also the purple and red of the slashers would look sick with some dark designs. The artist in me is thrilled to see something like that, because outside of these guys only the Toronto raptors were brave enough to run those colors.

The other teams will be the Gryphons, Wrath, Buzzsaw, and Lava for the new teams and the Mob and Rumble will be returning from the first seasons to make sure people remember not to sleep on some history, or history will be made out of them. Slashers being one of the old and the ozone one of the new means I have my picks to get a little bit of everything, the teams you cheer for are like your favorite foods, sometimes you can try different things. Enjoy the spice of life as you find someone to cheer for, and who would you choose to cheer for? Let me know in the comments and as always

Stay competitive.
