Quote:4. Written, 3 TPE

Write a sonnet about an SHL-related topic. Be sure to follow the proper ABAB-CDCD-EFEF-GG rhyme structure or I'm gonna track you down and give you a failing grade.

Hark, the renegades come!
Through dust and dirt and whirling fury,
On horseback-- riders sound their guns,
The buffalo must hurry.

Through metal clack and pounding feet,
It's hard to see or hear.
But muzzle flashes crack and meet,
Their targets break in fear.

'Midst whoops and hollers loud
The renegades close in.
When head of herd collapses down,
The renegades will win.

SHL, thy time has come, the Texas reign begins.
On ice, or sand, or far away, your teams will meet their end.

Quote:12. Written, up to 4 TPE - Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.
a. Which of these teams has stronger offensive firepower?
b. This is Texas’s first cup appearance since winning it in S36, while Buffalo is recovering from 2 recent final losses to Hamilton. Which team will have a bigger chip on their shoulder entering the finals.
c. Which of these two teams' brandings do you prefer? Take into account colors, logo, name, location, and anything else you consider relevant.
d. Would you rather have to spend a long weekend hanging out in Dallas or Buffalo? What would you do?

a) I don't think it's a stretch to say that Buffalo probably has the bigger offensive threats. Texas' biggest selling point was it's offensive depth, not necessarily any 2k+ plus forwards that can take over a game, but wave after wave of 1600~ guys that can are relentless. I think if any team matches Texas on that depth it's Buffalo. They're a deep team that also has that high end talent.

b) I'm biased, but I think Texas wants it more. Buffalo won what, three seasons ago? Maybe four? Sure they've lost a couple to Hamilton, but this isn't Hamilton. I think they'd have a lot to prove going up against HAM again, but this time it's Texas. I'm sure they still want to win, but they won't have the fire that they'd have at a chance to dunk on Hamilton. Texas wants this bad. It's been too long.

c) Again, very biased, but I'll go Texas. I really like the sleekness and the simplicity of both teams, but something about the green and gold in Buffalo doesn't do it for me. I also really want to knock Texas for its abysmal location, but perhaps the only place I'd rather not be than Texas is Buffalo, so they even lose out on that end for me.

d) Dallas, hands down. What the hell does Buffalo have to do? Cruise around industrial parks and strip malls? Eat wings? I like wings but you can get those anywhere. At least in Dallas I could go get BBQ and see a desert for the first time. Maybe get a picture with a really tall cactus? What more can you ask for!
