My Hamilton Friends

yell loud and get bawdy

aleks is also there
mills pays the bills
aleks enjoys squares

those are my hamilton guys

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?

Coming into the series, it was definitely Buffalo. That top line is ridiculous, and it's not even their only scorers. Behind them is an entire line of players above 60 points, and two high scoring defensemen. Buffalo's top end is just way more impressive than anything Texas can bring out offensively.

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.

Texas, without a doubt. While you want to win badly when you struggle despite being at the top, it's the team that hasn't had even a taste of success that will want it more. Buffalo knows what it's like to be here, Texas doesn't, and they were never going to waste the opportunity to play as hard as possible.

c. Which of these two teams' brandings do you prefer? Take into account colors, logo, name, location, and anything else you consider relevant.

They're both really solid, but I think I prefer the Renegades. I like cowboys, I like the black and white thematic, I think both of those fit Texas live a glove. If I had to pick one thing though, it's really the color scheme. There are really not many teams that go black and white because they think it's uncreative, but if done right, it looks really cool.

d. Would you rather have to spend a long weekend hanging out in Dallas or Buffalo? What would you do?

I don't want to be too mean to those Buffaloites out there, but anyone who picks Buffalo is simply on crack. What I'd do in Dallas is probably the same as what I'd do anywhere: drink, sightsee, eat as much as I can of whatever their best food is. That's pretty much it.
