New Record Broken The Bombers record in "game with most completions" from the Blonde Bombers - Soul Harvesters (SquigBowl 5, SquigBowl 5) did not survive the first round of the new season. In Blonde Bombers - Goose Riders (Season 6, Round 1) the Bombers once more managed an amazing eight completions (in itself enough to put the game on the top three list of amount of completions made) but this time their opponents were also happy to make passes, adding five completions of their own to the sum.
So the new record is a whopping THIRTEEN completed passes in a single game. A result that could only have happened thanks to instances such as when the Bombers passed the ball from their endzone and halfway up the Riders side, only to have the receiver blitzed by some Underworld Heroplay, the ball swiftly moved and passed halfway down the Bomber half.. only to once more be blitzed loose and passed up again.
Basically both teams played it fast and loose, only the Bombers had the advantage in speed which did a lot of difference. Match report to follow. |

Second lost report After a long delay, (long enough that the match is gone from the sidebar) the match report for Blonde Bombers - Soul Harvesters (SquigBowl 5, SquigBowl 5) is now done, and goes as follows.
---
Squigbowl matches with the Bombers have so far always been torrid affairs. Last time, Blonde Bombers - Children of the Corn (SquigBowl 4, SquigBowl 4) the Bombers aimed at getting their score in the record book, but failed when a fireball swept three players off the pitch and cause a turnover. This time no wizards were involved, and Soul Harvesters were considerably faster than Children of the Corn, so instead of a near-constant rush against a single endzone the game became a full-scale shootout.
The bombers started off early by using some weather magic to turn the pitch soggy and soft, to the effect that the coach lost two coins in the muddy ground before calling the Harversters as the winners of the toss. The Harvesters elected to receive, and the Bombers tried some new setup which turned out to mean the wrong player got to kick, and it went out of bounds. This led to the blitz against the usual ballcarriers being quite ineffectual as the ball was touchbacked to  Jack Wolfskin  who swiftly ran down the first goal of the match.
Disappointed with the soggy ground which would cause less casualties, the Harvesters used a spell of their own on the already unstable weather and managed to summon a blizzard to freeze the pitch back to normal firmness. Reduced visibility would also limit the Bombers to short passes, something they would compensate for by throwing more of them. A lot more. In fact they would throw so many completions that they singlehandedly beat the old record of seven completions (4-3) in one game (Holy Sisters of Thyr - Puff Puff Pass (Season 2, round 6)). More on that later.
The first pass, however, failed, and spilled the squig to the ground after some advances down the pitch to the right had been made. The Harvesters quickly swooped around the Bomber screen to threaten the ball, but the Bombers rallied nicely and after some swift moves Torya Anewone managed to have and pass the squig to Hanna Solo who had moved up to wait in the endzone.
Meanwhile the fans in the stands had taken to throwing snowballs at each others to keep themselves warm (and a fire was being built in the Harvesters dugout to try to thaw out Alfred Bernhard who would spend several more drives in a KO state. At the kickoff the fans started pelting the players with snowballs for fun, and one enterprising fan got the idea to add a rock to a snowball hitting Lil' Liz
In the flurry of action that followed, the Harvesters Jack Wolfskin scored another lightning quick touchdown, the details of which eludes me, meaning it was 2-1 at turn 5/4, halfway down the first half. A lightning bolt on Hanna Solo slowed down the next Bomber score, but couldn't prevent it entirely and just as the whistle blew to end the first half Vicious Virgin made it 2-2, with the squig having been suspiciously quiescent all the time.

For the second half, it seems as if the Harvester had thawed the squig along with their zombie, because it was considerably more lively this time. The Bombers still managed a trademark offense, even if they had to regather an escaped squig, but the Harvester offense nearly went completely nutsack as the squig escaped just when Lich Tremulus was supposed to walk in the score. It took valuable time to regather and in the end emerging star Javeed had to step in and save his team by equalizing to 3-3.
With the Bombers once more receiving and the clock on short time the Harvesters realized they had to pull out all the stops to even manage a draw, and they were very close to succeeding. Still, "close but no cigar" is how the saying goes, and a blitz to make some vital room, followed by a handoff to Rosalie Ann who quickly rushed up and quickpassed to Hanna Solo who got loose from her marker to score, the latter parts all happening so quickly that the squig didn't even have to react, made it 4-3 and left the Harvesters with only just enough time to add a completion of their own to the new league record of nine completions (8-1) in a single game. |

Wipeout Or that is what the Bombers would have preferred that the game of Blonde Bombers - Soul Harvesters (SquigBowl 5, SquigBowl 5) have been. Lacking the ability to vanquish the necromancer team, the Bombers will have to be satisfied with having managed to defeat the team in the rematch, to have been part of a game that tied the previous record of amount of touchdowns made in a single game (nicely matching their new award of "Scorer of Touchdowns, Season 5") and singlehandedly obliterating the previous record of amount of completed passes in a single game. (And the Harvester pass in T16 makes the new record even harder to beat for would-be contenders.) |

Thrower Trivia An interesting tidbit about the Blonde Bombers is that they were originally funded by the parents of Marjorie and Rosalie Ann. Seeing their identical twin daughters being much too dependant upon each others and worrying that this could lead to bad things, they sponsored a team for their daughters, knowing fully well that two throwers could not reasonably share a single ball.
(This was originally intended as an addition to the team description, but it turned out that there is a 550 letter limit there) |

Clash of the Journeymen FFS vs Blonde Bombers sees journeymen in large enough numbers to form their own team. (Or nearly so.)
Six journeymen for FFS and four more on the Bombers makes ten, one short for a legal Blood Bowl team. |

The Lost Report The game between the Blonde Bombers and Coulophobia had no report added to it when it appeared in the sidebar, but this omission has now been corrected with the following report:
When the game was prepared, tid(kil) was called Killer Clowns, but apparently this name was much too violent for the ogres, who played the entire match wearing soft and fluffy gloves. At least that is the only possible explanation for an ogre team loosing the casualty game with a wood elf team (draw 3-3 on casualties, but the elves scored the only kill)
The first half saw the Clowns as recievers, slowly grinding the ball across the pitch and looking set for a touchdown when lightning struck and downed the ogre. A quick pass by Leapin' Liz saw the ball in the hands of journeyman Pretty Ballsy who settled for a slow jog to the first touchdown.
Most of the second half saw confused ogres milling around and wondering what had happened, and if more lightning was to be expected, but the equally surprised Bombers failed to capitalize on this by failing a pass and later failing to perform a block when having major superiority over the single ogre being in the way of a second touchdown.
And then the ogres simply rolled over the Bombers and Button "IronO" could trundle over the touchdown line uninterrupted for the equalizing touchdown.
The game ended a 1-1 draw. |

We are here! As newcomers to the wonderfully violent world of Blood Bowl, we hope to be able to measure up against the experienced teams of the opposition and score at least one touchdown during the season. (And not suffer too many casualties.) |
