130 HRD’s Burlesque Brawlers
100 ACRD’s Bombshell Brigade
The Colonel checks in from Marfa regarding the Brawler’s win against a visiting Assassination City team.
The Burlesque Brawlers came from behind Sunday night at Verizon Wireless Theater to win their first bout of the season over the Machete Betties, 73-64. In the first game, the Texas Rollergirls’ Honky Tonk Heartbreakers defeated the home town Bayou City Bosses, 86-49.
The Machete Betties opened up the first half with authority gaining a 17-8 lead after five jams. In the sixth jam, Audiomind scored eight points while Panty Raider (as Viet Thong) was scoring four to narrow the lead down to five points. During the rest of the half, both teams would play strong defense, and the Machete Betties would go into halftime with a 30-26 half. It looked like the short-handed Betties might be able to pull off a surprising victory. (more…)

We’ve been super busy, and haven’t had time for a proper post-April podcast, so this one is going to have to fill in.
I talked to the Colonel briefly, but he didn’t make much of the podcast, only a cameo at the end.

I thought it was interesting, too, that both bouts had 32 jams each.
And The Colonel insists that the after party should be remembered like this:
