Nov 22 2042: Extra! Russian cell activated in Massachusetts - by Playero71 on December 28th, 2024

After snooping around the alleys of North Adams impersonating a drunken Santa Claus for the past month, Archie Messplot is back in the mix with a spicy scoop in the Walla Walla Bland Gazzete.

Patient investigation allowed "Mythbreaker" Messplot to contact Rich Cockrell, the Trailblazers bit sluggish long-term promise, who handed him his Christmas wish list encoded in cyrillic, signed by a mysterious "Les C."

The old hound sniffed the trail, discovering a suspiciously close relationship between "Comatose" Cockrell, the infamous international agitator Olga Chevinova -responsible for the Red October 22 Riot at the Amesler Campus- and certain benefactor of the brindle basketball team.

We will continue reporting in future editions.

Oct 16 2041: Grandma hooligan takes the networks by storm with the complicity of the North Adams community - by Playero71 on October 24th, 2024

The Hardwood Board of Directors held a hearing this week with representatives of the MCLA, who had to account for the terrible behavior and lack of sportsmanship demonstrated in the match against Eastern Connecticut State.
As attested by the solitary video uploaded to an obscure social network, the accusation falls on the octogenarian Trailblazzers hooligan identified as Peely Cockrell, who hits a poor, bewildered teenage trombone player with her umbrella while "Double Rs" Parrish and Mr. Sparky exchange laughter and jokes about it, inviting the old woman to persist in the devious attack.
At this time, harsh sanctions are expected from President Steve for the Kittens, who not only meow but also scratch.
Whitman College authorities remind their fans to attend the match against MCLA with their health insurance up to date.

Feb 21 2041: In your face, cupcake! - by Playero71 on October 4th, 2024

Devastated. That is the sensation and magnitude that the decision of Daniel Killian -a senior at Walla Walla Union High School- has meant for Walla Walla. Killian, betraying his popular origins and dazzled by the promises of Benjamin Haynes -the sibylline coach of the powerful Washington State- opted to throw himself into Stinkycheese's arms.
It's not that the young promise with his little potential and three stars is a marvel... what has inflamed the northern community is what a substitute social sciences professor at Whitman College described in the Bland Gazette as an "Unforgivable act of neocolonialism carnally associated with the glitter of gold, with the sole desire to corrupt American youth and spitting on our plate. We will not tolerate it."
At this time, a strong concentration of the pastry chefs' guild is expected to demonstrate in the vicinity of the Killian home. Close the windows.

Oct 20 2040: A long, long time ago, the epitaph of a distant reality... or was it just a dream? - by Playero71 on August 30th, 2024

There will be no praises of victory for you, Pioneers. Nor songs of aedos that will rescue you from the perennial forgotten exile to which we have arrived without great sacrifice.
Gone are the beautiful duels, the spring honeys, dances and parties of the old days when MCLA and Whitman used to parade their glory in small town marquees.
Once again the bell has been put on the cat, while coach Larry has Perish stubbornly hugged his flute without managing to awaken passions among the people of that unspeakable community of New England, on which Father Time no longer has mercy. Sad indeed, all dreams ended in WC.

Oct 21 2037: Prayer for MCLA - by Playero71 on March 15th, 2024

The winter night hung over the Blues fans who, stunned, saw their team being beaten by the visit from the east coast. Yes, that unknown minor team of which the Royal Hardwood OCBB Library has almost no record worth including in its pages, except for the eccentricities to which its coaches accustom us.

Anyway... the situation did not look good at all, the poets were loaded with fouls and the scoreboard indicated a disadvantage of 17 points at halftime. "Kitty soup again", more than one dreamer lamented in the stands... but they did not count on the fiery harangue of Mel Brooks, the hilarious coach with 24 years on the team who today holds the reins with a firm hand and warm heart: "Go out on the field and win glory or go home, you dogs!!!"

With 2 minutes left in the game the ruckus band played their fight song as the home side snatched the match!
