This Wednesday six teams will face off to decide the champions of the Winter II 2008 season at the Corvallis Sports Park. Championship night at the Sports Park is always an exciting evening. Here is a video clip from last seasons championship night. Below are my predictions for each match.

Coed Competitive (7:30 PM)
Crown Royals (7-1) vs. Rabbits (5-3)
This is a rematch of last seasons final in which I incorrectly predicted that Crown Royal would win. The Rabbits have lost twice already to Crown Royal and I am predicting a third win and championship for Crown Royals. The Rabbits have lost a couple of players to injury that will hurt them. This game still will be a battle though. Its going to look really bad if I get this one wrong twice in a row.

Men's Competitive (8:25 PM)
Optimators (8-0) vs. Tigers (7-1) or Right About Meow (7-1)
The Optimators will either play the Tigers or Right About Meow depending on the result of the Tigers match on Tuesday. The Tigers need to win their last match by four goals to advance. I predict that they will do that. The Optimators are undefeated this season but they have not faced the Tigers. Its a match up of the team that should have signed up for premier versus the team that has already signed up for premier next season. If Optimators win they just might get moved up. I'm predicting the Tigers in a gritty game.

Men's Premier (9:20 PM)
Wrecked-Em (7-0) vs. Minute Men (5-2)
This is the main event. Wrecked-Em fields the former OSU keeper and a four year starter. But their whole team is strong. Some of these young players could help the OSU men's team. Last season Wrecked-Em trounced Bruno for the championship win. The Minute Men also field a former OSU player but their strength comes from a couple of strong individual talents. There are sure to be some very dynamic goals in this match. I'm going with Wrecked-Em based on a better all-around team approach. These guys play very well for a relatively young and new team.
