UWFFL Division II National Championship - Anchorage vs Florida

Well after a one week delay due to weather-related issues, the excruciatingly long UWFFL schedule is finally coming to and end.  Our final (official) game of the year (not counting a few more weeks of international play which will culminate in the World Bowl) is this week's UWFFL BCS National Championship Game presented by Vicks NyQuil in Pasadena, California which will pit the #1 Florida Geckos from the Eastern Association, who finished the season 14-2 overall, against the #2 Anchorage Orcas, who went 17-2-1 out of the Pacific Coast Conference.

The winner of this game will receive the final promotion into the UWFFL's top tier this fall.

Both teams have stayed remarkable true to their uniform concepts during their seasons - and why wouldn't you when you've had the success they've had.  The Geckos had added a patch to their uniforms with their team initials, "FG" which was an alternate patch for their franchise in the 1960s and 1970s, but which only gets worn in postseason and Championship Games nowadays, and both teams are wearing the National Championship game patch.

Good luck to both teams and we'll see you in a few weeks for the World Bowl, plus who knows what UWFFL-related shenanigans may be in store for us during the off-season!
