FFLUS RIVALRIES
In the 2024 offseason, our league officially sanctioned several rivalry matchups, some within divisions and others across divisions. The historical significance of each rivalry will be documented here.
​
Intra-divisional matchups will take place biannually, ensuring they occur at least twice every year.
​
Certain inter-divisional rivalries may not happen annually, as the league's inter-division matchups rotate on a yearly basis.
​
It's important to note that postseason rivalry matchups are included in this documentation, with the exception of Unholy Bowl matchups, which have a separate record. While Unholy Bowl encounters impact the overall head-to-head records, they are NOT considered in the tally for Rivalry Badges.
1432 Trap Battle
It's time for the legendary 1432 Trap Battle between Jack Howard's Thomasville Shockers and Hunter James' Carrollton Ditch Chickens!
​
Jack and Hunter were once roommates during their college days at the University of West Georgia. Their apartment, number 1432, was more than just a living space—it was the infamous Trap House, where debauchery reigned supreme and friendships were forged in the crucible of chaos.
This rivalry matchup, named after their beloved apartment, is steeped in history. It's where Jack's pet duckling Donny waddled into their lives, earning a place of honor on their badge. And it's where many of the relationships in their fantasy football league began.
​
Now, as adversaries on the fantasy gridiron, Jack and Hunter bring all that history and camaraderie to the forefront. But make no mistake, this isn't just about touchdowns, sacks, and field goals. It's about pride, glory, and the sweet taste of victory—or the bitter sting of defeat.
​
So buckle up, folks, because the 1432 Trap Battle promises to be a showdown unlike any other in the Shirts Division!

​
The Golden Pickle Rivalry
Strap yourselves in as we witness the battle between the Duval Dealers and the Gwinnett County Girthy Goobers.
​
Picture this: Parker Woodworth, the self-proclaimed kingpin of chaos, slinging insults like confetti at a New Year's Eve party. He's the kind of guy who could start an argument in an empty room. And Charlie Call, manager of the Girthy Goobers, well, let's just say he's had more than his fair share of verbal jabs from Parker.
​
Legend has it that it all began when Parker, in a fit of creative insult crafting, dubbed Charlie a "Pickle Ticklin' Weasel." Now, whether Charlie actually tickles pickles in his spare time or not, we may never know. But what we do know is that this insult became the basis of many a joke, and now the moniker of a rivalry so fiery, it could roast marshmallows at a thousand paces.
​
Both managers find themselves duking it out in the Skins Division, where the competition is as fierce as a rabid honey badger. And let's be real here, folks, these two aren't just playing for bragging rights—they're playing for the coveted Golden Pickle of the Weasels, a symbol of dominance, superiority, and maybe just a pinch of pettiness.

​
Now, these two managers might've blended into the culture back at the Creek like a pair of vanilla beans in a sea of dark roast, but let's not sugarcoat it – they're as savage as a pack of hungry hyenas when it comes to fantasy football.
​
Expect some downright filthy trash talk, gutter-level mind games, and maybe even a few dirty tricks as these two teams duke it out for dominance in this Skins Division clash.

The Phoenix Bowl
Gather 'round, fellow fantasy football fiends, for The Phoenix Bowl! On one end of the field, we have Sawyer Woodworth's Woodstock Woollies, formerly Logan Hilton's Dalton Doobies, a team so consistently abysmal they made losing look like an art form.
