The Texas Gunslinger's football team (2013 yearbook)


                                         "Slappy" Mcgee with a cheerleader

A moment that will live on in Gunslinger's history forever.  The 'Slinger's had just taken their fifth OWFL (Old West Football Leaugue) Championship and decided to celebrate in town. Slappy, the team's star quarterback,  had a little too much to drink and started getting fresh with one of the cheerleaders (Patsy Purdy) and before anyone knew what was happening, he had taken her across his knee and was spanking her on the bottom with a small metal shovel.

The next day Slappy claimed he didn't remember any of it.






                                    Willy "The wolf" Dillard


One of the best linebackers in OWFL history, Dillard is known for his ability to "sneak" his way through an offensive line and sack quarterbacks. When asked what the trick to developing such a skill is, Dillard replied: "I practice a lot with a flock of sheep. I move nice and slow and quiet so they don't get spooked, then when I get to the middle of the flock, I begin using the sheep for tackling dummies."                      


               

                                  Vivian Van de Horne

Vivian is the head cheerleader for the Gunslingers although rumor has it she won't be coming back again next season, per management. According to one of the other cheerleaders who wished to remain anonymous, "The woman is an absolute witch. None of us can stand her."


               


                            Henry "the Vampire" Hodgkins

An all star defensive lineman for the Slingers, Henry "the Vampire" is feared throughout the league for his unique style of aggressive defense. The league commissioner decided the championship would be Henry's last game. When asked why, he had this to say: "We're literally running out of players". Henry's presence on the team will surely be missed, as he all but guaranteed victory for the Slingers each and every Sunday.


                                  



                     Mike "The Maniac" McLellan

Mike is considered one of the better offensive tackles in the league. Here we see Mike at a practice session warding off team mate Henry "the Vampire" Hodgkins  with his gun drawn. Henry had managed to begin biting Mike on the shoulder and had made several puncture wounds by the time Mike got his gun out.


                       

                                  George "Big Foot" Bickford

The Slingers got another solid season from their veteran noseguard, "Big Foot" Bickford. Bickford amassed a phenomenal 45 sacks, 253 tackles, and 9 decapitations during the 16 game season. The only problem the team has had with Bickford was keeping him awake while the offense was on the field.



                         

                                                                 "Patch" Wilson

Patch is a veteran wide receiver for the Slingers, and a vital part of the offense. No one is really sure what Patch's real first name is, including Patch, because of all the trauma to the head he's endured from years of running crossing over the middle patterns and getting creamed by opponents deep safeties. But what he's missing in cerebral functioning he more than makes up for with speed. The only downside is that team mates have to frequently guide him to run toward the correct end zone after catching the ball.

More to come......
