SIAP vs TKD – both teams have made it to the Championship game four times. SIAP has two titles, TKD has one. And, they have one previous meeting in the title game. SIAP has never won the title as a wild card, but HAS won in each of the last two election years, while TKD has lost in its previous two trips as the East Division champion. Who will add their name to the PFFL trophy in 2008?
As we reach the conclusion of another year, let me take this opportunity to wish you all a happy and safe holiday week. I hope you all get to spend it with your families and friends.
Merry Christmas!
Championship Matchup
- (3) Tappa Kegga Day vs (8) SIAP > This week’s championship game is a rematch of the PFFL title game from 10 seasons ago. TKD won the 1998 championship over SIAP, 109-78. It is the only other time these two original franchises have met in the postseason. In the overall series, this will be the 16th meeting in a matchup that SIAP leads, 8-7. As division rivals in the East this season, these two teams split their two games. TKD won in week 4, while SIAP won in the regular season finale. This is the fourth championship game appearance for both teams. SIAP won the title in 2000 (as the West champ and 3-seed) and 2004 (as the West champ and 2-seed), but lost in the aforementioned matchup with TKD in 1998. TKD won their only title in 1998 as the 8-seed, and lost in the championship game in their other two East Division winning seasons (1997 and 2005, as the 1 and 3 seed, respectively).
