The Loaf
How it all went down
LOAF'S LOAFS came about as its founder/creator was eating a large, slightly burnt, and extremely tasty sandwich in his dorm room during his senior year of college. Upon completion of the sandwich, he initially wanted to buy his own team in Italy's Lega Pro Prima Divisione from his savings mowing lawns during the summer, but figured HT would be a good, slightly less risky indicator as to weather he could do it in real life, too

In its four seasons, it has hosted 17 concerts, including a 3-day weekend sellout by Billy Joel and an "absolutely epic, brah" concert by The Insane Clown Posse, as quoted by lead singer "Shaggy 2 Dope."

The Derby
Every team needs a rival, but some teams simply take it too far.

Season Breakdowns
Season 43
| Season | League | US Open Cup | Trophies | Top goalscorer | Goals |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 43 | 4th in VI.766 | 1st round | none | Ryan Urner | 8 |
Season 43 started out "with a bang", as quoted by first-ever team captain/raging alcoholic Lee Ernest. I don't think he was referring to the actual soccer season.
The team battled with injuries and shared women as conflict swept through the locker room quicker than the team's rare strand of herpes. The "C" was stripped from Goalkeeper Ernest and given to Terencjusz "Terrence" Myszko, who served as captain for next 2 seasons.
The team finished a morbid but eager 4th place, with an aggregate of +22 goals and 23 points, but a disappointing 2nd leg loss in "The Derby" as LL got mopped up and swatted away by cross-town rivals, Battle Toads FC.
Season 44
| Season | League | US Open Cup | Trophies | Top goalscorer | Goals |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 44 | 3rd in VI.766 | 2nd round | none | Ryan Urner | 16 |
LL added key young components to its midfield as well as a new coach in Swiss (cheese) phenom Tom Frisch.
Absolute mayhem swept the streets of LOAFVILLE, PA as the team took the 1st round of the US Open Cup in stunning yet controversial fashion. In the 27' against Bluesters United, a streaker was seen running across the field, but refs refused to blow the whistle. Rafa Aranda took advantage of this mishap and netted a goal to go up 3-0, which was even too big for LL to blow.
A modest 3rd place, 31 point finish was in store for season 44, again splitting against rival BTFC, but winning its last 2 games against BTFC and perennial league VI giant/assgoblin UM Terps.
What would 45 have in store for the Loaf...
Season 45
| Season | League | US Open Cup | Trophies | Top goalscorer | Goals |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 45 | 2nd in VI.766 | 1st round | none | Ryan Urner/Niklas Koch | 16 |
Season 45 started in the shitter and ended...in the shitter. The team cruised most of the season, taking the all-important 1-2 matchup at UM Terps and entering the second half of the season ready to host the same team. The manager, unfortunately, forgot to show up because he entered a bar just 3 hours prior to gametime and did not come out until a week later.
The team dropped the ever-decisive match, and therefore finished the season in a tie for first with UM Terps, but well behind in aggregate. Another season was yet in store for LL in this shitter of USA.
Season 46
| Season | League | US Open Cup | Trophies | Top goalscorer | Goals |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 46 | 1nd in VI.766 | 2nd round |   |
Niklas Koch | 21 |
During the offseason, Middy great Mikael Ulstrap was sold off for more than $2 million to make way for the transfers of Peer Hansen and Edgar Engelen, 2 dominant young defenders who would go on to have shut down seasons, allowing a total of 6 goals (0 at home).
FOCUS, preached Coach Frisch at the beginning of the season, and focus they did for 14 straight weeks. The table had been ran. LL pulled off the undefeated season. Aside from a 3-2 narrow victory in week 1, no team had come within 3 goals of defeating the series VI powerhouse.
With an aggregate of +81, the team was directly promoted to series V.54, riding on the coattails of IMs Gualtiero Moneta, Johnny Visentin, and young Italian phenom Guido Avisi.
Season 47
| Season | League | US Open Cup | Trophies | Top goalscorer | Goals |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 47 | V.54 | 3rd Round | None | Ryan Urner/Thibaud Lucas | 3 |
The Yeast Army multiplied like bunnies during the offseason. After a 1st round win over a robot, LL management brought in 19 year old [Russ Fontaine] to main the gate, a position LL lacked since...the beginning of time.
In its first contest ever in series V, LL took down other direct promotion opponent, Gate 13, in a 2-0 hard-fought away match.
The team set another franchise milestone on November 10th, 2011 with a 1-0 (Hansen 76') victory at The Bakery against Terabytes, advancing to the 3rd round of the US Open Cup for the first time ever.
On the weekend of week 2, LL's usual intra-team drama began. 19 year-old surfing entrepreneur Mikey Balsiger failed to throw out a used happy tissue and accidentally left it in front of Rafa Aranda's locker. This was seen by the team as a hate crime, and the team broke out into a fight; minorities vs. white people.
After a week 2 win over yet another first-time series V team, LL improved to 2-0 on the season, shattering franchise records for consecutive wins as well as national rank, as seen below.
In the final game of the season, in front of a sold out crowd at the Bakery, song writer/singer/international hunk Mike Posner performed his new single "Gettin' High at The Bakery" during the halftime spectacle. The team fought on unsuccessfully, losing 0-1 to drop to 4th place overall in their inaugural season in Series V.
Season 48
| Season | League | US Open Cup | Trophies | Top goalscorer | Goals |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 48 | season in progress V.54 | in progress | in progress | in progress | in progress |
Following a week 2 win over Jerkin It F.C., LL peaked at its highest ranking ever (950), as well as reaching the most successful ranking of any team started in week 1 of season 43.
