Bushwackers alive
It’s been no secret that the Bushwackers have been hemorrhaging players for the last several weeks. Super stars such as Shane Howe, Neil Eberle, and Greg Siewers have allegedly left the paintball team. On a squad of 7 guys, the departure of 3 star players is typically the kiss of death. Further, our sources have indicated that the Bushwackers have been on a rough financial footing all season long due to increased costs and sponsorship dollars drying up. Even several of our own staff members concluded that the oldest team in paintball was dead. That was until this showed up in our inbox this morning.
Is this a sign of a new generation of Bushwackers? Will Ron try to recruit his old players or will he build the team with members of the ever expanding pro paintball free agent list. Will the new Bushwacker team be loyal to Ron or will they just be vultures looking for free paintball?

wackers were supposed to have these jerseys at the start of the 09 season. tankd finally gets shit together and produces
Actually at the beginning of the season it was a different jersey made by a different company
yeah it might have took them some time but those are some sick jerseys.
I definitely agree, this has to be one of the best looking jerseys I have seen in a long time.
Ehhh, i saw these awhile back. Somehow, i still think bushwackers are dead.
WOOOOOOOOOW. this is a team jersey i would actually consider buying/wearing.
Here’s what I’ve heard from the remaining guys on the D1 team. “Supposedly, the division 1 team will be filling in the pro spot at vegas, with a few players from Faction.” Will Ron make it happen for sure idk
The division 1 team with Ken, Stinky and Ron is still very much alive.
Does anyone hear that last wheeze?
Running a team becomes quit tiresome after 15-20 years as do reading these posts for 5 minutes. Hats off to Ron for sticking it out hopefully some young blood will show up and have some …cough…loyalty NOT.
Its a shame whats happened to my sport and yes its my sport after 20 years I can call it that wither you like it or not, Ron can as well we paid our dues with blood an cash and i truelly hope this current crop of selfish pinheads wakes up.
Mark. Please think before pointing finger at “selfish pinheads” Ron’s current Pro team has been the most successful Bushwacker team on record and redefined loyalty when they stuck by him for years no matter how they were treated, or how many promises were broken. Running a team for 2 years is tireseome but 20 is legendary and that’s what it is. So don’t bundle the botched job Ron has put Bushwackers in to the team. They have been working on building the best program since day one. Ask anyone who really knows who runs the team and keeps the team making sunday, they won’t answer Ron. Maybe you are referencing past team members or experiences, but the young blood that Ron has had have carried the team, the man himself may have just lost the love.
Ron Hasn’t really been running the pro team for the last two years, and especially last season (thats why the pro team is based out of nor cal now. IF Ron takes his team back and starts running things again with the guys he knows he can trust, than the team can make a comeback. If he has really washed his hands of the pro team than it probably will die.
