Submitted by Jason Dean on Mon, 2008-05-12 12:00. Sports | Mad Rollin Dolls|
The first match featured the Vaudeville Vixens against the Unholy Rollers in the Grudge Match. Both teams progressed significantly this season, but found themselves on the undercard again. Image from Chris Norris, see more here. The match started slow, as bodies covered the floor repeatedly in the first half. Scoring was minimal early as the teams found their groove. As the half ended, the Vixens lead 40-35. Click here to read more. |

In this special edition of the Dane101 semi-weekly podcast we sit down with Mad Rollin Dolls announcers Bob Noxious and Baam Baam. Baam and Bob have been with the league since the inception so they have had a front row seat to the Dolls through all of their growing pains. In this 15 minute segment we discuss the change in derby capacity, Wisconsin as a derby state, stand out skaters of the year, and what it means to be a male announcer in a female derby world.

Mad Rollin' Dolls Profiles: Quad Squad Captain Joan of Anarchy
Submitted by Schabow on Fri, 2008-04-11 10:00. Sports | Mad Rollin Dolls|
The Quad Squad isn't flashy, but they know how to set up blocks and how to read each other well, so what they lack in finesse, they make up with in pure strength and timing. It was meant as a compliment (and not a backhanded one either), and in the back of my mind, I always kind of wished I would have written a bit differently as I didn't want the team to take it the wrong way. Luckily, when contacting Joan of Anarchy about this interview, she mentioned this to me: I thought you might like to know that Quad Squad really enjoyed your description of our team in the Jan bout article. Thanks to you, we've gained a new slogan for season 4: "we may not be flashy, but we get the job done." Awesome. I'm glad I could help. Click here to read more. |

Submitted by Sarah on Mon, 2008-03-24 11:13. Sports | Mad Rollin Dolls|
The first half of the Quad Squad vs Vaudeville Vixens Darling Nicki pulls off 10 points for the Vixens in jam 2, Stitch hits the crowd hard-- announcer Val Capone mics "Life is hard. Roller derby is harder." Harlot penalties out in jam 5 allowing Lil Miss jam control for the Quad Squad and 5 points evening out the score-- which stays close all half closing at QS:39, VV:43.

Upset season continues for Mad Rollin Dolls as the Unhollies top the Vixens; Quads zap the Res Dolls
Submitted by Schabow on Mon, 2008-02-25 11:00. Sports | Mad Rollin Dolls|
The first bout started with The Vaudeville Vixens (fresh off their surprise win over The Reservoir Dolls) facing up against The Unholy Rollers (a team that has not won a single game since season 2). On our Dane101 podcast last week, we jokingly discussed sponsoring The Unholy Rollers since we all have friends on the team. Jason Dean went as far as to predict a win this weekend. Well, Jason must have known something I didn't because The Rollers finally won a game. Click here to read more. |

The Mad Rollin' Dolls season is underway and this second bout brought in another sell-out crowd. This month's bouts were the Reservoir Dolls vs the Quad Squad and the Unholy Rollers vs the Vaudeville Vixens. Dane101 photographer Chris Norris (that's me) was there. I believe a full writeup will be coming soon. |
Mad Rollin Dolls Profiles: Reservoir Dolls Captain Mouse
Submitted by Schabow on Fri, 2008-02-22 11:30. Sports | Mad Rollin Dolls|
The first time I ever saw a bout, two players immediately stood out for me: Mouse and Crackerjack. Not only were they on the same team and knew how to fire up the crowd, they also played the same position as jammers and both had this undeniable flare and grace about them while gliding around all the other players. It was one of the reasons I came back to see another bout and one of the reasons I still do. Hell, as a sports fan, they're just fun to watch. Click here to read more. |
Mad Rollin' Dolls kick off season four with a major upset
Submitted by Schabow on Sun, 2008-01-27 17:08. Photos | Sports | Mad Rollin Dolls|
Knowing the roller derby bouts usually start later than planned, I arrived around 7:15 p.m. bypassing the line that was still growing outside. I immediately saw a few friends and played catch up with them before the beginning of the bout, which finally started at 7:35 p.m. And man, did it start with a bang. The first game was The Vaudeville Vixens vs. The Reservoir Dolls. Now, anyone that has attended a few bouts knows that The Reservoir Dolls is the team to beat. They have the flashy star players like Mouse and Crackerjack. They win all the time. They showboat. They expect glory. The Dolls are kind of like the Dallas Cowboys in the 90's or the New York Yankees anytime in their existence, and that is why I must always root against them. In fact, if this bout was covered by ESPN, sports analysts would insipidly describe this match-up as a showdown between "David and Goliath" or "Walmart and the local mom and pop store" or "Knight Rider and Herbie" or "insert big mean thing vs small innocent thing here".

Mad Rollin Dolls Profiles: Unholy Rollers Captain Wildberry Punch

Now, a few years later, Wild Berry Punch is a heavy hitter (in more ways than one) within the league. She is heading up committees, making important decisions, while at the same time performing the tasks of being a team captain for The Unholy Rollers. I recently sat down with Wild Berry Punch, via email, and asked her a few questions. Click here to read more. |
Mad Rollin Dolls Profiles: Vaudeville Vixens Captain Sour Kraut

Roughly three or four years ago a friend of mine repeatedly tried convincing me to attend a roller derby bout which occurred on Sunday nights at the time. I must admit, I was reluctant and skeptical and continually refused to go. My friend's fanaticism with wrestling didn't much help convince me to attend either. All I could picture were those cheesy, carefully choreographed roller derby TV shows that would air on Saturday afternoons in the 70's and 80's. You know, the ones you would watch when it was too rainy or cold to go outside and skate around yourself (my vice was with skateboarding and not actual roller skates though. Yup, I am a man of the 80's). Click here to read more. |
