We all need role models, people to look up to that show us a path to success, people that show us how to handle adversity, people that show us how to prevail against overwhelming odds.

So who would make the perfect role model for Thursday Night Football Madness? Beatrix Biddo. That’s right, The Bride, a former member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad.

The Bride never gave up even when she was shot in the head and left for dead at a Texas chapel on the day of her wedding rehearsal. After coming out of a coma, she systematically took out the members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad.

She faced overwhelming odds when she took out O-Ren Ishii’s Yakuza army, including the elite Crazy 88 and O-Ren’s personal bodyguard Gogo Yubari. Then there was her epic duel with O-Renherself.

She didn’t quit after getting blasted in the chest with buck shot by Budd. She used the martial arts techniques she learned from master Pai Mei to punch her way out of a coffin and claw her way to the surface. She picked up her Hattori Hanzo sword and went back on her rampage of vengeance.

The Bride went toe-to-toe with Elle Driver in an epic catfight for the ages.

It all led up to the final confrontation with Bill, her former lover and the leader of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. The Bride used the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique to vanquish Bill. Bill didn’t even know how to execute the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart technique.

The point is … and there is a point to this … the point is Thursday Night Football Madness is the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart technique of the OCVarsity Universe.

Game of the night: Cypress at Western, 7 p.m.
