The generals "30th" anniversary season hopefully will be a memorable one! And who do we get added to the mix but my old friend coachfillmore who brings The Brewskies to the party!

This season will even include playing on my birthday (February 12th) though interestingly enough it will be a visit to long time rival Deronimo on that evening.

Of course that has been a long and storied fixture in these parts as combined we have spent now 40 seasons in this league. But as crocodile Dundee might say in this instance
...that's not a rivalry....this is a rivalry. Filmore and I have been butting heads (and occasionally elbows) across many a platform, though not for many a year, I scrimmaged him a couple of times his first season here but aside from the occasional game of Madden we haven't really battled since probably 2002 or so. But from the mid 80's until the mid 90's we went after it in many types of contests. From the old atari rollerball x&O's football game in the arcade, to gridiron fight, in intellivision super pro hoops ( my all time favorite basketball game) madden, various nba and college hoops games, and even a lot of one on one games at various parks we have seen it all. Let's put it this way, he is the Ricky Steamboat to my Ric Flair so it's gonna be fun having him around, hopefully for a good long time. I am very interested to see what the rivalry matchups will be.

Btw- our new man has a very unique distinction, he joined the very last year there was a human d5, so in many ways he is the proverbial last of the Mohicans. I hope you will give him a fine slaughterhouse welcome, I know one thing, the bunnies will be rolling out the welcome wagon on Saturday night

This is a league of grizzled old vets. Counting the upcoming season the members of the slaughterhouse have a combined 447 seasons worth of aggregate experience. Which means the average league member has been here 27.9 seasons.

We have three teams who have been around 40 seasons or more
five thirty seasons or more

two 20 or more

and six 10 or more


and this just reflects the various players current incarnations, round 2 i know used to have a team way back and Im sure there are others here who are not on their first team.

I had a team from season 11 to 19. My son (same name but the third) made a team they thought I was double dipping - cancel both teams and I had to start over. Few seasons later Utopia duhhh

Your opening shows a box being emptied as each piece of the puzzle shows the name of a team with a quick cut to that team in action.

Announcer: tonight we renew the process of putting together the pieces of another season . Each night fills out the final picture a little bit more. Some will find their pieces fit together easily some will find frustration in figuring out what goes where.

Off in baby blue....

Newcomers the brewskies know there is much work to be done to fill out a roster worthy of slaughterhouse contention. Tonight they host last seasons finals competitors the bunnies who have found with each passing season they come closer to piecing it all together.

Deronimo celebrates the start of their 25th season in these friendly confines as they face a hungry newcomer in Hawks. And while their name and team owner's name suggest they are seeking chicken, on opening night they will have to settle more for gobbler as Hokied in the end might just end up feeling like foghorn leghorn https://youtu.be/wlT_ikcCIX0

The generals are hoping to return to contention. Petersburg on the other hand will be perhaps looking for a lot more than last seasons maintenance performance.

And in a battle between two teams that saw their championship dreams derailed the dogs and stormz will square off.

Off in club red....


In what could well be a precursor to meeting of greater import the mavs and kitties will renew hostilities.


Perennial contender 2 sees the chunks come calling

In a double debut the iguanas and neutrons will have a go

And Masters takes a trip to welcome the hackers to the slaughterhouse.

Sybil the soothsayer will squint into her crystal ball for her projections. The opening week saw loads of action on the transfer ticker and we will get you up to date. Plus tonight's point counter point will discuss which of our impressive set of new supplicates will make the most noise. There have been 16 teams in stern preparation for the impending season, tonight we get to see who might makes some moves as it's time to groove and get ready for another edition of BB2NIGHT!

After the injury to my key player last season i was ready to tank this season. Then i realize there’s no coachlambini in other leagues. So, i’ll stay and hoping to kick some...but first had to buy new starters or backups.

Your too kind. My little missives really can't be that interesting. Of course if I don't get it together I won't last much longer here. As Filmore said to be the other day....group of death

For the first time in the 15 seasons I have been here this league finally gets a six figure a week TV deal. Usually it's been between 95-98.
