I think it's another lost season for me. I expected to fall to 4 and play Diorite which I think I actually match up better with. But it's the Bunnies who have my number...

We are falling into this RL ass backwards. Last night was a miserable performance. I guess we should survive, but it will not be as much of a gimme as the blizzards would propose. But I came into this season with modest expectations and those have been met.

I am back from vacation and looking at some interesting match-ups. A computerized player managed team on top of the RL in the blue (What's up?). Hehe if he were in our division he might be in the playoffs lol. We are definitely going to lose a good Coach (Lamb or Goat). Hate to see either one of you guys leave. Could the 3rd time be a charm for the Mavs playing the Kittens ? I think not - going to get bounce again but hey it's good to just make it to the playoffs again with the challenges of this season. GL to all.

People keep falling for that

Since it's the postseason tonights opening is a duel pronged affair. Starting with various scenes from those still in the championship chase transitioning over to the battles of the also rans for survival.

Announcer: now time has come to start on the final road to crown a champion.

Over in big blue...

Regular season champion and top seed overall Pistons face the challenge of the always tough Bulldogs

And at the cave the Cinderella bunnies will be looking to bounce Deronimo from the chase.

Off in club red things seem more cut and dried...

2 on paper looks to be much more stout than Masters

And the kitties should claw their way to Saturday night against a mavs club that just seems happy to have gotten this far...

And on the other end of the spectrum are those who now have to prove themselves for the privilege of staying here in the slaughterhouse.

Stormz salvaged a winning campaign from the carnage and now will look to make quick work of sputtering Spike

The Generals match up well on paper with the blizzards but it might not be near as clear cut as it appears to be.

And the nation despite being not having overall HCA looks like a solid bet to at least snake game one from the grizzlies. But with two stalwarts on the hook for big money on the TL those odds of survival could change dramatically.

Sybil will get her say...we will say goodbye to the spiders and daggers. And we go inside the draft rooms around the league to see what the youth market might pull in. So settle on in, fill your cup until you say when and get ready for another round of BB2NIGHT

LMAO....good stuff. This is the stuff that I'll miss the most....the commentary!!!!

Goat hit the nail on the head. Of the divisions I've been in, this one had the best forum. I will miss the lot of you. BB2Night was worth the price of admission. Don't forget to hit me up with PM's and scrimmage invites.

As for the way the season went, as soon as I knew I wasn't making the playoffs, I tanked and tried to pick up a good draft pick. Not that I had to do much to tank. You guys are monsters :) The funny part was when I tried to lose a game against the daggers, and we couldn't even do that. Well, at least I get the second best pick. It better be good! I definitely learned a lot about this game. This seasons was an eye-opener.

As for next season, the goal is not to promote as fast as possible, but to make sure this team is ready once it eventually does. The plan is to focus on making bank. The success of the team will not be determined by what is in the "W" column, but by what is in the "$" column. I will probably stay down for a while, not even thinking of promoting until the arena and bank are the right size for it.

I came really close to walking away from this game for good, until some nice people in this league talked me out of it. Again, it's the people I will miss and I hope you keep in touch. *handshake* Have a good post season. Hope next season goes well for you, too.

I'd say build solid and young, but still try and promote as soon as you can. Not all D3s are created equally. Plus you get that sweet, sweet cash.

Take it from me, the last time I promoted was 27 seasons ago... It's only been 7 years.

Promoting is hard to do - and even harder to plan. Just focus on improving your team, and let things take care of itself.

Just when you think you have your team set, another team in the league will sell a couple of young prospects for some serious money, and plow that back into the their starting lineup - adding that monster center they need to be championship team (or whatever) -- or --

Alternatively, a good team may get frustrated and start a tear down and rebuild campaign a little premature, thereby giving other (not-quite ready) teams a chance to get on a hot run all the way to a league title.

Improve the team and be ready to answer the door when opportunity knocks.
