Unedible did check in for the first time since the 19th. I would like to think their history suggest they are going to focus on keeping their hotshots well heeled, but we will not know until tip, but I am cautiously optimistic.

Found a big time playa for a paupers sum. Oh it has me looking at being 11k in the hole based upon current income levels, but we are going to pass part of the price on to the customer. I think they will not mind paying a few extra bucks. Of course I will need to dump a little salary, in theory, but I may just keep the remainder of the squad as to maximize depth, but it's a wait and see approach to matters. If I could add a dynamic presence to the backcourt that would be optimal, but finding this guy was a coup. I really dig the way this cat is built I feel he has viability at the 3,4, or 5. For a PF he has a lot of range, some of his secondaries are kinda soft, but nothing truly detrimental. Funny thing is he has almost the exact TSP as Webb, with a very similar guard to forward split, but he is four times as expensive due to the nature of his makeup. Then again TSP I feel is not always the best indicator of impact.

The one bad thing is the development of Han is getting side tracked, so I guess getting him coached up to U21 levels might be slipping by the wayside but I still see him in time being a bug time player. As it currently shakes out this week will be another attempt to snake something for one of the guards as Han is just not going to get enough minutes this week. Hopefully we get another week of cup play before settling into throwing full attention to this man.

Tonight open starts with a shot of a heavily perspiring Andy Armstead as a single bead of sweat falls from his eyebrow in slow motion. Then of various players, coaches, and even spectators looking for ways to combat the rising temperature. Followed by some hot on court action consisting of those breakaway dunks long bombs, pretty backdoor cuts etc that we all know and love.

Announcer: with summer at our door as the season prepares to hit the all Star break the battle for position continues to heat up.

The blizzards will be looking to hold on to their tenuous grip on the final spot in club red while quake will be seeking to climb back out of the cellar of the blues.

While the exact same situation plays itself out tonight at the forum as the host Spartans try to steer clear of calamity again a 2 squad trying to edge out of the relegation zone.


The Pistons seek to hold serve against the bulls.

While the bunnies are hoping to creep back a little closer to playoff contention against a Mavs club that would like to claim a road win in the cave to bolster their present position.

Stormz will be hoping to squelch the sharks attack and to keep pace in the Uber competitive Blues.

While the Generals will be looking to keep pace with the top end of the table against a winners club trying to find a way out of club red perdition.

Tonight our cameras will focus on the NoCo as top of the pops Lions and kitties will claw at each other.


And in Cassell coliseum Deronimo and Masters tee it up in a clash between those who are sitting pretty at number two.



The Lions are Generals are still stormin like Norman in the cup. And of course we will check to see what their chances look like for the Taco Tuesday edition of the cup competition. Of course Sybil has her say. We will take a look at what the post all star landscape may hold. Tonight's point-counterpoint debate will discuss the merits and needs of the All Star Game activities. All that and a whole lot more as it's a memorial day weekend Beach blast edition of BB2NIGHT

Yeah buzzer manager suggest that guy is going to see quite a drop-off in salary next season.

The goals for tonight are threefold.

1, win, nothing is assured in life I think we got this one and we will get to spread the minutes to boot, we need to pick up some PD but overall management of minutes must take priority. Of course with my luck nine guys will get tomate poisoning at the team dinner and we will have to start Tanner and a lucky fan

2, draw a good house, b-m suggest my pricing is spot on, but will the fans crap all over it since tonight's opponent lacks cache? the price increases are somewhat steep but dammit were offering a better product, the sheeple better acknowledge.

3, avoid injury, I am not out and out sitting guys as minutes do need to be procured, but the goal is to have enough in the tank for the full Monty. Let's just hope winners doesn't thug out or that some hick throws ice out on the floor.

This actually is what in many ways is a "historic" time for this franchise. First we are enjoying what is for us a excellent season so we want to keep riding that horse. Second is we have a real chance on Tuesday to break thru a glass ceiling as this is our 4th trip to the field of 64. First time around was a walloping to the Anteaters, second was a close loss to Georgia Tech, third was a brutal heartbreaking loss to Cold Fish. Now we get a shot against someone who on paper we look to match up well with. Lastly the Generals are finally on the forefront of cracking the hot 100. At the moment we sit at 104 which about equals the closest we have ever gotten , and our momentum might propel us into the charts but a couple of more wins this week I think puts it over the top for sure.

I want to congratulate both of you guys for going as far as you have in the CUP. Boy we (RED) take a beating this week going 0-for against the BLUE. Guys we have to better some sort of way hehe.

With the combination of the memorial day weekend, all-star week in BB, and facing the top team in the league on the road, kitties put no effort or thought into the match or tactics. Just take the team training this week, and get ready for the more typical weeks to resume.

Not that is matters - Ladson gets my vote for league champ and promotion up to D.2 when all is said and done. If they are on top of a tough code red AND still in the cup at this point of the season, that is one solid team - strong enough to take it all in this league.

Clean sweep by the Blues. All 8 of the blues can put up a fight and #1 & 2 of the reds were tied up with #1 and 2 of the blues, so this isn't a HUGE surprise. Mighty Spartans needed a big 4th quarter to squeak out their win, though. I didn't expect them to win when I checked in on the game at half.

The kitties were extra fierce tonight against my squad. Despite the double digit victory, they had it down to 3 points with 4 minutes or so to play. I don't know if I win that game last year, but we are a well-oiled machine this year. All 11 of my regular rotation are strong/proficient game shape, and 9 of them are proficient. Perry Sommer at PF was a huge addition, as well. He provides secondary, and a lot of times primary, scoring. Plus Sams and Richter are now capable of playing at this level. In previous seasons, if Colon was shut down my offense would sputter.

That was a nice comeback by Sparty. And they have righted the ship and will serve as a spoiler the rest of the way. But the comeback of the night, nigh of the season, was turned in up in the New River Valley as delirium reigned. A glance at the scoreboard after three periods saw Masters seemingly ensconced leading by a dozen. Generals management was looking forward to setting into second. But in the words of Lee Corso, not so fast my friend. Not only do the Defacto Gobblers come back, they ransacked Masters trashing them so badly during that final 12 minutes to engender garbage time. When it was all said and done Deronimo had turned in something truly absurd by claiming the fourth by a count of FORTY EIGHT to fourteen. I've seen some crazy comebacks in our silly little game, I've seen some crazy comebacks IRL but that might just not take the cake, but all of the rest of the pastries.
