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.

Ha I was wondering why the scrubs didn't come out except for one minute based on the score.

Yeah there were missteps all over the place. Enthusiasm, lineup, defense, offense, sub pattern all factored into the equation.

Now comes the clearance sale, Raul Emolouga is 40 so he is a given, especially with that new piece still factoring into matters. the real question is who is gone beside that? At least one other guy from the back court, maybe even two or even three if I cut bait on some of the projects. About everyone on the roster I can make a case for unloading, and a counterpoint to keep.
