nice

Yeah it was a bit of a gamble, but I felt like it was the right move. Certainly glad it paid off with the win, especially after my two bigs fouled out early. Watching the game live was a real nail biter. I just didn't think we would pull it out without the CT though, and the final score probably confirms that. I admit I was kind of surprised your squad didn't normal, to be honest?

I figured you'd either TIE and save enthusiasm or else play Normal. I didn't expect the CT and figured I could beat you on a Normal vs TIE at home. After losing to East Gary I lost all hopes for total HCA and now I just need to stay ahead of Toronto in order to have HCA for the first two rounds.

Mid Season Power Rankings! Congrats to those with representatives in the All-Star game and 3 point contest. It's always interesting to see who gets spat out into these things.

ps. I hate the all star break.

Big 8 took 5 again Saturday, closing the gap a little more. It's now 25-23, Great 8's lead, with 2 games left. Would be a wonderful comeback, no thanks to Chekreyes!!

Below I list UP or DOWN next to the rankings, which simply denotes if your teams rating (not position) moved or down this week.

Recap of Season (So far)


Well, some teams won, some lost, and some did some upsets. Is Natellio's team on the comeback trail, doing the final push ahead to get to the playoffs? Right now in the Great 8, it's just nothing happening, 6 games separating 4 from 5th (East Gary Eagles from The Door Mats) But in the Big 8, even though they aren't as great than the Great 8, (Based on Record) there's a whole lot of competition, Flash Mashers 9-4 record only leads by 5 games from 7th seed Jack Acid Society. Natellio looks like they're getting on the comeback trail, and making a big push to the playoffs. They're on a 4 game winning streak! While unfortunatly Flash Mashers lost in a CT by Ron Swanson and EGE. They're now down in a TIE with Toronto Traptors, only leaning on a 206 PD lead. Eclpze is still in the playoff picture even though they are tanking! While then Extra Crispy is probably eating something crispy, just laying back in his chair about to get third place. Who will make a move at the playoffs? What will happen in the jokeying for position? Is Dong Energy, Cathar Heretics, and Ron Swanson going to be able to hold their positions while EGE is pursuing a higher seed at the POs? We will have to see to find out.........

It's a five game win streak. COME ON!

And it's about to be dismantled @ Ron Swanson Saturday night.

No please CT him and win by three.

It would make me giggle.

I suppose it is an away game... Kind of important.

Which is stupid by the way. Fan survey blows.

Exactly. CT CT CT.

On a serious note, I tried suggesting that they changed ''The team played well in our last game'' to the last two games to balance out Home and Away, but nobody responded. That and the rating dished out when you exit the cup early do to a crappy draw are the problems I see with the fan survey.

Link that thread. I'll comment on it! Those are certainly 2 problems with the fan survey. Allow me to add some more:

#3. There should be a bigger push for making the playoffs. My fans were more happy when I was 5th than when I was 3rd (in terms of being pleased with last season's results). Financially it's already better to be 5th than 3rd or 4th, so they need to give a little more motivation to push for the playoffs.

#4. "I am familiar with the star players and am not afraid that they will be transferred" should say "Natellio, if you even THINK about listing ANY player on the transfer list, you will never get more than one ball." They need to clearly define what a "star" player is. It's fine to loose some balls if players get listed (even if they don't get sold), but the fact that listing one player (regardless of skill) will screw you for multiple weeks is ridiculous.
