All those fancy decimal points make my head hurt.

There is a gap, but I don't think it's as big as last year. Vulgar Flower and Southern Beavers are certainly better than the teams they replaced, and the rest of the Great 8 teams are at least as good as they were last year.

Are any of the Big 8 teams as dominant as T-Rex was last year? Maybe Fern Creek can be when they get their starters all healthy, but everyone else would need to add to their roster to get there . The Demon Hoosiers are off to a fast start, thanks to their high priced double-double machine, but he's 37... and Swiss, so I can't see that lasting all season. Eclypze has a barbaric front court, but still no depth. A poorly timed injury to either of those guys could cost them a game or the season. And the Chicken Hawks lost some depth in the offseason.

To summarize- Great 8 is number 1! Big 8 are a bunch of poopy faces! This concludes my trash talking for the day.

Valid. I just wanted to look smart.

What does everyone prefer, round to the tenth or hundredth? No need to go to the thousandth like I've been doing.

but he's 37... and Swiss


Fantastic haha.

the decimal point comment was not meant to be critical, just a joke. i guess i should learn how to use punctuation to convey winky smiley faced things if i'm going to participate in these forums without offending everyone. your efforts are much appreciated. i can do fractions and long division if needed. don't be so sensitive (see, that last bit is criticism)

Oh, fear not. I was not offended. I liked the idea, whether it was a joke or not!

It's nice to be on the other side of a thrown game for once. The top of the table battle on the other side had some impressive ratings though.

Are you planning on having replacements in time for our game? Please say no.

Yea, I'm glad you didn't normal. I would have felt bad. I've got a tough cup game this week, and I needed to win the TV/rival game for my fan survey, so my game with you pulled the short straw.

Cow Lickers have been pretty steady with good ratings. That rating average is one of the top all season (I haven't done this week's yet). Only behind me vs. Eclypze, you vs. Thunderhorse, and you vs. Chicken Hawks. It seems he belongs around the top of the rankings.

I reasoned that you'd either play guys in position and be weak outside, or you'd play guys out of position and be weak outside. So far your pattern has been two games on, one game off for your star, and I fell on the good part of that rotation. I imagine things get less predictable in a couple weeks. Cow Lickers wasn't the only team in that game with good ratings either. Both are still contenders.

You reasoned correct! And hang on.. are reasoning that my team my be weak outside?? Where did you get that idea????

I take nothing away from The Door Mats. He plays a very unique style - low salary players and average ratings performing very well. I used to think it was a fluke, but it's clearly not.

However, even last night, his ratings were pretty average. Just a quick glance here are some of the top ratings last night (apologies if I missed anyone, I haven't completed the rankings yet):

1. Cow Lickers: 7.8
1. Demon Hoosiers: 7.8
1. CA Foreigners: 7.8
4. Fern Creek: 7.6
5. Lumberjacks: 7.2
5. Blazing Ninjas: 7.2
5. Lakey: 7.2
8. The Door Mats: 7.0

Right now I put Cow Lickers as the favorite over there, with The Door Mats and Foreigners close behind. And then you at the top of our side, with a train wreck right behind you that includes (but is not limited to) Fern Creek, Eclypze, and NATELLIO! Maybe Chicken Hawks can join the wreck. And Thunderhorse. Oh and Blazing Ninjas. And I guess the Rebels beat me... so them too.

Yeah, when home court, effort, and blowout are taken into account, it looks even better for me. I'm assuming the fairly lengthy garbage time reduced my ratings some. All that said, I'm still not all that confident going into the playoffs with this team.
