Not a lot of discussion, must be because NBA is still before all star break and NFL playoffs are tying everyone up.
I am pretty content with my first DIII season. Played full strength against the Clogs to see how I stacked up against a solid DIII team. Came out pretty happy with the results. Sure I lost with enthusiasm advantage and home court, but was tied late in the 4th and my roster is still pretty minimal. Need to add a PF/C and maybe a PG.
I have the cash but not ready to pull the trigger. Pretty satisfied to make money hand over fist and play a relegation series. Will stock up next year for a real fight. I think I can beat any of the bottom 4 in the Great 8 straight up in a Bo3. I think it is a bad move to go to Utopia relegation/promotion rules, that is my biggest complaint over there tbh. But w/e have to play with what they give us. Hopefully I can make enough of a push next year to stick.
Getting to the five hole is not out of the question for the Lions as walker may well bot. As for my squad they are mercurial as a win over the guns followed by a loss to chopaski illustrates. But we....are.....better.
Also we are still pretty cash poor though there are assets, bringing down ticket prices could help the week to week but this is a great case study as to the long term effects of getting thumped by ones rival coupled with poor tv results do to a franchise.
