I am excited for the second half of the season to start. I have dug myself a fairly big hole that I probably will not be able to make it out of, but I am looking forward to the challenge of trying to avoid relegation. From a promotion standpoint, it seems like a 3 or 4 team race at this point and it will be interesting to see how Red Velvet's team fares after their slow start.
Their salary is 100k higher than the next team and they look to make real noise come the playoffs. Overall, salaries have really climbed as I have the highest salaried team I have had in my 5 seasons in Div II, and yet I have the lowest salary of any team in the Great 8. Definitely enjoying the competition as it makes the season that much more fun when each game is important and a challenge.
Best of luck to everyone in the second half!
