I know everyone gets their share of adversity. New York Jests for instance had a ton of injuries early on and had to fight through it. The difference is, my team from the start was at best a 5th place team. That's with every good break going my way. The first part of the season played out the way I thought it would. The CT first game worked just as I thought, and I still managed two more wins in conference play which put me exactly where I wanted to be. I tried to sell off one of my injured players and I couldn't get as much out of him as I would have liked. A 4 week injury does that though. Still reeling, I wasn't able to get any of the winnable games against the Great 8 to go my way and the C I tried to hire as a stop gap didn't work AT ALL because of the fouling problem that I couldn't see from his stats before I bought him. After losing to Slip N Slide to start conference play, I knew avoiding 8th was impossible at that point. So what should I have done? No point in TIE'ing and saving up enthusiasm for one win against a team of my random picking. The only goal still there was the number 1 pick.

I would be VERY ironic if I got the 2nd pick from the WO tiebreaker. It really should be that way anyhow.

And no reason to bring U21 into this at all. That is a completely different scenario.

Well said, Jelme. I think that it would be best at this point to wrap this thing up and for all of us to forget about it...

+1

But only if darykjozef was given a heads up and able to plan his training around the WO. Anything short of that is classless.

As you may of seen other people say, I have enough problems trying to promote without someone helping out the other team.


I was with you until you said this. Now I've decided you're just being silly.

The only way you're not promoting is if you play a WO game 2 and POCT it to give me a chance at stealing game 3 at your place.

Jelme has since apologized, and my training lineup would not have changed much. I also think we touched on the subject prior to the match in a game chat beforehand (squeakrico was there as well), but I didn't get the impression he was really going to set a WO lineup.

No blood, no foul.

If by that, you mean "it sure was nice to have a sure-fire 20-point TIE victory on the schedule," then I'm sure you do.

I think next season I may have a shot. I can't compete with Hobos' guards.

We do try to fight. THe question is what day are you fighting for pappy

i did my damndes last year and put up a hell of a fight.


The sad thing was i had too many old trainees. Tough to play young trainees since my big men were so "meh"

So i could keep playing older trainees scrap out 11-11, get another 3-4 mil in the bank and make another run, or punt. When greer got hurt to start the year (my overall best player in spite of the salary), and then another injury, then some rotten luck, my upside diminished to 7-15. I focused on the cup but then got a shitty draw early (9 straight road games in the cup, i know the odds of that, i guess it will happen to 1/10 users or so over some point in their career), then just realized that Lathrop improved tons (credit to the dude), the 1 new guy we had coming up didnt totally suck, and my team wasnt getting younger.

now i have a new problem. 10 mil and how to spend it?
