I guess I am a compulsive spender. Never seen that much money at one time. Between training and upgrading my stadium - which seems to hardly ever getting full this season is going to be really tough on the pocket book with my trainees going waaay up in salary. How is that stadium helping with your attendance ?

Learned something new after all of these years - players magically get all injuries healed on their of-season birthdays.
I had two of my starters injured in post playoff scrimmages - and was thinking I would begin the season behind the 8 ball.
But I log in, and they have magically been healed and are ready to play.

My Big 8 preview teams in order by predicted finish-

petersburg- 395k salary 104 Country Rank
D2 one and done, who is looking to return to D2 next season. A guard heavy lineup but with a veteran center addition David Sarro will make them a more well-rounded threat.

Caerbannog Bunnies- 294k 116 CR
Solid showing last season, but no major moves could mean playoffs but no title.

Cal Bulldogs- 302k 129 CR
Team retooled late last season, likely playoff contender.

Stormz- 318k 143 CR
Added two vets with no players sold off. A safe bet for a middle of the road finish.

Deronimo- 265k 137 CR
What would III.5 be without Deronimo? Luckily, another season which that question will not need to be answered as the team sits safely in the middle.

lakenation- 330k 199 CR
Great starting five, but a weak bench. Still good enough to stay in D3.

Greensboro Generals- 184k 124 CR
Aging roster needs to be addressed. Coachlambini keeps league forum lively and fun.

junkyard jammmers- 187k 274 CR
Sorry, jammmers! Will have to work really hard just to stay out of the last spot. Still has a roster of a good D4 team but overloaded with aging veterans.

Do the Great 8 too :-)

watch out for boston barricade..his team plays dirty..
He injured two of my players in the first game of the season lol
Luckily it was just ingame injuries and not weeks

That is the pro rasslin aspect of the game kicking in. A couple of your guys took the "blade" y'all "bumped" like hell for the barricade but in the end you "got over". Got to keep the new guys sheeple engaged ya know bro.


Well the generals got a backdoor cover on the spread ( I would have had Deronimo -12 if I was giving a line). Of course it took a French patient and Arenas going Hawaii five oh to make it happen, book em Danno. But most if that was after matters hadn't been decided. The Generals have all sorts of issues. And not a ton of cash to work with. Story of my BB life. Gonna be a llllooooonnngggg season I'm afraid as the fall schedule could turn into the generals winter of their discontent.

Announcer: and so the cycle begins anew. Some come into the season with high hopes, some with survival as their aim and others who have know they will have to step up their game to survive the onslaught.

Over in club red

The chefs look to establish themselves quickly at the top of the food chain while former slaughterhouse survivor Michigan Blasters will be trying to avoid going in the always troublesome 0-2 hole.


The stakes are similar for 2 and the Masters as those two tangle once again


The kitties and the mavs match wits with a early leg up going to the winner

While the barricade and stones square off in a effort to avoid slipping too close to the cellar in the early going


While over in the murders row that is the big 8

Pre season favorite Petersburg faces their first road test with a trip to the always yough to win in cave to face the continuing Cinderella story that is the bunnies.


The jamners will have to face the road force blunt of a trip to stormz

The generals look to avoid the looming specter of s 0-2 beginning though a battle with a bulldogs bunch the generals have always found to be a stylistic nightmare might not be the best place to search for those answers.


And the nation looks to capitalize on the momentum from the second half of last season against a Deronimo outfit that is starting to have more questions than answers


Sybil has returned from her sabbatical and will seer into her crystal ball. The transfer ticker is already going great Gonzo and we will see what sorts of steals and deals are being offered. Plus in our season starting edition of vox populi we will look into what the people think will be the teams to look our for in the season ahead. So no matter if the journey is something your excited to start on or if it fills you with dread, no time to go lay down and go to bed, it's time again for BB2NIGHT

The Fire Sale of the Generals does not look good for the future of that franchise staying in D3 since what season 31 ? It has to be hard to part ways with McClain, Irureta, and Skinner. Two of which were best men at each other's wedding I believe. GL Generals.

Great 8 review a week late.


Round 2 333k 89 CR
Team with a lot of promise. Could be a future D2 promotee. No key players over 31. Trainees are over 21 and able to compete.

Fiercekitties 289k 81 CR
Not far behind Round 2. Just sold two players netting roughly 800k. Balanced roster with no clear standouts.

CCMavs 246k 182 CR
I had to move the Mavs up after PG Ionel Constantin was brought in. Might be able to get past first round of playoffs.

Burger Chefs 279k 192 CR
Nice balanced roster with young players to keep team competitive and instant playoff contender.

MastersOfBall 239k 207 CR
Has the roster to be a Great 8 steady team but being a 5th seed could be dangerous.

Redstones 231k 249 CR
Only one player under 30. Should be thinking about a rebuild as Great 8 non-playoff teams have historically short stays.

Michigan Blasters 235k 165 CR
Looking for silver-lining. Should enjoy promotion money, I guess.
