Welcome to all the new comers, to another season. My kitties have basically the same plan as last season, continue to improve the team, while hoping I do well enough to avoid relegation.
My money is on Cal to claim the title this time - although that conference will be another dog fight.

Thanks homercat for the welcome. I know we won't be able to compete here, just hoping to stockpile some cash and try to improve my roster.

Well I haven't scouted any teams because my main goal isn't winning a championship this year. However, Cal does have a strong team for the blue. Yet, I am going to wait until I see how things unfold before I start giving my front runner for winning it all this year.

The stupid randomizer screwed us again. Literally every team in the Big 8 is ranked higher than every team in the Great 8. A year after every Big 8 team had a positive point differential after interleague last season. So dumb...

I am coming down with a cold, the water main up the street broke, and my place is so drafty that I am relegated to the living room as that is the one room that I can keep somewhat consistently warm, but hey it's opening night so it's all good, then again Cal thumps me like a watermelon at the state fair.

Yes the big blue does look stronger than club red. But there is not a clear cut favorite on either side. Opening week is always a hard week to judge how things will shake out. At the end of the day however once spring comes someone will move up, and some will be moving down. Who can stay healthy, who might see players mature in front of their eyes, who can win on the road? These are the questions that will determine the final outcome.

Ya, I'm not planning on being able to compete here. This is just phase II for me. Stockpile as much cash as I can as I revamp my roster. Trying to get younger at a couple of positions. So far, I've been able to increase my weekly income by unloading a couple of guys and increasing my talent as well. I've got one more piece I'm chasing which if I get him, will allow me to unload an aging PF. Once I do that, my moves will be complete and I will ride or die with the crew I have. I don't have the guns to compete with all the big dogs here, but then again, never expected to. Just grab the cash, get relegated, get a decent draft pick and move back up again soon.

Dammit I flubbed my sub pattern. Pissed away a perfectly good opportunity for a road win.
