I actually went to Christiansburg just yesterday to take those guys a load of our bed in a box.

I actually had the chance to take tickets tonight for UVA vs UNV. But alas the work scene just makes cutting away impossible. Just as well though, my ass would be staring at a screen on my phone the entire time.

The oddsmakers I would guess have deronimo about a 10 point favorite.

Almost forgot to raise the ticket prices for our neighbors to the South...



Gonna be a long bus ride back down 220. Petersen again just played terrible, lot of money to pay for not much overal production. But Tapia was the difference, he was en Fuego in the secon half as you had too many weapons, great game! Now can you take out the kitties and finally get out of here?!? I think it is going to be a helluva final.

Brewskies live to fight another day , egg and waffles will face for the other salvation spot in what has been a tight series.

Kitties just crushed it, now the question is if deronimo can stretch it to Sunday .... Brewskies and Waffles out in bitter fashion.

I actually 100% support the decision to go PON in game 1 as the road team there - play for games 2 and 3 when you get an enthusiasm advantage and don't have to worry about minutes management so can just play your top lineup heavy minutes both games. Think Fiercekitties have been the best team in the league so it probably won't be enough, but it's the best shot. I might even go PON in game 2 - if you lose you lose and it's ultimately little different if you lose in 2 games or 3, but if you win then you can potentially enter game 3 with double enthusiasm advantage to offset HCA. We'll see if Deronimo has the same line of thought whenever BB's servers start the games

Sorry I couldn't pump out BB2NIGHT during the finals. But it is our busy time of year at work and after 8 seasons of doing those it's getting harder and harder to come up with tunes and talking points. Ok the dragnet thing was self indulgent but hey a man has to entertain himself!


as we come out of the last commercial break (consisting of Jim Bakker emergency food buckets, flex seal and a my pillow spot, and you thought just the ACC network had problems getting sponsors) you see the cleaning crew collecting the confetti and balloons being cleared away inside a empty arena as the last of the disappointed but not surprised deronomite fans clear into the cold night.

Announcer: and in a season that saw a little bit of everything the kitties clawed their way and shredded the drapes of deronimo's title hopes to claim the top prize. To them best of luck on the next level. To those like the generals old buddies The Brewskies best of luck getting back up soon.

Now as we write the final words for this chapter let's take one last look at the sights of the season past as when '48 is reflected upon it will be remembered as "the year of the cat". For all of us here at BB2NIGHT, Sybil, Al, Lee and the rest of the crew have a great off season and we'll see you soon!

My Kitties will be moving up to D.2, after 9 seasons in III.13. Made the finals a few times, but could not win the title until now. My stay in D.2 will likely be short - my back court has gotten old and my two homegrown twin towers (Dewey and Weiner) are getting very expensive salary wise. The window for winning the title was closing - and I may have to blow up the team and retool. So I will likely be back in a D.3 league next season.

Want to give big shout out to coachlambini for the BB2NIGHT postings, as well as to all of the other regular forum contributors. Hopefully my next league will be as active and entertaining.

Best of luck everyone, and hopefully we will meet again in a cup or league match down the road.

Just curious, did the delay play into your decision to PCT?

I've been bounced back to Div IV where I belong, at least I think that's how it works, but I will always cherish the fact that I gave the Kitties 1 of their 2 losses while they were focused on their cup game that week.

Yeah I went to league page and saw 35 unread messages and thought huh... Oh shit I got promoted... There was no way I was making it any other way than squeaking in without actually winning this league! But I will miss you guys and this league that was home for literally years and years. I'll especially miss the generals rivalry, but good luck everyone, it's been fun!
