Yeah, I just let my inner Lou Holtz run wild sometimes.



I'd rather win by winning, too. The attendance boost is primo, but I can't put off training more salary-assploding stuff on my guys much longer, at least not if I plan on getting some big men built to play beside them before they're too old to do what I need them to do. I think the extra income from II, even boostless, might be needed sooner than later for me.

Doctorates? Have you seen how tough those professors are? We don't have a chance at a doctorate or a Masters, I'm just hoping that they don't test us before letting us in the cafeteria or we'll starve to death.

I can't really translate the above into the mushmouth accent he speaks with, unfortunately.

Of course if you are gonna imitate Granny Holtz you will need to take the Jets job and have Namath run the veer option. (yes that actually happened). I actually go into Sylvester the cat mode when it comes to TALKING like Holtz as he has always had a little bit of a lisp. And he always looked like a little old lady even when he was the coach at NC State back in the early 70's even though back then he had pretty long hair.

in regards to the fates and fortunes of the furious AKA the league, at the top the clogs and VPI AKA Deronimo are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-BX7sxAnak there is a new tune being sung among the next five teams,

Had one of those soul-destroying beatdowns tonight. Went with my 3rd team while the other guy played his 1st. Results were predictable.

I can kind of understand why he did what he did. He sacrificed a league game to make sure that he won the cup game. And he was probably committed to it minutes-wise because of that. But it just reinforces how dumb the training is in this game. I've played a lot of manager games and this is the only one with this type of requirement. Only thing I'm a little ticked about is one of my trainees fouled out after 16 minutes. Which I guess happens when a 75k guy goes up against a 2K guy.

Several years ago, I rage quit over a cup game just like this. I don't really care that much now. But it's results like this that drive new players away. I don't reckon anything will ever be done about it. But getting beat by nearly 100 points is just stupid.

Solid addition to the league playlist, hopefully my good luck with team health will continue.

Grats to the Goon Squad on a big win. If you can't beat em, beat em up. No coincidence the thug that knocked my best defender out of the game goes off after that. This game ...

Yeah the Gobblers are pretty dastardly, but at least it was just a 'story line' injury, Generals management feels your pain as we know well the feeling of getting lambasted after intermission against those vile ruffians. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_njMyZkQ_6w


Of course we did our share of leg breaking last night as knocking out the Nasties swingman coupled with the advantage in effort did combine to lead the lads to a fine win against an opponent that has gotten the best of the boys in recent seasons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IST6qRfVqwY

I do have a squad that is built for a team like yours, but I still expect a loss when I go to your arena as well.


You know it's ugly basketball when each team has more blocked shots than assists (hell, we combined for more steals than assists as well, though that was primarily your work). I do know that it's not the ugliest televised game in III.5 history, however, since it's not even the worst one I participated in: (42762171)
