I just want to put the game, sports, fun and comedy aside for a moment and say...
I'm sorry to all who lost someone on 9/11/01. Often someone can go through the grieving process and think everything is ok until an anniversary brings back the pain. If you're reading this, and that's where you are right now, just remember that you are not alone.
And while we're being serious for a moment, if you live near the Carolinas, keep an eye on the storm. Be safe.

ditto and here here !

The great Hunter S. Thompson posted this piece in the aftermath of the events of that day. I still read it every year to remind me of the feelings from that day. My folks were out of town and I stopped by on my way to work to bring in the mail. I was about to grab a bowl of cereal and turn on Today, but thought better of it. I get in my car (1994 Ford Escort) and the morning radio guys are like OMG someone just flew a plane into the WTC, then came the second. I immediately switched to NPR and went to the office where I broke the news about what happened as we all sat there watching the aftermath.

We all lost something that day, and that was the world that was before.

Now in regards to Florence. I was down right on the NC/SC boarder yesterday running appointments. Those people range from petrified to ready to party. A guy in front of me in line at the store quips that the 5th horseman of the Apocalypse is in town. When I asked what that means he said Jim Cantore of the weather channel is in town. I live 200 miles inland and it will be a bit of a mess here as loads of rain is on the way and a high pressure system might cause this storm to stall out. I bet Ladson is already in real life bug out mode as is everyone on the coasts of both states. And eastern NC is going to get drilled with flooding. Particularly Greenville and Kinston which are not only River towns but also end up seeing the worst flooding by what comes in from Raleigh which takes 2-3 days to arrive.

As for me, I moved my Raleigh area appointments from Thursday to today and I think the Charlotte run I have for Friday I will try to bump up a day as well. Pretty much every college game is going to be affected, which in the case of my Tar Heels is a good thing because we are an embarrassment.

Your opening montage consist of scenes of teams coming out of the tunnel. Players driving the lane, driving the baseline,hitting the open man on the give and go and other various examples of frenetic kinetic energy.

Cue: https://youtu.be/Yjy2yfLUJSg

Announcer: as season 43 quickly winds it's way to its conclusion it is already time for the return matches.

Over in the blue chips

Deronimo has long pulled from their midseason doldrums and are pace to procure a first round playoff game in the cozy confines of Cassell. While cellar dwelling Cincinnati can start to concern themselves with getting ready to go down.

The pole sitting pistons take a trip to the cave to visit the always dangerous bunnies.


The bulldogs will seek to stymie red hot Greensboro as the Generals are hoping to avenge a bitter opening night defeat and to pull even in the win column with the other playoff hopefuls.


And the nation will try to continue their recent surge against fading stormz.

Over in club fed


The mavs are out to spread the gap from the relegation zone while the blizzards will try to make a stand and close the gap.

Round 2 should see no issues against sputtering Spike.

The kitties look to hold home serve against the grizzlies


And masters appears to have the free lap against the daggers

Sybil will get her sights set on how she sees tonight's action playing out. We of course will have the latest from the transfer ticker. And tonight's point/counterpoint will delve deeper into the current promotion/relegation process. So no matter if it's a bright sunny day or your seeking shelter from the storm there's no need to be forlorn because BB2NIGHT is.....now

Any flooding?

Not around here, not yet anyway. But the southern part of the county is seeing some as they are getting heavier bands of rain.

Another bitter loss tonight and it has the looks of a death knell for our playoff hopes as we are two games and loads of PD out of 4th.

Tonight's opening montage is a typical display of prowess from the pretenders to the contender's.

Cue : https://youtu.be/x3cqSew4rp4

Announcer: with the season dwindling down to its final days there is a distinct separation between the haves and have nots. But in those different castes there is still much to be settled

Over in club red


The kitties will look to keep pace but will have to avoid a classic trap situation against masters.


If daggers is going to try and make any sort of move on getting out of the cellar tonight's trip to Spike is as good of a opportunity as ever.

If the mavs can come up with a win at Wadsworth they can essentially punch a playoff ticket.

And 2 will look to stay on pace against the struggling blizzards.

Over in the big 8

The pistons look to tame the dogs and move one step closer to claiming top prize.

Deronimo will try to continue their quest for their umpteenth second place finish as tonight they face the fading stormz

The nation looks to continue their surge against a Generals B squad which has to suck it up after a difficult loss to Cal over the weekend.


And the bunnies will look to mathematically squash the spiders.

Sybil will be here to seer into her crystal ball. All the news on the ticker will be tabulated. And the commish will come by to give his state of the slaughterhouse address. So don't feel under duress, sit back and decompress as it's time again for BB2NIGHT

The production team adds more to the collage of montage as our mouthpiece waxes poetic.



Cue https://youtu.be/Cfr2HWJYQo0


announcer: as the season changes and the weather cools the competition continues to hear up.

In another edition of the league's oldest rivalry Deronimo seeks to finally dismantle any hopes the Generals still aspire for the playoffs.


The bunnies need to hold home serve against stormz.

Cal gets the clear path against Cincinnati

While the pistons can completely clinch with a win tonight though they do have to face the hard charge of the nation .

The mavs look for the final burst of separation as a win over masters practically stitches up third.

Round 2 has to protect the house while the grizzlies know a RL series is in their future

The kitties will be looking to lay the hammer down for their free pass against Spike as they could easily catch 2 in points by the end of tonight's action.

And the blizzards could easily find themselves in the club red five hole after their dismantling of the daggers.


Sybil will have her say and tonight we will also look behind the scenes at Sybil the soccer mom, you won't want to miss out. Lots of scheming and dreaming on the transfer ticker and we will take a look. And tonight's vox populi examines, what do you worry most about as a fan, you will be surprised by some of what the people say.

So settle in from a busy day, get ready to watch your team play as to set the stage we have all that and a whole lot more as it's time again for BB2NIGHT

Ugh, I used my game against MOB as a template and didn't change the focus...

Been there done that. But you still can control your destiny as that season finale is liable to turn into a two part cliffhanger.

But will gladly reap the benefits. Too late to do anything with it however. Season ticket holders got "the letter" letting them know their accounts will be charged for both potential home games in RL series unless they reply by certified mail by midnight Friday. Adjustments of course will be made, well we will send you some leftover swag equal in value to your tickets. Which means there will be patrons who will be getting big ass boxes of Vincent Clemente jerseys and the 2 DVD silver anniversary retrospective.


This season has turned into a surreal Odyssey. Swept by nation, but sweep Deronimo. Four home losses after only 2 in the previous two campaigns combined. Yet I got some good road wins.

Breaking News -- CC Mavs fired their Staff Doctor after 1 season and a half. Coach Law stated, "He Sucked!, we have had nothing but injuries after injuries since that quak doctor came on aboard. My guys, no longer to even be treated by him. Good Riddance!." Hopefully the CC Mavs can stay healthy enough now to be some games for the end of the season.
