I feel you Herc on the $$$. I have been in the Red most of the season (still am) with my players salary still rising. Heck, I had to stop training 2 or 3 times so I could just be 2 feet under water instead of 10 feet.

I sure hate that Burger might not get the automatic promo. I would hate for anyone of us to be stuck another season with that juggernaut. Also, I think Burger just spent his boatload of $$$ better than we did. Of course, experience has a lot to do with that. Some ppl are just better managers than others (me). hehe

Hello Everyone and I apologize for not being vocal this year. I have been around for a long time and while I used to be super active, I am not as much anymore. To comment on a few things ...

*I was not going to try and win at all and just stay in the league until the first prediction that I could relegate. I thought...F...that and bought some players.

*I still have a ton of cash. I tanked for years and years to hoard cash because I get bored, come back and work up to D2, tank seasons...repeat. I have kind of stayed around because me and my real life friend have been playing all this time. Yes, I have friends...errrr...friend in real life. I actually spend money not to get taxed, so you can put 2 + 2 together from the game manual on that! :D With that said, it takes too long to hoard cash now. I used to be able to make 100-150k tanking per week, while training some super young players. I would sell them for a lot and build up. Now with the fan revolt they have ...it killed a great majority of that. 2 years ago i was being hit with 30% penalties for losing all the time and it kills money in the worst way.

*I don't have any expectation on winning it all as I just consider myself one of probably 6 teams that wouldn't surprise. me. CC Mavs has my number (lost on his turf by 1 and i won in double overtime on my home turf). Styles make fights right? Round 2 put me down...Bunnies has some wicked D. Stormz is very good and while his injury will hurt ..he is crafty. Is he the one that ran a guard at Center early in the season? There is a way to beat that you know. Dig deep in those noggins of yours... That could be coming back to one of you lucky blues. If that was him....

* I am glad to have HCA and that will help a ton. Just hope the injury bug doesn't hit me....

*Special thanks to Greensboro for all the pre-game articles. Really cool stuff.

It's always nice when you guys complement me on my self indulgent ramblings. Glad to see it adds flavor to the proceedings.

This has been a brutal season for us all. I noticed the league average for profit is $216, no not 216 k, two hundred and sixteen dollars. Hell I'm running a 25k deficit each week myself, and I've bought players, and I've built a level 1 training facility ( worthless so far) and if I am lucky I stay up. All season my ticket sales have been disappointing. In a effort to rectify that I decided to dump prices about 20% across the board (except on the boxes) hopefully we will get the symbolism of drawing a full house in our "hour of need". But it's been a tough season for Generals fans, all the guys they've grown to love are gone, sure there are some interesting looking guys replacing them but they are unapproachable.

Actually if this backfires and the generals go down management will go for tidal destruction and a complete rebuild will be put in order.

But I think my supporters at least will show up for the challenge that the blasters represent. t least according to Cletus and Mr. Hitchcock there will be a little something they are going to try to get the crowd involved.


After the introduction of the starting lineups for your GREEEEENNNNSSSBBBBOOORROOO GGGGEEENNNEEERRAALLSS ( with our traditional theme,always a highlight)
https://youtu.be/P51cMstawuc there is about a 3 minute break between there and the tip. Usually the pep band (aka the little generals mini marching band) goes into something upbeat, something with a good kick. Tomorrow night however something different will happen. It will start in that first row behind the visitors bench where Hitchcock and his merry band of pranksters reside. It will start with a hand clap https://youtu.be/IoQD2Bhk_wI it will spread to a single drum in the band, the guys think the rest of the crowd will get in on the action. And when the network comes back from commercial and that horn blows calling the teams for the opening tip it will ring out to the ceiling in a bombastic manner.

My playoff prediction - Burger takes league title in 2 games versus [insert blue team name here].

Tonight's opening montage is of the most dramatic moments of playoffs past.

Announcer: in the playoffs and relegation derbies every moment counts. Championships and survival is on the line as the intensity rachets up with each passing moment. Who is ready to face the dry mouth of post season angst? And who will find the heat from this cauldron to be too much to handle? Tonight we take the first steps to find out.

Over in club red....

The odds on favorite chefs look to declaw the kitties and to move on to Saturday night.

While the mavs host two in a contest which is much more of a coin flip affair

Over in the big 8....

Regular season champion stormz look to be weakened by the injury bug but it remains to been seen if enigmatic Petersburg can take advantage of the situation as last seasons d2 demotee has found the slaughterhouse a perplexing puzzle.

While in the other matchup the dogs will find the bunnies much more difficult to handle thanks to their injury issues.

And in the battles to stay on the island both 5's are in fine shape to survive as Deronimo should easily dispatch overmatched redstones while the Masters can choose their score against defunct nation.

And then you have the slugfest between the sixes. S31 champion Blasters against a team that joined the fray that season in the generals. Greensboro has procured the HcA but during the regular season the blasters blew them off the floor. However both sides have seen turmoil since. The blasters will be missing an important part of their puzzle while the generals are still trying see if their new upgraded talent has the cohesion to meet this challenge.

Sybil is here as always to seer into her crystal ball. The transfer ticker kept tocking to the last, we will look at the latest. And tonight's point counter point will discuss the current relegation process. So settle on in, it's time for the second season to begin as it's a quarter finals taco Tuesday edition of BB2NIGHT

GG Herc and your reward - The Chef of all Burgers ! Bon Appetite ... We didn't go far this playoffs so we will have to try harder next season. GL to all.

Does stormz get their big gun back for Saturday and will he be in good shape?


Same applies to Blasters. I can see his "key player" back soon as game 2, definitely game 3 as it's the Willis Reed scenario. Either way the generals have to game plan with the mindset it's going to go to the third and final act. The generals are halfway home but ain't out of the woods by a Longshot.

Our opening show players presenting looks of perplexity.

Announcer: as we prepare to get our answers for the who will compete for a title and on who will be leaving the fray the answers as to how this will play out remain to be answered.

Off in big blue

Stormz has looked solid to get to the final for some time. But now injuries and a surging bunnies club leave that outcome in some doubt.

Though in club red it seems as if the chefs hold the cards. But if anyone holds an ace up their sleeve it could be crafty 2.

Meanwhile off in the elimination chamber contest both Deronimo and Masters seem well in control of their destiny. While the blasters and generals both could see the complexion of their Tete a Tete change dramatically.

Sybil will have her say. We will take a sneak peak into the MVP race and stay tuned for a special inside look at our upcoming draft class. So get with the flow and get ready to go as it's the semi final Saturday edition of BB2NIGHT

Here Here My Brother Herc wiser words have never been spoken "we both knew we'd get knocked out" When I was on Christmas break and couldn't change my line-up my GS and Euth took a beaten.

I do wish I could of received another playoffs game $$$ but you out-coach me out of that one.

Changes will have to be made for sure - All of our money is looking funny.

Thanks Herc for totally putting the whammy on my boys. But I can't say I wasn't prepared for the eventuality. The big thing is, I know that guy who has been down for the blasters is going to show up. For sure he will be for all intents about "80%" but that kid is going to get a shot of cortisone or what the hell ever, slap that knee inside a sleeve and tape it real tight and he will be out there. And that presence is what you call a true "x" factor.

So it's going to be the bunnies served up for the chefs to slaughter! Great job getting to this point, but it's the chefs time in view.
