I certainly agree that the Big 8 should look to get comfy. Slatington Serpents have to be the favorites to promote this year. They have an expensive team (not to mention pretty darn good) and can't really afford to not promote.

I am just happy to be in the hunt. I don't have nearly enough money to truly compete in this league and I am sort of glad because it allows me to build my core slowly and earn my stripes the hard way. Steel sharpens steel.

My goal is to pick my battles, upset a few of the more talented teams and keep improving surely and steadily. My first batch of trainees is still baking in the oven and need another season or two to be DivIII capable. They are finally to the point where they aren't a liability on one or both ends of the floor. They aren't always assets, but definitely aren't hurting me anymore.

The one thing that provides motivation for me is the big 8 doesn't have any really talented young players. The teams are pretty much are what they are except for new transfers. I think this will allow me to tilt the scales at some point.

good luck guys, I am going for a shot at promoting as I think my team is ready for III (minus a few forward upgrades once I promote) and my salary is very high so if I don't promote again I will be in a bad spot somewhat. I got 1 good draftee but I am selling him because Im not ready to train forwards just yet, I still have another season before I am happy with where my 2nd guard trainee is.

I got a tough game tonight though, hopefully I can pull of the upset against the Serpents!!!
