And...... we're back!

During our time that Deronimo and the generals spent together in III.5 or as I coined it "slaughterhouse five" I got motivated one night and started doing a bit before every game night called Buzzerbeater2night shortened to BB2NIGHT. in fact this tradition has been carried on by those who are still in that league, though it will be interesting to see if that tradition holds. it is not meant to be some sort of serious breakdown of the games. it's just a fun little exercise in self indulgence and as a opportunity to drop some links for some cool tunes.

before I reboot the series, allow me to explain a little of the entemology of the references.

there will be plenty of references made to our color commentator Alfred Webb (34288932) who was a middling big man for the generals who did not just have a "aggressiveness" trait but who in my book was a cheap shot artist....more like a cheap shot Rembrandt, dude had a notch on his belt for every jock strap he collected. Think a cross between Oscar Madison and a country fried Bill Walton with the grateful dead references replaced by lots of Merle Haggard and Willie references .

On the mic holding down play by play duties is the darling of Deronimo's heyday Lee Thomas (20745076) my first game in the slaughterhouse way back in s31 was against Deronimo and LT lit my boys up. Think of him as kid of a cross between Greg Gumbel and Felix Unger.

I
the term BB2NIGHT is a play on the wording from this comedy classic https://youtu.be/Rm48gbC-NpI

now you will often see references to the shows tout Sybil the soothsayer, and segments such as vox populi. which are references to one of my all time favorite films https://youtu.be/37nkErzdTOA and occassionally a reference to this chestnut https://youtu.be/c91XUyg9iWM

and now that is out of the way, enjoy.

your opening montage consists of teams coming out of the tunnels onto the court followed by some solid action slots of those who are new and of those who are not.

Announcer: the time has come again for hope to spring eternal even at the time of the winter solstice. Sixteen teams start in pursuit of promotion to the show and the glory that goes along with it, for some those dreams will quickly fall by the wayside. But for now we are all on equal footing, lets see who puts their best foot forward


In big 8 action.....

the generals come calling on newly repromoted cyborgs.

Delta comes into the big city to face the chunks

Issaquah begins with ballstars in town

and the storm hits lituanica


over in the great 8 or as we like to call it, club red (Hrudey actually coined that term))

ice man may cometh but it is the nightmare that comes calling

rashmonsters head off to serve as the guests of honor at the debutante ball of Deronimo

love and bullets lock up in a battle of returning teams

and the falcons will look to swoop in on the tigers

Sybil the soothsayer will seer into her crystal ball. Along with segements of Alfreds Angle and Lee's way. And tonight it's another edition of vox populi as you the fans will tell us who you think will carry the day. All that and more is in store, so settle in it's time once again for BB2NIGHT!

**************SEASONS GREETINGS****************

https://youtu.be/x6zypc_LhnM


Tonight's opening montage shows scenes from outside the various venues expressing how each franchise expresses their Christmas Cheer (I envision Desert storm having the cactuses decked out in Christmas lights, here in Greensboro it's a Christmas village with ticket takers dressed as Elves) careening into action shots,

Announcer: A healthy and happy holiday season to you all as we finish the first week of competition with a fine slate of contests. After tonight we will understand a little bit more about who has been naughty, and who is looking nice.

Over in club red.....the nightmare look to bounce back against the bullets.

Rash and Ice meet up in a battle between teams looking for that early leg up.

Love looks to tame the always solid Tigers

and the falcons who have been making major moves in the market will look to fly past deronimo

In true blue

the chunks look loaded for bear, tonight they get their rival Greensboro as the venerable Coliseum will be buzzing over this one


storm it appears is holding a year end, or more aptly a season starting clearance sale as lots of high priced models are available for your enjoyment. though this sell off does not come early enough to appease the iguanas

borg looks to bounce back on the road against the always difficult ballstars

and delta seeks to steer the ship back into the right direction against a Lithuanica squad which surprised many by securing a win over storm on opening night.

Sybil will seer into her crystal ball to give you her prognostications. Lee's way and Alfred's angle will pull no punches. We get a visit from the fat man in the red suit and we will tell you the best way your team can spend their first round cup loot. So hang the stockings with care as all the action is here as it's time again for BB2NIGHT!!

Tonight's opening montage shows the three's raining down from above in slow motion.

Announcer: a change in focus in how the game is called has been pledged from on high with the goal to make the long ball more part of the attack. Refs throughout the buzzerbeater world have been told to enact these new directives. Much has been theorized as to what these changes will mean, tonight we get the first taste of turning those theory's into fact.

Over in big blue


the chunks look to continue to spread their funk as ballstars come to the big apple with a early inside track to the top of the charts at stake

delta and the iguanas go at it in a battle between two teams trying to steer clear of the cellar

cybogs look to break their cherry on the season though storm still looks formidable

and the generals go on the road to battle BC in a tussle between the two teams sitting on that tightwire between relevance and relagtion

in club red

the falcons have been spending like drunken sailors on leave, tonight we get the first chance so see how well their spree will translate into results against the conference leading ice men

deronimo looks to show no love to love tonight in the always tough to play in cassell coliseum

the tigers look to tame the nightmare

and the bullets and monsters battle to stay in the playoff conversation

Sybil will seer into her crystal ball. We will learn all there is to know in a very active week of movement on the markets with our first look at the transfer ticker for the season. Alfred's angle and Lee's way are coming your way, and many other things are coming along on this fine early winter day as it's time again for BB2NIGHT !

your opening montage is solid game action of a highly frenetic nature to reflect the tenor of the opening theme.


Announcer: tonight we continue with the nightly grind. This looks to be a season where there will not be many nights off as it seems every team is taking their best measure to make their top push. The question is who will be able to best make moves and who will find their finances are a hinderance.

In club red

deronimo will need to put their best foot forward to get past the nightmare

monsters and tigers tangle in a battle between two teams riding the highwire act.

love seeks to knock the ice man from the ranks of the unbeaten

and the falcons are trying to see if they can fly the coop of the cellar with the bullets coming to town

in big blue

ballstars went bot, while a couple of mainstays are still on the roster for the moment lituanica should have their way with them

the iguanas continue to make core improvements while the generals are struggling with having the short stack financially

delta seeks to deal with the surprisingly winless borg

and in a battle for the top of the table the storm looks to hold home serve against the vastly improved chunks

sybil will have her say. New editions of Alfred's angle and Lee's way are forthcoming. The transfer ticker looks about ready to explode and we will look further into what caused the stars to suddenly implode. So don't get stuck on the commode as it's time again for BB2NIGHT

Cue: https://youtu.be/o5vFvt3fJpw


tonight's opening montage dishes up some delicious on court concoctions!

Announcer: For some the season has thus far been sweet, sour for others and sometimes bitter as well. Let's see what the tastes are for our competitors after this evening.


Over in big blue....


the chunks look to keep pace with those in the upper division while the borgs continue to look for their first taste of victory.

the storm gets to savor the delight of a free pass against the bot ballstars

delta looks to dish our defeat to the visiting generals

and BC looks to feast on BBQed iguana

in club red....

love looks for a recipe to get off the schnide against visiting nightmare

the tigers look to take a bite out of deronimo


The bullets will look to melt the red hot ice

and the falcons will look to cook the monsters goose to get back to the break even mark

Sybil will seer into her crystal ball. Alfred and Lee will give their lowdown on what is going to befall and the transfer ticker will recount who is making moves and who is apt to sputter and stall. So get ready to ball as it's time again for BB2night

Tonight's opening montage consist of the silly and the surreal. madcap hijinx commence.

Announcer: in what in many ways has already turned into a strange season twist thru the final matchups for the first foray in conference play.

in big blue...

the Borg is looking for answers, the iguanas seek to avoid probing any

the generals get a chance to coast against the ballstars, they hope.

the storm looks to take a stranglehold on the top spot but the niners will look to bring them back towards the pack

and the same exact scenario is in play as the chunks visit BC

Over yonder in club red. .

the tigers look to try and put themselves back closer to playoff contention against the bullets

the falcons will look to fly the coop of the cellar against love


while deronimo looks to avoid the deep freeze of dropping to the cellar with a road trip to ice

and the night mare and monsters matchup in a battle with potential meaning down the line in terms of playoff seeding.

Sybil stares deep into her crystal ball. we will have a check of the transfer ticker. Al and Lee are always good for a snicker so don't go anywhere because the plot is about to get thicker as it's time again for BB2NIGHT
