Game 19 tonight, the season is coming close to an end, and the playoff battles are heating up tonight.

Starting in the Great 8
Pixies travel on the road to play Rat Brigade
Sofeugg does battle with Flash Mashers
Phantom Thieves get a night off at home vs LA
BucsBlue travels to Detroit who is looking for another win

In the Big 8
Two 10-8 teams clash as CC Mavs travel to Columbus
Quarantine Age visits a reeling San Diego team
Joao Felix should get a easy win over rival Pittsburgh
And the game of the night features Caerbannog Bunnies visiting the Indy Crusaders.

Biff and Gus have plenty to talk about. On the injury front Frank Lake is out for Detroit. Transfer news, Columbus has acquired Ling Yanming and Pittsburgh has just made a bid on San Diego’s John Johnson. What a disappointing day for Johnson. So now it’s time for BB2NIGHT!!!

Well that is it boys, with the loss today I am the first team team to be officially relegated. Now the question remains who will take over BB2NIGHT for next season?

The battle for the 4th battle in the Big 8 is extremely interesting this year.

João Felix FC and Columbus are tied in standings and point differential for the 4-spot. Both will play Indy, San Diego before ending the season with a potential deciding game against each other.

CC Mavs sits a game behind, but has a relative cakewalk of a schedule. They get to play the 2 bottom dwellers of the conference. They also have to play the Bunnies, but it is a home game.

If CC can pull out a win on Saturday, things get really interesting. It will most likely force João Felix or Columbus to steal a game against one of the top 2 seeds AND win their last matchup of the season. If only 1 attempts to steal with a CT, the teams are so closely matched the other team will surely be favored as the victor. If both do, they'll be on equal footing at the end but will have an uphill battle for their playoff or relegation match.

But even if the Mavs lose against the Bunnies, they still have a decent opportunity to get in by running up the score in their final 2 games while João Felix and Columbus are slugging it out in 3 very competitive games.

As I previously promised I was going to do the playoff scenarios this season with the final games remaining. Indy graciously broke down the battle for 4th place. However right after he posted it, Columbus bought at 102k a week Big Man. That should further complicate things. Now for the other battles
1st in Big 8
Indy vs San Diego will decide the number 1 seed when the play each other soon
1st in Great 8
Phantom vs Flash will likely decide the 1 seed when they play each other two games from now
5-8 Great 8
5. Pixies 5-14
6. BucsBlue 4-15
7. Rat Brigade 3-16
8. Los Angeles 2-17
These teams are all alive fighting for relegation spots. The winner aka 5th place will host likely Quarantine Age with a good chance to stay up. 6th and 7th will have to face an uphill battle on the road. If pixies go 3-0 they get fifth. LA needs at least 1 win to avoid automatic relegation. But realistically need all 3 to survive. In terms of point deferential the order is this. 1. BucsBlue 2. Pixies 3. Rat Brigade 4. Los Angeles.

Game 20 tonight, each game means more at this point in the season, well... except for me.
Starting in the Great 8
Phantom looks to beat up the Brigade
Sofeugg has little to play for against BucsBlue
Detroit battles Flash on TV
And the Pixies get to host LA

In the Big 8
Caerbannog faces CC Mavs looking to bounce back
And Pittsburgh plays Quarantine Age on TV
And tonight something crazy happened, for the first time ever,
We have a tie for the game of the night, so we will have co-games of the night
The first one pits Columbus at Indy
The second one is Joao Felix at San Diego

Biff and Gus have plenty to talk about. Pittsburgh added a prospect for their D4 campaign. And Columbus added a 102k a week power forward. Talk about making a statement Columbus. We will see the new man in action vs Indy Crusaders tonight. A few minor players are still out for numerous teams across the league, and Detroit guard Frank Lake remains sidelined. So without further adieu it’s time for BB2NIGHT!!!

So you beat me, and now you want to fire sale! Good Game Coach Feelthepressure

Sounds like someone was trying to play spoiler for the Big 8 race

In the end, I did end up playing spoiler and certainly affected the race for fourth place. However Coach Law, my fire-sale had nothing to do with our game. It had to do with the Buzzerbeater playoff acquisition deadline, in an attempt to maximize the value of my old players whom I would not keep next season in D4.

I owe you an apology Coach FeelthePressure - I can see how my post came across as Sour Grapes. I was being funny (forgot to put my LOL in there). I just got my buttocks kicked. My youngsters are learning and getting the experience needed for next season (hopefully I will still be in D3). Good Luck to your Coach FeelthePressure.

Also I would like to thank you for BB2Night. I took over for a couple of seasons when Coach Gam was promoted. I know how tough it is. I appreciate the work. Oh, no I will let someone else keep the tradition going next season and help out if asked.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and stay safe.

I hope everything had a Happy Thanksgiving, but it now time to return to action for the final regular season game of the season.

We start in the Great 8
Flash Mashers should get an easy vs Rat Brigade
Pixies and BucsBlue battle for 5th place
Phantom plays at Detroit tonight
And the TV game is LA at Sofeugg

In the Big 8
Pittsburgh plays their last D3 game for a while at Caerbannog
Quarantine Age travels to CC Mavs
Columbus plays Joao Felix in a game for 4th place
And the game of the night is the battle for 1st in the Big 8. Indy at San Diego

Biff and Gus have plenty to talk about. After missing last game’s commentary, we had Flash beat Phantom to basically clinch the Great 8. We had on the injury berker canbolat got hurt and then transferred. Benoit Petit out for Felix. On the transfer front. Pittsburgh sold 4 old guard and bought one new younger one. Sofeugg made a few sales too. So now for everyone that is left. It’s time for BB2NIGHT!!!

I will announce the final power rankings today. I will include the person ranking and how each team has improved or not throughout the season.
1. Flash Mashers, 12th to start
The Flash Mashers proved me wrong from the start, however once they got their nearly 500k payroll no one was going to stop them.
2. Phantom Thieves, 4th to start
The Thieves were strong all season and may still have enough for promotion
3. Indy Crusaders, 16th to start
The Crusaders proved me wrong more than anybody else. Although it was flash that commented on my “win and move up” quote. Indy followed through on it.
4. San Diego Eagles, 1st to start
The eagles started out amazingly well, then fell off finishing 18-4
5. Caerbannog Bunnies, 2nd to start
The Bunnies were the exact opposite of San Diego, they started out 0-4 and then clawed their way back
6. Columbus Comets, 5th to start
The comets were a roller coaster of buying and selling like the stock market. But it was enough to make the playoffs
7. Sofeugg, 7th to start
A team that finished where they started. Sofeugg is in the Great 8 playoffs
8. Joao Felix, 6th to start
Yes, the big 8 was tough but failed to make the playoffs after losing to Columbus
