as David Bowie once sang, Somebody Up There Likes Four Teams from DII.3:

NBBA


DII
Minnesota Vikings at Redbull

DIII
Senecaville at Dominators42
petersburg at Window Lickers
Eugene at cow lickers

it is conceivable that we will have 4 teams in the Sweet Sixteen. wow.

for myself, i play the Corn Growers on Tuesday and cow lickers on Thursday. i have this image of the gym parking lot filled with old pickups and a tractor or two, with the crowd in overalls and the women are named Daisy Mae. i hope they haven't found another hick from French Lick who has perfected his jump shot by using bales of hay as screens.

i was going to write a comment about my game with Lucas -- something to the effect that he was handing me the win by playing Simmons at PG and, ha ha, i outsmarted him by playing my scrubs -- but then i thought about the game a little further:

and i am not sure that my starters would have made up the 23 pt. difference (more if you discount the 4th, even more if Tanner and Jeffries play another 10 minutes, and of course even more if Simmons is down low) --

Lucas has assembled a very good squad -- two USA NT members and a talented young C -- and he may well be the team that catapults this season to the NBBA. i do think he will be tough to beat, especially with HCA. Bruins, Lake Merrit, and the Hawks, beware!

yo, mathew -- i checked with my players and coaches and everyone agreed that they would not have minded in the least if you had sold Begay and Pacheco, say, last week. in particular, that Begay is a very nice looking player. i would think you will have no problem unloading him at your starting price, and would not be surprised if he sparked something of a bidding war.

i just wish you had done this last week!

good luck tonight.

I'll just throw it out there that if anyone, let's say Hassan for example, wants to throw their game vs me due to, well let's say cup obligations, I would be sad that I won't get to face that owners team full strength, but would understand that they must do what they have to do and I'll reluctantly take that win.

Please.

Well, we're guaranteed to have at least 1 in the Elite Eight! Good luck!

yikes: meeting you twice in three days, an important Cup match, fighting for a playoff spot -- quite the drama.

we got a lot to figure out this next day or so -- best of luck!

Not much to figure out - I lose twice. I've already made it farther in the Cup than I ever have so I'm happy about that.

having Nielsen on the bench at the end of the game is very subtle coaching -- i bet the Bruins thought the best player on the team would be on the floor and were surprised when he wasn't!

sheesh.

I know a lot of people think that BuzzerBeater needs an app. I always thought the same, but now I think is the time to really start pushing for this to happen. I just downloaded a soccer game (Top Eleven) to my android, and it's basically the soccer version of BuzzerBeater, mobile version of Hattrick. Try it for yourself, and you'll really see the potential Buzzerbeater has if they made the much needed app. Top Eleven has 10m+ downloads and that's soccer, which in my opinion has less appeal than basketball. There are even other soccer manager apps, so there is competition for TE. There are no basketball managers that are good, so if BB made one I think they could really start to expand this game.
