the world rankings are very strange -- if i beat some DIII by 75 points, then my ranking falls. but losing to the Heroes boosted me some five places in the world rankings. i figure if i lose a half of dozen more times to you, then i could be in the top 10!

Peace is War! Losing is Victory!




Last night was #9 Arizona @ #7 Yorkville

Yorkville didn't play their best team, (semi punt) and we got the road win. So I drop to #10 and Yorkville dropped to #8...I was passed by a D2 team. I would think any victory over an NBBA team is worth more than a victory over a D2 team. Ohhh well :-)

one interesting aspect of the B3 tournament is i get to see a variety of top-notch teams. the team i face this week, the Donkies, is from the Netherlands. Their team salary is over $1,154,000 dollars. And their DMI is over 21 million. the only other team i've ever see with such a DMI was King Drive Ballers many seasons ago, who also topped out at over 21 million. Their arena seats 29,550, but the team dates to season 3, and that may be the reason for that large number. Nevertheless, despite the size, their revenue is only a bit over $400,000 for the last game! they have only one NT player, so i don't see how they are not bleeding money. plus, apropos of comments above about world ranking, they are only ranked 142 (although they started the season ranked 591). anyway, a bit different from what i have seen in the US of A.


What's 22 million DMI get a guy? A 22 point loss!

Congrats on the win!!

thanks for the note. i think the game only proves the theory that HCA > DMI.

Yin and Yang coming up: the champs of Costa Rico, who is ranked a good bit lower than anyone currently in the NBBA, next week, followed by the Venomous Scorpions, who have two world titles and currently rank at about the same level A-Dubs reached at his peak.

reflects the current state of the NBBA.

i think we may need to make some adjustments for old age -- perhaps change the shot clock to 45 seconds, change R&G to Shuffle & Shoot, and have a doctor that "provides vitamins" or "provides oxygen on sidelines".

i was surprised by the Cacti defeating the Heroes, on their court, no less, but then Arizona turns right around and puts a key player on the market.

i'm wondering if Procta's supporters threatened someone's kneecaps as retribution, and Dunkface decided to send him out of town for protection?

Schneider just isn't a great system fit and I'm going to try to upgrade the PG position to someone who's not such a liability on offense... is what the Witness Protection Program instructed me to say!

It didn't seem like my team performed that badly, but more so the Cacti played that well. And good GDP/management made a crucial difference. Time for some soul searching and a turn around (I hope)
