When in doubt, or when time constraints dictate, just go for the funkyness of Eumir and you can never go wrong.

Announcer: Tonight the clash between the conferences continues as we are in that part of the schedule where teams often are deciding what is more important, league or cup, and it is those decisions which often color the results for any given evening. In the opening salvo club red held serve winning five of the eight matchups. Tonight we change to big blue venues, lets see how the change in scenery impacts the results.

Since the chunks are out of the cup they can let it all hang out for the league, while the nightmare still has to navigate those roads.

love takes a trip to the desert to face the always formidable storm

the falcons will finally be put in a position to fly the coop with bot ballstars on tap.

niners and ice meet up in a intriguing matchup

the iguanas are out of the cup process while the tigers still have a heartbeat in that regard so I expect both sides to spend efforts in that manner appropriately

the borg looks to bounce out of the cellar while deronimo is desperately seeking to avoid ending up there

BC is still in the cup conversation while bullets has spent their shot, how this influences matters will be interesting

and the short handed generals will have to decide what is more important, an extra 50k or trying to put themselves in position to stay in the rarified air of d2, the decisions of each game have distinct impact on both those fronts.

Sybil will seer into her crystal ball. We will review the transactions of the transfer ticker. and of course Alfred and Lee will find something to bicker over. So don't touch that dial! We are about the bring it all to you in style as it's time again for BB2NIGHT!

Always enjoy League forum game time takes on the games.... keep up the great work always fun and entertaining.... and yes the Borgs need to get out of the cellar.... we are competitive just need to find a way to get the W

you got one last night, much to the chagrin of my former long time league mate from my d3 days.



Don't know how I managed to scheme that one last night. Copeland still on the shelf, did not factor Taylor into the lineup, Caraccicolo fouled out after 18 minutes and Lousteau laying more bricks than a habitat house. Yet we stayed close, Lousteau got hot in the final minutes, the last five minutes were bonkers with the lead changing hands practically on every possession. Lousteau with a little runner with four seconds left for the winner with the monsters running out of time without getting off a shot. Somebody get Harry Kalas or better yet John Facenda back from the grave https://youtu.be/-5JN8b1bU_U

Tonight's opening montage focuses on the one on one matchups with the emphasis on the physicality of those matchups. The jostling down on the blocks, players setting up/fighting off screens etc.

Announcer: As we near the midpoint of the campaign the battle could not be more even as discounting the results from the free pass that BALLSTARS represent for club red the ledger is completely even.


Tonight we have matchups across the board that will continue to show where each side is standing.


BC and nightmare knock heads as the visitors look to solidify their standing and the host have their eye on their sides top slot

and the same scenario plays out between storm and ice though with the roles reversed

Deronimo desires to get out of the cellar but delta has designs on becoming more a factor in the big 8 title race

the chunks visit the monsters with both teams sitting on that fence between relevance and relegation

the iguanas and bullets also battle in a matchup between teams in the same position

love gets the free lap against the stars

the borg and the tigers tussle to try and stay clear of their respective cellars

and the generals go to visit the falcons in a potential preview of relegation series to come

Sybil will seer into her crystal ball. Alfred and Lee get us ready to ball. Of course the happenings on the transfer ticker will always give us a future indicator on how things might fall and much more is on call. So settle on in as it's time again for......BB2NIGHT!

UGH !!!!!! Another game another loss just right there every game..... just need to find a way to get over the hump...

well at least your still in the cup. In fact all of you who were entering tonight still are....except me :( and I went down in the cruelest manner possible, the proverbial "Dusty finish" as I like to call it where the game is decided by a foul called as time expires. It has happened to me in the cup alone I think at least 4 times, maybe 6. Seems every 6-8 seasons a kick in the nuts like that happens to my squad.

But even though our cup run is done, I do have a invested pulling interest in next week's shenanigans. You see the old rival, the team the generals have literally played to 50 times before, your friend and mine Deronimo will visit the Raleigh Senators managed by my childhood friend Coach Thompson who I literally have know for in essence 50 years ! Proving once again, much as Marin and the designers think all of this is random, this game is sentenent and has a mind of its own. but hey hokied, at least your team will save on travel costs amiright?

I keep trying to figure out if you're super brilliant, and have a comedic flair like Dennis Miller, where most of it goes over the average person's head... Or if you're just illiterate :-) lol. I keep thinking I have you figured out... And then your next sentence sways my opinion completely the other way again :-)

People have been trying to figure me out for years. Hell I'm trying to figure me out. To appropriate a line from from Forrest Gump ( since my team did get knocked out by a team representing Alabama), maybe it's both. However it does not matter if I am a genius or a fool, I roll like I roll for my own self gratification. As for Dennis Miller, I always thought he was far too clever by half. Me? I've always sought more of a Andy Kaufman vibe.

Ha perfect response for that

Tonight's opening shows the coaches chewing on various refs and players asses and the accorded responses in relation to the lyric cascading into heavy duty clashes at the rim etc.

Announcer: Tonight as we hit the midpoint of the campaign much remains to be answered with one of the big questions being how the various teams still in cup contention color their choices with a jaundiced eye towards the Thursday proceedings.

The chunks and falcons however are not two teams who have to bother with any of that. But both do have a lot of issues with the others in the standings surrounding them

deronimo and the storm both get on the surface manageable assignments next week which should leave both with plenty to expend from the well for this matchup.

ice gets to go into hibernation mode with bot ballstars

the tigers will have a tamable opponent in the tourney. Delta not so much

the nightmare goes on tour for what should be a manageable experience but the iguanas are stuck at home watching it like everyone else, which means they would like nothing more than to poach one from the nightmares cabinet.

Cyborgs is still in the cup, but they have a rather large hurdle to climb so their attention may well drift towards dealing with the already cup eliminated bullets

we can be assured of one thing thursday night, not all of us can make it. if for no other reason than love and BC will be playing back to back with a cup clash on thursday and with love sticking around like a hit movie held over for a return match in league play 48hrs after that. Now lets see how that affects each teams dispersal of talent against the already deposed generals and monsters.

stay tuned for another segment of Sybil the Soothsayer. We will see what the transfer ticker has to offer. And Alfreds Angle and Lee's way will discuss whatever it is that either feels is a bother. Plus it's another round of vox populi and a very special segment featuring the finest in home court cooking as it's a league wide taste test of the various treats and confections in our leagues finest arenas a coliseums. So prepare to for the thrill and the shill and everything else that will as it's time again for BB2NIGHT!!!

7 berths in the "field of 64" and the two who didn't were those resigned to their fate. And I would need to take a second look but it seemed like no one was seriously headed.

Great work by those still alive. May the seeding gods be kind.
