So not one of you sumbitches could be bothered to lose in the first round of the Cup? (I'm looking at you, Cassville). If I weren't so goshdarned pleased with the number of high salaries I see being shipped out of the league, I'd probably have to draft a very sternly worded rebuke to the lot of you. I haven't looked at the second round draws yet for the most part, but in my Charlie Brown voice: "I got a bot."

I tried to lose. My being in or out of the cup will have little to no impact on your season however.

Speaking from experience last season, loosing this early in the cup is a financial disaster. Let's face it, at the Div II level, you really need to make it at least to the All Star breeak.

This season at least, the Cup is a nice bonus - the promotion bonus to attendance is serving me quite well so far. I'm just hoping that I can leverage that and a decent Cup run to hopefully build out my arena a little more to hopefully have the capacity to still make solid gate revenues once that bonus wears out.

well, it would appear that if you want home court advantage come playoff time, you better beat Delta because no one is going to catch them in point differential.

I'll certainly try to help. I'm confident that I won't lose by 96 at least.

I sort of look at Reston like playing the Celtic's of the late 80's. You know that they are "over the hill" but they scare the crap out of you because you still expect them to win, especially at home.

If BloodyEagles and Dog River see them as a team worth putting in the extra effort against, that's pretty solid validation of what you're saying.

Thanks, hrudey, for the compliment, but to tell you the truth, I'm very rarely certain—even an hour before a match—of my lineup or my tactics. Ardain has been a very successful manager with a very envious record for such a long time that it's paramount to give his club your respect. To fail to do so invites trouble:-)

Well said Pappy. I thought if I kept it close through 3 I'd have a chance to pull away in the 4th. Younger legs and all that stuff. Instead Reston explodes and run's away - while we where both playing at the same enthusiasm level. I really admire and respect that team.
