Nah, we still have Xerxes!

Ah the irony of that comment.

As a result of a recent, shall we say unusual situation, Xerxes has decided to take a season off and will not be participating in our wonderful league next season. This makes me both sad to see an original league IV.7 player take a step back, but also joyful, as now we have the opportunity to recruit a stone cold killer to really bring it to the XBB.

This highly secret information I am now ready to reveal for the first time (well it should be the first time if a certain bigfishy could keep his gills to himself) that the new member of the IV.7 Calamari will be...drumroll...

razkaz of the City Celtics.

This makes our IV.7 family the following:

yodabig d3 1-0 up in finals
naker virus d2
abigfishy d3 1-0 up in finals
lukebee d3 1-0 up in finals
possumpete d3
xerxes d3
ezlife d3
kangle4 d4
iwen d2
robhoe d3 1-0 up in finals
ezyfrag d3

and now

razkaz d3 1-0 up in finals

It seems the theme of our team is to be 1-0 in the division III finals, we have 5 of the 16 teams in all of Australia that are in that situation. Statistically we all probably wont all win but it is an exciting time. Potentially PossumPete could be the only competing IV.7 team not in division II next season. However the season after we somehow need to make room for ezlife, ezyfrag and Xerxes at least and possibly Kangle4 and Neeber too.

We have done our best to make the two teams much more balanced this season and are looking forward to a much tighter and more intense competition.

That is great, City Celtics is a great team and was one of the teams I feared back when I was in div3. It was his own undoing that I was fortunate enough to promote to div2 and be in this position.

It is also a deep loss for us all cos we do not get to enjoy the antics of the Immortals anymore. But I'm sure he will still continue to follow these forums and add a few meaningful words once and in while.

With all you guys in div2, I'm pretty certain you will wipe us clean in the EPL style format (no playoffs). So yes it will be a lot tighter and more intense cos every game actually counts now and tanking games will be frowned upon. =P

The way I see it is this... even if XBB are not the favourites anymore we will give it our all... if we go down we will go down kicking and screaming..

I dunno what else to say to my boys really,
4 seasons of our BB career all comes down to this moment
either we play as a team or we're gonna crumble, play by play til were finished.

We're in hell right now believe me, and we can stay here and get the shit kicked out of us
or we can fight our way back into the light, we can climb out of hell, one play at a time.

On this team we fight for that ball, on this team we tear ourselves to pieces
and everyone around us to pieces for that ball, we claw with our fingernails for that ball,
cos we know if add up all those possessions that's gonna mean the fucking difference
between winning and losing... Between living and dying...

I'll tell you this, in any fight, its the guy who is willing to die who is gonna win that ball
and I know if I'm gonna have any life anymore its because I'm still willing to fight
and die for that ball, cos that's what living is.

You gonna have to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes,
now I think your gonna see a guy who will go that distance with you
you will see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team
cos he knows when it comes down to it your gonna do the same for him,
that's a team gentlemen... and either we play now as a team
or we will die as individuals... that's BB guys, that's all it is...
Now what are you gonna do?

Do the dinosaur.

hahahaha you jackass

i feel inspired

in fact i think i got semi hard

"Tomorrow Belongs To Me" - Nazi Anthem from Cabaret

:D

i loved "any given sunday" as well koops
hahahahaha

that was a kickass speech from Al Pacino!

thats right best f'n speech in the history of mankind, Al Pacino is a legend in his own right.

and Vittoria make okay coffee too

ahh so thats where the gibberish u were going on about from eh hahah

We have done our best to make the two teams much more balanced this season and are looking forward to a much tighter and more intense competition.

hahahah the irony of that comment is that you guys have recruited 3 extremely good teams to replace the teams you've lost. After complaining about us getting Pablo its funny how the new guys are either in Div II already or just about to make Div II.

I see a huge imbalance already in Season II. We will still only have 2 Div II teams, whereas IV7 could now potentially have 7.

im not backing down from a challenge, but the fact you girls compalined about us getting Pablo is nothing in comparison to the recruits the Calamari's got! hahahah (Oh yeh, if one of you guys are actually a girl, then I understand your whining & complaining & only direct it to the other guys in your conference!) :P

Just because a team is in div 2 doesn't mean they will be stronger, especially because they will often have lower enthusiasm than you because they can't afford to play TIE every game. Div 3 is generally really easy, so you can play TIE almost every game and promote. Also many div 2 teams might tank because they can't stay up in div 2.
So overall I think it will be close. Although IV.7 will smash you guys up in the end!
