it appears he may have had a 48 k guy in his face alot tonight but that is not usual for Barr at all.



Yeah, I know. Was just having fun, hoping Illusions would stop by and give him a pep talk. ;-)

Nice recap! A good 1st win for RSAS, it was a nail biter until the last few minutes. I think I dodged a bullet with Davis not starting, but that's how it goes in the regular season: it's tough to put your absolute best line-up out there and still accomplish all the other things a manager wants to do.

A ton of time for things to change still, but right now I'd rank the title favorites as:

Big 8
1- Phantoms
2- VDs
3- TDX

Great 8
1- Michigan
2- Royal Challengers
3- NP

.. with probably either of the top two teams from the Big 8 being the favorite over whoever comes out of the Great 8. I think 4-8 on both sides is a lot more wide open so I'm not even going to attempt those predictions :)

I know it and I have to say that beating him in the relegation was my sweetest moment in this game.

Have to say I was kinda surprised (in the negative sense) how bad the defensive ratings were for our conference. I guess maybe I haven't mentally adjusted from II to III all the way, and it's match day #1 and all, but there were a lot of mediocres and awfuls, and I really didn't expect many based on the end-of-season numbers everyone put up last year. Is this a "punt your first four games" league and I missed the memo?

lol I don't think so not for most that have been here anyways but alot may depend on cup matchups and schedule matchups. Depending on my opponent I typically TIE first game and again depending on the matchup may or may not start all my starters with my future schedule in mind. I think it is more strategy then "packing it in" for the first four.

I'm looking forward to being in a league that uses the forum for once...I wasn't expecting to make it out of league IV last season, so I don't think I'm quite ready to compete at this level, but I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Game 1 recaps

No Potential at Crank
With 55 three pt shots taken in this game what fan didn't enjoy the show. Both teams were firing away and this first game proved to be an exciting battle between both PG's. Beckman for NP had 36 and Pettito for Crank had 33. what a show they put on. In the end it came down to a superior 4th quarter by the NP gang and they stole one from Crank in their own arena 101-99.



I was bummbed by that, I had to leave around the 4th quarter and I was winning 79-68, come back thinking I probably got this, only to find out I lost by 2.

We do use this forum quite a bit. We typically get close to hitting 500 posts for a season. Last season was not near what we usually do. Hopefully Goats will continue to come back here and keep our Hollinger game scores updated. He has some amazing stats.

Yeah, there's definitely a no-enthusiasm/no-GS component to the poor ratings that start each season. And new season ratings suffer in comparison to previous season playoff ratings too because in the playoffs people are more likely to have their best 5 starting, while during the regular season if 3 of their best 5 are trainees, you might not see more than 1/3 starting any given league game. So what's in recent memory (whatever people put up in the playoffs) tends to look a lot better than the first games of the new season.

I know I'm always bummed when I see the ratings from my first game each new season :)
