weird things i have found about teams in this league:

-- Kentucky's Frank Tanner is a seven foot PG

-- half of California's 10 players are from either the Bahamas (7 active teams) or Barbados (5 active teams)

-- the Bruins' home page is pretty cool

--both the Bruins' and The King and I have all-American squads.

-- II.1 has 14 teams ranked in the top 100 nationally, but only one team still in the Cup

II.2 has all 16 teams ranked but only 2 are still alive in the Cup

II.4 has 14 ranked teams and 7 still in the Cup tourney

we have 12 teams in the top 100, and 4 teams still alive in the Cup

Ok which one of you gave Rdkin the idea to CT me? Magiker? Yankeesman? Steve probly huh, CTs everyone. II.3...you have been a thorn in my side for too long! I see how it is.

Had my SF been healthy I think I would have won. Oh well I'm out of the cup I'm not good enough for the playoffs time to sell of all of my players and start over. This should be fun.

Not me....

wow. magiker has just made a major move. i admire these gutsy, all or nothing moves -- it seems to me TKI has decided this is the season to make the NBBA -- or bust.

Apfel does not come cheap: his purchase prices was a hefty $867,000 and his weekly salary over $200,000. with this purchase, and the selling of a $50,000 a week PF, TKI will have a salary about $100,000 a week greater than the Bruins. i don't see how magiker doesn't bleed cash for the last several weeks of the season. additionally, thanks to the changes brought in this season, he will have to raise Apfel's GS from its currently dismal level in only three training updates -- little room for error. finally, the way things now stand, TKI has run the table to get the HCA for the playoffs.

but TKI this season has been, along with the Bruins, the league's premier teams. they have been winning by an average of 29 points a game, are quite deep, and now have this huge presence in the middle of the defense and offense. apparently Magiker is hoping he has brought in a player with sufficient heft and talent to at least neutralize the Bruins' awesome inside game. if TKI can take care of the Bruins -- the last game of the regular season, and on the Bruins' court -- then they might just pull this off.

i wonder of Solana Steve will try to counter this move, or hold . . .

Wow...I was shocked I beat Eugene this week.

Not sure what to do about TKI's swelling payroll....

among your team's many strengths is your key player's experience levels -- i thought i had you when it was close going into the 4th, but your guys wouldn't fold on the road.

i don't have any idea how to beat you at your place.

i don't have any idea how to beat you at your place.

should correct this before i give TKI some bulletin board material.

i don't have any idea how to beat you at your place . . . if i get that far.

Super T-Rex went bot.

and i thought i was paying attention.

Wow....... that's a shocker!

Yeah, caught me by surprise too. I don't remember anymore how many weeks/financial updates you need to be inactive before going bot (I wanna say 6 weeks, or 8 weeks?), but just looking briefly it looks like he was still making line-up moves at least since 7/27 (although I suppose he also could have set a bunch of line-ups in advance). I kind of was wondering if something more wasn't up and digging up this cryptic old quote of his from earlier this season also makes me think maybe he got in trouble for something?

You did a lot of research to my team and thank you for your kind words.
Actually I made a wrong move so my team might get into trouble for a very long term.
Besides, as the effects of the modified game engine has not been fully evaluated, I am not sure if my team is on the correct route. At least, I can not see any significant improvement of the block in my last game. (1 block happened when I used 2-3? That's too bad......)
