my laugh of the day +1 for you sir

Oh, yeah, I am an Indiana resident. I went to Wake Forest, so that's the genesis of Demon Hoosiers.

If you'd been from West Lafayette, you could have gone with Boilerdeacons.

Nice write up as usual. Two things I would like to address-

I dont think Swanson upset me in the playoffs last season. After losing to Dong at home with great enth and my best lineup, I considered it a foregone conclusion that he was going to the finals. Considering that I played hard (CT) in one of my final games to ensure I would get the second seed for the home revenue in the playoff game. Considering my enth was shot I knew I would lose to Swanson in the playoffs, he had a very solid team and much better enth. I also paid one week less salary by losing in the first round (I think, I havent paid much attn to the changes the last few seasons) Kudos to Swanson for the win, he earned it.

I dont think I can be considered a contender this season either. I have pretty much blown up my entire roster except for 2 players since the Dong loss (giggle) and am currently trying to buy cheaper and American. My roster was just too costly, I was losing about 12k per week all of last season when I got bounced from the cup, and I was at best the third best team in the league. Hopefully by interconference play I will have my roster set and not put myself too deep in a hole by then but what happens happens. Depending on how my purchasing goes (not well so far) I think a 3-5 place finish is in the cards for me this season.

OK, tough, insert some silly vowel riddled comment below

FYI: First power rankings will come out Wednesday. One game is pretty much worthless for my averages...

Highlights from the weekend:

#3: Extra Crispy down 4 after 3 quarters, then takes the 4th 29-12. Great finish to the first game. Fans should like that.

#2: The individual permformences of Ignacio Nogueras (Cathar) and Clifton Davis (Natellio), who went for 44 and 43 points, respectively, in decisive losses.

#1: The Door Mats. Win by 19 over a very good East Gary Eagles team. Granted he used more effort, but well done. Hopefully a good sign for the squad.

Power Rankings are here! After only 2 games, this will likely change a lot. But here we go!

Big 8 Average Rank: 6.125

At least one tanked game caused a big anomaly in there.

True enough. Traptors are a legit contender, but are benefiting from their first two games being a walkover and a tank from Eclypze.

Dear Smedlock, will you tank against me on TV in 2 weeks? Thank you.

On a personal note, I'd just like to point out that I have a good possibility of starting out 0-6. I will never play Beau James in a scrimmage again. Even if it does hurt his game shape.

Careful, now. There are some sensitive people in this series concerning that subject

Call 'em out. I'd like to know who gets butthurt over what without having to read all the old posts.

Haha, I was kinda joking. Last season Eclypse and I had a little tiff because I said he was laying down for specific teams and he called me a crybaby. If you were to remove all complaints and all brags from the forums there would scarcely be anything left to read.
