It's the start of a new season, and everybody knows what that means!

It's time for the ever so trivial, but always convivial, PRESEASON RANKINGS!

Great 8
1. Philadelphia Phantasm: Don't let his name fool you. There is no virtue here. He will not only kick you when you are down, but will also erase your recordings on your DVR and dent all your canned goods. These ghostly fellows are hoping to disappear from DIII.4 sooner rather than later.

2. Running Red Wolves: To buy or not to buy that is the question. With the 7th pick in the draft, he raked in a a cool 2.7 million. They say money is power, and Packpower is now packing... power.

3. Deadwood Gunslingers: Have you seen this guys arena? Well if you do go see it, make sure you plan the whole day, because it will take you that long to tour the Saloon.

4. Flashover: After losing it all at the betting tables of last season, GForce was scared for his life to return back with same name. So he changed it. Some say the new name has meaning. Here are some theories: It represents his hopes and dreams of promoting last year, but in a flash it was all over; It represents his team getting to the semifinals for 3 year in a row, an thus having flashbacks, which he would like to put an end to this year; It represents the fact that he is a super villian and would like to end Flash Gordon's life.

5. Michigan Blasters: He loves to talk about the draft, but not much else is known. Just like his team. Its a wild card.

6. Gremlins: Nobody has more dedication to game recaps than Gizmo. He single-handedly kept the IV.53 forums alive for many seasons, but now he is ours!

7. Gimme The Hot Sauce : You heard the man (literally his name is TheMan... well with a 10 on the end) if you have the hot sauce hand it over. He likes things spicy like a Taco Bell taco, and like the taco bell taco, he is hoping to run right through you.

8. Royal Challengers: Will this be another tanking season for the kingly Conquistadors? Usually having your top five players up for sale is a good indicator of that to be true. sparrow must be planning another season of flying low. Does this having anything to do with Packpower's big payday?


Big 8
1. Barbarian Marauders:
Nobody loves silver more than Ramquizibo. His trophy case is full of them. His drawers are full of them... Oh wait that's silverware those aren't trophies. Nevermind

2. Hansen: He runs a solid team. It looks like he didn't train Usman Adaba last year which is frustrating. What a waste. just ask Packpower how useful good rookies can be. Go ahead, ask him...

3. LBC Soldiers: With Gary Haydock gone, his team will rely on a new player, Khadim Sarr and Gregory Snowden. Can They keep the ship sailing, or is there stormy weather ahead.

4. Bunny Humpers: Although this team is known for going out into the woods and molesting woodland creatures, it is also a noticeable fact that they can actually play basketball. Its also been rumored that Cliff Pringle has a chip on his shoulder.

5. BuckNuts: I think I crossed the line enough with the Bunny Humpers, I would hate to know what these guys do.

6. Tachenko: In case you didn't notice from the bold in the team's history post, kokka's been in this league for 16 seasons. He has seen alot of teams come and go, but he never has. Now that is dedication.

7. az warriors: The only promotee to not talk on the forums is putting a larger target on his head for doing so.

8. PuffPuffPass: Like a cloud of smoke this team is likely to be gone, his small arena will be his undoing.

The rankings look right and a little generous for my team. It is good to see someone else do the hard work. It is not easy to rate new teams that we have never seen in action. I have the 12th highest team payroll in this league so I am looking at a relegation series.

IV.53 at one time had an active forum but the chatters were promoted. 5 of my former managers and I played together for the previous 6 seasons so we knew our teams very well. One of them is entering his 17th season in IV.53.

I was not alone in my forum as somebody was reading and rating 171 of my posts. When I put up a poll at the start of last season 13 managers voted.

A manager who writes excellent posts is a 14 year old kid in IV.29 with the alias Tough. He has been on Buzzerbeater for only 3 seasons and already has 322 rated posts. You should see his posts in IV.29 and his club presentations on Basketballzone. By coincidence I am playing against his team today in bballzone.

I see plenty of action here without the need for any of my recaps. This league already has 63 posts while my old league has 6. I’ll see you on the court.

Winners never Quit. Quitters never Win.

New look team. I don't have a PG. Running a new offense. No perimeter D really, cause I sold my two defensive studs, but in exchange I got a nice big man and some trainees (though they will be of no help to me this season). We'll see what happens.

Good write-up. I will say I invested a good sum in upgrading my arena. I am planning on making and staying in Div. II, at least at some point. I am trying to be smart with the money. Good luck to everyone this season.

Nice job. I'll be a work in progress for a while yet as I rearrange my roster. And, I refuse to overpay for players. It takes about 20 bookmarked players for me to sign one. haha

Thanks Lemony! I think they're just scouting him for now, but one of my goals this season is to get him on the U21 team

@Ramquizibo Nice writeup but I definitely wont be last. Planning on expanding The Greenhouse in the coming weeks

I never said people didn't read them (even I had read them), but if you didn't write them then your forum would have been basically empty.

A manager who writes excellent posts is a 14 year old kid in IV.29 with the alias Tough. He has been on Buzzerbeater for only 3 seasons and already has 322 rated posts.


I am well aware of tough. I am estimating that he has probably posted 3,000-5,000 times, so he better have 322 forum balls. As to the excellency of his posts... If you are excluding any sort of spelling or punctuation in your rating system, I guess his posts would be okay.

I see plenty of action here without the need for any of my recaps


I am very sad to hear this.

Yeah. Win 3 or 4 tourney games (hopefully) and do a mini expansion
