A few minutes to kill.....
We're still here, and there was a Black Friday sale . Its The Game that woudn't die.
looking through the teams tonight for the first time in a while makes me wonder who is really still here. Not that i care either way, because WL is still competitive. We're playing for free p much, and I still love seeing my dots knock a ball loose, make huge hits and break tackles. Still enjoy seeing the Indy Boyz around, alot has happened in 8 years. I never really cared who came and went outside of my own org. Everyone who ever left thought the game wouldnt survive without them and posted about gloom and doom. Gotta give Bort credit, he said the game would still run as long as there was players. So 50 seasons now, and no end in sight. Fine with me. pretty effortless these days
So I see what Bort (or somebody) did there, Made one of the conferences super-crappy so more teams besides DS owned will make WL next season. Alpha is loaded with DS, Indy and GB. None of who are going to put out much effort until the postseason. I'd say more effort goes into team building these days than anything else, there is no avoiding that. Have to fill the teams, and when you're 79 is ready its still sparks interest in builders to see how they'll perform at the highest level.
Congrats to jlrock and the Razorbacks for their S50 Championship. Well deserved and legit.
Good luck to all the teams
Alpha
#1 Odessa - DS the favorite to win
#2 Carthage - Odessa Lite will be fine as well. needz more chopper to be as good as odessa, but still better than the field
#3 Indy - Indy looks like shit early. Didnt get a qb. Need some new blood, working with the tail end of the last wave of farms. havnt looked good at all for a few seasons now, especially in the playoffs. Not going to demote though.
#4 Grand Banks - decliners will decline as the season goes along, but will probably get enough wins to stay up. Dont see any players coming up behind them so probly the end of the road for Grand Banks? Maybe the last team with the staying power and pedigree of DS and Gurupies They got a Ring this time around in S49.. Not this season tho.
#5 JJ - I wouldnt be surprised if Jackels did enough to stay up. DSL is a talented and motivated owner in a WL landscape of slackers
#6 Cinci - DS #3 is taking the bullett in that org. wont have the horses
Zeta
#1 OFG - DS is most likely paying some attn to OFG since Zeta stinx so bad
#2 Multiplicity - I wont get on this bandwagon yet. But will probly stay up. Havnt done much in postseason outside of Pro
#3 Razorbacks - Last seasons WL Champs off to a rough start but will be fine. Rough Chem. Could see them going back to Champ game out of this conference
#4 Burnside - will probly do enough to stay up, certaily in this conference
#5 Warthogs - The other DS team in the conference wont make much noise
#6 Cobden Muskrats - doubt they'll stay up but wont be for lack of effort
