Well the season is starting to shape up and the fight for playoff spots is heating up.

I have been all but silent on the boards (I did not know we had them LOL)

I will say good luck to all East and West and I will sign off until after the playoffs begin.

Great game to the Tornado Humpers. They are every bit as impressive as their record. We're just thankful to come away with the victory. See you guys in the playoffs!

I'm very happy how my team played today (Orlando). I was certainly worried going into it.

I feel the Double T Red Raiders got completly screwed today. We are fighting for a playoff spot, and we go against the Cincinnati Stallions who just yesterday had all 10's for chemistry. Wake up this morning and they are at 71 Chemistry across the board. So I ask, most peoples answer was that it might be a new owner, well he's owned the team for quite some time. Then I find a post he made THREE weeks ago saying he bought a gutted team, and many people think this why he go reset. Either way to reset his chemistry in the middle of the season with playoff implications on the line, is just plain stupid.

We lost the game 24-26 so don't try to tell me chemistry isn't important. Their QB went from a 48% passer to an 80%. And to make it worse, the owners idea of getting a gutted team was a team full of CPU players...which you tend to have alot of when you buy a brand new team. So again I say we got screwed.

/rant over

Did you bother asking him, without trying to make him feel bad about winning? By your own admission you don't know all the details. Not saying it doesn't suck to lose that way, but if he did in fact get it reset by the Admins, he's already appealed to the highest court in the land & won... the best thing you could have done was held off on venting until you got some info from the source. I doubt he's much inclined to tell you anything without rubbing your face in it now though after you called him out in the conference forum.

I know I put my foot in my mouth already about the Stallions, but look at them now:

6 Million dollars? and a squad full of good players? Like I said I'm almost sure that the original owner was using them as a farm club, so the "gutted" team may have been accurate.

I don't know, but something doesn't seem right to me here. But whatever...

Not to stir the pot but I would kill to have $6 mil in the bank. Our roster and stadium aren't too much higher and that's over six times more cash. That's a hell of a kick back.

Still, we've already played the Stallions and they're no threat to us. They'll still have to win games so I'll leave it at that.

um how the hell they even make that much. Mytotal income for the entire year so far is only $4,646,653 that includes all ticket sales and concessions. Not only do they have more money than it was possible for me to make they have also spent about 2 mil on stadium improvements as well. I mean we are all first year owners here right? So unless they have some sort of crazy loan out its total BS.

I agree that it is somewhat suspicious

Here is the thread I started on this, http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=257796&page=last#1812434.

I received an email this morning (which is in the thread), from one of his team members basically telling me his team was never gutted, and sent me a copy of something their owner said. He basically went on to say that he trys to sell all of his players and never releases them.

Oh well, not much I can do now, just thought I'd share my frustration.

IMO new ownership in the middle of a season never helps team chemistry ..... it takes a new coach at least one offseason to make his changes in his personel and his teams approach to a game........ this is true in real life correct? Or you may have one coach in actual history to better his team in season( preferably playoff decision time). Anyway I would agree that a chemistry change in late season is highly improbable. Sorry for your luck guys that sucks.
