Luzod - NAN is NAN. May be in, maybe out of the playoffs. They are great on what they do, but they hardly ever get convinving wins against anyone, as their defense is not constantly playing.


As weird as that sounds about a playoff team, its kinda right on. We had 1 convincing win that got us near the top 25, and that was the Alpine game, then we barely lost a few also(not including the dismantling done by GB, and the TO frenzy that was LVG) but I really think we are going in a great direction. Our offense this season might be the most dangerous passing offense in the history of USA, we have that kind of talent. But it all comes down to how we run the ball. If we can run it well enough I think we are a top 3 team in the East, if we cannot we will be 9-7 8th seed again.

Defense on the other hand, is original...Cactus71 and I have been working hard and we have a very nice thing going right now. I think we will be, much improved this season.

Basically, Luzod is 100% right in his prediction and will get a more hands on look at us on Wednesday

you can't blame all our losses on the defense, offense was turnover city last season after the passing game changes

Well done committee. Looks pretty accurate to me, but I'm sure there will be plenty of surprises.

I didn't have time to enter one, but of the guys that did half ranked about 5th and half ranked about 12th. Seems many don't know what to do with us.

Good stuff... The celebrity softball comment is pretty hilarious. Liked that. Luzod is a hater, but he's right about the Chem... Can't see it causing us to miss the playoffs though, and by that point, all bets are off....


I am a believer in low chemistry hurting, but mainly because I need an excuse to our 1-4 start in Season 8 (conference championship appearance) and our 0-2 start in Season 9 (Champs!).

Both seasons we started with chemistry in the 70s.

Hedgehogs below Richey and SDD our A6 bretherin? Crazyness imo.

Thanks for the rankings though.


hmmm I know it's pre season but didn't you just get your asses handed to you by Richey?


Um... Its pre-season?

Garbage tactics are in there, and tbh our 2nd and 3rd pre-season games will prolly be 100% run then 100% pass. I'd be shocked if we didn't go 0-3 in the pre-season and I don't think it has a whole lot of bearing on anything...

Though, of course, Richey is definitely a very good team regardless.


Dude if you went 0-3 wouldn't that be 13 straight USA PRO loses, not that there's anything wrong with that, just asking the question

Their corners seem to be seriously lacking FWIW.

I don't dismiss that it will have an impact... Yet there ARE certain ways one can circumvent the issue with proper preparation and planning...

8. Indianapolis Gurupies
JTD - pulling in FAs from the gutted AAA powerhouse that was Margaritaville can only help Indi. This could be an aerial attack to rival that of NAN this season.
coachviking -
jtserb - All Gurupies will be turning 56 this season. Team has enough money for all to be fully equipped.



Damn, Gurupies left coachviking speechless.
