Ok bud, we get it. You didn't care. Now can you start not caring enough to quit posting this everywhere? That'd be great.


Trout has also made about 10 posts to let everyone know how much they don't care about winning.

Like I said many times, you have PLENTY of built in excuses (no time, didn't boost, didn't think it mattered, only testing stuff, only interested in winning your league, etc etc). Everyone knows the excuses for why a team would lose in this tournament. You don't have to remind us 10 times.

Because there is no way that *any* of these 64 teams would lose if they cared and were fully boosted. We get it....

And the teams that won, would have won by 40 more points if they had cared/boosted.


Glad we got that out of the way now so every team doesn't have to list their reason and everyone can keep their high opinion of themselves.


yeah but people think they are good for almost beating a team that didn't give a shit about their game. just because a good USA pro team didn't even try and won by 3 points against some WELP JR. team doesn't mean that USA PRO sucks. what it means is NOTHING AT ALL lol.


When all of the games that have been played so far knew their opponent for 2 weeks and they couldn't find 30 minutes to put in a decent gameplan, then that wreaks of ARROGANCE to me. There is no reason to screw around and "test" things. They could schedule a friendly against a team owner they actually know and test things alot better on their own. They could schedule 25 other friendlies between now and the playoffs. Why ruin a chance to show how good their team is?

Again, only thing I can think of is ARROGANCE and large EGO. I'm sorry.

I'm sure for some people that 25 FP's is a huge deal and they can't afford 25 cents to schedule any other friendlies. For them, that is understandable. That certainly isn't the case for Vanilla Thunder though.

To know the opponent for 2 weeks in advance and then to come in and say you didn't have time to prepare and then say that you didn't care like Doc (who I like), just doesn't fly with me.

Most of the people who are coming up with these excuses have the problem that their team isn't fully boosted. I understand that, and since I believe level matters alot, I think it is a very valid excuse for losing in itself. Just say that. Any boosted team in this tournament can beat an unboosted team. That doesn't make them "better". See Galaxy Aces vs Cobra Kai for a good example of that.

So just let people know ahead of time that you were unboosted (which the Trout and DDL have done) and then just try your best. You can save a generic template for all teams and come up with a decent 15 minute gameplan and save it. At least I can. It isn't very hard.

These are all quality teams with quality builds in this tournament. I may joke around, but there is no shame in losing to any of the teams.

The Cartel took down the Brute Squad this morning:

8/15 at 06:00 - http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=125262 (Cartel win 56-28)


USA Pro is now 1-3 vs Canada Pro.

(USA Pro is 5-2 against all other leagues).


The best teams in USA Pro have yet to face a Canada team though.....so that should be interesting to see in round 2 or 3.

17th is still fine. I'll have them accept or get another team in there by this afternoon. They get a little more time because they let me know what is going on.

The other 2 slackers (Korb, Millens) are being replaced right now.

The Arctic Yetis (an original selection) are back in.

I'm not going to have them play against Tim Harper (their GM and QB) in round 2, so I'll give them the other spot.

Yetis need to schedule their game ASAP.
