I wish I could say that this game was going to be a hard scouting chess match, but it really isn't. It's more like an incestuous love affair. Andy and I have already been exchanging PMs, trying to determine how to handle the game. I have no clue how it will come down yet. The only thing that has been decided thus far is that we are both thankful as hell that we won today and that no matter who wins, we both win. Sorry that doesn't make for riveting reading, but it's the reality of the situation. Today was our championship games. The next is just icing on the cake.

D9 vs the Hogs. I think it's pretty safe to lay some stuff out here. The hogs will use their 6 WRs and talented QB to try to slice D9's D apart, but will mix in some HB runs out of the 3 WR set with their more than capable HBs. D9 on the other hand will most likely go 70% run and 30% pass, taking their shots down field occasionally, as well as a few move the chains passes. As I told Andy in a PM. I think it's a coin flip with D9 wining 6 of 10. So, I'll pick D9.

As a complete side note, going to miss you guys next ssn. This has been the coolest league forum I've been involved with since my days in AAA USA. You guys all kick ass and I sincerely wish you the best in recruiting and next ssn. Sorry I failed at pushing anything through to make the recruiting easier for ya, but I'll keep trying.

P.S...final consensus on how Andy and I will handle the game...try to kill the other team

Same here, Steve, It would have been nice playing WWR with a fully equipped team. I always felt like I was playing ya with 1 hand tied behind my back before. It was fun, hell, a blast, but I never expected to win (and didn't). Would have been nice being on the other side of that (not a comment on WWR's talent next ssn, just on the dots we have lined up to come in).

I'll play ya in a friendly if ya want though

and for you first-timers...that means WWR will dominate just as badly as D9 did this season

nahhhhhhhh....With the way GLB works, GRiTs will end up in Lion and WWR will go to Ele, and I wish I was kidding

which brings us back to my same old comment---should have either world or pro, but not both.

I know I'd be pretty bummed... I think RJ would be too.

No disrespect to WWR intended (for a change ), but I don't think that's accurate. When WWR was here last, D9 was the best team besides them in Lion, and we weren't as good as Sahara, Zambezi or CWE are right now. we were 100% a 1 trick pony. You take away our run game, and we folded our tent and went home, and our OL wasn't nearly as good as this one. We had zilch for WRs. I'm sure both Rocky and Moretti would agree that both of their teams are significantly better than they were last ssn, and they'd be right. Next, LOL is going to be a prime age next ssn, as are the Pirates. They are both poised to take very big steps forward. I don't know what the other teams have lined up, but I suspect few of them are planning on getting worse this off ssn.

I honestly believe that next ssn will be considerably harder than this ssn, which had considerably better teams than the previous. This ssn's version of CWE, Sahara & Zambezi would have handed D9's ssn 14 team 3 Ls without question, as there was no reason at all not to sell out to stop our run game. We'd have been a 4th seed at best, instead of a 2 seed...And we'd have had to battle with this ssn's 4-8. I think we would have been the favorites in those games, but not by much. Lion has come a long way. As I said, not a reflection on WWR, just in how far Lion will have likely come in 2 ssns.

For what it's worth, I honestly don't think this ssn's D9 team would go undefeated in the reg ssn next ssn either. As I said, it really isn't meant as a rip on anyone.

I was dead serious about the doing a friendly next ssn, Steve. Not for any assholish reasons. I sincerely miss playing you guys. I know you tend not to play them. So, I'd even be willing to make it a pvt game, so you don't give anything away. I hope you take me up on it.

P.S...If that does happen, where you and RJ get swapped, if you both PM support, you may have a chance of getting swapped back

P.S.S. You know I'll keep bringing it up until you say yes....so, you may as well save us both the time and energy...I miss calling out Randey's D, and then watching him shut me out

Lion is definitely getting better! I see some of the teams are aging, so it will be interesting to see what some of these teams bring in free agent wise! Same with the Elephant conference!

Good luck to EVERYONE in recruiting. It sucks and its definitely not fun...

We'll see about friendlies...
