Lions I appreciate what you do...thanks. No crying from me...we shouldn't have lost if we felt we were No1.

Yaks are the best in the East.

Terror...umm...no.

Man, I would prefer that to be the case. I'm helping out Slimer with his Offensive AI and I gotta say I'm as dumbfounded as he is. Everything tests out OK when we test the AI - it's doing what it's supposed to do. I really can't explain it and believe me if YOU think it's ridiculous, imagine what we're feeling.

Now, I definitely thank you for posting these rankings (really look forward to these!) but one thing I don't like seeing is the defamation of Slimer's character. He is a great owner and a classy guy, and suggesting otherwise just isn't right - even if you can't fathom a reason why we just lost two insanely favorable matchups.

Have to look past just the records too, and consider who these teams played. Windsor and Eden are clearly better than their records indicate due to who they have played so far. The Vampires and Sin were a combined 2-11 when they played Gravenhurst, but those eleven losses all came against: Prince George Bulls (8-0), Hill City Heat (6-2), Sherbrook Generals (6-2), Canadian Bacon (7-1), Manitoba Moosemen (5-3), Paradise Cheeseburgers (7-1), and Aspermont Roughnecks (7-1). I have to give the Ghost Ridahz the benefit of the doubt, particularly as it wouldn't be much of a stretch to envision a playoff team losing to each of those opponents.

We beat Toronto's ass. The Yaks barely beat us. Bacon should be on top, but I am good with wherever. It's all good as it will come out in the wash. Thanks for doing the write up. Actually under your logic of who beats who is supposed to be underneath I would think you would have to put Aspermount up top. They are the only 1 loss team that hasn't lost to another 1 loss team, AND they just beat Windsor pretty handily whom kept it close with the Bacon. Gravenhurst was several games ago, and was just like the Giants slipping up in Cleveland.

ASPERMOUNT FOR #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


THANK YOU Though in all seriousness I think if we beat Yak we deserve to be 1 or 2 in the rankings but not until we beat yak..

8. Gravenhurst Ghost Ridahz (5-3) - I have $100 that say you guys are trying to lose. I'm SURE of it. You know you can't win with who is here now, you're going to stand pat, wait one more year, then dominate next year. Pussy's. Simply Pathetic. Too good of a team too lose too a 1 win team twice in a row



Lol... I wish the "trying to lose" part is true... I'm embarrassed for how I've led my franchise to this point! Seriously, LionsFan, I'm dumbfounded... but I gotta give it to the Vampires and now Eden... it's a clock management game, I guess... in the last two games, we've been "out-clocked" 2:1... they've held the ball for 80 minutes to our 40 minutes... can't score without the ball!

Excuses aside... great write up on us... we deserve all of the criticisms... BUT KNOW... WE ARE NOT TRYING TO LOSE! WE ARE NOT WAITING FOR NEXT YEAR! The two losses are PATHETIC... hopefully we'll show who we are in the final 6 games of the season!


I want too believe you, I REALLY do, but it's SO hard too when you look at those last 2 games. I hope you guys are classy enough to not throw these games though


OK.. now I take offense to what you've got to say.... not your rankings or comments, but the accusation that we're here to "throw" games. Why the hell would we throw any games?!?!? What would losing on purpose do for us... what, a high draft pick in the upcoming draft?!?!?? I see 4 of you up there who can seriously contend for a Championship, from this division... so you think I'm going to sit around waiting for all 4 of you to leave!???!

Come on... talking about class... have some and not make accusations like that unless you've got some real proof.. and if you're going to come back with some "why are you so defensive," crap... save it... if I was throwing games and waiting to "strike" next season, I sure as hell wouldn't be on this thread defending the integrity of my team... I'd just throw them and shut up!

Go back to doing what you do best... writing rankings and analyzing teams... not making accusations and challenging the integrity of a team.

To all the teams in this division... I apologize for you having to read through this bullshit!


Seriously, you lost too a ONE WIN TEAM TWICE IN A ROW.

With that team you have, you should be RIGHT up there with the big boys. When I seen this game, I INSTANTLY thought you were throwing games. We all would get promoted, and you would be alone at the top, waiting too pound on people.

All of that makes PERFECT sense. And in all honesty, it's not a bad thing for a team like you and Concordia too do.

I know it doesn't mean much here, but you can't forget that Eden, Vamps and the Marauder were the top notch teams of the BBB 8 last year. All 3 of us kept the core intact and made a few moves for some big guys so all 3 teams do have the ability to surprise people.

Plus, our coords have worked hard for each game and are excellent and does what they need for the team and individuals on the team

Ehhh...I'd put Bacon 1, Yaks 2, Cheeseburgers/Toronto/Aspermount 3/4/5 depending how their games against each other goes (I would lean Cheeseburgers 3 right now if forced to make a pick...They're very strong and can beat Yaks or Bacon any day of the week.)

Other reasoning:

Yaks beat Bacon by a small margin...but won the turnover battle big.

Terror beat Yaks...but the same dilly...won the turnover battle big.

Yaks beat Cheeseburgers losing the turnover battle by 1...so giving my own peeps the nod I don't feel is slighting anyone.

The final 3 need to play a few games against each other for a legitimate decision to be made...Simple to see that just in the Terror...Come up huge vs. us but screw the pooch vs. Bacon. Very hard team to dial in as far as projection...but they are capable of winning it all...No doubt. Aspermount? Nothing really to go on yet...so anywhere between 3 and 5 can't really be griped.

It will be a sad day if the Yaks bring over one of my other players. In which case Child Support stays to harass you guys even more.

Finally! Somebody who actually has a brain and understands team potential than just writing "meh" in his rankings.

Explain to me how you only beat us 34-6 with your "big boys". By your logic you should have beat us by 80, and dropped another "meh" on us lowly fucking losers of the conference. It's rather comical for how arrogant you are that you don't have a single trophy on your GM page.

We didn't gameplan for your game..... at all for starters.

Secondly, cool man! You have a trophy! That's great, it really is. I've GM'd 3 teams in my life, PCB, Halifax (first year on the team), and another back in the day.

It's put up or shut around here, and I think we know where your team lands, and Gravenhurst.

On another note, Slimer may be the best owner in all of GLB, I don't know, nor do I care really.

But when I see a team of that caliber, lose too some "lowly" teams, that gets me thinking. Maybe they aren't throwing games, maybe they are. But I know what that team is capable of, and it's a lot better than what they are doing at the moment.

I don't particularly like Coach, but Bacon did whip the shit out of us. I still think we should be ranked 4th. Let's hope we put up a better fight against PCB. IMO the Terror game vs the Yaks was a slight fluke. Give me Yaks, Bacon, and PCB in that order.

I'm not saying we can't win it all, I'm just saying the three teams I rank above us have a better chance. Now... should PCB lose to us, we deserve #3.

I do think any of the top 4 can be upset by 5-8 during the first round and at least one of them probably will get upset. I just hope we're at least #4 to get that playoff money. It has sucked balls trying to get this stadium thing turned around from the previous owner.
