That's a bit presumptuous, especially since Heidelberg has barely managed to eek out a few of their games...


LOL! We've eek'd out 34 in a row (in meeting 2 new leagues.) What do you have after all these seasons ... Silver in A?

EDIT: Congratulations! We'll be waiting for you in the BIG's.

Yes because loading up on high level players and motorboating through A and AA is a major accomplishment, get the fuck out of here. Looking down your nose at other teams will cost you in the end, mark my words.

EDIT: Last I checked, getting promoted twice in 4 seasons and never finishing below 12-4 weren't bad things. So we haven't won a shiny gold trophy, there's a lot of damn good teams out there who haven't won it all yet(see Williamsport Soul Reavers, for example). Who the fuck do you think you are?

Your name is kinda appropriate isn't it?

I think he is a man with good connections. I don't believe he has had to do all that much recruiting because of the awesome networking he's done with the right loyal agents throughout the seasons.

For what it's worth, Flame, I can tell you who I *know* I'm not; a guy who talks smack. But when someone with as little knowledge of the game as you makes a remark to one of my players who, by the way, isn't taking shit and just stating his position, you can bet I'm there. Thaak has been respectful in his postings here, unlike yourself.

If you want to look down your nose at our accomplishment of "motorboating through A and AA" then what does that say about your franchise who hasn't?? You ought to check your history to see where we've come from before you knock on who we are and how we've gotten here. Consider your first history lesson free; Heidelberg doesn't look down their nose at anyone (and never has.) Maybe that's why we have accomplished what we have?

I know there are a lot of good teams that never won "a shiny gold trophy" ... speaks volumes of those who have, in my opinion.

Last I checked, getting promoted 2 times in row and going undefeated in the process, not to mention carrying a 51-2 record during that 3-year span, is a pretty decent accomplishment. Excuse us if we're proud of that ... and feel like we've been slighted by the "BCS computer" this season.

It is starting to look like Playoff time around here... all this chattering will end soon, as well as many teams seasons... at the end of the day (season) there will only be one team that is smiling... and all this BCS shit will be put to rest.

Best of luck to all teams.

Cheers from Windsor.

Rofl, you're blowing this so far out of proportion. I was merely saying that it was a bit presumptuous to say the Hitmen and Mystics were going to meet in the championship. It may have been unintentional but that came off as very cocky statement. Not that I care to tout the Mystics at all but they've convincingly beat every single one of their opponents, in a few games this season you guys have barely managed to squeak out a win, kudos to you but that doesn't guarantee that you'll be able to crush all of us again come playoff time.

So if you want to run around defending your players for making presumptuous statements such as that then be my guest, however you overreacting to a rather harmless comment on my part has started this argument. Not to mention I didn't bother to stoop to the level of personal attacks. I mean I haven't heard the whole name rings true type deal before, how clever, I applaud your profound insight. Stuff like that is completely unnecessary and I'm not even going to bother to go down that road once again.

Suffice to say, chill the fuck out.

dude, you are the one who flipped a wig first.

Sure, I was talking a bit of smack. It was good natured and not insulting (to anyone who isn't hyper sensitive).

Then you response stating that Heidelberg isn't worth anything because they "motored through A and AA." I'm sorry, but the number of consecutive victories, whether a result of good recruiting or not, is still a valid mark of success. I mean recruiting is part of the game right? Why should anyone be looked down on cause they are good at it?

You are the one who started this part of the argument, so Mongoose wasn't looking down his nose at you or other teams who haven't gotten gold, rather he was defending his own record by comparing it to yours. He's obviously doing something right with the number of wins right?

You are the one being inflammatory, and being overly sensitive. So I think that your statement, which I'm going to quote here, applies to you, not us:

You know, I pondered whether to respond to this. My mind followed to trains of thought.

1. Ok, so this guy just posted something that will gain him satisfaction and in his mind make him look like the better person to others should I respond.

2. Ok, so this guy just posted something quite sophomoric in its intellectual credibility. I mean seriously, does he think he's going to win the argument simply by saying we are now idiots if we respond again?

And so I decided I wouldn't address him directly. I wouldn't respond directly to the notes above. Why?

Because usually the person who is being aggressive and belligerent during an argument, and then tries to end it with an equally belligerent comment, is the one who feels threatened.

Nuff said.
