yes tulsa doom is in for a tough season no dough about it. but we will give it our best effort every game.2 may be realistic but i think we have a shot at 4-5 if we get the right match ups. good luck to all the teams and looking forward to another exciting and competitive alpha season.

There's a lot to be said for great builds,that's for sure but I know it's gonna be a tough season for us since we're the new team here.
You know PRUETER? He's my brother.
Yea we used to be on Southriding Sting Rays together. Me as GM him as a player. I was trying to get some of his guys on my team... but I see why not

Good job with the write up, I would rate our off season recruiting an A on defense and C on offense. We will be relying on our D a little more this season unless we score a last minute big pickup.
I hate recruiting with a passion!

Love the write-up. Also love the fact that we have already tripled our estimated wins. Are you going to do a mid-season write-up, wait for the post-season, or leave it as is so we can look back and laugh?

I was going to wait until the end. Some things I feel I am right on, others I am obviously not

I predict we lose our next game 255 - 0. I also predict some of you all will see us again

Here's what I predicted:
Pre-Season Rankings
1) Burnt Orange Rising 15-1
2) Cardiff Dragons 14-2
3) Dublin Devils 14-2
4) Vienna Danube River Raiders 11-5
5) Bayou Bandits 10-6
6) Lisbon Goons 10-6
7) Rome Wolves 9-7
8) Paris Gloutons 9-7
9) Turin Colonels 9-7
10) Belgrade Bomb Squad 8-8
11) Steel City War Machine 6-10
12) Swedish Glaciers 6-10
13) Rusty Trombones 4-12
14) Tulsa Doom 2-14
15) Barcelona Assassins 1-15
16) Yorkshire Warriors 1-15
Probable Order of Finish (1 Game remaining)
1) Burnt Orange Rising 14-2 : They have a possible tough game vs Dublin but Dublin appears to be on autopilot. (-1)
2) Bayou Bandits 14-2: A game vs a dangerous Barcelona team could be a classic trap game. (+4)
3) Vienna Danube River Raiders 13-3: A gimme finale. Got bombed by Belgrade causing problems (+2)
4) Cardiff Dragons 13-3: A couple early season losses were very costly. (-1)
5) Dublin Devils 12-4: Who knows what this team could have done. (-2)
6) Belgrade Bomb 12-4: The clear Cinderella team. Props to these guys. Could be dangerous. (+4)
7) Turin Colonels 10-6: Pretty much won the ones I thought they would. (+1)
8) Paris Gloutons 9-7: I think Lisbon will surprise them but its too little too late. (0)
I correctly picked 6 of 8 playoff teams, 3 of the top 4 and my total differential was +6. Bayou and Belgrade had much better years that expected and Rome was sacked and pillaged after game 2. Lisbon just never seemed to find a groove this year and that did surprise me. Once the playoffs are set I will go ahead and do a write up on them. The only changes I could see is that BOR could lose to Dublin which would obviously change things. I think that if they lose they would drop from the #1 seed to the #4 seed so you guys have a lot to play for. In that scenario it would be Bayou, Vienna, Cardiff and then BOR. That is about the only change I see that could happen. Even if Paris wins and finishes at 10-6 they lost to Turin so it would stay the same there. I am looking forward to a great playoffs.

Ok so BOR lost and now is the #5 seed. I must have messed up something in there. Dublin now is showing they might be a force in the playoffs. I would like to play them again. But first we have to deal with the Belgrade Bomb Squad. Good luck to all the playoff teams.

The Assassins did much better than predicted (1-15) which we knew we would. Ended up going 7-9.
We'll be much better next season now that we've had a season up in this league after getting promoted.
It's been a fun year!!
Congrats & good luck to all of the teams that made the playoffs and bring it home for Alpha!!
