Warrior General Games

Whaaaaaat?

I love this league, the prediction/preview threads, the slanderous love for one another, and the tireless effort to get better.

I've just been too busy solving the headache that is the former Glasgow Doom. I've spent a lot of time getting this team ready for some semblance of success

No doubt, there are some amazing teams in this league and we are just trying to stay par for the course. That said, we may have our first shot at the playoffs coming at the end of the season. We started the season against some heavy-weight teams! I sold off half the team to bring in revenue for next seasons stadium.....but not too many to kill our playoff hopes....and Eureka, we've won 4 of the last 5!

That's right, we just might make the playoffs guys! If we win 3 of the next 4 and Amsterdam does their part in losing (sorry to wish ill will but you've got a tougher end of season schedule - Dayton, Helsinki, Athens, etc) the next 3 of 4....we just might have another shot at the #1 team

I know its a long shot....but you gotta win little victories when you're in the trenches against a bigger and better opponent. Here's to Easy making the playoffs in their first full season of ownership.

Congrats to all of you sitting at the top....damn good teams! It will be fun to see which of you wins it all!


ALPHA CONF PLAYOFF SEEDING (PREDICTIONS)

1) Athens Nighthawks - with 4 easy games left they can pretty much write their name into the #1 seed for the playoffs. Enjoy the homecooking also as you might see either the Red Lights or Easy in game 1.
Remaining Schedule Results: 4-0; 15-1 Overall!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Amsterdam Smokers - no doubt this is the #2 seed and they are capable of knocking off #1 in the finals, if both teams can avoid the GLB playoff upset! The Smokers lost to Burnt Orange Rising and Canterbury CC so who knows what will happen in rounds 2-3 of the playoffs? The must do their part to beat Amsterdam Red Lights and finish the season strong against the Sooners!
Remaining Schedule Results: 4-0; 14-2 Overall!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Canterbury Crimson Crusaders - this team will scare anyone in the league as they seem to pull out excellent gameplans for each opponent. They do, however, have some suprising losses which shows the ownership doesn't mind taking risks. If they can hold off the Avalanche and Rebels, this team could finish the season 4-0 and 13-3 overall.
Remaining Schedule Results: 4-0; 13-3 Overall
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Dayton FnA - Dayton has struggled against the top teams in the league, but not by much. They are a favorite to knock off one of the top 2 teams in the playoffs but will need a perfect game to do so!
Remaining Schedule Results: 4-0; 13-3 Overall
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Helsinki Devils - Helsinki will finish the season 3-1/12-4 overall as they have a tough matchup against the Longhorn Legion across conference matchups in game 16. It will be a great game and one that determines where they'll be in the seeding! HUGE GAME for the Devils!
Remaining Schedule Results: 3-1; 12-4 Overall
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6) Burnt Orange Rising - They have won 4 straight and have an excellent shot at making it 8 straight as they have the Sprouts, Bastards, Huskies, Monkeys and Tormentors to end the season. Here's to Burnt Orange Rising!
Remaining Schedule Results: 4-0; 12-4 Overall
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7) Arlington Avalanche - This is another team that is 3-4 key position players away from being one of the best in the league. Their builds and depth are not the best and it typically shows late in the game. Arlington is an excellent team that could lose 3 of its remaining 4 games as they line up agains The Crusaders, FnA, and cross league monster Gangsters. That said, they have an excellent shot at upsetting a #3=#5 seed in the playoffs with good gameplanning. Avalanche will meet up with the #2 seed which isn't really fair as this team is much better than their #7 seed.
Remaining Schedule Results: 1-3; 10-7 Overall
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8) Can we say it yet....NO! Easy Company and Amsterdam Red Lights will be in an all out battle for the #8 seed just for the opportunity to get stomped by the #1 seed. Both teams are playing for the pride of making the playoffs - I like our chances, that said, anything can happen between now and the 22nd of October. Easy needs the help of Helsinki, Athens, and Amsterdam to beat the Red Lights down to #9; while Easy Company needs to take care of business against the Huskies, Monkeys and Assassins....can they do it!? Does it matter?....EASILY a YES!

You have done a great job with your team, I remember seeing you around the players forum and no-one would sign with you, glad to see that has all changed.

We like having active owners like yourself. I would like to see every week 4 or 5 great games instead of this one maybe 2 we have now.

I echo what ultra said. Active owners def make this place a lot better.
I'll try to get back to posting regularly as well.
BOL to you for sure, glad you got a shot and are being rewarded for your effort.

athens will help you out when we play red lights

Very nice work on the playoff seeding. When i make my week recap i am stealing this, hope you don't mind.

No, I don't mind. Just plug my name somewhere so it looks like I finally contributed to the league - I've enjoyed a lot of your posts and really enjoy the additional effort including your humor.

Thank you!!! You guys have a really tough team! Congrats to you also for an amazing job! You've got some monsters on that team!

Putting my post together now. LOL you will get full credit. thanks again.

Yeah we definitely drew the short end of the stick when we got stuck with Longhorn Legion for our out of conference matchup. It's a shame that the home playoff game for us will most likely be determined by that game. CCC threw a monkey wrench into our chances when they beat Dayton and Smokers.

My hats off to you as well.

I remember when kpstanley threw me the keys to a 0-16 Burnt Orange Rising offense a couple of seasons ago. Recruiting is hell and working the bugs out even tougher.

I have tremendous respect for the job you have done. I was happy to go from 0-16 (pre me) to 6-10. You are staring at the playoff's, thats big time.

BOL to you, unless its against BOR of course .

Won't lie saw that and thought "they got screwed". Hey Dayton was in that spot last year though and they won, it can be done. I think you guys are as good as anyone though and have a chance.

Can't apologize for beating those guys though. We needed some wins badly.

Great job on your predictions here.

Alright. Good to see our owner jump on the forums.

i have a feeling my team may take the game too lightly as we drew the #1 seed in the Zeta conference the game prior and you guys have a very solid squad...our seedings are pretty well set (at least 1 - 4) due to tiebreakers, so losing the game doesnt necessarily make or break our chances, but by the same token you dont build a dynasty by not caring about each and every game...best of luck to you guys, i will be looking forward to a very tough matchup!

Well Easy got another win And REddy lost again, going to be very interesting....
