not that you fcking deserve them in this lame s64 WL forum, but you get em anyway....
I actually wrote you all up in preseason. but then I got buried at work,
and this forum was boring as fk this season so I forgot about it.
then we sold enough wine over these holidays to keep the mid-atlantic region drunk until Spring.
so I have some time now to give you the Ranks. its vacation time in the booze industry
not that you guys deserve it, I havnt seen World League so dormant in all the years ive wasted here. And what was the energy thing that happened?, and days where we didnt get training points for the youth. Wheels are falling off, i expect we'll see more of that. I had to buy some flex last season, i think i'd be mighty reluctant to do that again. These glitches are Big and strange.
brace yourself for the End, im here till the lights go off, but GLb cant keep fking the games up, thats a no-no. buy more hamster wheels or something
So i'll give you more stuff to ignore and then some more after that.
i wrote these in preseason, game 1 or 2
I'll make some follow up comments on the current situation, but as you can see, and as always, The accuracy and insight of the early ranks is (astonishing and uncanny)
I hear that the highly ranked teams here get +5 confidence
Anyway....
these are from Preseason

WMD and Burnside are back and Im well aware of what they can do. Everybody who stayed up is good, bottom line. and some good teams went down HHWC and Benitos
I dont do these just for you knuckleheads, it helps me prepare so I dont have to do anything in regular season. until we lose 2 inarow anyway. And one of the glorious things about World League for the New teams, is that you get your team evaluated and you get your name in lights. Theres at least 4 or 5 guys that read these

The world league perennials are all good now. The field has leveled. The things that go on in the games are stagnated and random more than ever it seems.
and what the hell happened to the Conferences? I'm pretty sure they were different last week. Did some teams move?
Congrats to Tomcic and Miami on the Championship in S63. Passing in a run world. that was a solid gameplanning Ring. Ive always said you need to be REALLY good to throw games, so we already knew Tomcic was good. That was a masterpiece, and they didnt have an easy road. Beat CN and Jersey. i didnt watch but wins are wins and the Ring is all that matters in these fading years of the Game.
well done Miami
__________
At first glance, Zeta looks top heavy as hell with Jersey, Miami and WMD. But they also got the 2 noobs
Alpha looks pretty even and very good top to bottom
_____________
Alpha
Indy-7 rings
mighty fcking sick of the Ring drought, i've been pissed off every offseason for awhile now. But Indy is an elite perrenial World League force. a fcking frieght train to the #1 seed almost every season. great loyal builders and farm system. they wont be going away.
cherokee nation 4 Rings
Cherokee like s to hang around the top too. Bowed out early in the playoffs last season though even withthe Nachos. they also excel in regular season even in a deep conference. Looks like they brought in some youth and no 480's so should be solid again.
Nomads 0 Rings
honestly the Nomads almost went back down last season. they lost 4 of 5 meaningful games down the stretch, thats not a good sign. Pulled out a win vs benitos to stay up but that just the Benitos curse. still always a formidable opponent at gametime, but a little shaky the last few seasons
Auburn 0 Rings
Auburn looked done last season, and then went on a blistering run in the Conference to stay up. that was pretty impressive. didnt do much in the playoffs but a new team that came up and stayed up, good to see that anymore.
HOOD - 1 Ring
cardiac end of season for hood, lost 6 of 7 down the stretch and then got it done vs HHWC to stay up. they have moved a farm in and are fully reloaded. they even have a couple Boozers this time. Yea, Ive owed Larry players for a long time for the Championship guys he's built for me. gotta pay your debts in this game. solid coords in Tomcic and farlig so could be a team to watch this season
Burnside 0 Rings
welcome back Joe! This is a world League team that deserves to be back. ran the fcking TABLE last season in pro and sent STEEL packing in the USAPro champ game, with some help from the Curse of the Dirty Sanchez. good team that hangs around in the middle of the WL pack usually

Zeta
Miami Reigning champs 2 Rings
I have to give Miami the initial #1 rank because of their amazing post season last year. however, I dont think they'll stay at the top of the division, so they're rank will change soon. but they deserve it right now. Its an explosive team that has adapted to the run game and still has a great coord and passing attack.
WMD
welcome back! they looked pretty damm good last season, dominated Pro. but Miami smoked em in the Tourney. tough conference but I think they'll hang
Jersey - they were looking stellar at the end of last season, but then Miami got em in the Playoffs. they done seem to effort regular season too much but when they turn it on, theyre tough to beat
DC Freedom - They shut me up quick last season with a blistering start and then went to the champ game. Well done guys! shouldnt have any problem up this season in tis conference
Volograd army - whats not to like about this team? if ever a team deserved a World league shot its them. they play everybody, beat good teams, and give effort. got no money though, that'll hurt
Cobden - somebody has to be last
