SEASON 78
THE WAY WAY WAY TOO EARLY LOOK AT SEASON 78.
SO LONG SUCKERS
We kept seven of the 12 but I don't really think that's such a good thing. However, we lose our two-time defending champion in the Chiefs. They've been dominate in their time span up here from their last group so many of you may say "good riddance." Can't say I blame you as the Chiefs went 70-10 in the regular season and 11-2 in the playoffs while winning back to back GOLD in seasons 76-77. Should have stayed up for their decline year and went for three in a row, IMO.
Others on their way out:
Magua's Revenge - Could not fight their way out of the competitive East although they appeared in a few conference finals (those darn Chiefs and Spiders).
Camelot Red Knights - Got the one win but that was it.
Tlingit Warriors - Made the playoffs with a losing record but are dropping down to build back up.
Grand Rapids River Rats - 2nd time up and couldn't crack the playoffs but they did in their rookie season a few years back..
WELCOME NOOBS
Steel City Kops - ProfessionalKop has had numerous dots on the all league team so let's see how he does with a team loaded with his own builds.
Shoreline Big Gulp Kickers - This team has been in CP numerous times and bring an all passing attack.
Hotties Pride - The Pride have been here before so they know the drill but have no dots on their team from last season.
Granite Peak Grizzlies - Didn't sound like in the S77 thread they would stay so not sure if they'll try to fill the roster or roll with CPU dots.
Austin Longhorns - no dots on their current roster but so unsure of what they have plan wise.
WESTERN CONFERENCE
1. Not Fast, Just Furious - the defending conference champs look to lick their wounds after a disasterous title game appearance...baby steps.
S77 Record: 11-5 (West Champions)
Dots Returning: 52
2. Steel City Kops - Curious to see how this team look as the owner is quite confidence in winning the title. Plus, our very first LGBT team...congrats.
S77 Record: 14-2 (RP)
Dots Returning: 55
3. San Dimas Saints - Won the regular season title and this team boasts the leagues top rushing offense.
S77 Record: 12-4
Dots Returning: 0/55
4. Alabama Yellowhammers - 'Bama went .500 but the stars are aligned for a slightly better season but still will slide down to the four seed.
S77 Record: 8-8
Dots Returning: 52
5. Manhattan Midnight Warriors - Not sure how they stayed up but this is Casual where anything is possible.
S77 Record: 0-16
Dots Returning: 30
6. Granite Peak Grizzlies - Had they kept their roster they likely would have been the top of the heap but not sure the play here.
S77 Record: 16-0 (RP1 champs)
Dots Returning: 0
EASTERN CONFERENCE
1. Sofia Spiders - No CC of no MR so the Spiders are the heavy favorite to win the title this year.
S77 Record: 13-3
Dots Returning: 54
2. Shoreline Big Gulp Kickers - Going to be interesting in the 2-4 spots but the GK should be fun winging it around.
3. Las Vegas Chaos - Another all pass team that could challenge for the two hole
4. Pittsburgh Steelerz 2.0 - They return and should make the playoffs as Austin and HP may not be fielding rosters.
5. Austin Longhorns - Unsure what the gameplan is for the Longhorns.
6. Hotties Pride - Read above, replace Longhorns for Pride.
RECORD SETTER
MK's qb Zach Holton took over the all-time CP single season yardage record last year. Here's a look at the QB's who've thrown for over 10,000 yards (MK with four dots and .spider with two - BB with one). I think that record will be beat this season.
Zach Holton, 12,833 (S77) - MK
Lava Lamp. 12,212.5 (S30)
Tristan Redding, 11,206 (S75) - MK
Boozy Patton Jr., 10,780.5 (S72) - spider
Don Majkowski 10,716 (S37) - MK
MC Eiht 10,526 (S29)
Boozy Patton Jr., 10,465 (S74) - spider
Don Majkowski, 10,389 (S38) - MK
Bier Market 10,305 (S37) - BB
Dwight D. Eisenhower 10,011 (S38)
