Tonight's story: Revenge of the Big 8.a clean sweep across the board, with the exception of GH - Arizona.
well, to be accurate, i posted the note at halftime, when you were trailing, by two or three. impressive night for you guys.
i get the spirit in which you replied, but to offer a serious retort, at this level, a given team's capability is quite hidden for all kinds of reasons and decisions. i have more or less gone through the Big 8 portion of the schedule with incredible luck -- both you and Hoosier (twice!) made our contests walkovers for your own strategic reasons, and so got destroyed in PD but i know damn'd well that if we were to meet again, especially on your court, with no injuries, then the results would be quite different. there is an Olympic sport involving bicycles on some sort of track -- could it be called "bicycle race" or is there some funny name for it? -- where the cyclists go around the track for most of the race at this slow pace, gently jockeying for position, and then BAM! the gun lap comes and everyone pedals like mad and the race is over. that is how i see the every season in this league -- we are getting to the gun lap and the several coaches are making their calculations and it doesn't really matter if you have 11 wins (like GH and Upsyndrome) or "only" 8 or 9 (like you and the frozen Allstars), now the race for HCA or a favorable seed in either the playoffs or relegation begins. +o(
I wrapped up the round robin of the B3 at 6-2 and unfortunately that isn't going to get me through to the next round. It was a long shot but I was hoping to sneak in. Such a challenge to keep up with the foreign teams!
