Yeah, this division does not have the drama it did last season.

I knew this season was gonna be a bit rougher on me than last one so I'm honestly delighted to be sitting 4 games ahead of relegation, regardless of how I got to this point. My ticket sales have not lived up to my expectations this season, which has really put me in a budget pinch if I'm being honest. Hopefully winning my TV game last week will help boost the numbers a bit, bc I really need to replace some of my older players over the next season or two if I'm gonna sustain the level I'm at and keep moving up in the world.

And the thing is, I expanded by 600 seats since the start of the season. But I'm still making less than I was on day 1 despite having more seats because I keep losing so many road games.

But the thing is, the rotation I brought in for this season, half of my main rotation players were hastily cobbled together over the course of about a month when I realized I was going to win my D4 league in S56. If I CAN get the finances back in order and actually buy the best players available, instead of just who's cheap and convenient, well, wins may just get a little harder to come by in this division.

Not very seriously. I do have a couple of guys that I plan to make into backups but I've found it faster and easier to just buy guys off the TL. Only problem is that bc my ticket sales dropped so bad (Only two of my last 5 home games broke $150K when I'm used to being around $160 even before the expansion) I'm running short on cash. But things will turn around; I'm not losing money, just not gaining it fast enough. I'll be okay.

Well, the good news is I won by 17 despite my most dangerous scorer going down with an injury in the first quarter.

The bad news is my biggest perimeter threat is gonna miss 2 weeks.

The good news is thankfully I've already pretty much locked a playoff spot; would have to really blow it down the stretch.

But the bad news is, that DOES pretty much guarantee the win streak I'm on ends next Tuesday. Fun while it lasted!!!
