Beat the Thumpers and your in. I'm actually quite content sitting in the 3 or 4 seed right now. I think that my attendance revenue will be better on the road than at home.

Yea, if I win or if Dog River loses, I'm in. I don't think there's any way I jump past you given your last game though.

There are 10 teams with a chance to win the title. Even the Relegation series are comprised of really good teams. How very competitive things are becoming ...

I am stuck trying to figure out who is more insane. Me for placing a 800k bid on a 250k a week 34 year old center earlier today, or the fact that several people kept on bidding.

Or to clarify, is it worth seeing my team's payroll jump to 850k plus just to have a shot at going back up to Div I.

Interesting. I guess you're the only one who can make that call.

Absolutely shocked at the prices people where paying for 32-34 year old low post players making over 200k a week. I had honestly intended to make a 2nd major purchase this weekend and give Vertical a run for their money. Bids exceding 800k for a 34 year old center, over 1 million for a 33 year old power forward, etc. Was just to much to stomach.

I can't say that I'm disappointed that you didn't add a player.

Prices always seem to get crazy before the playoffs. In an effort to beat Bullish Mentality a few season ago, I spent way too much on $200K+ guy (10751231) on the Saturday before the playoffs (even though I couldn't really afford him). My plan obviously didn't work...and it took me a season to recover from the damage:

Transfer 4/28/2012 19 Purchased from yigidospor for $ 853 700
Transfer 5/12/2012 19 Purchased from 10inch Vertical for $ 94 200


For every one time a guy successfully comes out of nowhere loads up at the end, defies the odds and promotes, there are 4 times where it blows up in the guys face. If you think about it, most of the time the championship comes down to 1-2 maybe 3 teams that were ahead of the pack all season. With HCA being as strong as it is in this game, it's tough to to do enough at the end to overcome a quality team's HCA.

I think the market did Calfson a favor by boxing him out :-)
