Actually, you're 8-3 and in 4th place due to the tiebreaker.

MikeVic · 11-26-2007, 10:34 AM

I haven't really been keeping up. My training is the same, same lineup and strategies, and same recruits. I've been checking once in awhile to see if any of my recruits came to me. Looks like that bastard Randy Dexter made up his mind. What are the odds someone puts a bounty on his head?

Coffee Warlord · 11-26-2007, 10:39 AM

Son of a bitch.

Know who got Dexter? My coworker sitting right next to me. Why oh why did I tell him about the game.

vex · 11-26-2007, 10:55 AM

Coworker is code for a dupe account.

vex · 11-26-2007, 10:57 AM

Not sure if you noticed, but Dexter didn't even tell us where he went in our PM boxes.

Coffee Warlord · 11-26-2007, 11:13 AM

Yeah, I haven't added that yet.

BishopMVP · 11-26-2007, 11:29 AM

Ugh, 5 recruits who I've offered scholarships, all ecstatic/scholarship offer is not wasted, and 3 of them signed for other teams.

It's weird, I got PM's about 2 commitments last week or the week before, and it wasn't even guys I was recruiting, and none this week, FWTW.

Oh, and 10-1, #7 overall. Only loss came when I forgot to change my defense from a 2-3 to a 3-2 against a Perimeter team.

Mr. Wednesday · 11-26-2007, 05:00 PM

NU is up to 10-1 with a tricky game coming up on Wednesday. I noted Dexter's commitment with bemusement. Fortunately, none of my targets have gone elsewhere yet, unfortunately none of them have committed to me yet.

TargetPractice6 · 11-26-2007, 05:28 PM

5-star SF who wanted a conference powerhouse just committed to a 3-8 team over my 10-1 Nuggets. Ohhh well.

It's okay, we'll take very good care of him

illinifan999 · 11-26-2007, 06:13 PM

Could we maybe only get signing announcements from guys we are recruiting?

Anthony · 11-26-2007, 07:52 PM

yeah, i second that. i get excited seeing all these commitments and then i get sad seeing Dean Houston U didn't get anyone.

After annihilating EU by a whole point. At home. What happened?

k0ruptr · 11-26-2007, 09:26 PM

That bastard Marcel Hammond didn't sign with Honolulu.

Mr. Wednesday · 11-26-2007, 09:27 PM

Bad matchup. They played us tight in the away game as well. Their big men don't score, but I think they defend pretty well, because they held Chapman well below his season scoring average. (As well, they closed the game on a big run, we had previously led by more than ten.)

Katon · 11-26-2007, 10:40 PM

Ah, I'd missed the closing run. I was just suprised by the scoreline when I looked at their recent results ahead of Wednesday's game. I hope it was interior defence that helped them out against you, since that's not going to help them much against my lot.

Mr. Wednesday · 11-27-2007, 04:39 AM

Well, Chapman averages 14.8 and only scored 8, and that's with EU playing man-to-man.

Hmm.

They played three guards and a small forward at center... two of them are at least reasonable height-wise, but one SG and one PG are both under 6', they should be abused by a good center, particularly in a low post offense.

Rob?

Tasan · 11-27-2007, 07:06 PM

woohoo! got my 4 star SG, Alexander Iribarnei. I'm happy now. Lets see if I can nail down some other decently talented guys.

Coffee Warlord · 11-28-2007, 07:57 PM

dola,
Any reason guys are listed as Top 50 national players with 0/0/0 stats?

mauchow · 11-28-2007, 10:30 PM

Gahh..

A 2 point lead with 53 seconds to play turns into a 7 point loss. Ouch. 9-3, we'll be on the edge of the Top 20 now.

It goes by ratings, not stats.

The bot teams apparently have some studs that don't get playing time.

Yeah, we just keep rolling along. Our closest win was by 14 points and we have two 40+ point victories so far. I got lucky with a group of really good seniors so I need to enjoy this season before my four best players graduate.

k0ruptr · 11-28-2007, 11:21 PM

honolulu gets back on track, 91-37 win

Honolulu gets a 70-66 win on the road against the Bandidos.

BishopMVP · 12-02-2007, 09:56 PM

#3 GDI beats #15 KCKU comfortably. Meanwhile #2 Chronic Nuggets win by 1 against an 0-13 team. Keep that in mind when voting this week

Oh, and if anyone needs a week 4 OOC opponent, feel free to challenge me.

Mr. Wednesday · 12-03-2007, 02:54 AM

NU pwned Philadelphia Chumps, with by far our easiest win of the season. We fell two points short of doubling them up at 76 - 39.

k0ruptr · 12-03-2007, 10:14 PM

I'm really starting to worry, I havent gotten any commitments yet. :/

Coffee Warlord · 12-04-2007, 08:28 AM

Difficulty of recruits committing lowers again next week, and it drops once more at the start of non-conference play. Trust me, it goes fast and furious then.

wade moore · 12-12-2007, 05:52 AM

Buehler?

Anthony · 12-12-2007, 10:32 AM

season needs to be shortened. and perhaps just be able to schedule among live coaches. i can't brag about beating Beantown Generics or whatever.

Mr. Wednesday · 12-12-2007, 10:42 AM

I think there's a bug in recruiting -- Jang and Hextall both committed to other schools.

Katon · 12-12-2007, 01:48 PM

Look on the bright side - at least Jang's not in our conference.

Mr. Wednesday · 12-12-2007, 02:15 PM

Yeah.

I screwed up PG recruiting, I never visited any backups so I'm now likely to be way behind on any of the decent players that are left over.

Mr. Wednesday · 12-12-2007, 02:16 PM

Dola, and while I didn't think my chances at Jang were great, I thought I was in good shape for Hextall. (shrug)

mauchow · 12-12-2007, 03:13 PM

We need a win badly tonight.

We're in first but a loss would put us tied with possibly two other teams. Boohoo.

I don't like the second part, but I definitely agree on the shortening. I don't see why 3, even 4 games a week would be too much. There's really nothing more than changing a defensive set to be done, which is all of four clicks.

Recruiting is also somewhat annoying in that players are at highly positive/favorable for weeks without committing. And I didn't get Dexter.

Some people are clearly just gaming the polls for their own benefit. There's no reason why AMI shouldn't at least be on every ballot.

Oh well, win tonight clinches the Sectoid Conference title.

Mr. Snappy · 12-12-2007, 06:56 PM

The mighty #1 AMI Gilded Howitzers have finally lost, 79-82 at the #10 Fargo State Prairie Pimps.

I'm thinking I'm in agreement. Next season I'll increase the number of games per week.

rjolley · 12-12-2007, 08:41 PM

Very good idea. 3 a week works well for the FBCB-FOFC sims.

k0ruptr · 12-12-2007, 09:10 PM

I'd vote for 4 a week

You say that like there's something wrong with it.

Seriously, as long as the polls affect your team's placement in the postseason tournament, you'd be crazy not to be voting your team first whenever it's eligible.

Something's funny with the vote totals. They don't add up sensibly.

TargetPractice6 · 12-13-2007, 11:55 AM

The only thing I can think of is that the 4th and 5th place votes don't reset each week.

k0ruptr · 12-16-2007, 10:34 PM

gotta give your boys credit jeebs, you beat us this time. gg it was tied with less then 4 mins to go and we fell apart.

we aren't playing good basketball right now even though we are 13-4
