I just wanted to congratulate the Undead on their victory. It was a heck of a game... it's tough losing when you score so high... but what can you do... if I recall, I won week 1 against the Opihi with under 100 points, so it all balances out! Again, congrats on the win Jeremy, good luck the rest of the way.

PS... thanks Matt for taking care of Jim this past week for me... now, if you wouldn't mind, think you could THROW the game against ME this week? ;)

[Preds]

Oh yeah, I forgot to say...

Brian, the stats are AWESOME as usual. Great work!

Get me the files at the end of the season and I'll create some web pages of historical stas with them for the website.

PS, I love your late season run for the West... this is a make or break week for you... good luck!

The East has been a great race as well, I doubt it will be decided before Jim and I play week 14... and there's a good chance that either Jim or I won't make the playoffs if we lose! Gotta love the last 4 weeks of divisional games... it make's things so interestng!

You aren't the only one! I'm waiting for Rami's week 13 preview to start talking some smack. Richard's gotta be quaking in his boots! If you're listening out there Rich, you can knock me out this week so week 14 won't matter. I don't think you can do it though!

I'd also like to refer people to the coaches rating page on the league website. I'd like to remind everyone that I used to be in the 12 spot on that list.

Well, I guess you're going to leave it to me to plug the Central. :box How about the late race happening there!? :thumbsup From dead last in '03, my Wonder Mutts are looking pretty good at 10-2, the first team to clinch a playoff berth... and still haven't sewed up the division title. The Liquid Swords are also representing the Central extremely well, and making a strong playoff push of their own. Could the Central division, which so many labeled the worst in the Frenzy, be the division to bring 2 teams to the big dance? Could the pitiful Central division be the first division to win 2 Frenzy titles? Stay tuned, this is going to be exciting!

It's easy to be 10-2 or 8-4 when your beating up on SBDC or the Waste... their records are horrible.

We'll see who wins what... I still think you won't win it all Jake, but if you do, I'll be the 1st to congratulate you on your feat!

Believe me, I'm the first one that thinks I won't win the championship. My rebuild was geared for a run in year 2 or 3, anything this year is unexpected bonus. But don't be so quick to point to SBDC or the Waste as a sign of weakness. The Central has a total of 25 wins this season... just behind the east's total of 26, and easily better than the west's total of 21. We also appear 1, 3, 8, and 11 in the power rankings... and 2, 3, 7, and 8 in overall scoring.

Regardless of what happens in the playoffs, I'm going to stick up for my division. We've put together a very strong season, even more impressive when you consider where we've come from. :thumbsup

[Preds]

I'll give you that, the Central has performed much better than the past, but it's still no better than a 2 team race, whereas the East has had 3 very good teams for 3 years in a row, and a 4th is emerging in the Freedom. As for the West... well they've had a bad year lol... I like the Dodgers to win the division though, and with Julius at RB he could do some damage if he makes it to the playoffs.

The West is having a down year, I can't disagree with that. I really don't have a problem with that though. Division bragging rights is all well and good when you're headed for the post season regardless. I'm just happy to be in the scrap heap that is the West. Being in the hunt in Week 13, after starting 3-6 is much better than being able to boast that your division is so good, you don't have a shot at the playoffs with a better than .500 record. Cheers to the down year in the West. :toast:
