Good game tonight Griffin , I thought I was going to lose the game initially since I was down my 10 after the first quarter...

I meant Canada losing to USA in hockey was not an option because I was with Americans all night. And yeah, good game. I tried something a bit different, just to see how it would work. It did not lol.

WOW you guys are quieter, than the DIV II leagues, and in other countries even DIV III, i think we need to really get the Canadian users more active on the forums.

Spoken like a newbish manager. Be happy you're in Div II then.

He is newbish because he is not in Naismith? That was a very arrogant post. What scorcher said was completely correct and if you do not like it, change it. Simple, but don't listen to me. Im a newbish manager.

I'm guessing (or hoping?) he was just trying to start a controversy to get the forums going. Not having been here long, don't know if that's in his character, but I know in the past II.4 has had some great smack talk and that kept their forums lively in the past.
From me, I just haven't been that into it this season. I'm hoping training some potential U21 players (in the season I'm already declaring will have Canada be contenders for the world championships) will get me enthused again.

He's newbish because he's been playing less than 5 seasons and all of those except one in div III and IV, i.e. against playing against bots. Obviously opinions may differ, but IMO the Naismith forum should exist primarily for the managers of the Naismith Division, not to entertain managers in Divs II and III who are bored and trolling.

And since you're struggling to say above .500 in your first season in Div II, yeah, I'd agree with you that you also are a newbish manager.

We did not start this game back in Season 2, like you where everyone was still learning the ropes. We started later Seasons 11 and 12 where there were managers who had financial advantages and much much more experience. You have been here since the very beginning, 17 seasons and you have not won a thing up in Naismith and right now it seems like you could be joining us newbish managers down here in division II next season. Also I am first in my conference(Do not ask me how) which I think is a better benchmark than my record.

Scorcher was not trolling either. He was probably doing what I was when I checked this forum. I wanted to see what an active league forum looked like. When I saw the lack of activity I was somewhat surprised. Scorcher obviously was as well and just made the comment.

And that means what exactly? Shouldn't have to give you a history lesson but unless your team name is BC Torooo or the Secret Agents, no one's won a thing up in Naismith (yes, yes, Genso won last season after the Mogul dropped) and that includes at least three managers that are in the Canadian Hall of Fame. But I guess you wouldn't know about that.

We've currently in our sixth season in Naismith. Ask sg united, the Ragin Stajins, 85 FG% or any of a bunch of other teams how easy it is to stay up once you make it here. And you have yet to even do that.

On the few occasions that I read the forums, I get the treat of listening to managers in their third season espouse the finer points of strategy while they play bots and teams with mediocre/inept outside defense.

I wanted to see what an active league forum looked like. When I saw the lack of activity I was somewhat surprised. Scorcher obviously was as well and just made the comment.


So you're like the little girl who finally gets to meet Justin Bieber and then is disappointed that he has nothing useful to say. The Naismith forum is what it is. Many managers don't post because they're tired of getting involved in pointless discussions like this one.
