That is definitely NOT what I would classify that season for you. Hell of a bunch of excellent upgrades, big placement across your entire team for 1st place, and then a solid GP performance. You're WELL on your way dude.

[The Rocketmen]

Thank you to The Sandmen for another successful and wildly entertaining season!

Thank you to The Texas Rattlesnakes for keeping us well informed on our rosters and rankings and injuries!

Thanks to every member for a hell of a season and a big welcome to the new members who get to get their feet wet for real in Season 24!

Cheers and good luck to all

Nah... Rocketman's right on this one dude. The only flaw I saw, that you pointed out yourself, was putting Coleman in over Sylvia... And even then, Coleman did WAY better against Lesnar than I thought he would too. That, and what Rocketmen mentioned as well... That's no failure Dozers. You had a fantastic season. 👍

Congrats The Sandmen ! Thanks for the season. Really looking forward to the next one!

[The Texas Rattlesnakes]

Thanks The Sandmen for another awesome season! And thanks to everyone involved that made it so much fun! Activity really picked up at the end there and made it a lot of fun. Can't wait for next season!

If I had my way, bro, you would have won Season 21, and Byron would have won this one.
