My teams rocked with the 01' set - made the playoffs 9 in a row after my 2nd season. then I won a championship with only my 2nd team in 02' - thought I had it figured out and then sucked the rest of the time - never even making the post again with 7 other teams. Last year I didn't play very well at all either, but played in almost all Vet Leagues. So I am not embarassed by my overall .500 record.
But this season, my teams have fared pretty well in almost all Vet Leagues. I think playing against some of the very best players makes the experience a lot more challenging and enjoyable...At least for me.
