Congrats to xulapaul for winning title #30, all in D3. Come on up to the big leagues now Paul! We could use ya!
wait... the big leagues!! what, like d3 isn't the big leagues?? from the mouth of mr. dogg himself... never thought i'd see the day!
I've NEVER played more than 1 D3 season. Maybe in my 1st career back in '07. But since you've known me I've never ever played D3. Playing D2 is a step in the right direction. And playing D1 is the final move.
My comment to Paul was that he's gotta be bored to tears with sleep walking thru the same ol teams in the same ol worlds winning title after title. I think it's good for the best of the best to move up after while. For the sake of the community competition. Obviously we all play for our own reasons and he wants to stay. So be it. But I still try to persuade people!
I walk the walk tho. All 7 of my teams are D1 now. I have roughly 230 seasons. (60 were from the past, so let's say 170 seasons really). About 120 of those were D2, I smashed. I got antsy for the next challenge. 50 seasons of D1 later, I'm smashing still (just talking the talk! I'm just "pretty good" for now. A couple of D1 titles), and after another 100 or less D1 seasons I'll retire.
I practice what i preach sir! And i just root for the best of the best to challenge themselves as I did. Paul is certainly "the best of the best" along with a few other D3 mainstays. And i hope one day they make the move as well, after seeing 36 humans in a lower division isn't as competitive anymore! (THAT is new. D2/D3 populations weren't as bad back in the day).
