Please Save Us...

Oh Great BWGopher,

Please save us from boredom on this '04 Forum... When I lay my head to rest, I wish to see some exciting text.

Some leagues, like SDL, started late, you see...
Many top teams have yet to play games times three...
Patience is a virtue, or so I am told...
'04 FBR will be published after this weekend, as long as the weather holds...

Woken from bed from sounds of text, I open my laptop to come and check.
Oh Yes, oh yes, the Gopher has spoken with expectations and desire,
Ready to set the dull '04 Forum on fire!!!!!

Now that is good stuff...

Ps - weather looks to be awesome this weekend! Too bad TGPL has a bye week.

4DaLuvofTheGM, back in the day before Gopher got all analytical on us... we used to make our own fun. Here's how we did it.

1. Start a new thread
2. Call the new thread "04 Rankings - You Pick 'Em"
3. Submit the new thread
4. Wait 2 hours to see if someone jumps into fire.
4a. If someone jumps, quickly grab beverage (and possibly popcorn if convenient) and enjoy the show.
4b. If no one jumps, start your own top 10 to get things started. Do your best to put your kids team 2 to 3 spots above your biggest rival. This last bit is the secret sauce.
5. Definitely grab beverage because it's on like Donkey Kong now bro.

For an example see #6 on most active posts list: https://www.txsoccer.net/t8601-04-rankings

It does make for great reading...even if you're like me and don't even have an 04. When all the personal rankings are submitted the thread will then
morph into a RASE v Solar Kenn rant that can last for days! I don't know what makes this 04 bunch so spirited....but it is fun to watch

SolarPower00, hypothetically speaking, if you were asked to rank the top 5 '04 teams how would do it? I mean, since you don't have an 04 (like me), no one can get too upset with you. I'm just curious. Again, hypothetically speaking.

I'm honored you want my opinion on this but to be fair, I havnt seen much 04 action this year and I cannot rank 1-5. I can only speak on the teams I've seen this fall.
RASE is more dominant than ever and is alone at the top.... not with the same type of separation that SRSA enjoys in our 03 group, but somewhat similar. I really like the way DT Doyle plays and you all will have to help me out on what they're called now. I believe Kenn has slipped a bit but should remain a top5...and a team that gets forgotten (in the human rankings) and deserves more respect is Juve

okay just posted a new thread in the 04's. It has everything you need. Rankings, a Rase mention, even a little poking with a stick
