a lot of rookies who find consistent/easy success that first year often hit the wall early and all season long in their second year. jvr doesn't fit into that category, and i'm anticipating a more even performance from him this year because it all just didn't fall into his lap last year. he went through the grind with nothing given to him and went all the way to the scf while staying healthy and playing a much higher number of games than previously in his amateur career. that was a roller coaster season for all of them filled with tremendous highs and lows, and i think he'll benefit from all of it next year, especially since lava will have the team from the start.

I agree. I dont think he is going to necessarily blow it up this year, but i do expect a much more complete season. I still think he will have some highs and lows, but i expect 20-25 goals, 30 assists. And i think he is more then capable of that.

Doing well myself, glad to hear M4 is doing well. I assume spaghetti made a seamless transition?

I myself am looking for a new house as we speak. Not as fun as i had previously anticipated, and it looks like i am going to have to forgo season tickets for another year .

Good luck with the house-hunt. Spaghetti loves the new yard. sorry about the tix. I might be getting a pair of partials myself.

Get the pairs for the games they win. You'll have more fun that way.

No. They left by choice. There was a brief spat with FF16 during the second tailgate that I , unfortunately, started and he decided not to come back. I think Roenick97 just got tired of the constant arguing and he had some specific issues with several of the posters that he felt would never get resolved.

He's still restricted I think but really, of all the players, he can be pretty easily replaced.

He still panhandles down under the I-95 overpass from time to time.
