Hey everyone, promoted from D4 in season 40 and looking forward to my first appearance in D3. Hope it's a long stint here. Good luck to all this season!

Welcome, Hank!

Should be a fun season. The forum was pretty quiet last season, but the league was pretty active and competitive. Hoping for more of the same

Good luck!

It doesn't look like we have anyone relegating from D2.

Welcome to Season 41 everyone! Congrats to TN753 for winning it all last season.

Also, holy shit, the Tucumcari Whalers are back! Nice

We need someone to do weekly analyses to make the forum more active.

I can start that by posting the Buzzer-Manager daily recaps, but can't commit to writing in-depth analyses. Though if someone else wants to volunteer for a preseason preview or predictions post, that would be so awesome (y)

Here's the first recap:
