Stuck in Mediocrity (Session 6)
Posted by Rob Peterson on Sunday, Jul. 13th, 2025 at 2:36 AM

Antioch peaked somewhere around Season 4. We haven't been able to get back to being a top team since then. Looking around the league, I can't really see what we're doing wrong. If this were a professional team, this manager would have been run out of town years ago!

That's not a bad College motto: "Antioch: striving for mediocrity" 😎

More helpfully, I suspect your 4* recruitment strategy is probably to blame.  The top recruiters are definitely James and James, so my tip would be to always see where Alton and Cinci are bidding and just get in there and pay more.  
No need to thank me 😁

My old Maths teacher put on a report "James is far too content with the mediocre".  The legacy of this comment is that nearly 40 years later my parents still recall it and can occasionally still say it! (and probably undoutedly true!).  He did also say I was the most natural leg break bowler he had ever seen.  Considering I wasn't bowling leg breaks but dobbing away swing this made me question his judgement  and my lack of an international cricket career has supported I was right!.

Getting good recruits is getting harder and harder.  The days of lucking out and getting seven 5* in a row I think are in the past,  So thanks for the compliment Roger, but please do not all load up on any recruit I show interest in!.  Alton's yes definitely.

You might need to explain "leg break bowling" to the Americans in here, James.

And spoil the mystery?

I don't know what language you guys are speaking sometimes...😎

Q. What do you do with an elephant with three balls.

A. Walk him and pitch to the rhino.

It took me 15-20 years to get that joke.

Terms like "A walk-off sacrifice fly" got me intrigued in baseball.  That is a different language!

Learning a new sports terminology is always a great joy to me!
