Lack of Conference Doesn't Dampen Enthusiasm of Independent Ballers
By Stench96, SPORTS WRITER
Confidence is high!
That's probably the main theme of the replies to my probing preseason questions to the owners of the independant teams. Confidence in their ballin' abilities, confidence in EA Sports to deliver another stellar product for 2004 and, most importantly, confidence in DaONE being the premier online league for the upcoming season.

There was no crying about getting the rough end of the pineapple with team selection (if the baller didn't get the team he wanted). If anything, team strength didn't even seem to be an issue.

Batman30 didn't seem to bothered he drew UConn, more renowned for hoops than pigskin. His clash with Tale of Woe's Virginia Tech Hokies definitely puts him in the underdog category, but to steal a phrase from TDAUG, "It's the scheme not the team.”

W2B was stoked to get his Midshipmen and is psyching on his traditional rivals, Afroman's Air Force and his season-ending clash with DNA666's Army.

TDAUG is looking to bring the Irish back to the glory days of the ’70s and ’80s. After last year’s great building season (only soured by the 28-6 Gator Bowl loss to North Carolina State) he should have a very strong roster to play with. Big Roob's Florida State Seminoles and BigWill33's Pittsburgh Panthers will be the DAUG's major hurdles on his way to being DaONE.

Stench’s pick of the head-to-head games has to be the Midshipmen vs. the Irish. The last time these ballers met on the virtual gridiron, TDAUG was belted by W2B's Bengals. Anyone who can beat you with John Kitna deserves the utmost respect. Could be a Navy upset on the cards?

Although Kadzooman didn't get his beloved Georgia Bulldogs (MadSci pegged them; it's good to be king) he is rollin' with his hometown Troy State Trojans. Although he might not have the strongest roster, a hard-nosed ground game and smothering “D” is his recipe for success. When it comes to the match-ups with CBRO's Nebraska Cornhuskers and jms493's Marshall Thundering Herd, the K-man reckons he'll be as hard to contain as his namesake Ivy.

Conference? The only conference these guys wanna be in is the one at the end of the season with 64 teams. All have their game faces ready, all are veteran online ballers and all want to be DaONE!
