Subject: US Senior National Team

As for the current candidates, I think any or all of them would do a good job managing this or another national team, though I'd rather not endorse anyone in particular.

1) camrawn is an experienced manager at this point and was a good assistant manager for 2 or 3 seasons on the U18 hockey and should be familiar with running a national team by now. The only reason I didn't add him again this season was that he already had all the experience he could get from the position, and he could probably win an election if he wanted to manage a national team at this point. I'm not sure if he is serious about running for handball though.

2) WasUpNerd was one of the only ones to take the initiative and put the time into planning for the national team at first. The main reason more experienced managers tend to win is that there is more confidence that they won't quit the game and that they would put some time and though into the roster and tactics. I think that WasUpNerd had demonstrated this, and I suppose one could deduce that he is relatively knowledgeable about ppm handball from his success.

3) bulls4ever is the only person that took the time to develop a website for scouting for all of the sports for the national teams. He has also put a lot of thought into the roster and tactics and has been transparent about his choices, opening them up to discussion.

The truth is that i destroyed somebody in Handball playoffs final, and today will do the same thing in basketball.

just an example on how you only care about yourself and talk about yourself only .... tss tss

I tend to agree with all of this.

It's a shame your post will likely be lost in the mess of yet another argument.

To be honest with you guys, I am starting to loose interest. Before hb even started I was already making a "scouting team" to keep track of players. I was really excited about NT. I asked Williambc to make our team graphics, I kept scouting players, and making analysis for myself. First elections were started, I think I wrote a reasonable speach. I lost to Bulls ( more known, more experianced manager ). I became his asistant. But he woldnt let me do a thing, ať first i kept writing him my opinion, but he clearly didnt care... NeXT season je won again, choose lanky. I Stopped writimg my opinion on forums cause he doesnt care.

Another fact that someone has a huge ego.

I wasn't being serious about running for handball manager, though if I somehow win, I'll gladly manage the team. I'm more interested in running the basketball national team, to be honest.

I voted for bulls. Reason. I want to see how the next season unfolds. He has been a good manager and improves each season. Lanky makes for a good backup. I am looking forward to seeing how the WC plays out and then I think its a great time for Bulls to step down.

I will not vote for Nerd as I have no idea if his interest goes as it seems to be like the wind.

Outsider. If he won on season 1 then I would have been his assistant as I tossed in the hat and offered to be an assistant. We would be on season 3 of Outsider as manager and he would have been a capable manager as well. I am disappointed that Outsider puts a pissing match ahead of getting things done for the NT and this plays in my thoughts for future votes for Outsider.

I have also voted for Bulls for the same reasons. I am quite pleased with how he is running things. I may vote for somebody else next season if I feel we underperform and there is a better option, but for this season, I see no reason to vote for anyone else.

I don't vote for outsider simply because he used to have that demon baby as his picture, and I don't trust anyone that would associate with that thing.

Personal preference.

Speaking of pictures, anyone notice that for the most part we are just a bunch of animals talking to each other? (6 on this thread page alone)

lol no. my avatar was actually a photo i took at a safari

You have a good memory buddy, that i don't even remember that.

I actually had nightmares from that thing...

Yep. I just realized that too. A bunch of farm animals and a hot Japanese chick.

Sounds like the makings for an excellent B (or C or D) movie.
