The Flat Soda Bombers Basketball Club Fantasy Basketball Weeks 14 - 20 (updated 3/2/26)

The Flat Soda Bombers Basketball Club is a Fantasy Basketball team in The Library basketball league. This is the inaugural season of both the Bombers and the league, which lives on the Yahoo Sports NBA Fantasy platform.

Reflection of Weeks 1-13:

The inaugural season for the Flat Soda Bombers fantasy basketball club is a season of learning, for sure. Injuries would be the theme of the first 10 weeks and the aimless direction from the front office has led to a near the bottom of the league dwelling team. The owner of the Bombers is an experienced fantasy manager with several titles and top three finishes but has never curated a basketball team. This is a learning year.

There were some positives at the end of the first 13 weeks as the Flat Soda Bombers won two of the last three weeks. In those two wins, the team put up numbers that would have been competitive with most of the teams in the league. Now, the Bombers are looking for consistency to squeak into the playoffs.

The Flat Soda Bombers Basketball Club Fantasy Basketball (updated 1/12/26)

I needed another fantasy sports team like I need a sharp rock in my shoe when running a marathon, but here I am taking the reigns of a new Fantasy Basketball franchise in the newly formed league, The Library.  Allow me to introduce the newest franchise of mine from the sport of NBA basketball: Flat Soda Bombers

Yep, you might think does this have anything to do with my library?  You bet!  This league is made up from employees in the library including myself, Benjamin the library clerk, Heidi and Ryan (league commish) from the IT department, Dan and son Mason (English Dept), Nate (World Languages), Brian (Social Studies) and someone who I think is Ryan's friend.  

Confession: since the Jordan era, I can probably name about as many players as I have fingers and toes.  I can pronounce even fewer of them, and that last item (about names), only shows my own cultural ignorance.  I have really come to lean on saying, "that guy from Milwaukee."   Anyhow, we did a live draft and I actually drafted this team shown below.  I feel like it is a good collection of players, but the first week didn't go so well.  The Bombers dropped the first week to a team named by my youngest daughter (14 yrs) for Heidi a self proclaimed team owner who only joined because we couldn't find anyone else to even the league out and has no idea who she drafted.  Yeah, the Flat Soda Bombers lost to them.  That feels real good.  Oh, their name you ask?  67 Dino Nuggets (of course!).   Anyone who has a teen in the house or works in a middle or high school can appreciate that name.  Well, here is the Flat Soda Bombers.  

Week 1: Flat Soda Bombers vs. 67 Dino Nuggets 5-8-1"Flat Soda is a Good Description of Week 1" (5th in League)
