What if...The Seawall Brawl goes to College???
 

Who'd be interested to play for the National Championship I proposed in another thread instead of NFL? Cast your vote and then, if you would be more interested in having a 65 team National Championship Tourney - just like basketball - then RSVP your team.

Oh yeah
 

Gimme ARMY. BEAT NAVY! BEAT AIR FORCE!

Given what the tournament is about, who it benefits, and the real meaning of the event, I think we could play with Martian teams and it wouldn't matter.

Pro or college is fine by me. College is probably preferred, because I like how it opens up the rules set (full house backfields, etc.).

My take
 

Jimbo,

I couldn't make it last year but I hope to be there in 07. As for teams? With DC having the college event I would prefer this one to stay Pro teams. If DC drops the college tourney then I'd like to see at least one college tourney in the year. Just my thoughts.........

did read before posting the poll...
 

Jimbo,

Now a 65 man "king of the board" college tournament sounds very interesting.......

K-lo

True
 

That is true IF you actually get 65 peeps to show up. Not likely. Miggle gets that many but that is the most populated event of the year. I've never seen more than 42 participants at a tourney other than Miggle. That one year at Winter Fest that room was PACKED out. I think George said he had 42 sign up that year. I'd love to be part of a bracket like that but realistically I don't see 65 people showing up.

Can't Vote
 

Can't vote because my preference is not listed.

I like Roo's idea of playing with Martian teams. LOL!

Seriously, I like the idea of requiring everyone to play with a team of their own making. I believe that the NHFL does this. It would be more fun to me to see people come up with creative team concepts. We don't need to pigeon-hole ourselves into this either pro or college stuff.

Go Chess Men!!!!

I agree with Frank
 

It wouldnt matter pro or college, but I feel the Seawall Brawl is unique in that is open to all figures, so it should be open to all types of team creation as well, I don't want to see it mimic any other tourney, that is what was so special about it , its not like anything else.

Frank might be on to somthing..... How about those drafted teams from off ****le site??

college or pro
 

For me I personally don't care,

The way I see all that coaches need for this tournament is their abilities and they better be on point because changing from pro to collegiate isn't gonna stop the fact that the champ is tryin 2 repeat this coming Brawl.

Whether u change to college or stay in the pros, the people's champ is coming take first place once again, so basically choose who u want to win the championship, MY Ravens or MY Tarheels.

The choice is yours.

One Luv,
The Champ AKA The Kid

Like father, like son. :) :) :)

Swb '07
 

I've told the MFU guys that I would like to see the Brawl stay pro, at least one more year. Mainly because some the things Bill and I have planned were contingent on a pro motif. However, If this becomes a comes a college tournament for 07 then we'll just have to adapt our plans.

I've already spoken to Tom Johnson one of the main promoters of college EF, and will defer to his expertise should our tournament go college.

Last year we didn't specify what kind of teams to bring, however most of the coaches instinctively brought pro. It really didn't matter what types of teams were being used as long as they adhered to the policy of Offense in dark and Defense in white. This year will be a little different in the sense that if this is a pro tourney bring a pro team; if it's college bring a college squad.

We plan to have fun no matter what kind of teams are being used.

Jimbo
 

If I play count me in for Ohio State.

I'm Confused
 

Mike Carr lives in Temple, Maryland; has a Walter Payton avatar; and wants to play with Ohio State...??? :D:D :D

Just joking with you, Mike. I'm surprised nobody else jumped on them. Oh well, I'd like to try to keep this on a 1st come 1st serve basis, that is until 20 OSU's and 20 USC's and another 20 UM's show up, right?

I don't think you can go wrong with Pro, College or Fantasy. If college I would like to run with Nebraska.

I'm not too concerned about the potential rules differences between Pro and College formats. I just wanna play a little, hang out and have some fun.

brawl
 

Don: I would not be opposed to playing with any team, college, pro or you name it. I would enjoy playing with my NHFL Brookeville Bombers team. If you wanted to open the rules up to adopt real “old school” rules to accommodate the full backfield it may fun with the strategy divider. Ray F.

Ray...
 

I don't know how long Jimbo is fielding votes for the next tournament. But I'm sure if it goes college the rules will be amended accordingly.

Also I still need an email from you, about what we discussed.

Peace,

Don

I will be attending
 

Hey guys I'm a rookie coach from michigan. I will be attending and would like to play with the U of Miami Hurricanes college and we will see if it's pro. Thank you.

Rookie My Arse!
 

YOU AIN'T NO ROOKIE!!! But we'd be glad to have ya and anyone else from the "Greatest League in Michigan!" :rolleyes:

WHO IN THE FIZZY TOOK OHIO STATE??????? ok we need to regulate the teams picked!!! LOL.....

thats cool...my son goes to FAMU now so I would paint them up anyways..

Place Your Vote
 

...this ain't Florida where we're gonna wait around for the hanging chad votes to be counted. :D

Place your vote on page 1 of this thread.

Brady 4 Heisman????
 

Since we are doing this college pro thing on a first come first serve basis and also seeing as how I am the champ, here are my picks:

Pro- Like I said before the Baltimore Ravens

College- earlier I brought up the Tarheels of North Carolina, but as I thought about it on my way to the last home football game, it would be more fitting if I was the Notre Dame, 10-1, best quarterback in the nation, about to whoop up on the USC Trojans, Fighting Irish!!!!

Folks I bleed blue,gold, and green, therefore I shall rep my college.

Oh and remember there are no AP or BCS poles in this tourney, so if you want to meet me in the big dance, beat everyone on your side of the bracket.

Donald Carter Smith aka Charlie Weis aka dos quatro (rip off of ocho cinco)

Que pasa Dos Quatro?
 

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!! :) :p :D :eek:

Wassup...
 

...with Army? They just lost - again - to Navy! 4 losses in a row for the Army Seniors. I'd like to initiate the MFU version of the Commander in Chief's Trophy.

If you served, paint up a squad and we'll duke it on the side for the CIC Trophy.

GO ARMY! BEAT NAVY!! BEAT AIR FORCE!!!

I Think I'm Gonna Paint Up A Some Of Those Good Old Navy Boys.....yall Just Cant Hang With Us Jimbo..sorry Man...

Aj

Go Navy!!!
 

Tell him Juice... The Navy gets the GRAVY, while the Army gets the BEANS!!!:D

Bucky Badger says....
 

On Wisconsin

That was funny old school.....

Jimbo...
I think pro will win out.......but why not have a bowl invitation for coaches who get eliminated...I'm not sure what the format was for your pro coaches, but lets say after coaches are eliminated you start matching up coaches who may not get a chance to play each other but you set them up to play a college bowl game...

Name various bowls that could be sponored with a field cover and if you guys are doing this for a charity give then the money instead of like the crazy colleges that get millions to build bigger stadiums instead of funding more college students....
Thats what the goal of the College Bowl series was trying to get to...each bowl would have been sponsored by a company with their logo in the middle of the field, a charity given the money and then the board cover would have been placed in a frame and given to that company.
Just my 2 cents.

AJ

Still Waiting
 

...for a few more votes.

Frank stole my thunder. I hate when that happens, but anyway I love to see the teams that guys come up with. It adds a lot to the event, and nobody has to worry about "calling" a team. It doesn't have to be the coach's NHFL team, they could create a different team. Let's add this suggestion to the poll.

College or Pro
 

It doesn't matter either way pro or college. Just play enjoy and give to charity. College team would be Delaware state.

Jimbo,

Sorry man, I thought there was another option to select from. :confused:

As a result, I will have to abstain from voting. I am actually down for whateva! If the voting ends-up being infavor of college teams, I would like to use Hawaii.

:) :) :D :) :)

Say It Ain't So...???
 

Pokemon or JLA? Sorry dude, different league. :eek:

Stay tuned for our decision.

Peace.
