While it would suck to have a player break here and there, I have to say, that's an acceptable risk. If we're not adding facemasks and chin straps (which I agree with) and we're keeping players at 4.0, the process of replacing the odd player here and there isn't THAT big a deal.
And hell, if I ship a team and a player breaks, or something happens during game play (like the cat eats your DE), I'll paint you up a new one.
I like Al's idea. It could make it possible for the players from abroad, their teams would just have longer road trips.
... I want them to be involved if they wish.
I think we should go for 8 coaches for the debut. It shouldn't be hard to find 8 devoted coaches that will do this. It sounds like Reg, Dogwood, Me, and maybe a couple others are already clearly on board.
I would suggest we decide on college or pro. It's a pet peeve of mine in league play when you have a game between Green Bay and Poly Tech. I'd love to see us all have teams at the same level to develop some rivalries, have fun with it. Rosters would be up to the individual, of course.
Maybe we could get Wolf or someone to develop a logo, as well.
I'm with Al on the 16 plays per quarter idea, or something similar. That's fine by me.
