Yo Fellas,
If you have not tried it, you just might want to give it a shot. A lot of you may not know this, but before I hooked-up with the EF community, I played solitaire with by boy, Anthony Hough. I played with all 32 NFL teams. I believe we only played a 3 or 4 for game regular season schedule with each team. Among many other things that were happening in my life, this was the final piece to the puzzle that I had to finish before joining a league and traveling in the EF community. My solitaire season concluded in Jan/Feb of 2003. Once that finished, I decided to participate in the hobby. In February 2003, I attended my first tourney and it’s been on ever since.
I know this might sound a little strange, but lately, I’ve felt like I have not been getting enough of the EF experience. So, I just started tweaking bases. After tweaking base after base after base after base, the light bulb went off. Guess what? You know it... Solitaire. Since I did not want the bases to go to waist and I wanted to see how they would all perform, I decided to base up a few of the teams I have remaining.
My solitaire season consists of 5 teams. I know this will sound strange to a lot of you, but you have to know me to understand and even then you may know really understand. Anyway, 4 of the 5 teams are a mix of two different teams. Example: one team consists of the Jaguars in all black on offense and the Bills in all white on defense. My rules are simple. I have included just a little dice action, FOB and ABC, one timed stoppage, etc…
I am sharing all of this with guys because after I started playing, recording stats and analyzing talent from the different teams, something just came over me that’s hard to explain. I will not go into to details because I might get all mushy and what not. But, I tell you, to some it all up, doing this appears to be very therapeutic. Already, I have a renewed passion and interest for the game. This stuff is great!
I LOVE this - - - - game!!!
