Hi There,

My name is John but I am better known as Coach_J on the chatboard. To begin with welcome to the hobby and the chatboard. You have come to a good place to get your electric football questions answered.

As Erick mentioned Green Bay Glenn is a good person to contact. I will try to contact Green Bay Glenn or someone in the Houston and ask them to contact you.

Have a good day, feel free to ask any additional questions, and again welcome to the hobby and the chatboard.

I'll just repeat the information we had in our phone call here. The past two years I attempted to revive the HEFL but both times, we had coaches show up on opening day and that was it! A one-game season! LOL! I need a tad more commitment than that before I'll run a league again.

I'm open for one on one scrimmages and such and will focus on re-entering the NHFL this year with my Baton Rouge Swamp Moose, but the chances of running a league in Houston are slim as far as the original coaching crew is concerned. I have no doubt Derrick Leffall will show up and commit to play, but I need more than that. You may be the trump card because with 3 coaches committed, all we really need is a fourth coach to commit since there are several leagues around the country with just 4 coaches or so, I believe. Could be wrong though!

I'll see if some of my high school football players are interested, and if they are, I may run a league this fall. I'll keep you posted. But I really DON'T want another one-game opening-day-only HEFL! LOL!

....the 10 minutes to set-up a play has got to go. There are guys in Houston who want to play, but they haven't got together yet. I for one am willing to get something going here in Houston but like I said the set-up time has to be moved closer to real-time football. I am accustomed to setting up quick and playing real-time football. Coming from the LAEFL has I guessed spoiled me in that since. Mark Robin and Mark Klingbeil have also tried to get something going but have failed. I am always down for it. I will be playing in the DWFEFL this year because of H-Town being down again.

I'd be better off in the Dallas league my own self! LOL! Too bad it's a four-plus hour drive. Have fun in Big D!



FYI, rjackson, coming from the outside you wouldn't know this, but you've been handed some serious misinformation about the HEFL, and probably from one of our former coaches who has not showed up to play at all the past couple of seasons. We use digital timers to set up plays and you only have two minutes as per our last 2 seasons in the HEFL. There is no 10 minutes to set up a play so you've been fed a bowl full of stuff on that one. Sorry you had to gulp that down! LOL! Bet it didn't taste good at all!

Glenn,
If we were on the clock and Jeff brought out those megaburgers, I would have to use all my timeouts just to finish the dog-gone thing! How could I forget mentioning those things when talking about how much fun the league was?

Went after talking to RJ to Jeff's place in an attempt to recruit him, but he has more than he can handle right now and just doesn't have time to get that in.

Hey guys, I know you are a ways from setup, but I just thought I'd give you a tip about speeding up games.

In the Southeastern league, we implemented a 40 second clock. Here is how it works......

At the beginning of each play(when the board is turned on) the defense turns the clock on(set at 40 seconds). From that point the offense has 40 seconds to stop the board, and make a decision. The pass has to be off before the clock goes off. It really speeds up the game and keeps them from walking around the table forever!

Most guys in our league set up quickly, but don't make play decisions quickly. Also, we are not afraid to put a clock on a slow setup guy if we have to. It's not personal, just trying to get as many games in before we go back home to our families. Hope this helps.

well.I came from aleague where we did have atimer. Ijust want to play,and Glenn Ido understand what you mean about the one game show up. But you get on the chat board say how much you love the hobby, Idont blame you one bit Glenn! we need to just have fun , with five or six coaches ,just have fun with the committed coaches we have not just the talkers!!!
