An idea for promoting the hobby

[MplsTom]

I usually create all-time college teams, but the analogy works the same for pros. One thing I usually do after I've decaled a team is to post some pics on the school's football website forum. I figure it's fun for them to see the game with THEIR team all decked out.

Some websites don't allow pictures, so you can post pics to a flickr site or other similar ones and then just do a link.

After my Louisville team was completed, I posted a message on the Scout.com forum for Louisville and to date there's been over 1000 views and 20 replies and a PM. Within my replies, I try to mention the miniaturefootball.org website and if it is a numbers game, maybe 1 or 2 will rediscover the hobby.

There's a lot of talent in this hobby, don't be afraid to let people know! Just an idea!

Got me some Beenutt Decals. Hopefully, they won't discover I'm from Michigan then send me a virus. In doing my research I learned a lot of unique qualities in their program. It seems you have to earn the number that you want, then wait for the senior to graudate to get it, especially during the Woody era. Jack Tatum was one of the few players who came into the program with his chosen number. Chris Speilman was another. There are so many hall of famers at OSU that it is awe inspiring. Here's my squad in no particular order:

KATZENMOYER LB 44
GRADISHAR LB 53
STILLWAGON DNG 68
WILKINSON DT 72
SPIELMAN LB 36
DIGGS LB 31
A.J. HAWK LB 47
COUSINEAU LB 35
SCHLICHTER QB 10
MARSHALL DT 76
CARTER WR 2
BOSTON WR 9
BYARS RB 41
FRANK TE 89
GALLOWAY WR 7
HOLMES WR 17
WARFIELD WR 42
BROCKINGTON RB 43
GLENN WR 83
GRIFFIN RB 45
SKLADANY P 1
OTIS RB 13
JOHNSON RB 33
MAREK LB 37
TOVAR LB 58
MAYES OG 73
HICKS OT 74
DeCREE DE 88

I am telling you guys...the key to the next generation is promoting this hobby to Boy Scouts.

I think we are on to something and I challenge all of you to get in contact with your local Boy Scouts and put on a demonstration....it will be worth it!
