The SWC and Big 10 Represent: You can't expect people to...

Joe,

It was an honor and priviledge seeing yourself and Zack. I know you were on the rules committee and all. I know that you know the game and your integrity, in my opinion, is beyond reproach. I, as well as many others thought you were managing the game excellent with respect to both coaches. Then all of a sudden boom, a big change, and both the tempo (game clocks taken from you), and the outcome (shake box taken from you) changed dramatically. Why?, because you needed support. SAYS WHO? What was so wrong?

What we really need is a standalone convention not dependent upon glory seekers who define themselves, by any means necessary, through winning and losing. To depend on a person to set your rules then cast him aside like a "cheap trick" is a clear indication of willfull intent to do something. But why? This year really brought some things to the forefront.

I also played Corey in the MFCAL Championship Game. I wound up advancing by playing the Al Dunhams Zombies against his Sabsquatch team, then playing Chris Fields and several others for fun.

I lost that championship game the same way I got there by opening myself up to learn a new rule set. Although there were some rough spots in that game I fully understand that there was no way Corey and Adrian could cover every rule no matter how hard they tried. We had a great game and I didn't feel uncomfortable, cheated, or otherwise although I gave Corey the business for that handoff rule. After all, it was a championship game and he returned the favor by nullifying a fumble that would have given him the ball. With a few exceptions, and with no disrespect, the NEFL rules have far more pace and fairness than Shootout and can possibly resolve some of the issues back here. I may have lost a game but I gained so much knowledge by having the deversity to accept and respect another man's game. It makes me feel like a winner.

Thanks Joe and Corey.

I will be contacting you as well as others as the MFCA is deserving of a league that supports their mission statement, not a buddy.
