MFCA AND MIGGLE CONVENTION QUESTION

[mantaraydre]

COACHES,

I HAVE A QUESTION.FOR THE PEOPLE.

Before i ask, DO NOT TURN THIS POST INTO A US AGAINST THEM SITUATION.

This question is being asked for research purposes. We all love both entities and i am trying to see what made you decide on the one you chose.

I am noticing plenty of excitement with the announcement that The miggle is returning for another great event. I have not decided if im going yet. Its 50/50. I saw the pictures from last years miggle and noticed many faces i did not see at the Mfca convention either year. 2009 and 2010. Im reading how coaches cant wait it attend the mig in januuary. I did not see this same excitement from some when the mica convention was building up to the date.

Don't get me wrong, many of those who were at the mfca CONVENTION did not go to the miggle. MY SELF INCLUDED. MY REASON, " i did not want to go to the same state twice for another tourney. OHIO HAS BEEN BLESSED WITH 2 MAJOR CONVENTIONS DROPPING IN ON THEIR STATE 2 YEARS IN A ROW,
Columbus and canton. OHIO HAS BEEN LUCKY !!!!

Now, there are some who will attend both like the GREAT DETROIT CREW AND THE GREAT ADRIAN BAXTER.

With all of that said, being that the CONVENTIONS just happened to land on the same state, why do coaches go to one and not the other ? The premise is, THEY ARE BOTH IN THE SAME STATE SO WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU HAVE TO FLY OR DRIVE TO THE SAME STATE ANYWAY ?

1)Is It the timing, would you rather go to a convention in the winter instead of the summer ?

2)what is the draw for miggle and what is the draw for the mfca convention ?

I HOPE MANY OF YOU ARE TAKING THIS LIGHTLY WITH A
SMILE.

The more electric football the better right

Im curious as to why go to one and not the other. i would not ask this question if both conventions where hosted in different regions. But for 2 years in a row they land on the same state soil. I UNDERSTAND IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD 2 CONVENTION TRIPS FROM AUGUST TO JANUARY.

Does one have an advantage over the other ? THIS IS NOT AN US AGAINST THEM SCENARIO, PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT.

I just find it awfully weird that some flock to one or the other when they are being held basically in the same area.

Like i said earlier, I DID NOT WANT TO FLY TO OHIO TWICE IN THAT TIME PERIOD. in january 2011, i had no idea miggle was coming back to columbus. Another reason for not attending miggle is i joined the mid ohio league. I am kind of annoyed, The mid ohio has a play weekend on dec 10th in columbus. soon as i book my flight and make plans for the weekend, MIGGLE ANNOUNCES, "THE CONVENTION IS ON" Which is pretty much a month later. i would have gone if the information was out much earlier. i would have played some mid ohio games then. I do not want to go to columbus in december and january. Timing is everything.

I think coaches would rather have a winter tourney, UNLESS IT IS THE EMBASSY SUITES BREAKFAST THAT IS PART OF THE DRAW. i will admit, the E-SUITES is one great hotel. Miggle did a great job connecting with them.
