Miniature Football Is FINALLY Returning To Northern California

[Coach_J]

Greetings to all of my fellow coaches in Miniature Football. I hope that all of you are doing well.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area where MF has been nearly non existent for the last five or six years. Yes I remained active on the chatboards and collected many teams along with bases but no players. The only time that I faced another opponent on a gameboard was at the 2007 and 2008 Seawall Brawl. Other than that I just played solitaire and talked MF with coaches throughout the country. That changed in February. A new coach in my area by the name of Harold aka "raiderhp" came on the Miggle chatboard. As you know I often welcome newbies to the hobby. This newbie was different and special. He lived in my area but an hour and a half away from me. I contacted the sports bar where the guys from the old BAEFL used to play. Things have changed over the years and scheduling there was difficult. To make a long story short I went online and got the numbers of numerous sports bars in the area. This morning I gave Harold the numbers of four sports bars and I took the numbers of four others to call and see what we could come up with. Less than five minutes after I gave Harold the numbers he called back and said one of the bars said no problem. I was pleasantly stunned. We met this afternoon and scrimmaged for about two and a half hours. I am only disappointed that another coach in Elk Grove was unable to make it down for the scrimmage. Harold aka "raiderhp" is a newbie who is very excited about the hobby. I was able to show him some of the new features of the hobby during our scrimmage. We used the Strategy Divider and had a blast. He also really liked the custom figures that I used. So custom figure guys and base tweakers don't be surprised if you get a PM from Harold aka "raiderhp". One other bit of great news is that we will be meeting with another potential sports bar next weekend to see if they would not mind hosting us as well. It is always good to have a back up plan.

Have a good day guys and thanks to the newbie "raiderhp" Miniature Football is making a return to the San Francisco Bay Area.
