A good number of coaches will be there in one big room with about 20 big boards all set up. Many of the coaches stay for the weekend in the hotel. Thats were you really learn things, hanging with the guys, just chatting it up.
Heres a question the paint for the custom players where can I get it ? Any hobby store like Michaels or something. Apple barrell and Folk Art acrylic paints are just 2 brand names most painters use. Just find your way to the acrylic paint section and be amazed at all the colors to choose from. I myself love the different shades of browns and flesh tones for the different players skin tones. Some guys will go with higher end paints, but the 99cents - $1.50 per tube of acrylic paint will do you just fine.
And whats the difference between pro-line and 67 big men players ?

Proline figs are figs produced by miggle which feature about 8 different poses other than the normal/usual Fab 5 figures they produce. The fab 5's are the 5 basic poses you see like the blocker, RB,WR,Crouching figure which most use as tackles, and the arms figure which most use as Qb's and TE's. The 67 bigmen are these fab 5 poses but just bigger than the normal stock players of the fab 5. they are alittle taller, little thicker and far more balanced to play with. Back to the prolines, i believe someone else made proline figs, or atleast they were different figs, a while back. Not sure about this, but i do see references to Original Proline figs. but the ones you are talking about are most likely the ones miggle sells right now that you can buy from them. Also, speaking of original, there are Original 67 bigmen figs. These are the figs made in 1967 which were all bigmen. after that, they shrunk in height, but kept some girth, and those are called hoglegs. The 67 bigmen you referred to, i am sure, are the current ones made which are just reproduced copies of the old 67 teams, because they are so popular and better as well. Sorry for the jump around/ back and forth answer, its late, i am tired. but i hoped that gave you what you were looking for.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, DONT HESITATE TO ASK AT ALL.

Did you ever find those eagles?

No never found the eagles I was looking for. Also looking for Florida & Penn State. Whats the best men to get to custom paint ?

Another quick question Anyone have the miggle Pro-line accessory pack ? The metal goal posts, footballs, and 10 yard marker chain. Are they alot better then what came with the game set ?

There is a guy on here named RJ, he played with a Penn state team in the colleage league last year but is changing his team for next year.
He may want to sell them.
