Dre,

Thank you for all that you do in our hobby. I appreciate the things you bring to our community. Your enthusiasm, willingness to help, and the ability to bond with everyone you meet are genuine and wonderful gifts.

BigFranco... Bro you are definitely an impact player in this hobby. You've been around a short time but you seem to be taking everything in that this hobby has to offer. Guys this dude has already made arrangements to come to Tidewater and we haven't even made an official SWB announcement as of yet. Chris you are one eager dude, and I can't wait to meet you in person.

Roo... As Jimbo has already stated "We missed U2Roo!!!"

Broncoman... I look forward to seeing you in Detroit, and/or in Tidewater.

To everyone else... (Very soon) I'll be making an important announcement concerning the 2008 SWB after I've spoken with a few more people, and then run everything by Jimbo for his approval.

Peace to all,

Don Smith

Dre,

Hey buddy thanks for all the kind words but you're killing me! lol! That X on my back is getting larger and larger! I just hope I'm able to live up to what the EFL community is expecting of me!

I mean you're talking about Peatros, DC, B-Nutt, Chalmers, Rutledge and all these guys! They stand in a class of their own! I look forward to the challenges but I'm just going so that I can hang out with all of the EFL celebrities and have fun. Heck...I hope I lose early so that I can watch and enjoy the championship between two great coaches!

One other item...should any of these great name coaches lose doing this tournament. It doesn't mean that you're not a great coach. It just means that another great coach got the best of you that day! The empahsis on who's the best is so overrated. I think that this hobby is full of exciting players with exciting variations and styles of play. I look forward to matching wits!

Good luck

Coaches,


1) DFW LEAGUE SUPERBOWL (FEB 28)
2) SEAWALL BRAWL ( JUNE 20)
3) MFCA CONVENTION (AUG 1)
4) TEXAS SHOOTOUT ( FALL)

I already had some things on my schedule i was planning but i cancelled 3 trips so i can concentrate on the situation at hand. I cancelled going to the kentucky derby so i connect with the football elite. You know i love horse racing and to cancell that say's alot. Sometimes when you have alot to do you must pick and choose where you want to be. It's not that you dont want to attend everything, but when it becomes to much you have to make a choice. It's hard to physically be at all venues that's why i stated to plan accordingly.

MY QUESTION TO THE ENTIRE EF COMMUNITY IS, WHERE DO YOU WANT TO BE ? HERE ARE MY RESAONS

DFW SUPERBOWL (For starters, i am in the league. You have not experienced football until you stumble into the lone star state. The fast paced style is exciting to play and watch, and the entire atomsphere just ooze's football.
" you guy's must come to texas at least once" THIS IS COMING FROM A GUY WHO LIVES IN NEW YORK, NOT A NATIVE TEXAN! I JUST PLAY WITH THE TEXANS !!!!!!!!!!!

SEAWALL BRAWL ( I have neverbeen more impressed with the statement the tourney displayed early this summer. That weekend put a stamp the package of life. For us efler's, life is all about the people, the tourney, the fellowship, and i must say, The food. We have grown from a couple of snacks to dinner with crystal on the table. If you did not make it last year, you get another chance come june 20th. I GUARANTEE WHAT EVER YOU SAW AT THE BRAWL THIS PAST JUNE WILL BE TWO FOLD THIS COMING JUNE !!!! TRUST ME WHEN I TELL YOU. Your only hurting yourself if you do not show for any reason other than a illness or a family emergency. " IT WILL PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE WHEN YOUR GOING BACK HOME "


MFCA CONVENTION (This will be an historic event for all who loves the game of ef. It's our first convention and the first of anything is historic.
We are going into football heaven, (canton ohio). What more can you ask for that to be at the doorsteps of the hall of fame with your panted and decaled team under your arm. This weekend you will never forget. I cant go into specific's but hold onto your hats. You guy's should get all the rest you need now becaue in 08 your going to need the energy

THE TEXAS SHOOTOUT, What can i say. when michael jordan and the bulls came to ny to play the knicks in the playoff's, the front page of the newspaper read, "AIR WE GO AGAIN". That is the sentiment out there also, it's an air show with all the great passers coming together to air it out. It's an extremely fun enviroment with the greatest people you will ever meet. That texas hospitality is something else.


**** START TWEEKING, START PRACTICING, AND ASK QUESTIONS ON THE VARIOUS STYLES SO YOU CAN GET AQUAINTED FOR WHAT'S TO COME.

The great Mike robertson, or shall i say (Robert's- 1) he's the number 1 coach in the land right now

The great Vince peatros, or shall i say (beat-tros) he's beating people 80 to 12 in games.

Dc SMITH, aka The kid, or shall i say ( The twins) he has two back to back title belts hoisted over his shoulder, will he have another child come june 20th

Jimbo Dunugan, or shall i say, ( Jimbo won-again) jimbo's smash mouth x's and o's football casuses him to pile up victory after victory, You will find out in june.

Reginald Rutledge, or shall i say (Reginald cut-ledge) reg continues to cut up figures to make the most incredible custom fig's known to man. He put on a great class on how to design figs at last years brawl. Disneyland will be adding some new rides at the next texas shootout !!!!!

Don "old school" smith, or shall i say (don "i told you " smith). Don has you beat before before the game even starts. By the begining of the 3rd quarter rolls around and it's 42 to 7, don can look over the table at the other coach without saying a word. But if a picture can paint athousand words, a look on a face can say " I TOLD YOU, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE COME HERE'
don smith returns to the board in 08

Greg hardmon, or shall i say, ( Greg pardon me man) Greg is the new great coach we have up in lights. You have got to see the detail he put's into every game. greg is such a nice guy, after he destroy's you, the look on his face say's "pardon me man", i did not mean to beat you like that !!!!!!


WHAT AWAITS IN 2008 WILL BE GREAT, I'LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHERSIDE
