Is this a clue that FOF (amd not TCY) is imminent?

We were looking at these pages in the FOxL lounge and wondering if this might be the clues we've been waiting for with respect to the upcoming Solecismic release.

We know he is going to release something before the end of the year. If it is going to be FOF, then it stands to reason that one of the upgrades would be the HTML output - and maybe this is our first sneak peek. In any event, I like the stats he is using there.

Or maybe we are getting new TCY and an update to FOF. Best of both worlds.

Jim's done those for a few years now, so I'm not sure it gives any clue as to what's being released.

I'm still holding out hope it is a unified game, with both college and pro in the same universe.

I've always thought that page might be an indicator, but I've thought that for 2 or 3 years now.

I do see he's expanded it though.

I lean more and more towards FOF, but not because of this page.

Where does Jim get all of this data? Surely he doesn't manually enter it into his DB himself does he?

If it's TCY, will I get a chance to initiate brawls? I can give my players instructions like "stomp on down player" and "swing helmet at player" and "meet in tunnel with player". The potential is endless.

I don't think it makes sense to release a new version of FOF that is not backwards compatible with existing MP leagues when the MP College Football market is wide open.

Lets go new game, lets go... clap clap... repeat 492 times, then spank Jeeber on his arse, pull a cockatoo's tail, and eat 16 hardboiled eggs. After that, check this site for news concerning a new game.
