Interest in a new real player league?

Molarmite · 01-05-2008, 12:51 AM

Is there any interest in a new league with 2007 rosters and schedule? Post here if it's something you would like to join and if enough people are interested, we'll get it started.

BigDawg · 01-05-2008, 08:38 AM

COUNT ME IN!!!!

I would be interested in the Lions

flying-elvis · 01-05-2008, 10:10 AM

I'd be interested in the Chargers!

freddylamar · 01-07-2008, 10:06 PM

Count me in for the Bears. [email protected]

greg_purcell · 01-08-2008, 01:05 AM

I would be interested in the Eagles if it gets off the ground. PM me if you get it going.

aquatix · 01-08-2008, 10:03 PM

I may be interested in Miami if you get it going: [email protected]

GenoAndo · 01-08-2008, 11:02 PM

i would like the redskins. i'm currently in shiba football.

just curious, what kind of experience do you have running MP leagues?

PiemasterUK · 01-09-2008, 01:23 AM

I would potentially be interested, although I've never played MP before so I would be a bottom-dwelling noob.

Wouldn't mind what team, I'll give anything a crack.

Tasan · 01-09-2008, 01:28 AM

I'd be interested. I'd love to have a run with the Cowboys. I may also have access to cheap web hosting, if you need it.

Brownkeg8 · 01-10-2008, 08:49 PM

would be interested in the Colts

flying-elvis · 01-11-2008, 02:23 PM

Is the idea of this league dead?

freddylamar · 01-12-2008, 02:11 AM

Someone that knows how to run a league needs to get this thing started. Im a huge Bears fan and would love to take control of the team. There seems to be plenty of interest and Im sure the teams would fill up fast if we actually got this thing running. Hopefully someone will man up and get this thing started.

AlmightyCheezus · 01-16-2008, 01:13 AM

hopefully someone can get this going.....if we can, I'm definitely in, and i want Tampa Bay

claystone · 01-21-2008, 04:31 PM

I'm interested. I'll take the Cowboys or Texans.

bmerryman · 01-22-2008, 04:40 AM

serrano77 · 01-28-2008, 08:53 PM

i'd be interested in a team

flying-elvis · 01-29-2008, 11:56 AM

OK Guys,

So far we have:

BIGDAWG - Lions
FLYING-ELVIS - Chargers
FREDDYLAMAR - Bears
GREG_PURCELL - Eagles
AQUATIX - Miami
GENOANDO - Redskins
PIEMASTERUK - Team to be Chosen
TASAN - Cowboys
BROWNKEG8 - Colts
ALMIGHTYCHEEZUS - Bucs
CLAYSTONE - Texans
BMERRYMAN - Team to be Chosen
NORVTURNEROVERDRIVE - Team to be Chosen
DINOBASSI - Patriots
HELL ATLANTIC - Giants
SERRANO77 - Team to be Chosen

Thats a pretty good base so is there a commish about who wants a league??

Anthony · 01-29-2008, 12:08 PM

that's half a league, with more likely to come when a website is actually formed.

NorvTurnerOverdrive · 01-30-2008, 01:27 AM

With football season ending I may be forced to do something productive with my spare time. This cannot be.

I'll take the Cards.

hahahahaha, that's one of the funniest, yet truest posts i've ever seen. I think we all feel that way. Football season shall never end!

tarcone · 01-30-2008, 04:30 PM

Ill take the Broncos

serrano77 · 01-30-2008, 10:02 PM

i´d take the raiders

BigDawg · 01-31-2008, 08:21 AM

Well I could possibly try to run a league. I ran FBPRO leagues before and I currently run an OOTP league. But to do this I would need help. Two main things... webspace and/or a guy to run the web site, also a current or former FOF commish to give me a little insite on the ins and outs of running a league like about how much time is needed, basic process of running sims and handling the files to import and such.

Basicly I do a lot of the grunt work, sims, tranactions, uploading files, processing drafts and such. would need another co commish to handle the more flashy web site stuff.

anyone interested is a joint venture drop me a line at [email protected]

legendsport · 01-31-2008, 03:50 PM

Well...... I've got a ton of webspace I'm not currently using, so I could host this thing, and also put up the basic website. Probably not as "fancy" as AUFL's site because I wouldn't have time, but I could hook BigDawg up with FTP access to the league folder and build a basic Joomla-based framework for the site for someone else to update. Maybe something similiar to the site for my next league, the Blood and Guts league - but with a forum too (BAG'll have a forum someday, right now it's just starting up).

I don't want to commit to having time to publish all the AUFL-type stories & stuff because I don't want my current league to suffer, but I can host the league and help with initial setup and teaching someone else how to handle the publishing and so forth (if necessary).

If anyone with PHP skills and the willingness to put them to use on our behalf ever shows up, I've got plenty of MySQL database space as well, so we could have fancy IHOF/GEFL/UFL/etc style player pages. But I've been looking for that for AUFL and haven't turned anyone up yet.

In return all I'd ask is to be the GM of the 49ers so I can see if I can return them to some semblance of respectability.

Dawg's in AUFL and has played with me in OOTP leagues as well, so we know each other and have a little bit of a track record.

BigDawg · 02-01-2008, 06:14 AM

Cool , I try to get with you this weekend and see what we can come up with

anyone else who can help out would be great, a guy that could update the web site and write stories once we get the page set up??

flying-elvis · 02-01-2008, 02:21 PM

Cool guys, thanks. I have a wide collection of NFL graphics, logos, helmets, pics etc and can create logos, headers, banners etc if required. Not much good at web site stuff though

BIGDAWG - Lions
FLYING-ELVIS - Chargers
FREDDYLAMAR - Bears
GREG_PURCELL - Eagles
AQUATIX - Miami
GENOANDO - Redskins
PIEMASTERUK - Team to be Chosen
TASAN - Cowboys
BROWNKEG8 - Colts
ALMIGHTYCHEEZUS - Bucs
CLAYSTONE - Texans
BMERRYMAN - Team to be Chosen
NORVTURNEROVERDRIVE - Team to be Chosen
DINOBASSI - Patriots
HELL ATLANTIC - Giants
SERRANO77 - Raiders

are the teams so far, a good start.

Anthony · 02-02-2008, 11:40 AM

claystone · 02-02-2008, 10:56 PM

BigDawg · 02-03-2008, 01:49 AM

Just messing around with making league files today see how it all works, also looking up any fac or other such info on the board about MP and commish stuff. After the super bowl tommorow I intend to drop joe a note and see about us getting a web site together.

also might put a message board together so we can move it over their and start the process of offical signups and other stuff. So just some pre league homework on my end at this point.

Also note theirs is a good chance I will be switching ISP's at the end of febuary... comcast is just getting to expensive and I think I can get a lot cheaper deal with AT&T so we probibly wont be officaly starting the league till after that so lets say March... spring football !!!!! LOL

For now anyone have ideas for cool names for the league? for the artists out their a logo to go along with it would rock. My first choise is now taken so I open it up to you all for idea's

Hell I wouldnt mind to wait for that as well, could we get this file to have real 08 draft class included? hehe

flying-elvis · 02-03-2008, 06:05 PM

Had a quick play with a logo, if anyone has a good name let me know though!

AlmightyCheezus · 02-03-2008, 11:01 PM

i have no idea about anything when it comes to websites, but i could possibly write stories if needed. i'm not sure if you'd want them written by a certain time or such, as my work schedule varies, but i would be willing to try and help if need be.

freddylamar · 02-05-2008, 11:30 AM

Still interested in the BEARS!

NorvTurnerOverdrive · 02-05-2008, 08:17 PM

Setting up the website should fill out the league in a hurry. As far as moving forward that should be priority numero uno. I could build a basic html frame to get the ball rolling if that would help.

Militant · 02-05-2008, 10:24 PM

If you are still looking for coaches I am interested... PM me for my email

Dunleavy · 02-05-2008, 11:26 PM

Hoosier

Fluzao · 02-07-2008, 11:14 AM

flying-elvis · 02-07-2008, 01:07 PM

Serrano has chosen the Raiders in a previous post.

Thats ok, I forgive you

freddylamar · 02-07-2008, 07:08 PM

So has anyone decided to get this league up and running? Just wondering if we have an admin. yet. Is there a date that we will be getting a website? Ground rules? Sims per week? Any info would be great. If we have this many people interested we should definately be past this step. Looking forward to seeing everyone on our new league forums.

Anthony · 02-07-2008, 10:12 PM

we should sim 2 games per week. say, a game on monday and a game on thursday. we'd be using real players so we don't have to worry about an inaugural draft.

most every league incorporates the same set of rules, so it's not like we need the Magna Carta as our constitution to get this off the ground.
