GM Change, Des Moines Kernels
Man....it's tough to see Lynchy go. Honestly, I am still in denial that he's not going to be with us anymore.
Big shoes to fill....luckily I found a fella from the OOTP Forums who seems to truly understand what a GM needs to bring to the table in an online writing league. Blake Camden (Blake) is the new GM of the Des Moines Kernels.
Welcome to the league, Blake. We're very very excited to have you on board.

Re: GM Change, Des Moines Kernels
Why did Lynchy leave?
Anyway, welcome Blake.
Good luck in the MBBA.

Re: GM Change, Des Moines Kernels
Thank you. Good to be here. I like the looks of my team so far. I'm excited to get going.
Re: GM Change, Des Moines Kernels
Looks that way. I'm still in it. Hopefully with the changes I make I can get above .500. I usually take a dip at first but then once I tinker with everything I start to improve.JimBob2232 wrote:Welcome..but dont get too comfortable....the FL Midwest is a dog-fight.

I think Matt posted that he was in two leagues and couldn't do both anymore.scottsdale_joe wrote:Why did Lynchy leave?

Re: GM Change, Des Moines Kernels
It had gotten to the point where I couldn't commit to two writing leagues anymore with so much going on in my personal life (work, baby, house on the market, etc.). The writing was on the wall when I tried to write my preview about 11 different times and just couldn't do it. I wish you guys all the best.scottsdale_joe wrote:Why did Lynchy leave?
