You guys just got indoor plumbing, what else do you want?

BTW... I liked (was it?) Fred's comment on AFBI, more interconnected Indy Leagues ... but that's a big deal on management.

Yeah, I love the idea of enough leagues for a pseudo-Champion's League type deal but I know it would be a ginormous cluster for Recte. One of those 'it would be cool if...' things.

I just spent ten minutes trying to guess (as I'm sure I could just find examples in the OOTP forum) to the format of a regulation-style organization and its roster (larger rosters and a U21-type minor league team?) and all the subsequent weird things that would cause and my nose started bleeding and I nearly passed out. So yeah, "would be cool if (and only if)..." indeed.

I'll never bring that up in front of Recte again...wouldn't wish that on my enemy.

Wow ! I'm not asking for anything that complicated lol :eek: All I was suggesting was a couple of extra UMEBA teams so we can have some fun too ;)

Just giving you hell, Nigel. :)

I would guess that Matt would actually be fine with eventually expanding the UMEBA if good GMs are around. He strikes me a sa guy who likes movement in his league [grin]. But like everything else about getting bigger, I would want to get stable for a few seasons before making more adjustments. Ultimately, like all online leagues, really. The fate of the UMEBA is in the hands of the UMEBA GMs. :) Right now the UMEBA is doing great, and you UMEBA GMs are kind of kicking a little butt. So keep it up, and put pressure on the board. Success is a great breeder of more success. :)

All I can really say with certainty is that barring success at a level that's hard to imagine, I wouldn't expect the core BBA to ever get any bigger at this point.

I loved the old Black Sox logo and uni’s. Cool that they’re back.
