Re: EBA
IT IS ALLLLLLLIVE!!!!
In all seriousness we have been going thru a revolving door of BBA GMs as is (boise has had at least 2 GMs since you left), I don't see anyway we can support an additional league at this point.

Re: EBA
Lol.... Part of Twin Cities's past success is due to the expansion draft from the EBA going away...
I think many of the GM's had two teams? One in both?
Not sure though.

Re: EBA
The Rule 6 was super fun and a great way for rebuilding teams to get competitive quicker. I miss it like the desert misses the rain.

Brett, you should see me in the GB forums. At least weekly I'm pining for the return of the EBA.

Re: EBA
The good thing about the EBA was that BBA GMs would control them when they were vacant. Being a secondary, lower level league it was not really as important to keep it fully stocked.usnspecialist wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 2:46 pmIT IS ALLLLLLLIVE!!!!
In all seriousness we have been going thru a revolving door of BBA GMs as is (boise has had at least 2 GMs since you left), I don't see anyway we can support an additional league at this point.
The best thing about it was that it forced prospective GMs to PROVE that they had what it took to EARN a spot in the BBA. You couldn't get a BBA franchise unless you put some time in the EBA. I was EBA for at least 1 season, maybe close to 2. As were Tyler, and I believe Ron as well. It really helped to ensure the quality of GMs coming into the BBA.
Anyway, I imagine that it's a lot of work for Matt to manage, so it's probably not coming back. But I sure do miss it.

Re: EBA
After London and Brussels I'm keen to add to my EBA franchise haul lol. You could move London to Leeds
The GM's could make their own logos/uni or I'd volunteer to do them
It would be nice to see it back, and hey if it proves to be a pain in the arse you can just send it packing again. I don't suppose anybody would moan about picking the bones clean again in another contraction draft
