Hi P. Tom, I remember you from a few seasons ago in III.12 :)
Over here in the Big 8, the tornado has won three Big 8 championships in a row, only to be knocked off by the Great 8 champion each time, he'll probably be hoping to go one better this season, but not if motor city or myself have something to say about that.
In my eyes, the Great 8 has usually been the weaker side of the draw, with maybe one or two standouts, however this season with the new additions such as yourself, plus the two promoted teams coming over to the Big 8, I thought that the Great 8 would be the tougher conference this season - that was just at a cursory glance though.
The forum has been dead the past two seasons, in 24 the most active team in here was a guy just promoted up from IV, and he went on to win the league first shot and left us behind. Last season, there wasn't a single post in here.
In more interesting news for me, my SF Dwight Catic will be going for his 3rd consecutive MVP award, and to prove to that one guy that voted against him that he got it wrong. I think I'd happily trade that though for the title this season, going to be a more team oriented focus this year.
