I can vouch that BL/Biff would be an excellent and attentive owner. the Reds are available. however we need an even number of teams so would need 1 more for expansion.

WhiteWonder 2,675 Posted January 16 regardless of the team, if we can find 1 more solid owner who won't need their hand held or quit or vanish.. we can definitely go to 14. Would 14 still have 6 make the playoffs or would that move to 8 with no bye weeks? I looked back and its varied a lot. 2012 was my first season. 16 teams 6 playoffs. By 2015 we were 16 teams with 8 in the playoffs. 2016 was 14 teams still 8 in the playoffs and that's how it was until 2021 when it was 14 teams but only 6 made the playoffs (2020 only 4 made the playoffs but Im assuming that was a covid thing) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,675 Posted January 29 right now it sounds like we are sticking with 12, unless we can find 1 more serious and reliable owner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,675 Posted February 7 Do we want to bump the recruitment thread to see if we can find a good 14th member to go along with BiffTannen (BostonLager)? Or do we want to stick with what's been working with 12? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Burt 49 Posted February 8 28 minutes ago, bbascom said: Nope... Agree. If we increase it, find an additional team as well. With Elon all in my , I don't have time to fiigure out which of my eligibles have played for those teams. I'd like to remain involved, but I wouldn't be mad if yall wanted to expand either.

WhiteWonder 2,675 Posted February 8 Yikes. Didn’t know people would actually leave at the idea of expansion like it takes a ton of time to figure out shared players but I guess we will stick with 12. I doubt we’d get 1 more anyway let alone 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burt 49 Posted February 8 I'm not trying to strongarm you guys. I dont mind you guys expanding. If that's what yall want, I dont want to get in your way. But between lining things up for my next move after Elon finishes gutting my agency (I'm a fed, and they are already digging through our databases), and high school and 12U softball ramping up (I coach both), I just dont have any additional time or energy to devote.

Burt 49 Posted February 8 Actually, after rereading what I just typed, maybe I could step aside now and allow Biff to fill my spot. Maybe if yall expand next season, I could rejoin when I may have more time. Just a thought...I'm not quitting. Just a suggestion if he really wants to play.

It seemed like expansion was trending toward a no, anyway. We have 2 owners against it, no one besides CMH really championing for it, and the odds of us finding another owner who is not a Cdub or Edjr is probably slim.... I responded to your post specifically because it was the first I heard that anyone would consider leaving if we expanded, including your own prior posts on the subject. I totally understand not having enough time to devote. I dont feel like having 2 additional teams to factor in would push things over that line but now sounds like you were wavering regardless of expansion. Guess you need to decide your own future and if we need to find a 12th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuardBum 80 Posted February 11 At this point I really feel staying consistent with who and what teams we have is the best plan. I've always been a fan of getting the numbers back up as I feel it invited more trading as the supplemental went dryer quicker. I mean when we were at 18 the first year and 14 later for a while we didn't even have a supplemental. Really forced trades to fill the gaps. But this year I am all in with Burt as a federal worker and Elon doing ... whatever the f he's doing ... hour to hour, so less change right now would be a welcome safe space.

lambert58 71 Posted February 11 I’m back with the Cards if it is still an option. as far as expansion. I am good either way. Love the owners we have right now. Things have went really smooth the last several years. Don’t mind expansion but not sure irons necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 1,010 Posted February 11 I just renewed the league updated the OP to see who has responded. let's not rule Biff out until all have confirmed but ok with staying at 12 since that seems like the preference, and we have Biff in case someone else backs out or if Burt could use a hiatus as he mentioned. I'll start checking on those who have yet to respond. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
