  1. This is what the damn NHL should have become

    24 team league

    Eastern Conference

    Atlantic Division

    Boston Bruins

    New Jersey Devils

    New York Islanders

    New York Rangers

    Philadelphia Flyers

    Washington Capitals

    Northeast Division

    Buffalo Sabres

    Detroit Red Wings

    Montreal Canadiens

    Ottawa Senators (expansion '92)

    Pittsburgh Penguins

    Toronto Maple Leafs

    Western Conference

    Central Division

    Chicago Blackhawks

    Colorado Avalanche (moved from Quebec in 1995)

    Dallas Stars (moved from Minnesota in 1993)

    Houston Aeros (moved from Winnipeg in 1996)

    Minnesota Wild (moved from Hartford in 1997)

    St. Louis Blues

    Pacific Division

    Anaheim Ducks (expansion '93)

    Calgary Flames

    Edmonton Oilers

    Los Angeles Kings

    San Jose Sharks (expansion '91)

    Vancouver Canucks

    I do agree that the NHL overexpanded and that Houston would have been a better destination than Phoenix. Any particular reason you went with Anaheim over Tampa Bay?

  2. If anyone would like, I have an excel sheet that gives you exact mileage "as the crow flies" for how far away every team is in comparison to another.

    I have MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, MLS and D1A College Football.

    Just give me your e-mail and I can send you the excel file.

    Kind of a half bump/half if anyone has any specific request for any league outside of Division 1 College Basketball which I am currently working on, I can do it as well.

    Damn, I was working on something like that for college football, except it was driving distances (except for Hawaii).

    Anyway, here's my (and probably other people's) NBA idea. No more conferences, just five divisions of six teams.

    PACIFIC

    Lakers

    Clippers

    Warriors

    Kings

    Blazers

    Suns

    SOUTHWEST

    Jazz

    Nuggets

    Spurs

    Mavericks

    Rockets

    Thunder

    SOUTH

    Grizzlies

    Hornets

    Heat

    Magic

    Hawks

    Bobcats

    CENTRAL

    Timberwolves

    Bucks

    Bulls

    Pacers

    Pistons

    Cavaliers

    EAST

    Wizards

    Raptors

    76ers

    Knicks

    Nets

    Celtics

    Top 16 make playoffs, division champions guaranteed home court advantage in first round. All-Star teams picked same way as in the NHL.

  3. The SEC should stay the same, The Big 10 adds Nebraska,Notre Dame, Rutgers, Pitt and Mizzou. The Pac 10 adds the Big 12 South.

    Mountain West adds Boise St, Kansas, and Nevada. Kansas St to Big East. Iowa St and Baylor go to C-USA.

    Ideally there are 120 FBS schools, so there should be 10 12 team conferences, but for some reason it never does.

    South Alabama is starting a football program which is supposed to be in the Sun Belt by 2013, so there will be 121 FBS schools.

  4. If the Big 12 does cease to exist in a few years the Big Ten should grab the five north schools left out in the cold.

    Yeah I know the Big Ten wants an east coast presence (jamming the Big Ten network into NYC to rake in the $$$$) with Rutgers and would basically do anything to grab Notre Dame (more $$$$). Iowa State & Kansas State would pretty much bring nothing to the table but Kansas, Missouri & Nebraska would.

    East - Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue

    West - Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Wisconsin

    If this happened, I would then have Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State go to the SEC, and Texas Tech, Baylor and Colorado to the Mountain West, who would take over the Big Twelve's automatic BCS berth and split into two divisions. The remaining bowl tie-ins would by divvied up among the three conferences. So, to recap:

    SEC East: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt

    SEC West: Arkansas, LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M

    MWC North: Air Force, BYU, Colorado, Colorado State, Utah, Wyoming

    MWC South: Baylor, New Mexico, San Diego State, TCU, Texas Tech, UNLV

  5. Has anybody got any basketball or football templates that will work with paint? I can't afford corel draw or illustrator and tried zonedraw3 and inkscape with no luck. :cry:

    I used one of STLFanatic's templates in Paint for one of my concepts, and it turned out all right.
