BB61 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 And my game's at 11, looks like I'm not gonna go. We're having a BBQ afterwards and then all going to the Phillies game.Even though it's all in one location (the footy game at FDR Park, the Soul game at the Wachovia Center, and the Phillies game at the Bank), I don't think it'll all gel.Besides, I have this gut feeling that Cleveland's gonna win.

Seadragon76 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I told you that Grand Rapids' little magic carpet ride would come to a screeching halt at San Jose.Now, as for expansion: I'd like to see the Arena League go to 20 teams. Here's my version of what could happen...National ConferenceEastern Division: -Boston (expansion team) -Cleveland -Columbus -New York -PhiladelphiaSouthern Division: -Dallas -Georgia -New Orleans -Orlando -Tampa BayWestern ConferenceCentral Division: -Chicago -Colorado -Grand Rapids -Kansas City -Milwaukee (expansion team)Western Division: -Arizona -Los Angeles -San Jose -Seattle (expansion team) -UtahHere are my reasons for those three locations...-There really hasn't been a 'true' Boston team in Arena Football. The teams have been in either Providence or Worcester or even Hartford. This is a major chance for Boston to get a team. Granted, it could get crowded at the TD Banknorth Garden with the Celtics, Bruins, Blazers, etc. Now, I think this could work out though. Also of note is the start of rivalries with both New York and Philadelphia.-Milwaukee, for many years, had a very loyal fan base for it's team, the Milwaukee Mustangs. Why not give the fan base another chance after what seemed like a total hosing after the Mustangs were taken away in '98. Plus, you get instant rivalries with Chicago and Grand Rapids.-Another region that has been untapped by the Arena League is the Pacific Northwest. They had one team, the Portland Forest Dragons, in the league's history. Now, the Forest Dragons failed badly. With a team in Seattle, the league gets a second chance in said region and the entire division would have a new and fresh rival. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Realignment proposals in the middle of a thread should earn an immediate ban.MOD NOTE: Thank you for the suggestion. I'm sure that Chris will take it under advisement. (Sarcasm intended) Let's just all try to get along, shall we? Why create conflict where there doesn't need to be any?Thank you in advance.

Yes, Philly barely scraped out a win at the Wachovia Center against them, but this game is neutral. SabreCats by 28, easy, there's no stopping the best QB in the league in Mark Grieb, or the best WR in the league in James Roe.Besides. Philly only won their division by one game, San Jose won theirs by three games. San Jose is clearly superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because they are the Sabercats rivals doesn't mean they should fold. Watch out next year for the Rattlers they should make the West Division a whole lot more fun.

Sport Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Still, this isn't at the Wachovia Center like the last game was -- no way Philly has a chance in this one.The 2006 Chicago Rush disagree with thatI disagree as well because the game the Soul and Sabrecats played earlier this year was not played at the Wachovia center it was played at the HP Pavilion. In other words, it was a road game for the team that supposedly has no chance. Therefore, theory shot.I would like to see Philadelphia win so that city can get some sort of championship even if it's only on the Arena football level and because I'm tired of San Jose winning it all the time. They took away what was probably the Destroyers only shot at an Arenabowl championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
