Yes, and I had the wait two days to inform you that I ate at Red Robin the other day! 

Thank God the site is back up!!!   I mistakenly told my wife that it was down.  She had me binge watching Love Island USA Season 8 last night.

Hey All - Sorry I did not warn you all before hand as it had to happen pretty quickly, but the website and forums are now on a new server. We had to upgrade due to end of life on the OS for the server that was way long over due and our hosting provider basically was honking at us to make the move. In the process of upgrading, the server now has double the speed and storage and also is costing me less now per month to make it run. So all wins. ---- The future of the forums though is hanging in the balance. The current forum software has an End of Life at the end of this year. The new version is ridiculously pricesd beyond what I am willing to justify it for. I could continue to run the forums on the current software, but we risk exposure on the security side.  One thing I am looking at is transitioning the forums to a Discord Server which actually can open up a lot of opportunties going forward. However, some of you all might not be familiar with Discord at all.  There is a poll attached for you all to respond to... you can also reply on here to let me know your thoughts and feelings. Thanks!

As many factors as possible to identify the candidates for "OPEN Division" should be used, but my thing it is easier to hit a target with a shotgun than a 22 caliber rifle.   Which is why college football increased the number of teams that get in and if you recall Miami snuck in over much criticism and almost won the whole thing.  In previous years they wouldn't have participated.  Increase the number to 16 which has been my take all along and you have at least mathematically a better chance to have the best teams at seasons end to be included in the group.  Simply put, more than 8 teams play the annual transfer game.  Just an "OLD TIMER'S" take. 

100%  I posted this exact thing above.
