I miss the threads from season one where owners would post that they had a game in 2 hours and needed as many human dots as possible.

Also, the 200 offers you would get the minute you posted you had a dot available.

The was a perfect storm brewing... way back in Season 1.

#1 Players got XP based on the number of plays they had per game
#2 There were no roster size limits--teams used to roll 70+ deep
#3 There was no trade deadline
#4 There was no such thing as team chemistry

Tim Harper owned the Chicago Mustangs in USA Pro, and the Alberta Mustangs in Canada Pro.

He made me a GM on both teams, back when being a GM actually meant something. My job was to set the depth charts to ensure the maximum number of players got the maximum number of plays, and make sure no one fell too far behind. By using 2 teams, we could have more players getting max XP.

The day before the first playoff game, we pulled half of the Alberta roster over onto the Chicago roster. We rolled through the playoffs, and won a surprisingly tight game in the Championship.

It's kind of relevant that this was way before World League was invented. At the time USA Pro had the toughest teams (granted no one really knew if GLB was going to last, so everyone built balls out with no thought to the long term affects of ALGs or anything like that) .

So the Mustangs were basically the first "network" to practice "collusion", before those terms were even associated with GLB. We didn't realize exactly what we were doing at the time. A lot of agents owned multiple teams and we assumed that they would be doing the same thing. There was some collusion going on, with players getting traded for better ones, but we just over killed the concept and brought it to everyone's attention.

The next season, of course there were big changes, namely a trade deadline, and rules about Collusion, and the catch phase "the spirit of the game" was coined.

Over the course of a couple seasons, XP per play went away, and max roster sizes came into affect, as well as team chemistry.

The Mustangs faded away, as the math of the game came into prevalence. That was a great first season though.

Drunkenly telling catch ear to ear on glb radio that zone defense was broken, challenging him to prove me wrong, watching him fail miserably taking a good moose jaw team to 4-12 (or so) and then watching as he ate crow, very, very quietly.

I don't think there has ever been a radio broadcast better than that one.
