We actually have a bit of the same advantage you do. Our agents when we started were (and still are) part of our fantasy football league (that our team is named after), just a group of mostly Air Force guys (and me) having some fun and working together to accomplish something on here. Figuring out the game; builds, tactics, etc. as well as getting time to come in and set it up has been the main challenge. We've used our own league website to set up our tactics and stuff; it's familiar and I own the domain rights, so may as well use it
, but with offseason and the new additions, we've tried to use the GLB team forum more. (We use MyFantasyLeague, if any of you guys have heard of it. You notice we really don't have a "home city" (there is no place named Big Money that I know of), but since several of the guys are in Omaha, Nebraska (Offutt), that's where we're consider the team to be based. (I'm in the Dallas area myself, but I got outnumbered.
) That last part's not relevant to anything, just a bit of useless trivia.
(I'm way too addicted to smilies, I know.)
As hard as we've worked to get the team going and all the effort we put into it, you should have seen the celebration we had in RL when we clinched that playoff spot last season. New Year's came early.
It's just been slow, steady improvement. We hit our goal last season (winning record, playoff spot), this season the goal is to try to host a playoff game for the first time, and next year we try to go for the whole enchilada (or at least the conference championship. We might even settle for a quick appearance in Jimo's Top Five.
) We figure if we keep the goals realistic and aim a bit higher each season, we'll get there eventually, and it'll all be worth it.
