What is the Ocho?
Founded in Season 2, USA BBB #8 quickly became one of the most competitive leagues in all of GLB, pumping out successful team after successful team, sending many teams to the PRO leagues and beyond. The name "The Ocho" stems from the failed news service BBBSPN 8 "The Ocho" ( http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=456785 ). While the news service was short lived, The name stuck, and league members took to calling themselves "The Ocho"

Claim to Fame
While many like to remember the Ocho for the elite teams it pumped out at such an alarming rate, the true source to the leagues fame stems from The Ocho's high point, at which time the league was able to go 4-0 against USA PRO, including the infamous Galaxy Aces. No other league has ever enjoyed as much success against such stiff competition:

My memory is a bit fuzzy going that far back and we didn't come into the league until S2 so some of this might be wrong.

Bridge City Trolls, motherfucker.

And the Knights started in A4, were relegated, and eventually made it back up.

<--- used to play for George West Longhorns and then bought the team that was the Maryland Predators, changed the name to the Victoria Teabaggers. We are in SEA AAA now if that puts us somewhere on the list.
