Fonzie: Thanks. I had to come up with something.
condors: Me, too. I hate it when I get into something and I have to wait for computer problems to get fixed to get it going again.
DataKing: Thanks, DK. My fear is that I won't be able to keep it fresh. After all, it's going to be hard not to be repititious after a while, with so many games to present in one way or another. I do want to use some of the same formats over, because it's easier and there is value in the familiarity of a similar format as well, but there is an accompanying risk of it getting old. Maybe after a while, I'll ask you guys which ways of presentation you prefer (interviews, radio commentary or play-by-play, news conferences, newspaper articles and commentaries, spectator testimonials, maybe even narratives from on the pitch themselves, who knows...).
CK: That's not a coincidence. I'm well aware of Kettering's suckiness in the real life version of this season (for those of you who don't, Kettering Town finished in dead last in the 2002-03 season--by a lot). Interestingly enough, I also followed the same route with my Stalybridge Celtic and then to Welsh teams CM01-02 dynasty last year, having noted that in the 2001-02 season, the Celtic finished in dead last.
It might be noted with grimness here that I failed miserably with Stalybridge in that dynasty (although I had better success in Cwmbran Town in Wales), but hopefully I have picked up a few tricks to help me with the game in general.
Game One is coming!
