Thanks to all the good owners!!

CommishJoe · 09-04-2002, 06:04 PM

With all the crap that has been flying on these boards of late, I felt it was time for some good stuff.

I wanted to thank all of the good owners out there. It's guys (and even some gals) like you that I've continued to commish after 3 1/2 years. You truly make a league great.

So, thanks for everything that you've done!!

Some special kudos go out to:

MajorJello .. my partner in the USBL and the TLB. No wonder why those two leagues ended up being the 2 best leagues I ever created!!

FigMan .. you ended up running the USBL at the end, and now you are taking more and more day to day control over the TLB. The league wouldn't nearly be as good without you!!

Guys like MajorJello, Figman and of course you Joe are the reasons you are surrounded by such good and loyal owners. I myself consider it an honor to be part of a league that the 3 of you represent.

Thanks, Terry

You know, I was just thinking the same thing in terms of the commissioners! I was going through my OOTP links in my "Favorites" folders; something I have not done in some time. I was amazed at how many were now dead links. It's like alphabet soup with all the league abbreviations floating around here. Some I could recall and some I could not. Anyway, thanks to the commissioners that keep the good leagues alive!

Old Man · 09-04-2002, 07:19 PM

The way it should be with thanks all around. Good commishes and owners always seem to find each other.

majorjello · 09-04-2002, 11:41 PM

Thanks guys!

It wouldn't be enjoyable without owners and commishes like yourselves.

Steve Kuffrey · 09-05-2002, 12:20 AM

Guys,

I'm just a "rookie" in the TLB but I'm really looking forward to being a part of this league.

Goody · 09-05-2002, 06:04 AM

Feel the love!

I'll take this moment to thank all the great owners in the LBA. The league has risen fast because we started with a great group of guys. You guys rock.

And the commissioners of the AFBL and CDIL, Modern Relic and jmac69 (Is that your OOTP name? Ah I'll just call you Mark...hehe) respectively. Thanks for the hard work. I know what hard work it is to run a good league and every now and then you want to relax when its a sim night but you still knock it out....thanks thanks thanks!

Steve Strzepek of BTTF · 09-05-2002, 08:39 AM

Class leagues for sure !!!

Cooleyvol · 09-05-2002, 04:46 PM

A BIG "attaboy" goes out to my group of ABA owners.

You guys are truly the best group I've ever been around and you make commishing that league an utter joy!

John C · 09-05-2002, 06:07 PM

The guys that are in the ABL are guys I've been with since 2000, some since 1998. We're pretty tight. And the new guys are fitting right in.

I see a lot of solid owners across the board, in numerous leagues. I think that's fantastic, and a real testament of how widespread OOTP-fever is.

Peace
John

USN Squid · 09-07-2002, 12:18 AM

Through 2 (simulation) years in the TLB, one thing is for sure: we have the finest commishes and owners I've ever come across. Joe, Pete, and Bob: you guys are awesome.

Specs · 09-07-2002, 12:51 AM

Thanks to Dwolfson20, 98greenc5, Rustheman, hacatt, jimbo21, and all the other guys you don't know for helping WiBL through it's first season (through Sept. 11) at 83% participation and 0% turnover. We lost two owners before the initial draft and one after two picks, but since then have lost none. They're a great group of guys.

CDL Commish · 09-07-2002, 01:41 PM

Of course I have to throw in my two cents here. I want to thank all the fine owners of the CDL including Killebrew, BigPhesta, Specs, & uksubs who is also our co-commish. There are MANY more who alot of people in the OOTP community don't know who just add to our overall strength. Though unheralded at times I strongly believe our owners are just as good as any online league out there!! You guys are the best and make my job a heck of alot easier! Thank you!
