NFBC Hall of Fame?

Post by Less than Dave » Thu Feb 21, 2008 4:27 am

I'm pretty sure this topic has come up before, but are you going to make a Hall of Fame for the NFBC? A list of all the previous winners of leagues, overall titles, satellites even? You could even include bios on them, with the questions you ask each league winner after they win. I think that would be pretty cool.

LTD - it has been discussed for NFBC and NFFC and I think most of us agree with Greg that we should be further into the life of the competition before we try and put together a Hall of Fame - there have only been four years of play so far.



In addition, Greg and Tom and Krause do a great job of recognizing the winners both here on the boards and in the magazines.

This is true - good point.

I do think a list of previous year's league and top 10 (or so) winners from the main, as well as previous Ultimate/Satellite League winners would be cool to see though.

It's a good idea and I have said that I would be in favor of doing something like this once we have a few years under our belt. You have to play at least 10 years in the big leagues to qualify for the MLB Hall of Fame, so I think we need more time here as well. No need to induct Shawn yet until he can prove these first four years just weren't good luck. ;)



I have tried to hold onto all of the live event winners' names and even the satellites, and I have asked STATS to create personal bio pages this year for all to see so that we could track past champions. I'm not sure if that will get done this year, but the request is in and STATS has told me they can do it.



One day, I promise to hire more staff and make this a priority. For now, we're just trying to get our e-mail fixed and sell out another baseball event before then trying to sell out a football event. One day, we'll create an NFBC Hall of Fame and create a wing on the home page for our special members. Good call.

His home is bigger than the city of Iola, Wisconsin. He makes more money in a minute than I do in a lifetime. Hmmmm, yeah, I'd trade this job for something else. ;)



But he doesn't have season tickets to Lambeau Field!!! Gotcha there, Tiger. ;)
