No one has ever done that before, and it appeals to me as a project for my introduction to the feature. But I'm not going to start it until the bugs are squashed and we have the final menu of leagues.
I'm still floored that our Shreveport team was nicknamed the Gassers. What a name. Do you remember the dust up that occurred when they changed from Captains to your forum name? I think people were just looking for a reason not to go to their games anymore, but you would have thought the sky was falling when they became the Swampdragons. By the way, have you driven by Fairgrounds field lately. Makes me want to cry.
