THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!!
I am pleased to announce the Division re-alignment for the 2008 season (and beyond):
DIVISION 1: The Collective Hive Juggernauts Football Buddah Jager Bombs Chris' Condors John's Jackrabbits The Football GURU Wunderlichers DIVISION 2: Barrister Fundamentals Nea Kameni Argonauts Nappy Headed Ho's Beaver Valley Blindside The Secondary My Goodness, My Guinness As you will notice, the Division names are currently "generic". I'd like to solicit the input of the league on coming up with possible Division names.
The Collective and The Dominion, remind me too much of the "RZB", and the though to naming a division after a current NFL player (L.T.) just didn't seem right to me.
So, post your suggestions on the two Conference Names, and the winning entry will earn 5 BLB's.
You have until Wednesday 2/20/08 to submit your suggestions (no, really - this time I'll wait until Wednesday, 2/20/08!).

The Collective and The Dominion, remind me too much of the "RZB"-------------- To get complete Strek nerd on everyone, The Collective and The Dominion are both enemies of the Federation in Star Trek. Just thought that was interesting. The Dominion en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_(Star_Trek)The Cllective Hive en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borg_(Star_Trek)Why not go with something simpy like Northern and Southern. Pacific and Atlantic. Lunar and Solar, or after great empires like Ottoman and Roman, or Persian Byzantine

Buddah,
My only problem with the conference alignments is that I would like to be in the same conference as My Goodness, My Guinness. We battle each other in Fantasy Baseball as well, so I'd like to keep the rivalry.

I am open to any names, including the ones used in the original TBL.

I suggest in keeping in line with TBL's conferences (Alpha and Omega) we go with Alpha and Delta, the two greek letters signifying the fraternity in Animal House. Thoughts?

To honor two big league'ers who were taken away from the game before their time.

The thought is nice...but I have to agree with Loq...also the Patriots Marquise Hill died right before training camp in '07 as well. I think we should look for something more permanent...not just relating to recent events.

I think the term should be "Conference Realignment" since I assume the game right before the Blitzbowl will be a "Conference Championship game".
I say go with either Hall of Famers or legendary coaches.
Maybe the Lombardi Conference(LFC) and the Ditka Conference(DFC).
Since there seems to be a little Steeler and Cowboys affection within the league you could go Noll Conference (NFC) and the Landry Conference (LFC) - - but I prefer Lombardi and Ditka.
Same with great players, but they need to be HoFers and not active. I would vote for this after the coaches above.
J. Namath Conference (NFC) and the W. Payton Conference (PFC)
Just a few thoughts.

Ditka? legendary coach? How about Stram, Shula, Noll, Landry, etc.... Not sure if Ditka is in that league....
To mimick the NFL... Instead of American and National..... How about United Football Conference (UFC) and the Liberty Football Conference (LFC) .... or along these lines... like I said I'm a traditionalist....LOL

Lombardi Football Conference (LFC) - Legendary HC wins first two Super Bowls, has trophy named after him.
Noll Football Conference (NFC) - Legendary HC is first HC to win 4 Super Bowls.
All in favor - say HARUMPF!!

I don't think they are fair as I built my team to follow the traditional NFL ... I think we should implement it slowly so all can adjust to it.... Say 2010 or so........

I vote for Lombardi and Noll with the caveat that when Belichick wins his fourth Super Bowl next season we replace Lombardi with him. :-)

I like the idea of sticking with the TBL theme. What about something like
Beta and Delta or Gamma Divisions?

Something tells me its rather difficult to get a concensus in this league.

I like Alien and Bigfoot Conferences. Or, Alien and Predator Conferences. Or, Alien and Terran Conferences. Or, Alien and (Fill in the Blank) Conferences. Or, (Fill in the Blank) and (Fill in the Blank II) Conferences.

I'm a traditionalist too.. That's why we should go East Coast vs. West Coast. The Tupac Conference and the Biggie Conference. Word.

Buddah... you're commish.... YOU PICK...... It's freaking conference names anyway.... Not a big deal! I will pick the names, I am just giving the league a chance to give me some ideas to pick from. If I picked them now, I'm sure I'll get an email from an owner saying they submitted their idea before the 2/18 deadline, and I should have stuck to the deadline... yadda yadda yadda. But, if you must know - I'm leaning towards one of the following: Alpha & Delta Lombardi & Noll Phoenix & Firebird
