Looking closer at it, and knowing the history: I would like to shed some light.
Big Cali- answers questions...Hokieman does not. Fact- Big Cali was asked why he swapped to the APL...His reply was do to finances...When Hokie was asked about the teams name change and more importantly why he left the USA BORG- Hokie refused to answer the question.
Big Cali- runs to different leagues when the going gets tough...Hokieman never had a tough time in APL....Hokies team is the only Pro team ever in the history of the APL to win the championship every season. We have no idea what kind of leader hokie is because he has never faced adversity.
Someone brought up the point that Hokie was here from day 1 and through tough recruiting and hard work he built up his team....Um if you count passing players from one USA ORG team to another hard work, and also picking players from a USA ORG draft hard work...Well you get my point....With this great USA ORG team he was given day 1...he was able to get fan support to 100-100-100, make boat loads of money, and now is way ahead of the other owners in APL....Now the last couple of seasons he has recruited more then he originally had to do....Now since his team, has the finances, and the repuatation, he washes his hands of the association with USA Org, an all new APL teams look at him like some type of great owner....When in my mind...he was given a team, and hasn't proved squat...
So this is the facts....Decide what you will with them....I will say my goal as team owner is to reamian one of the oringnal named 6 teams left of the first 16 in APL Elephant, and someday hope to win the APL, doing it the right way...recruiting, hard work, game planning, and not using a draft, or trading players with an Org.

Honestly I would love to understand what the hell your smoking, Hokie recruited all the players on this team it isn't like people were forced to join LoL... Hokie also understands that networking is the secret to anything in life if you would of been part of the ORG you would understand that every team was owned and managed individually, what the ORG was suppose to be was a bunch of owners sharing tips, what the org ended up beings is a bunch of people talking about builds and strategy.
When the Galaxy Aces folded I had my pick of anywhere I wanted to go and that includes many great teams like the Santiago Benitos (6 time champions) or any USA Pro team and many others, the reason I moved the majority to the LoL wasn't cause they keep winning it was because hokie treats his players with respect, all I had for the first 3 season was 1 Guard and he still PMed me and talked to me regularly.
I've been on these forums quite a bit lately and have to say your taking your whole drama too far, I know its only a game but show people a bit of respect, its fine to not agree with everyone but at least be civil about it.
