We try as well, as we have been the last 3 seasons - we just can't seem to string together 2 solid games in a row against other Pro teams.
This season we had decent wins against the Pimps ...

http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=449501

& recently against UFA ...

http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=454717

But then we had a terrible performance against the FootballGuys, a close loss to the Wop Wops or whatever - & we got our asses kicked by the Benitos ... I will ALWAYZ schedule games against other Pro teams & I think APL is finally starting to get some respect because of what LOL & now the Bugeaters have done. I would like to see more of our "Top" teams schedule some tougher games as well, but we're getting there ...

Majech, if you'll notice I have mentioned Lion (specifically Botswana), and APL as a whole. But as I stated in those posts, our problem as a League is not whether we are any good or not, it's about getting others to notice us. Like it or not, games played in APL aren't going to mean shit. Teams HAVE to scrimmage other PRO level teams outside of APL for us to get any kind of recognition. Something I give credit to Botswana for. Something TLGoT, LOL, and DD also do. Can you tell me who else in Lion schedules PRO level scrims? And I'm not talking about 1 damn scrimmage game against SAPL for our challenge. If not, then all of your "we want respect in Lion" is falling on deaf ears (talking about the rest of GLB). I'd love to see some of the other Elephant teams schedule more scrims too (yeah, I'm talking to you SLS ) as well as the other top Lion teams. Until that happens, you won't get any credit for being in a competitive conference, no matter who you beat (again, to those outside APL)


we're starting to. just lost to some USA Pro team that ran the ball 97% of the time. sucks...

OTR's a good team, but they also have a lot of the same GMs as the Cheating Cheetahs. I'm not surprised they would run that much.

I agree. It is all about creating a persona, attitude, and scrimmaging other leagues.

We have to make others take notice of us and stir things up and just playing our normal games isn't going to do that.


I agree. I've been trying to really promote APL in the rankings committee. Your buddy JoeyBarber whined that I voted for Bots, but no one else will vote for us. Hell, we've beaten 2 of the top 15 teams on the list and are in the final 8 in the GWT. It's not about Bots to me though, it's about the league. The more teams from APL that get votes, the more those teams are posted, the more we are in the minds of voter, and the more respect we get. After Joey whined, quite a ruckus blew up about the APL so I'm thinking my madness is starting to work. About an hour later we beat the Barracuda, I thought that was a nice touch Unless some bad things happen, I'm thinking we'll have at least 2 teams in the top 25 next week...and just think if it is a LION team.....


We appreciate your work maj. I'm thinking we can get Bots/LOL both in the rankings?

I can't agree more we need to get more teams from the APL in PRO level scrimmages. ESPECIALLY the lion, we have good teams there but no one will notice us until we play outside of the lion conference. Rhinos, Kings, and Warrior Kings you all should be trying to scrimmage outside of APL to get us out there. You all have very good teams and I think we can win some of these games and get noticed. I would include the Dream on that list but I think they made it clear that they are a farm team or something that they don't give a rats ass about the APL.

In short set up some games and help get the APL off of the bottom rung of the Pro league scale.

Teams like LOL, DD, TLGoT, and BB have all gotten the ball rolling and we are in a good spot to strike and make a name for our league!!!

Should have the best play the best in one league...Then these tourneys, and scrimmages would not matter ...IMHO

I kinda like the way things are working now. It's like having college football with the different conferences, and without the shitty BCS.
