Most of the team are friends from other teams, so the forums are fun, and active, and a good place to network with as many as 5 other GLB owners.
Here's the team:

Some history on the team, I took ownership of the team in the middle of Season 4. There were a total of 3 human players left on the team, who all asked to be released, and I released them.
Due to cultivated friendships and a great job as a GM of the Virginia Wolverines, I was able to fill out the team at most positions but not hard to recruit/trade positions such as WR and CB. We won several games in Season 4, but the team was having severe money issues due to a small stadium and no money, as well as the cost of salaries, bonuses and trading for talent.
I came up with a master gameplan for the future:
1) Rather than firesale my players like most dick owners, I released all current players to find better homes while the Tighas were rebuilt.
2) Signed my own players, then traded them away for max cash to make money to build up the stadium so that I'd have money in Season 6 to make the Tighas a playoff contender.
3) Created a bunch of players who can be retired or traded in Season 6 for more money.
4) Take a lot of lumps in Season 5 with the created players and CPU's, while saving all that salary and bonus money to work on the stadium.
So don't let the record from Season 5 scare you, I took those losses on purpose to be able in a position to throw a ton of cash at you in salary and equipment bonuses.
Looking for a kicker and a punter, so send me a PM or post here and I'll get with you.
Thanks!
