Alternative GWJ Leagues?

I'd like to think there are a few of us out there who may want to be involved in a GWJ League of some sort but just don't have the funds/capability to get involved in the annual NHL/NFL/MLB leagues as they are currently represented in their XBox360 forms.

So i'm proposing that perhaps some of us can get together to play a slightly easier league to run, which would probably be PC-oriented and a text-based sim. The choices, i'm happy to say, are pretty good. Eastside Hockey Manager's still around and kicking, and Front Office Football 2007 was just recently released. There's also Out of the Park Baseball 2006, Bowl Bound College Football, Fast Break Basketball and even Football Manager 2007.

I know the last time I attempted this with OOTP, it ended in what we'll kindly refer to as a miserable failure, but I have hope.

So, anyone interested?

You can count me as interested. However I have yet to see one of these attempts succeed, which is why I watched your last trainwreck from the sidelines, if you will recall.

If you can get a vibrant (or even semi-vibrant) league going, I will gladly join. I prefer Baseball, Hockey, and Football. Real football, not the one with the shortpants.

Bah, where were you in September? This year's Madden league was PC-based and had all of 4 people.

That being said, if it's football, I'm interested.

That's the rub, really. I'm looking for a league I can actually be involved in during the schoolyear, and anything that requires serious, online gaming is out, because ResNet is filled with tools. Anything that could be done PBEM style or something, that'd be perfect.

I might be interested in Hockey.

So that's what, two hockeys and a football? Anyone else?

I smell something.

**sniff*

Yep, it's death.

Sorry, baby. I was pulling for you.

---Seriously, we could go to a more sports oriented site and all of us join the same noob league.... AFtR, I was baseball, Hockey, Football
