Check out the threads in the casinoplanet subforum. cdcox and I are starting a company that does high-level simulations of games, where you draft, trade, and sign players to fill out a 53-man roster. It's kind of the new black.

If you want a team, let me know.

I'm checking in for the Madison Brewers in League 2.

Pending cdcox's approval, I'm down with this. However, we're getting close to a commercial launch so we probably need to start being PC on the names. We've developed a database of several thousand potential team names and would appreciate it if you would pick a name from that list. However, in Leagues 1 and 2 we'll be a little more lenient and open to alternatives.

The database is enclosed in an Excel file.

Wow. Ermines didn't even make THAT list.

UND has GOT to pick that name. It's the most identifiable thing since the Billikens.

I actually added them to the database before I uploaded it, along with Flying Ermines, Fighting Ermines, and Thunder Ermines. But you're right - the database contained over 2,000 names of current and past team names at all levels, and there wasn't a single ermine to be found. It's actually staggering.

Holy shit. That's it.

Ermines is great. I think UND should go with that.

But if the university wants something that sounds more deadly that can also better resonate with who UND is as an institution, they should go with Flying Ermines. It calls on UND's aviation studies program that is second-to-none in the country while also making the mascot more deadly. After all, if you had problems dealing with an ermine before, you'll have even more problems dealing with a flying ermine.

I actually kind of like Thunder Ermines, too. It's a nice norse nod. (Say that three times.)

I just went and suggested ermines again on the nomination site. My reasoning today is that it's a completely new name that will eliminate any of the existing camps from "winning" or "losing" in the name battle.

I would also like a team please.

Aguadilla Sharks

i thought I had a team in each league, but apparently my L1 team (Overland Park Chiefs) has been turned over to someone else for some reason.

I couldn't find the thread for league onereigning champs to check in on, so I guess the Pittsburgh Tacos (don't forget, it's pronounced take-ohs) will check in here.

Also, the Corona Lights.

I'd be interested in a team if at all possible.

You gave them to me for the grand total of $1. I did an evil laugh thinking of how much money this will make me
