Well, hell. Now that most (if not all) of the dust has settled, maybe it's time to offer up some suggestions for Academy of Football 2016 - assuming, of course that these games will come back in a few months. Admittedly these suggestions are made with more than a lil bias, especially since this lil old grumpy bastard is a lifelong college football fan, and was also one of the random prize winners.

1. All games should be half hour. The hour long games were more than a lil bit much, especially on Mondays when it resulted in two straight hours of sports.
2. Regardless of sponsor, all games should accumulate in players' game histories as Academy of Football (assuming that there will be different sponsors for each month as there was the past year).
3. Academy of Football should not preempt any premium games. There was way, way more than a lil outrage both here and on the Buzztime Facebook page when Playback and Topix were preempted.

4. Academy of Football should be programmed for at most every other half hour. Those several hour blocks during one month were way more than a lil too much. :cry:

Agree with all.

Also want to say I enjoyed the games.

Academy of Football more than once a day is fucking worthless.

If it must be on to gain sponsorship money, fine, but once a day only and before the prime games start please.

Of course we did win 98% of all the AoF games we had to sit through, constantly thrashing the Lil Dude. :mrgreen:

Then when it went overkill and pre-empted prime games we found other places to go and did without BT. However, it looks like we're back, but BWW and BT almost fucked it all up and lost a bunch of players.

Hopefully they have learned from the feedback that it was a disaster.

BUD, I won't call it a disaster, brudda, BUT it did curtail my Saturday play due to the overkill Joel mentioned.

Of course, I'm not a Saturday prime time guru like y'all are...but I would have been more than pissed to have it pre-empt a premium game that I go out of my way to play.
