Re: A Horrible Idea

Yes, but part of the reason why Hammond was looked at was because they're Hammond...and everyone expects something good out of last year's National Champs. That's nothing against your team - in my book it's more of a compliment....a community of 800 teams looks to your team as one that consistently knows what to do to win. There have been conversations about this before, how there are some teams that are known all over that don't need to sell themselves as much. Hammond is one of them.

Also, he only mentioned 2001 in his signature - and since I don't know him well and he has other teams (without dates) listed in his signature, it makes an outsider assume that he wasn't on the team in 2002.

So to rephrase, it may be something good for a more popular team, but I think it's really risky for a team that isn't as well known.
