Re: 2009 Season Looking Forward

Great job Looking Forward! I would like to see the AP Poll Top 25 start in Week 2 Look Back (with a Top 10).

Now that LF has a good following going I think it is time for them to contribute more than just saying "You forgot team XXXX". I want to see more tipsters next year. So if you think you know your regional, our just have a hot tip on a team drop LF a PM. Give LF all the good info possible and let him/her/them decide what is fit to print (it is fun getting your stuff "published"). Note: Please don't hype your own team , CD has enough of this noise and we want "Honest Analysis" from LF. Plus I don't want to partially responsible for a SPAM-like attack of "Pick Me PMs" on LF. Look Back stories of your team in the finals etc. are good.

This ESPN mention kinda gave me an idea that I'll throw out there. What if the community (LF, CD, TBA, SOAP) produced a 5 min Sportscenter like highlight video of each week to compliment Look Back. Of course for this to work the Coordinated Regional Archiving needs to get a little better, but it grew by leaps and bounds this year along with more webcasts, SOAP Gameday and TBA. I think this would be great for the causal FIRST Fan (who doest necessarily watch webcasts or archived match vids). I was surprised how many people on my team hadn't seen Simbots run before Championship. If it was condensed to the just the exciting stuff (w/commentary) fans expect people may take more of an interest in robots other than their own. Maybe if it is really good we can get someone (PBS etc) to air it. What do you guys think?
