The first "live" debate will take place over the course of today to be released tomorrow or Sunday. If there are specific RELEVANT questions for Isaiah or Dwight Coward BB-Mail myself or Chekreyes.

I have 1757 players for sale and I'm $25,835,360 in debt. Buy them at outrageous prices, or be selfish and make me go bankrupt. You decide, BB.

I love chek, but the fact that he is a moderator of this debate when he is very clearly biased is ridiculous to me. Isn't the whole point of a moderator is to be impartial?

I'm mostly just there to turn it into an FML Radio episode.

Because yeah, I brought up me being biased when this was getting started...

Also, throwing my 2 cents in, I think we're talking way too much about tactics. Anyone can set good tactics using some planning and common sense. It's not rocket science that most teams play LI at the NT level. It's not rocket science that there will be a couple big decisions about enthusiasm that are pretty much luck of the draw if it plays out in our favor. It's not rocket science to play the players in the best game shape. It's not even rocket science to exploit other teams weaknesses. I could do all these things. Have we ever had a manager that made stupid tactical decisions other than just not setting lineups? Not that I can remember.

What the NT needs is someone with a large personality that galvanizes the community. Who were the managers during the most successful NT/U21 stretches? Jfarb, magiker, people that engaged the community, made interesting posts in this forum, got people interested in the team! That's what we need. I don't think either of these candidates are that person. Hopefully they can become that person, or that person comes along soon.

Thnks bby 😘

Can you also ask what their favorite pop tart flavor is? It's very crucial to my decision and I can't vote without it answered.

As Chek said he is mostly along to post within his FML Radio series. The questions are being asked in an unbiased fashion , and I have experience with moderating political debates so if anything seems questionable I will speak up to change the perception/bias.

I agree in terms of the personality type to a certain point, but some of what was done while the mentioned managers were at the helm wasn't necessarily their own doing as much as it was the fact that there was more interest from the community overall. We had scouts and others around the program posting and keeping people interested in the NT performance where as now, there are very few that even discuss things about the NT. Definitely something to look at though and try to be better moving forward.
