Local and state elections in Nebraska. I'm a News Director and Sports Producer for a group of radio stations.

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.

Well yeah, but wanna know why there were people willing to scout and write reports and those kinds of things? A larger user base certainly, and there's nothing that can be done about that, but also because they liked the manager, were interested in the team, and wanted to contribute because of the manager recruiting them or getting them somehow invested in the program.

I look at it this way. Take FML Radio for example. It's really cool and chek did a great job with it! Lots of people want to be interviewed and involved! Has plenty of readers every week. But how many of those people do you think would've been interested in starting the series? Probably not a lot. I think the NT coach has to be someone like Chek, who will start it off and get people involved. People will be more than willing to help if they are engaged, but not many want to put in the beginning work of setting a foundation.

Alright let's put the debates on radio and then on TV. I'm guessing Nixon will win the hearts via radio but Kennedy will win the hearts via TV.

I don't think Isaiah needs any defending. If Isaiah is good enough for two-time NBBA/USA Cup winner A-Dub, he is good enough for me. The work that he is done rebuilding our scouting infrastructure is pretty remarkable. i agree 100% with adchester. Tactics are not the most important part of being NT. Creating and maintaining the infrastructure to create players needed to win Gold medals is tireless and thankless task. We now have seen a lot of movement of our best managers buying and training American prospects. If you want to be salty about tactics, come over and participate.

The NT needs 130-140+ TSP players to compete for Gold Medals. The USA community knows that Isaiah has trained NT-calibur players like Bowman Smeall. What NT calibur players have you trained and if do not have experience in training those types of players, how will you guide the training of players that you have no experience?

Appreciate the backing everyone. Let me just say, Chekreyes and Khenry just showed me a completely different way to get users involved in the NT. I have so many ideas now for community growth and fun ways to garner attention. This is going to be freakin fun.

There are other things that I address besides tactics. I would recommend reading the FML radio debate segment to get a better idea (279604.1)

These questions go to both candidates. I think whoever is manager will have to be more focus on scouting, training and getting people involved. I don't think we'll have the talent that we normally so I'm not expecting much from a W/L standpoint. How do you plan on getting people to train NT players? How do you plan on getting our scouting better and how will you get people involved?
