So much can be said about what is happening in the league right now. The Lions and Rev are dominating. The Shock are back to their normal choke when it matters selves. The Idaho/Montana teams can't beat Utah. Etc.
So here are my thoughts. No one wants to play the "Big 3/4". Teams say they do but they really don't. And for multiple reasons. Those teams are good. They are the "Big 3/4" for a reason. Just look at the AAA championship scores since 2006. (Bears and Wolverines are really just the Rev, let's be honest.) Another reason is because of how good they are. Just ask them. They will all tell you that you aren't good and don't deserve to play with them, talk to them or even look at them. They are elite and they will let you know. So here is what I think. Let's let them be elite. Let's treat them like the kings that they are. Let's give them their own SDS division. (S#!+ Don't Stink). Let them make their own rules, invite their own teams (Vegas) and do their own thing.
We can then have the remaining Utah teams play Idaho. Yes, I am leaving Montana out, Sorry Brad. In my opinion, Snowdevils go away after this season. We are all just weekend warriors, so Loco Express will look for a Minor League League that will have the same goals and values of making the AAA Hall of Fame. That only leaves GF and we saw how they traveled this weekend. This could be the AAA division.
We keep the AA as is for now. Games have been competitive. Add a team here or there.
We have been joking ourselves that we only have 2 divisions. We really have 3-4 "skill levels" in this league.
If a 5-team AAA pissed people off, what do you think a 3-team SDS division would do? You don't make small divisions based on the skill level of 3 teams. If you do that, what do you do with the Guardians? They are on their very own level (basement level). I could see us having a strong AAA and a strong AA every season. We need to realize that having a healthy AA and a Healthy AAA are essential to having a strong league, with greater participation from teams. And if the league gets big enough, we could have a A division as well.
Yes, we all respect the Power 3 teams for what they have accomplished, and for the level of competition they play at. If you want your team to get better, you have to play against teams that are at your level or better. The reason they created the AAA Bowl game is to give teams that have no chance of competing with the Power 3 teams something to play for. Many feel it is just a token, and a waste of time. Personally, I'd rather get to play in the post season for something, than be hearing about games when my season is over. My opinion is that we can't let the AA suffer just to have more AAA teams that struggle competing against non-power 3 teams: I'm not gonna name teams, but the Cobras and Matadors know who I'm talking about...
If Idaho and Montana really want to compete and win....they will need to drop their egos, get together your best athletes, create a winning brand with like minded individuals
Quit being the best player on the ****tiest team, be a playmaker on a winning team...DUH!
Awesome. "We're not going to get better so let's segregate ourselves from good teams so we can suck and not have to hear about it."
I bet your childhood birthday parties suuuuuucked.
"Red Rover, Red Rover, let Nuttin but da Truth come over." *arms crossed* "I don't WANNA!!"
In fact... you're right. Shock chokes when it counts. Kyto, since we're never going to realize full greatness, can we just forfeit the Lions and Rev games or fold altogether so people can't say that we choke? Trying is hard.

Player... just a player. Hallelujah, I'M ONLY A PLAYER!!
We're about to go into June - the most exciting time of the RMFL season - and this guy is talking about "next year" ? C'mon maaaannnn...........
THANK YOU!!! We all have our ideas on how the league should be run, yet I never see anyone challenging Brad for his spot. He still needs to get through this season, before he even wants to start thinking about next season (at least that is what I would be thinking if I were him). He has enough problems to deal with this season, to be worried about next season's problems. We have the ENTIRE OFF SEASON to talk about league structure... Can't we just play football from April through June, and worry about league structure the rest of the year?
