oilmandan Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Another question from me. If you have an EFL or ECFA related question, please submit it to the BOD and we’ll give you a good old pat on the back. Here goes Of all the contracted and rebranded teams and colleges, which one do you miss the most? And why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrest245 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Grand Rapids first team I took over as an ad, and went bye bye within a year of me taking over them. From a 0 win team to 2 wins. Almost a 200% improvement . Nah but Growlers were a lit team and wish we could bring them back 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboyinAmerica Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I had a love/hate relationship with the San Antonio Wolfpack - they literally didn't have a winning record for their first eight seasons, which caused me to be inactive the first time I was in the EFL when there was literally no path to my players trying to compete with the big teams. But I did like their story of rising from the ashes to go on to do big things after I took my EFL hiatus, and it makes me sad when an original franchise gets changed anyway. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here goes Of all the contracted and rebranded teams and colleges, which one do you miss the most? And why? The San Antonio Wolfpack without a doubt. Not only was it a cool team name, but it had a great logo. The problem with the team was poverty which led to "bankruptcy." This could've changed if they had better general managers at the time. EFL needs to bring them back for nostalgia. They don't have to be an EFL team. They can be an ECFA team and replace the likes of either Biscayne Bay Pirates / Trenton Generals. Edited April 26, 2022 by A13Lions Didn't form my sentences correctly in the last few sentences. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnMyWings Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Obvi San Antonio bc that was my baby but U of M was my first baby. Those early expansion teams where we had no business winning the NC were some of my best memories in this league! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anchorage, I miss them badly, I loved turning that team around and everyone I met and connected with while coaching them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna piggyback off of CIA and say Wolfpack as well, those first few seasons were brutal but we were still there for it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnapTackleDrop Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I miss the Oregon Ducks. We had a really great group of people and a fantastic manager in HH. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saladani Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Lincoln Mammoths because they were the first destination of my QB Lunatia. I still think we could've gone on a run :(. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornholio Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 This is a fun question indeed. I’d go with Lincoln Mammoths for the ECFA when Caboose was running it. The guy knew how to run an organized, engaging LR and that made my stay there with Uno enjoyable until the uncapping year when Cab was stripped of it cause he was taking over New Orleans as for the EFL… I’d probably say San Antonio too cause AW really embodies what SA was about and that’s something is missing from todays league 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW13 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 This one is extremely hard for me because there are so many teams that I either was on or led that ended up being gone. From my old Oregon Ducks who we made it to multiple title games with, to the Miami Hurricanes who also had a title game appearance to then other destinations such as Sacramento (who I knew was going to be turned to a BOT team anyways) or Lincoln who ended up being contracted. In the end though, it has to be the Wolfpack. It was my first franchise I was drafted to in the EFL and was my last GMing position maybe ever now being a simmer at the EFL level though maybe there could be some form of checks and balances if need be. I loved that team and all the players and users who came through and it was a lot of fun. Most people will always remember AW's love for Ja LongArm and hope that pride I had in my team is something a lot of people will have in the future of this wonderful league. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgitshim Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Memphis Mambas. They played a big part in the storyline of my first player (returning to Memphis after his first franchise moved away from there) and was where I first won a ship. Not to mention winning two more there with another player (even if that 2nd partnership ended up a bit more rocky). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UZI® Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I also miss the Growlers. I didn't have a perfect relationship with management, but I signed there because they sucked and I wanted to try and help them if I could. The brand was different and I liked that and I really wish they had more success. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobcarson877 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I ave been convinced that I miss the San Antonio Wolfpack. I have never experienced them but I miss them dearly. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TacticalHammer Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Texas Longhorns. They were the true GOATs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigSnout Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 The contracted team that I miss the most is the San Antonio Wolfpack. When the league first started I really liked the Wolfpack branding right away and hoped I would get a chance to play for them at some point. And I ended up getting that opportunity when Boris Bonecrusher was drafted to the Wolfpack in Season 5. At the time, the Wolfpack were the only of the original 6 teams who had not made the playoffs yet, so it was a fun ride to watch them rise during Boris's career and ultimately win back to back championships in Season 9 and Season 10. In the end, Boris was able to play for the Wolfpack all 10 years of his career. I also got to play for the Wolfpack during the early years of Gavin Rose's career as they were the team that originally drafted him. The Wolfpack had great branding and I had fun playing for them with a couple of my players, so I will miss them now that they are gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
