(it makes it easier for people without any other mates who want to play)</P><P>But on the flip side, that has the problem of people who want to play with their friends and well, who doesnt?</P><P>If you were interested in helping get this thing started, pm me.

Hopefully, if we get a good enough response, we can spread it and create more leagues with an aim of increasing awareness of the sport of gridiron and hopefully gain some new players.</P><P>The Buccs have over the last 2-3 yrs picked up at least 5 players from our old little league, who knows what It could achieve with more effort.Tue, 18 Aug 2009 23:26:28 GMTvancarezhttp://www.thebear.com.au/FindPost18830.aspxso... lets do this already.Mon, 17 Aug 2009 10:19:50 GMTRoyhttp://www.thebear.com.au/FindPost18829.aspxI wouldn't mind coming out of retirement and shutting down some receivers...Mon, 17 Aug 2009 09:34:53 GMTJDhttp://www.thebear.com.au/FindPost18800.aspxDid this Flag football thing ever happen?</P><P>Would consider coming out of retirement and toasting some CBs...Thu, 13 Aug 2009 22:42:24 GMToriginal_warriorhttp://www.thebear.com.au/FindPost16449.aspxguess its ok. seeing as its non-contactish. lolWed, 14 May 2008 05:06:27 GMTsirfanehttp://www.thebear.com.au/FindPost16446.aspxi have no problems having girls on my team and i give you a no complain guarantee.<br>Wed, 14 May 2008 02:54:11 GMTRoyhttp://www.thebear.com.au/FindPost16438.aspxi guess that would be a good idea. but then you would get people complaining about fairness.Tue, 13 May 2008 05:48:56 GMTsirfanehttp://www.thebear.com.au/FindPost16429.aspxThat's not as ridiculous as it sounds.
