Congrats to the Vulcans! And congrats your graduation as well. Definitely interested to see what this offseason will produce for a direction in the league.

We did what we needed to do against the Colts, as we cruised to our ninth straight victory. The Pandas dropped another game, which means we now have a comfortable 3 game lead for the CL pennant. We hit the road for a brief bit of league play, as the Toronto Talons will host us for the first time in quite some time. They're fairing a bit better than their expansion counterparts, and are looking to carve something to get themselves into the playoff race. Featured for this week is SP Colton Gordon, who has done well subbing in for our other starters on the IL, throwing 5 scoreless innings for 4 strikeouts and a mark in the W column. #Thunderstruck

The Atoms had a rough go of things against the Condors, dropping our fourth game of the season. Luckily, our next opponent is the 02-11 Memphis Kings, and we get to play host, so hopefully we can get things moving in the right direction. While our pitching was pretty bad overall, we did get a bonkers performance from starter Tarik Skubal, who earned his second feature of the campaign. How did he do that? Oh, just by throwing 13 innings while striking out 21 and allowing just 04 earned runs. #GoldBars

I'm glad you're enjoying it so far!
As for the league returning to New York - never say never. TVS would certainly like it if the league returned to the nation's largest media market, but the stadium issue is a big one. In addition, the league is focused on keeping the current 12 teams stable before expanding, but it's reasonable to assume New York would be a target when the league does expand. Yankee Stadium is a possibility for sure. If the WFL placed a team in New York right now, it's likely that it would be the choice for a stadium.

1990 OCS Finals
#1 Simeka Sleuths 90, #3 Gin City Porkers 83
It took consecutive eight trips to the postseason; three #1 seedings; seven heartbreaks. Finally - Simeka emerges victorious in clinching their first OCS Finals!!!! This Simeka group had been together since the franchise's inaugural season in 1982 and after all the shortcomings... they came through and achieved what they set out to achieve all those years ago. Here's how they did it:
The Danny Trotter Complex of Simeka sold out tickets almost as soon as they were available. The energy in the building was contagious from the jump. However, Gin City wasn't going to go away quietly - in fact, they controlled a good chunk of the first half and Simeka had to keep it close. Byron No led the way for the Porkers by pouring in 18 points by halftime. Brody Rizzo paced the Sleuths patiently as he dished out five of his nine assists in the first half. With 4:00 to go, Gin City held an eight point lead before Simeka's Sol Renfro hit back-to-back 3-pointers and Rizzo scored an and-one to take the lead. After a few more possessions, some back-and-forths, the Porkers led at the buzzer 55-53. Both teams went into their respective locker rooms knowing they needed to lock down defensively.
Sol Renfro took to that task and succeeded - Byron No only scored four more points in the second half for the Porkers. With Renfro taking away the Porkers' hottest option thus far, Gin City's Otis Carter and Ibrahim Mohammend had to step up on the offensive end. Mohammed, more known for defense than scoring, started the half off decently but went cold towards the tail end. Carter put forth a valiant effort (29 points, six assists), but because most of his energy was expended trying to spark the offense, he struggled to keep up with the dazzling Rizzo. Simeka's MVP scored 32 points in total and tallied three steals and a block on the other end of the floor. While Gin City hu

I've been reading up on this "What if" version of the World Football League, and so far, I'm liking what I'm seeing here.
By the way, in the real life WFL, the New York Stars were forced to relocate to Charlotte in mid-season because of the inadequacy of their home venue, the decrepit 22,000-seat WPA project on Randall's Island known as Downing Stadium, and the fact that Yankee Stadium -- which would've been an ideal venue for the team -- was unavailable due to a renovation project that would last until 1976. Also, Columbia University rejected the Stars' proposal to play at the 32,000-seat Baker Field. And of course, Shea Stadium was a no-go for the Stars because it was overbooked with the Mets, Jets, and Yankees playing there; the Giants also played at Shea for one season in 1975.
So, in this "What if" alternate universe version of the WFL, do you think the league will ever return to the NYC area? And if yes, will their home be at the renovated Yankee Stadium?
