IN.

Congrats MPH and Context. You both did an absolutely outstanding job this season. Well deserved.

MPH- 4 finals in a row is extremely hard to do. You've definitely earned yourself a place on the "Mt. Rushmore" of BaF if there ever was one.

2010 and Cap y'all leveled up big time and came so close. The future is bright for both teams with SGA and Wemby (Prayers up)

Wackbone- You'll be missed.

Thanks again for running another great season Bish.

Looking forward to applying what we learned from season 8 to season 9.

Blessings, Baf fam.

I'm gonna have to drop out. Got too much going on in my life atm with my son being born and all that. I wasn't really able to focus on the 2nd half of this last season either.

Good luck to everyone, and thanks for letting me join!

Maybe when life slows down again I'll join the wait list.

I'm glad yall enjoy the sigs I made, maybe I'll pop in every now and then to make new ones.

Sorry to see Wack and ICH go. Two great additions to BAF. Both leaving teams with some really interesting building block pieces. Cade is one of the better young pieces to build around in HOU. And BOS has a Ja/Chet/Jimmy.

Yeah I was about to say...he might just have to be around during the draft and then 1 or 2 days during free agency. That is all that until November.

I tried for the last 6 months, Context really tried to get me to stay but hes been born for 6 months now and I just feel like I haven't had the time or energy to focus on BAF, while I know BAF doesn't require super high maintenance I feel like it does if you want to genuinely compete and I just feel it's unfair to try and continue right now with my inability to really focus on it. The last 6 months I've barely been active in BAF at all so I just feel it's the right thing to do.

For sure, the first months are a HUGE HUGE adjustment.

IJS, my first daughter was born (almost exactly 9 years ago) in 2016. 17-18 was our first year doing this and that year I studied the draft hard AF and grabbed SGA and Vanderbilt and I've been craptacular since. Just a lot of evenings where babygirl was asleep or Mrs. 'O was feeding, dishes were done, and... welp... time to watch some tape I guess :lol:

Like you said, you'll know if/when you get there.
