Okay GOATeses, the 2023 contest is up and running.  We need to get a verification from last year's team members on whether you plan on participating or not.  I will not post the team in the registration thread until we either have the full team status with everybody reporting OR until February 25th.  Any team members not reporting by the 25th will be assumed to be uninterested in playing again and we will look for replacements (replacement priority list below based on OG members expressing interest in joining our squad if we end up having open spots)

Any sponsorships, perks or bountys being offered this year?
after all the promises last year that stale fruit cake and box of wine was a little disappointing.


Has anyone offered Guesswho some coupons for KFC and a new pair of crocs, that's what sealed the deal last year.

I was told by the captain that we didn't have much left in the budget. After the boating accident, we are actually operating in the red. Apparently, we may need to do some fundraisers or something. It's amazing that we pulled off the performance that we did operating off of  next to nothing. You would think our captain might have a little better financial plan worked out by now. But I am sure he will expect the same results with even less effort from himself. Hopefully, one day, he will realize that we might be easy, but we ain't cheap.

As per the previous posts, I contacted Georgia and Alabama about getting some NIL money.  They wanted to know if anybody was a quarterback?  I told them I didn't think so but I would ask.  I did tell them that some of our team members were so-so turkey hunters and that most of us had been male super-models at one time or another. 

They asked for some proof of either so I sent them Happy, Crow, and Guesswho's pictures.  ...I haven't heard from them since...   

Looks like it will be fruitcake and Strawberry Hill again this year.  However, I will try to find some fresh fruitcake.

Geez, that wasn't too smart gobblenut. I understand sending them crows and guesswhos photos. But once you sent mine, then you clearly indicated you wanted some top tier, 5 star, pro-style, quarterback money. Ain't many that are gonna pony up that kind of cash. Oh well, when the seasons over, and it's time for my performance review. Just remember you got what you paid for.

I am pretty sure NIL is going to be paid in Little Debbie Oatmeal cream pies. As good looking as this bunch is, I feel sure that there is no chance of any other team receiving any OCPs this year. I am sure that will be a deterrent to some of them. We could always same our wrappers for the poor souls.

Are any of you goats headed to Nashville this weekend?

Hibernation nothing we have been in extreme training mode. We even learned how to make baskets with pop-cycle sticks and 279.7 uses for duct tape. Basically most other teams are going to melt away into oblivion and we shall stand triumphant over their charred, burned out remains.

''The Boring Twinkies'', probably sat around all winter watching ''The Sound of Music''  reruns.

Their new theme song ''The Hills are in Flames like our burned out remains''

Speaking of the sound of music.

When the GOATS are in the woods, the gobblers are dying.
Zelmos in the corner, I think that he's crying.
The boring 20's learning they ain't got no game.
These are a few of my favorite things.

timberjack posted he was out...Guesswho, well what in the heck can we say about that. He's being dulusional if he thinks he can hold out for a bigger NIL chack....Gobblenut and friend, Happy and myself spent his contract money in South Dakota last spring. Sorry buddy you ain't even getting new crocks this year, but we might all donate some gently used almost new underwear (no guarantee on brown stripes ). Maybe a gobblenut special call.

I vote let the other two in and say we're full
