OSFL Ownership History

[Aston]

To the best of my ability, a comprehensive history of the OSFL's ownership, as well as any team nick changes I could find or remember.

Lintyfresh appears to have been starting a similar project a while back, not sure what came of it. There's a lot of uncertainty and imprecision here, as well as gaps. Please fill them in, if you can!

Looks like I jumped into Los Alamos right at the begining of the 2009 offseason. Announced at the same time as Jake (Charlotte), Dkgojackets (Utah) and Mamba 81 (Phoenix) ... I don't even remember Mamba 81, and he was in my division.

My last post as owner of the Monsters was right after our 4th round pick in the 2010 draft. I don't remember if I did anything in late FA that offseason, or even finished the draft for that matter.

I took over the Cutters right before week 13 of the 2011 season. Yeah, I still take credit for them winning the division that year. We finished the year with a 5 game winning streak and stole the division crown from a 13-3 South Maryland/Batimore team. Take that South Marylimore Bulluars fans!

Also at some point after my leaving Los Alamos they were breifly renamed the Rattlers. But I cannot remember when this was or whose watch the change came under.

[Aston]

Awesome; thanks rando!

Also, I meant to post this under the 'Owners' forum. Any chance you could help me move it, Brad? appreciated.

[mike17]

Took over the Irish in week 15 2020.

I remember because the were something like 2-12 and I made massive changes to the team and ended up beating Jughead in my first game and knocking him out of the playoff hunt. Classic.

[Ozias]

Would love to be able to change the nick from the Gaels to the Gators if at all possible.

The Gales sounds like a stiff breeze and not very intimidating compared to the Gators.

[Dutch]

Awesome job, Nutah. Thanks for the history lesson, I knew basically none of this!

Hey, where'd you find that helmet avatar?

This might be difficult, as none of you are ever leaving.

Wow, that's an insane level of detail. Thanks a ton! I was going for that at first but then lost track too much. Just two things: ryan503 is the new owner of Port City at '09 season end, and Hoosier, I think, was stepping down as Phoenix, where he appears to have been owner at the time.
