I thought 'Chuck the Writer' might could use some additional ABA expansion teams to choose from???

[psbf]

The only city I know that actually exists is Shamokin, Pa. The others have to be made up. I mean, come on, Murder Bay, D.C.?? D.C. is not a state.

[nksports]

How about Hooker, Okla., and Funk, Neb. (A company used to make baseball hats for the fictitious Hooker Harlots, it had a baseball with a pair of female legs wearing a garter kipped over it).

Actually, Belchertown, MA is a real city as well. (I know because some friends of the family used to live there)

[The Sweeper]

We've also got a town here in Vermont called Bread Loaf..How about the Bread Load Slicers?

[psbf]

ok, there are some real towns on that list and maybe it is a legitimate one. But it reads far fetched, to me. I need some proof that it is a real one.

[The Sweeper]

Well, here's a map of Bread Loaf. I think Fells can back me up on this as well.

Zoom in a little to get the town name to show up.

[psbf]

I have no doubt that the certain towns exist. What I want is proof that they are in line for a new team. btw, Bread Loaf is not on the above list.

[The Sweeper]

I don't believe that any of the towns listed by the OP are going to get an expansion franchise. I simply added Bread Loaf because it is an unsusual name for a town, like most of the names on that list. I don't think Vermont could support any more than 1 ABA team.

[The Magician]

I don't believe that any of the towns listed are going to get an expansion franchise.

You are very correct ... But I will go ahead and add Breadloaf, Vermont to the list for a future ABA market reservation consideration :mrgreen:

[Sam Hill]

ok, there are some real towns on that list and maybe it is a legitimate one. But it reads far fetched, to me. I need some proof that it is a real one.

Seriously....are you....like....challenged?

[teqkng]

What about Koosamawatchahitchie South Carolina... any rt 95 traveler knows that one if ya head from the northeast to florida once in a while

two greenbacks

[dmbishop]

Don't forget about Intercourse, PA.

[teqkng]

Hey Now if you are counting AMISH basketball fans lets include blue balls, and a few others as well.

Joe's from Indiana, so there are two Indiana teams I would propose:

Santa Claus Reindeers
Munster Hermans

[Pounder]

Wanker's Corner:

http://www.wankerscorner.com/

I was going to say that it was closer to Lake Oswego (where all the rich farts in Oregon congregate), but Wilsonville's expansion seems to have taken its toll.

Apparently, it's world-famous. Someone associated with the NASL Timbers, an English ex-pat, still ferries folks from his homeland through that area when he brings them from the Portland Airport to his Salem home. Get's 'em every time.

Oregon has a Riddle, a Lookingglass, and how could I forget BORING! There's also a ghost town called Horse Heaven, FWIW.

[psbf]

Me, challenged, Sam? You know, as well as I do, that anything on here can be suspicious, which is why I questioned it. Honestly, I'm surprised that you were not skeptical as well.

[preeths]

psbf, the initial post was meant as a joke. He was just listing some cities with funny names.

[preeths]

How can we leave out Hell, Michigan? Once things get too tough there, they can always move 340 miles north to Paradise:
http://maps.yahoo.com/#mvt=m&q2=paradise,%20michigam&q1=hell,%20michigan&trf=0&lon=-84.418945&lat=44.531759&mag=11

[nksports]

Don't forget about Intercourse, PA.

Bird-in-Hand and Paradise would be their arch rivals

[psbf]

Thanks, Preeths, I wasn't sure.
Ah yes, Paradise-a perfect match:)

[The Sweeper]

The Sauk Valley Rollers should move here

www.ci.weed.ca.us/

That would make them the Weed Rollers

[Sam Hill]

Me, challenged, Sam? You know, as well as I do, that anything on here can be suspicious, which is why I questioned it. Honestly, I'm surprised that you were not skeptical as well.

It was obvious to me within eight seconds that The Magician was pulling our legs. Honestly, I'm surprised it took you longer than that.

Well, maybe not.

[teqkng]

Heck we all missed the obvious... Dodge city , the Dodge Ballers.

Of all the expansion teams mentioned in this thread ...

Which ones do you feel will become model ABA organizations in 2007-2008.

I mean ... Having nearly 70 teams next season ... You must have some teams who will make the grade, right?

[psbf]

the ABA, you'd have 70 going into the season, but what's your guess as to how many will be secure? Maybe half? Then how many will survive the season?
