This will only be of interest to a very few, if any, people. But, to me, it's a big deal.
I was born in 1950. For Christmas of 1961, one of my presents was the APBA Baseball Game. Ever since then, APBA sports games have been my hobby.
In the past few years, APBA has produced a set of elite college teams. However, they have never produced a Georgia Tech team.
Today, APBA announced that its college set of 12 teams for the 2014 season will include our Yellow Jackets, along with the other 11 teams that played in the New Year's Six Bowls.
APBA allows you to set up and play your own season. Teams perform very close to the way they did in real life. Everything is based on statistics. Every Tech player who appeared in three or more games will get his own card, which will contain a series of numbers allowing that player, and the entire team, to reproduce actual performance characteristics.
The set is supposed to be available in March. I plan to play a round robin 11 game season for all 12 teams. I will keep all statistics for every team and player during this project.
This will be what would have happened if, at the end of the season, the 12 teams in the New Year's Six Bowls had played an 11 game schedule against each other, with the winner being crowned the National Champion.
It probably sounds boring to you, but it's really exciting to me. If anybody wants to keep up with my project, just let me know, and I'll e-mail the game results every time I finish a week of play.
If you're interested in getting the APBA football game and this set, just look up APBA sports games on the computer. By the way, APBA was founded in the early fifties by a man in Pennsylvania, but a few years ago a man from Georgia bought it, and APBA is now headquartered in Atlanta.
Well, this is just another fringe benefit of our team's great season, and it brings more recognition for Tech. Best of all for me, playing this stat-based project will really help pass the 27 weeks or 190 days between this Thursday and when, in those immortal words of Al Ciraldo, "toe meets leather" on the field to start the 2015 campaign.
Thanks to Coach Johnson, his staff, our players, and APBA, Tech football will now be a year round source of excitement, surprises and enjoyment for Jacket fans with the APBA game and this set of cards.
