Why would anyone want to play these has beens. They are mediocre players at best 
However, i am far more interested in the pyschology behind the post. I think the question, i.e., "have you played these coaches", is simply asked to justify the forum topic. The real underlying purpose of the post is (and this is merely an interpretation), perhaps, simply an attempt by the author (thrall) to throw the spotlight onto these coaches, of which thrall is 'incidently' one of their number. However, I would suggest the underlying meaning is actually deeper. I would suggest that the other coaches are just decoys for the real purpose of this forum post - to simply draw atttention to thrall's coaching ability so he can wallow in the joy of being recognised publicly! You see, in this way, because he is not the only coach mentioned in the post, it looks like forum post was not about him, when, in actual fact, drawing attention to thrall was always the intention in his mind. He just couldn't make a post purely about himself because it would appear blatantly self indulgent. Furthermore, although decoys, the list of other coaches had another purpose for thrall - increasing his kudos. By boxing himself in with other coaches such as Christer, he insinuates that he and the others have something in common, and he used this artificial association to increase his own kudos - its like me putting the myself and the pope in the same box. Such an elite group does not exist. And if it did, Thrall would not be among their number. He should apologise to the coaches he used as smokescreen and for kudos elevation.
This would explain why evolvetoanarchism, nordmark, and purplechest couldn't understand what his list of coaches had in common in the context that Thrall used.
Perhaps I should post a similar forum topic: who has played blitzwing and jackdaniels (but please see forum post: got milk).
Conclusions
Some conclusion can be drawn from Thrall's forum post:
1. The subject may be lacking attention in the physical world and, as a result, has a need to gain recognition in other ways, e.g., fumbbl. This is not an uncommon response.
2. The subject seeks to boost his self-image through association with others.
3. Thrall lives in a park and finds and, subsequently, eats rats for sustanance. He rambles incoherantly and often frothes at the mouth. He exists, clinging to the hope that one day he will be able to recycle enough fanta cans in order to buy a shovel so he can dig up a dead body.
Anyone else like to offer an opinion here. I must point out, however, I am an archaeology student, not a pychologist! So my opinions are not valid. But let us all be pychologists today. So please, any other suggestions as motive of this post are welcomed.
If I am right then, well, alrighty then, thrall, you want attention? You want recognition? Lets see if your worthy of such a spotlight mention. I challenge you to a game against my team 'friendly rats', and I propose that the loser has to retire their team. This a good team and worthy of such a bet. What can you bring to the table? |

Trog is one I can speak out about... he's an angry dice thrower... I should know. Nearly got me in the eye off a rebound shot during a local league game. |

This is the weirdest damn thread I've seen in a while, and that includes the Giant Monster Battle thread. |

I would love to know the criteria under which that list was drawn up.
At least a couple of those names dont seem to fit the criteria that the poll suggests. |

Wow. This is just like that car race... you know... with Greased Lightning...
I'm actually surprised this hasn't come up before (at least not to my knowledge). It's a little heavy on the schoolyard mentality, perhaps, but kind of cool for an occasional thing. I commend your spirit.
(Although you might get taken just a wee bit more seriously if you were putting up a team with more time and history to it.) |

Yeah, I'd have to say a team with 2 games under its belt can hardly expect to be considered an even bet with a team as long running as most of these guys have! (no matter what your opinion of any/all of their playstyles) Still could make for an interesting plot twist...Battle of the Titans, winner takes ALL. Kinda harsh considering what the dice can do to you on a bad day though...
