Have you ever considered buying a shirt of a school you coach in HD? Was going to add on a visit to Florida Gulf Coast (team I coach in 2 worlds) to a trip I took last year, wanted to visit the campus and by a baseball cap or sweatshirt but ended up not going, so maybe someday...
I'd like to add a comment...and a thank you to the other coaches in WIS, many of you have been very generous in providing help to new members and it makes this a better product for all of us.

Pbp is very useful if you play M2M, and especially if the team you are playing has great backups. It allows you to see which role backup players are subbed into. A great coach will constantly change their depth chart to counter this strategy, but many coaches don't bother to change their rotations once they find a lineup they like.

The pbp also allows you some insight into their late game team gameplan settings.
