Wow, interesting that they put the Jersey taams in the Northeast, making for a very large division there. Ought to be a tough playoff race, but at least it makes for some nice schedule variety.

Kansas city is in the heartland division.

It looks like it will be another exciting year in the PDL. Due to the nature of the league it's hard to say who will be contenders and what players will be playing for each team. But over all it's the usual cast of tends to contend for the title. I think the division to watch will be the Heartland. With the Fire Reserves joining Des Moines and Boulder, there could be a real battle for the two playoff spots. Also over the past two seasons, Thunder Bay has improved each year and could play a spoiler role. I'm looking forward to see how the new teams in the confrence are; St. Louis, Toledo, Columbus, Ft Wayne.

Guess I'm looking at this more carefully now, and wondering about some things. Is "New Jersey" the NJ Stallions? If so, have they officially announced they are dropping from D3? Or is "New Jersey" the Jersey Falcons, who have endured two dismal seasons in the PDL. I was assuming it was the Stallions and the Falcons had folded, but I haven't seen any word that they've moved from D3. Jaydog??? Can you help me?

There's a couple of teams he has listed there that I was suprised to see. For example, the Utah team he has in the NW division. I haven't heard anything about the Blitzz dropping from D3 to PDL, but I'd have to assume that any Utah PDL team would either be the Blitzz or be a reserve team for the Blitzz.

It would also seem to me that a Utah PDL team would best served by being in the Southwest Division with Nevada and the Cali teams, which would seem to be closer than the Seattles, Spokanes, and Calgarys of the NW division.

From what I've read or heard through the grape vine, the Utah PDL team doesn't have any connection to the Blitz. It's going to be the Club team from BYU.

Back to Sue's question, I guess New Jersey is the Falcons and that the Stallions stayed up in the PSL.

So does anyone know anything about the team in New Orleans? It's good to see a team back in that area. Now if we can just get a return of a team in Jackson and that will shore up that region.
