Coxsackie Calves, currently led by GM Gabe, is a Basement division team that made their GFL debut in GFL Year 4 as part of GFL's expansion to 10 teams. GM Gabe spent GFL Year 3 as the assistant GM for GM Medium of 4th & Medium and was the 1st GM to be offered a contract for the upcoming expansion, at the GFL Year 3 Award Show. 

Signed on officially for GFL Year 4, GM Gabe & BTU made their mark in The Basement division, winning 9 out of 14 games and securing the Division Title in their first full season. GM Gabe & the squad were able to take that division winning momentum into the playoffs - coasting through the 1st Round BYE - leading to a Round 2 victory over fellow 1st year GM Ryan & Rickety Stool Co. by a score of 145.10-129.62. GM Gabe had successfully made it to the Championship Game, representing the Basement Division, in their 1st full year as an active GM. Led by Championship MVP RB Rashaad Penny, GM Gabe & BTU were able to take down Garage Division Champion Redzone by a score of 169.72-168.10 and take home the GFL 4 Championship. That championship game is highly regarded & was a wild back & forth battle between the best 2 teams in the league at the time.

 Following the stellar Championship season in Year 4, GM Gabe returned for his 2nd full season as the GFL entered their transition to the Dynasty format. Shortly before the Start-Up Draft took place, GM Gabe announced he'd be hiring an official assistant GM to help out moving forward for Between The Uprights. Former GFL GM (Years 2 & 3) Cheeseman was the man hired for the job and helped move things along at the Start-Up draft and still remains with the team. With the help of eventual Rookie Of The Year winner WR Garrett Wilson and the rest of BTU, the team was able to finish the season with a record of 8-5 and nearly retain the Basement Division title, falling just short by 1 game. Even with no 1st Round BYE this time around, BTU was able to take down the Tuckahoe Turtles in Round 1 of the Playoffs by a score of 169.64-157.50 and advance to their 2nd straight Conference Final. Their opponent was Division Champion Hail Gary who was coming off the 1st Round BYE. It was then that Between The Uprights were unable to return to the Championship game, losing to GM Gary & team by a score of 192.02-153.10. 

GFL6 quickly became a year to forget for BTU. After trading the 2023 1.07 for Nick Chubb, Gabe only got a game and a half out of the elite RB before he suffered a potentially career altering injury. The snowball effect went into full swing as BTU suffered countless injuries preventing them from ever truly getting their footing. They did their best to stay in the race, even trading away two 1st round picks during the season to keep up, but it was to no avail. BTU finished the season 6-8, missing the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. They managed to win out of the GFL's first Drought Bracket with ease, and will hope to navigate their way back to the top of the Basement starting in GFL7. At the GFL 7 Draft, GM Gabe announced the team would be rebranding from Between the Uprights to the Coxsackie Calves.

The franchise's first season in Coxsackie would have a similar vibe to start the season as the previous year, with injuries and poor performances leading to a rocky start for the newly branded Cavles. However, this time GM Gabe decided to go a different direction. Rather than making moves to push the chips in and stay competitive, the Calves chose to do the opposite, trading away veteran players for future assets. This would lead to the Calves quickly becoming the favorite to achieve last place and the 2025 1.01, despite some solid weekly showings mixed in. A long grueling season paid off with not just the 1.01 for the Calves, but also the 1.02, 1.04 and 1.08 that they managed to acquire throughout the season. On the flipside, GM Gabe was unable to secure a win the Drought Bracket and became our second official LOSSMAN. In the offseason following GFL7, GM Gabe announced the team would be mutually parting ways with former AGM Cheeseman.

GM Gabe and the Calves would start the offseason with being part of a crazy three team trade which ultimately saw them acquire CeeDee Lamb for three first round picks. Fear not Calves fans, for the team still has their first and second overall selections in the GFL 8 Draft! Ashton Jeanty and Tetairoa McMillan join CeeDee for being the biggest additions to this up and coming Calves Squad. They turned the trajectory of their franchise around in a HUGE way, going from LOSSMAN to an 11-3 record, quite literally from last to first place in no time at all. The Calves were left with a first round BYE for having the best record in the Basement Division, where they would fall short to 4th & Medium in the second round in the highest scoring matchup in the playoffs. Coxsackie couldn't win it all, but no doubt had to have done enough to be considered one of the leagues toughest squads at this point. At the GFL 8 Award Show, they not only took home ROTY for Tetairoa McMillan, but also GM of the Year for their splendid work in turning their team around.
