Your defending league champion Ice is back in! I'm thinking dynasty.
Storm is also back in for 2011.
Send me the info when you are ready and we'll get signed up.....
Beaners are back, won't miss the draft this year and that should help me out a little bit. Going to have a name change, set it up I am ready!
I'm in. Hopefully this year the draft won't serve me some douchebag that has been riding crutches all summer! :angryfire:
Let me know when you get it set up...
if y'all want somebody to kick the shit out of, i'm your guy... might be fun, even though i have no idea what i'm doing.
I guess I'll be ready to get worked again....? :ne_nau:
Thats 6 so far. I'll send out the invite.
Lack of preparation on your part is no excuse.... It's your own dang fault dude.... you can set your draft order weather you draft live or let the computer do it for you.... you can move all injured players to your "do not draft list" before the big day.....Quote:

Set our draft to a reasonable date. Right now is set for Aug 29 which is waaaaaayyyyy too early. A week to 10 days before the season is about right. It should at least be set to AFTER the teams set their 45 player final rosters.
Not really. The very first year of Uutah fantasy football was my very first year playing fantasy football ever.....as you recall, I went on a tear and won two gold medals back to back, and silver the third year. I did all of this just based on Yahoo's default settings.Quote:

Moral of the story: Yahoo's default settings are pretty decent - just leave them alone.
This year I stayed with the "Black-Clad Utes" & I hope they don't get spanked as hard as the real Utes will in the Pac-12 this year. :mrgreen:
Our draft is set for August 28th at 7:00 pm, this is only 11 days before the first game. I thought it would be best to be on a sunday evening and Sept 4th only had early morning draft times available. I think we should leave it. Most teams will have their final rosters set on the 26th.Quote:

can we try to get 12 teams if possible?
If there's any room, I'd be down!
If we can get 12. Look's like we have an eleventh but last year we tried to get 12 and ended up with teams that weren't being managed. Right now I know that all 10 teams are good managers and will play hard.Quote:

Aside from the usual blocked punts, interceptions, fumble recoveries, etc, how do you score points?Quote:

Roster Positions: D, D, DB, DB, DL, DL, LB, LB, DT, DT, DE, DE, S, S, CB, CB, BN, BN, BN, BN
Tackle Solo 4
Tackle Assist 2
Sack 6
Interception 6
Fumble Force 2
Fumble Recovery 4
Defensive Touchdown 6
Safety 3
Pass Defended 2
Block Kick 4
Then there are 1/2 points to the above points for each assist. So, for example, if the sack is done by two guys they each get 3. Or if a CB tips the ball and a safety picks it then its 3 points a piece.
Typically the LB's & safeties are the big point guys since they get so many tackles, but a DE who gets 3-4 sacks a game is even more valuable cause he'll also get tackle assist points on almost every run play. Same thing for an aggressive safety who gets alot of interceptions.
I just have had a lot of fun doing it the last couple of years, it's interesting and makes watching the D even funner.
OK... I'm good with that. :2thumbs:Quote:

Don't forget that the draft is sunday night!

Howcome 'Real men of Genius' was able to make a trade to the waivers and the rest of us can't?
Did he just get it in before the lock or something?
yeah, reverse that shiz....put the hammer down and give those who couldnt make the draft a chance.
Didn't see that. Jason must have gotten in somehow before I locked it. Doesn't seem like a big deal giving who he dropped and added, but I'll reverse it if you'all want.Quote:

this gives me an excuse if my team looses to him the first week...I always need an out..LOL
Everybody happy with their teams? :ne_nau: Who has the best team oh mighty experts?
I think they are pretty even. Seemed like most people got a couple of powerhouses and a few maybes. There was certainly some different draft strategies in effect. As usual, WHO KNOWS?Quote:

It was my first real 'live' draft, and I wasn't prepared at all (thought I was working later), so considering that, I think I'm probably right in the middle of things..Quote:

My bad. I've been working 14-15 hour days for this Cosmo Raven club job. I'll send out an email to the league that it'll be unlocked at noon today. Party on.Quote:

:popcorn:
I like what I see so far...wish I would have had Meachem in last night. :wallbash:
FWIW: I just noticed this on the league home page. Actually Storm brought it to my attantion....Quote:
