Since I don't want any non-MR people in the league, I'm going to change the cap to 8 people. That will make for a pretty deep league (I am commish of a Legacy League with 8 members) and for competitive balance.

That being said, there is room for ONE more person only!

Thanks in advance and see you this season. :D

I like this picture because the way Kevin has his tongue out :)

I just saw them a few weeks ago and I have to say that was the BEST REO concert that I've seen. They were GREAT and Kevin didn't talk as much - LOL No Playboy stories :)

I'm going to be adding my pictures from the concert and backstage on my My Space page. I have some fun ones
:wink:

Everyone,

Quick reminder, draft is Thursday night @ 8 pm EST.

We are drafting Individual Defensive Players, so DO NOT draft Team Defenses or Special Teams.

Looking forward to the season.

Please show up early, I had a draft tonight only to find that I showed up an hour late and my team sucks balls.

Going to be a great season.

Senior Moment Reminder:

DRAFT IS TONIGHT @ 8 P.M. EST!!!!!!!

Couple of Dos and Don'ts

Don't-Draft any ST or DST, we are using IDP's. Hopefully the draft computer won't even let that be an option, but I'd hate for someone to draft positions that we aren't even using and essentially waste picks.

Don't-Be late. The amount of drafts happening now REALLY slow down the servers. It could take several minutes to even get into the draft room.

Do-Keep your queue full of the next couple of players you want. It has been my experience this year that the draft rooms sometimes get hung up (especially when someone fails to pick on time). When the draft room gets hung up, you are usually helpless and then it will get 'unstuck' and catch up. When this happens, it jumps forward 3-4 picks. Anyone without players in the queue will simply get the next highest default player. At least by keeping 4-5 guys in the queue at all times, you defend yourself to an extent.

Do-Check in by 7:30. The comp will randomly assign draft order, so I have no idea who has the #1 pick.

Do-Drink heavily during the draft. Passing out and making stupid picks helps me! :D

See ya tonight!
