[quote:c9027fd902]How about those at the front of the list start picking during the week? Not required ... but if we get enough done, maybe the Commish can set the League up to Frenzy at 11 PM ET instead of 12 Midnight ... and free Bernie from having to move up Opening Day a week?[/quote:c9027fd902]

Personally, I hate slow drafting! I find it about as painful as waiting for my wife outside the fitting room during a Michigan-Ohio State football game just so I can give my generic "hurry up let's go" response of "Yes dear...that looks fine!" Besides...I [i:c9027fd902]like[/i:c9027fd902] to bug Bernie! :lol:

That being said, it does get away from the concept of a fast draft. Fast drafting also keeps everyone from constantly checking the draft thread to see if their up aaand, nobody has to worry about proxy's (or whether they remembered to turn them on!) Friday night at 7:30 est is still the plan! Um...what time would that be in Arizona? Off the top of my head..I dunno! :?

that's 5:30, I'm good!

....and as a lifelong Buckeye, you don't need to reference that game THIS week. oh well, I guess 7 years is a pretty good run.


:D

My Dad started taking me to the Michigan games when I was 7. He gave my mother the seat back when I got older and moved out! :( There is NO other game like the Michigan-Ohio State game in the fall! It was so much more exciting when Bo and Woody were there though. The matchup was, to me, akin to Darth Vader vs Luke Skywalker! :P

BO...I...am your father! :mrgreen:
No! NOOOOOOOOO! :shock:

Jon, Excellent! You do a great job with this and I know everyone appreciates it! Thank you! :D

so are we getting a head start, or are we just waiting til friday?

Waiting til Friday.

A letter has been sent to bug Bernie about our league starting on Monday Dec. 5th instead of the following week. He always wants to make sure everyone is aware of the possible change before he does this, understandably, so just make sure your team is ready to go next Monday night in case he does get around to making the switch! :wink:

Guys, a replacement may be needed after all. The site is malfunctioning and I can't get in to buy a team. I have a little more than an hour until work. I'll keep trying while I'm here. Stay tuned.

Call me if you need to Kev. 248-895-1936

Okay....I dashed home for a moment and was able to get in. I'll create the league and post the PW here shortly.
