Ok, I'll do it - someone has to fill the cellar! I have no opinion on theme other than the simpler the better.

i've fared poorly in this league but am poised to kick some dockers-wearing *** this year. in.

Charlie Minton sent me an email. He's in.

I know I'm just an "alternate" from a public high school in suburban Cleveland, but I definitely want in!

IN

Who has the all time best/worst preppie record?

Understanding that Robert Chambers probably has the worst "preppy record" :D ...........

Im a big fan of Anthony Mann westerns. no relation. no chance.
but anxious to start trading with woods....

If ya need another alternate, you can count me in.

I went to New Utrecht H/S, a public school in Brooklyn. I think the last fight I had was with a kid that went to Xavier.

Does that count for anything? hehehehe...


lmk,
visick

I suggest keep it simple by doing an 80M cap autodraft, fill asap, no unique stadiums and your team name has to include creatively the last name of one of your High School teachers (should keep the HM alum occupied).

So far the list looks like:

1 Biomechanical Man (Commissioner)
2 Errormagnate
3 Uncle NY
4 Wockenfuss
5 He's Meat
6 bob711
7
8
9
10
11
12


AeroDave and Socalchiro are ready and willing if we don't fill with the usual HMers. Let me know if I missed anything.

1 Biomechanical Man (Commissioner)
2 Errormagnate
3 Uncle NY
4 Wockenfuss
5 He's Meat
6 bob711 (suggests $80m, team name includes last name of your HS teacher)
7 Cminton
8
9
10
11
12
