Robb any luck in locating a decent fantasy service for the up coming year? Preseason is about a month away....

Haven't done it yet... definitely taking suggestions.

But first: are any weekends in August bad for you? You and the Milker both have marriages coming up. The Milker decided to make his the last weekend in August, so if we do it then, he won't be at the draft. Then again, he's never at the draft.

Lineup is lookin' like this:

1. Robb
2. Mike
3. Chris
4. Steve
5. Luddy
6. Kurt
7. Fodge
8. Sailer
9. Matt Randall (you haven't met him)
10. Jeanes / Davis / "Wild Card"

(Jeanes has stated that he may want a year off, and Davis colluded last year. So I dunno about the last spot.)

But yeah, if there's software out there you like, definitely forward me a link.

WHHHYYY is even still considered to be a part of this league? Anybody not showing to the draft or making arrangements with the commish should not get to begin drafting until the 5th or even 10th round!

I have Navarra waiting in the wings if needed. You should set a date that they have to declare their intentions for this upcoming year so we can make arrangements.

The Rochester contingent should discuss getting together for draft day. We also should get some sort of video conf. set-up going.

Won't Fodge be camping or rafting or humping a tree or something that weekend?

The only bad day is the last Saturday. One of teh guys here is throwing a party that day. The earliest my wedding might be would be October.

He's essentially out, unless the draft day happens on a day he can make, and he makes it in person. I agree with you.

Re: Navarra -- I think we are probably all set with guys. But yes, if we end up with 9 or 11 or something like that, it'd be great to have him in. I am a big fan of Big Joe.

He knows I am not bluffing this year, so I suspect he will not attempt to schedule something for draft day. But I'll attempt to get a day that works for everyone with no conflicts anyway, so it's all good.

I'm in. As always, I'll offer up my place for any of the Rochesterians to gather for the draft. Video conferencing will be in effect. I would hope that the Denver contingent will also be wired up.

(FWIW, I cant make it Aug 16-17... the PGA Championship is in town, and I'm working it...)

Okay. I'd love to take a trip around then. I think Chris might be the only other Rochester-based guy these days...

The Milker is getting married the last week of August. He may not end up being in the league, but I want to be at his wedding, so that weekend is probably out.

But yeah, we'll schedule around 8/16 & 17.

I'm gonna let that comment go.

How is August 30th or 31st for everyone? That's a Sat-Sun deal. Saturday is probably best, but.

What do you mean by the "last" Saturday?

So far, nobody has expressed a problem with August 9th & 10th and August 23rd and 24th. Every other weekend is problematic for somebody.
