I gave it quite a bit of thought but I really don't think I have the time. January in particular is very busy as I am on the road and lose track of just about everything. I appreciate the changes that were made, but I felt real bad last year when I ran into some time issues at the end of the year and couldn't get back involved. It is a fun game. If my schedule is more flexible in the future I'll get back in. |
Dude. WTH? You could probably HIBERNATE through the month of Jan and still do better than I do. Pull a Nike here: "Just DO it!"

Thanks much for checking in with us! Hopefully see you sometime in the future. And good luck to your Bears (except across the Bay) this year.

Howee in his infinite wisdom (and subtleness being his specialty) does have a point. You could, for instance just submit your lineups for the whole month in advance and plan on making no trades or changes. You'd probably be fine as long as nobody got injured.

Crap. I got the worst pick in the draft. I wasn’t prepared for this. If only I could trade number one and five for someone’s first and fourth round picks. Fate is a prickly hedgehog, and I’m not prepared to do the evil of my first pick yet. Let me get my ducks in a row here.

Someone bite me for taking a Husky. I really didn't want to make this pick, and it was close.
Cardinal selects Katie Lou Samuelson from the University of Connecticut with the first overall pick! I will regret this choice in time, but really, I don't know what other direction to go in right now.

whelp...hoping that ankle injury in August isn't an on-going issue. At this point we can't help ourselves but to take:
preseason POTY in the AAC:
F Napheesa Collier, UConn

Your typo is forgiven in exchange for your uncommonly brilliant taste in players.
(and apparently Fordham's game plan this year is in fact to let G'mrice Davis go the fuck off, so this should be fun, as should hearing commentators try to pronounce G'mrice)
(don't mind me, I'll kibitz when y'all pick someone from one of my many teams)

That was my top pick, but I was VERY concerned over the ankle issue. I’ll probably regret that later on.

It made me a little nervous when Linkster didn't take her...like maybe those UConn fans know something the rest of us don't know. But anyway, thought it worth the risk. She came back from hip surgery a year ago really well so we know she's a tough one. I just love her 'balance'. There's also the question of how much difference Azura will make....

A question
If a player has a dual position designation like G/F can they be used at either position? Like on Monday a G and on Wednesday a F?

She was high on my board but at the risk of revealing strategy I'm concerned that UConn's depth of talent this year will cut into some of last year's amazing individual stats.
