Looking forward to the challenge of playing against some quality opponents, should be alot of fun.

Hopefully I will get confirmation soon.

Welcome aboard. Greg and Tom are both snowed in at the CubsFest this week-end. I'm sure they will welcome you aboard as soon as they can dig out.

You are going to love the NFBC... It is the best game around!!! I'll be drafting in Chicago, hope to see you there!

Thanks and I will most likely see you there!

I dont think I am going to make it for the Friday night registration at this point but I'm sure we will all have time to chat on Saturday morning.

I wonder when I will get some kind of username or password for the site?

Brent, welcome to the NFBC. Consider this your informal welcome from Tom and I, with a more formal e-mail coming soon! It's always good to see a fellow Cheesehead in the event, so best of luck to you. Tom will be in Chicago for the main event, so make sure you get a few drink tickets from him and support our local brewery!!!

Yes, Tom and I were at CubsFest this weekend during the blizzard. I will say one thing: Those Cubs fans are die-hard supporters. I've never seen so many MLB authentic jerseys being worn in one spot and those fans actually sat in line for FOUR HOURS to get one autograph from Mark Prior or Kerry Wood. Even Ron Santo commanded lines that lasted 3 1/2 hours. It was crazy.

Tom and I met a few die-hard fantasy players who are considering the NFBC, including a Las Vegas native who was visiting friends in Chicago and couldn't wait to get back to the sun!

It was a worthwhile trip for us and hopefully it will lead to more signups for the NFBC. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth.
