WOW what a league full of Studs!!!





What are the odds that 4 guys from the "Overall Champions" league, LV9 would reunite again this year?



Then, throw in 3 from LV6 as well, although 1 was a co-manager...



Top that off with 6 in the "Lifetime Rankings" ...





What are the odds?

Welcome everyone to the league! Can't wait to draft next weekend. This is the most exciting time of the season (except of course if you're in first at season's end).



How is everyone's draft pick this year compared to last? We had the 3rd pick last year and we've got the 10th this year. Definitely a big drop.



Good luck next week!



Rob

I had the 11th last year, 4th this year.

I also wanted to introduce my self a little to get this party started:



My name is Dan Heath, I'm 50, married, with 3 boys, 2 dogs, and 4 cats.

My wife and I own a mom and pop style propane company east of Sacramento, in Placerville Ca.



If you've ever watched the Cartwrights in "Bonanza", they often traveled to Placerville. Which was also know as "Old Hangtown" back then, thus my screen name...Hangtown!!



I'm looking forward to next weekend, but my wife bailed on me as my draft partner this year, so if any one wants to join me for a drink after the draft? I'll buy...

Here's a little about me as well:



I'm Rob Ashmen, co-manager and son portion of our father-son team. I'm 31 yrs old, married, 1 daughter, 2 dogs.



I work as a Systems Administrator for Homeland Security in Charlotte, NC. I make sure the computer systems stay up and running for the Immigration departments.



We'll have a good time next week, and we may even take you up on one of those drink offers

So, #4 was my sixth pick.



How about you?

We didn't change our KDS so I guess we got our 10th choice at best.

hey guys, my name is rusty clark from centerville, ohio...i have been in 17 leagues the past three years, have won every one of them by at least 20%.... NOT!! just trying to fit in with some of the posts i have seen. what a hoot! really looking forward to a great draft, meeting the guys and doing as well as i can. i am sure this will be a lot of fun and a great experience, and if i get lucky and win, so much the better! see you on saturday

Welcome Rusty, glad you chimed in...





Since you are 1 of the 2 newbs, I thought you'd want to know that the guy who won my league last year drafted from the 15th slot!! In my opinion, there are some very good players in this league, but I also think this group is evenly matched. It will be a fun league to be in... I have no doubt!!



Good luck to you, see ya in Vegas!
