THIS IS ALSO THE YEAR THE DETROIT LIONS FINALLY WIN THE SUPER BOWL, SO JOIN THE BANDWAGON NOW. :updated: (I may have said the same thing last year. But this year is really the year, really.)

______________________________________
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Based on what has worked in the past, I am scheduling a tentative draft night. If this date does not work for many people, we can revise. (Of course, players unable to attend can always set pre-draft rankings and strategy to ensure that they get a great team!)

Tentative Draft Date: Monday, August 26, 2024 at 9:00 PM ET

Welcome back, E II, bookworm, Laura, Almanzo, and KF! \:D/

We're probably now looking for one more player!

I just realized that we have company on the night the draft is scheduled. Eek. Would it be possible to bump it one night earlier or later? If that wouldn't work for everyone else, that's ok, just thought I'd see!

E II, is your brother in for sure? That may be our best approach.

Sorry Laura, haven't had a chance to check this until now. I think at this point it wouldn't be a good idea to move the draft sooner. But if there are enough people who chime before Monday, I'd be fine moving it forward in time. I'd be down for any week night (9pm EST) between Monday and the kickoff of the season. If others can't chime in, we'll stick with Monday night (sorry).

Okay awesome! Please send me a PM with his email address (or, if he has an account, ask him to PM it to me). And let us know what to call him for smack talk purposes. \:D/

I'm fine with rescheduling, but it will depend on which day. I know I can't be on Tuesday or Thursday night.

Thanks bookworm. We have a majority now that are willing to reschedule. And we definitely need to settle on an 8th player before we draft. So, a good chance that Monday gets pushed back.

E II, keep us posted. Happy to have your brother join!

The 30th would work for me and if EIIs brother can't I have a friend that'd be down

E II, the invite to your brother has been sent!

All, I've rescheduled the draft for this Friday night at 9pm EST! It seems that that date works for everyone above. Looking forward to it!!

Sorry that I couldn't end up making the draft last night! Something came up last minute.

Still, I ended up with some superstar talent and am excited about it. Can't wait to begin the season with you all on Thursday!
