    It's all over but the crying... and I'm crying a LOT.

    Terry you RAT!
    What are you doing sucking up Christine Michael early????
    I only raised him a little, figuring no one else would move him up!
    THIS MEANS WAR!!!

    How in heck did I wind up with 5... count 'em... 5 quarterbacks!!!!!

    I decided that I would pick up Matt Simms on the hope that he pans out. When I went to look at who I would drop, I was looking at 5 quarterbacks with 2 of them owned by 3% or less of the entire CBS membership.

    Well I ended up with 5 Defenses! I don't think the programmers quite have this down yet. :roll: :roll:

    Hey Scott, I know Mike Sherman, he likes to run the ball...you guys should be good running the ball this year!

    C'mon man... you gotta ice it a little more than that!

    Yeah, I noticed all the defenses. No idea how that happened.
    Heck, I got a RB, that is slated to play LB, and he wasn't even in the top 15 guys on my board!

    Tom and Terry, you need to go to the free agent list and start shedding your players that you have to many in the same position.

    It is weird that the program would draft like that.

    Yeah Terry, I saw that after I made the post. Both you and Tom made changes before I did.

    That's what you have to do in Fantasy leagues. With as many teams as we have the pool is going to be slim but there will be gems to pick from time to time.

    I still don't understand the automatic draft working like that. I think what they do is pick the best available but make sure you have a starting lineup. But 5 defenses?

    I'm willing to put LSU QB Jordan jefferson up for a good running back or wide receiver.

    Bill,

    I don't get it either. The "instructions" are pretty slim... you rate the players... but after that it doesn't say how it's going to add what.

    Seems like every time CBS fixes one thing in their system, the break something else.

    One good thing: there will be plenty of sleepers in the NCAA game as opposed to pro where most guys are a known quantity...

    Hard to figure the sleepers until they play.

    I wound up thin at WR and thick on DST.

    Picked up who I think could be a sleeper in WR Carl Moore of Florida.

    Had a great spring game for the Gators.

    Well glad Scott was too sharp to be taken in by my offer!! Ingram goes under the knife this AM. Maybe back by Penn State, for sure by UF.

    Regarding sleepers. I dropped North Carolina's defense (waaay too many potential NCAA suspensions there) in favor of picking up Theo Riddick. It's a gamble... but we'll see.

    I picked those Heels up because I wasn't enthralled with who I got.

    Pretty amazing to me with 16 teams that I landed John Brantley at Qb.

    Since I picked up Carl Moore I am looking forward to watching that combo.

    yeah I have Zone and Wisconsin's D so hopefully they will earn some points. Wisconsin's D tends to have big point games and shut outs vs bad teams.

    I wound up with Mallett and OU's QB. Those two should manage to put up some numbers I hope.

    I had Mallet and several other Qbs higher than Brantley.....I think RM will have a great year. I saw that kid last year in person vs. a pretty good D playing at home and he was a terror.

    How do you pick somebody up? Do you have to drop somebody first?
