    Okay Don, more issues for this non-tech savvy old guy. I did get in and made a player name Irish72. But I don't know how to get back into our group specifically now as I always end up back at the "Join a league" page. What am I doing wrong. Thanks

    Looks like a tight race after just one game played. Everyone picked Oklahoma and we are all tied for the lead!. I am confident there will be some separation by the end of the day.:):rolleyes:
