FOFC Alma Mater Fantasy Football (now claiming 2008 teams)
We've done this for a couple of years... why not keep it going?
Short version -- you get a team, consisting of only players from one college. Fairy standard league setup, head to head weekly matchups, but no playoffs. If you had a team last year and want it back, claim it here. If you want to stake your claim to a new school, post that here as well -- I think the league will hold either 16 or 20 teams. I'll post roster details, etc once I have the league set up. I plan to make them the same as last year... here's the link to last year's league thread: 2006 FOFC Alma Mater Fantasy Football (Time to set lineups!) - Front Office Football Central Oh, please don't sign up unless you're at least willing to put in the absolutely trivial amount of work necessary to manage your team. It sucks having to ride herd on people who though this was a great idea, claimed a team, and then refused to spend even two minutes to get things together.

Dang, I wish Oklahoma had a QB in the NFL right now. And more than one running back. This would be pretty fun.

If there's room for a new player, I'll take my QB-less Colorado Buffaloes.

If CW isn't going to have a QB, I might try my luck with Oklahoma. Maybe Paul Thompson will make the Packers and play a "Slash" type role or something. Plus, I have good receivers and a few good defensive players to take. Although, lack of kicker will kill me too. I'll take Oklahoma for now, I guess.

I'm back with Tennessee.
I posed this last year, but would anyone be interested in setting up a bowl system for the league for the last week of the season. We'd have to "hand" score, in the sense that we'd compare scores of teams in the relevant match-ups. Just a thought--keeping with the college theme. |

CU really doesn't have much in the way of quality talent in the league right now. I think it'd be fun to upset one of the big boys in this, though. |

I could do this, but would prefer to skip the insta-last-place finish of choosing my alma mater (good old IU). If another team is needed, I'll throw in my name and pick a different Big Ten school... looks like TheOSU went unclaimed last season, is it still available?
If not, I'd be happy with Wisconsin. |

Okay gang... anyone who wants to play, claim your team here and sign up with an obvious team name. Please don't take a school that someone has already staked out. And please spell "Michigan" correctly if you insist on using that school.

Also - what is the rule for positions that cannot be filled, i.e. a Va Tech QB?

FYI...
This league will NOT draft so long as there is an odd number of teams, and we currently have 11. |

BUMP for we still have an odd number of teams...
Quik - when is the draft scheduled? I'll bow out to make the league even if we're still odd the day of the draft. |
