I just bought mine today. Lucky for me one of my professors is the hippie burnout lovechild of Anthony Hopkins and Dave Coulier, and he just indexed a bunch of website links relevant to his lectures and attached it to the syllabus. No textbook required.

i worked full-time during the summer and have spent most of what i tried to save on textbooks, car registration, and fantasy football leagues :lol

[Kyle Orton]

yea im def gonna have to go bargain shopping and search around

all my textbooks PLUS online access codes brand new is somewhere in the 800-1090$ range which is fucking retarded. gonna have to find some used copies for sure. but yeah ill definitely pay friday night tbh

[ColinB]

Amazon and craigslist saved me in college. A good portion of the time I was able to sell them back for more or the same amount I paid. Online access codes are the worst though. Especially when you end up not even needing them.

Anyone know if it is possible to be in two yahoo drafts at the same time? Or will I get kicked from one once I enter the other?

[djohn2oo8]

[spurraider21]

[DD]

Should I trade Montee Ball/RGIII for Brandon Marshall/Matt Ryan?

I know my running backs would be weak, but I don't like RB's anyways. I would have Calvin, Jordy & Marshall in a PPR league. Plus Ryan instead of RG..

Would leave me with:

QB: Ryan
RB: Joique Bell/Ryan Matthews/Pierre Thomas/Mark Ingram
WR: Calvin Johnson/Jordy Nelson/Brandon Marshall/Brandin Cooks/Rueben Randall
TE: Bennett/Heath Miller

Holy shit you would be stacked at WR...hell yes take that deal. You're paper thin at running back but the uncertainty of Montee Ball doesn't outweigh the enormous WR/Flex advantage you'd have over every team you played. You literally would be better than your opponent at 3 of the 10 positions EVERY week without having to try. Ryan is also an underrated "fantasy" QB. RG3's knees could explode at any moment--and at the end of the day--the best you could hope for is maybe an avg of another 4 pts per game out of the QB position were he to stay healthy and scramble.

That is what I was thinking too. Plus, my RB's at least have solid PPR appeal. If one of them has a good week I should be golden most weeks.

[The Gemini Method]

So in the ST league, my WR corps is Megatron/A.J. Green/Michael Crabtree/Sammy Watkins. Besides the obvious, would you start Crab over Sammy W as a possible flex or 3rd receiver? Or would you go with the mediocre WR in the 3rd slot?

[DD]

Wouldn't start any player whose production was dependent on EJ Manuel

[Trill Clinton]

crab over sammy every sunday

[Trill Clinton]

y'all be sure to post your teams after the draft.

How many teams in that league? Coming away with Calvin/AJ seems crazy (especially if PPR). My league is 12 teams and I took Calvin with the 4th pick.

10 teams...about maybe me, Blizzard, and two other people actually drafted and one of the live drafters had difficulties with the NFL.com system.

[The Gemini Method]

QBs: Nick Foles; Russell Wilson




RBs: CJ Spiller; Lamar Miller; Pierre Thomas; Carlos Hyde




WRs: Calvin Johnson; A.J. Green; Michael Crabtree; Sammy Watkins




TEs: Martellus Bennett; Zach Miller




DEF: Seattle Seahawks




K: Blair Walsh








QBs: Aaron Rodgers; RG III



RBs: Alfred Morris; Danny Woodhead, Ray Rice, Chris Ivory, Jonathan Stewart



WRs: A.J. Green, Keenan Allen, Wes Welker, Sammy Watkins, Stevie Johnson



TEs: Dennis Pitta; Kyle Rudolph



DEF: 49ers



K: Steven Hauschka

[ColinB]

It is 12 I believe. My team sucks and what is worse is that I watched it happen.

Were you the one who couldn't select your players?

Just spoke with the dude and sent the trade. We will see if he follows through with the idea and accepts. There would be only one other team that could likely compete with me in that league overall (injuries and suprising bad play aside):

WR: Demar Thomas / AJ Green / Cobb
RB: Reggie Bush / CJ Spiller

[ColinB]

Were you the one who couldn't select your players?

Yeah, that was me. I was on my phone and it was auto drafting after 5 seconds. I checked the settings and auto draft wasn't selected. I got home…(it was probably around round 12 or so) and I get on my laptop. Still auto drafting. Then I realize auto draft is selected on my laptop. Doesn't explain why it was doing it on my phone though, so who knows. No biggie, I'll play it out.

[FkLA]

Question: If I said I was interested, would I automatically jump FkLA in line?

physically impossible for you to jump over me tbh

[Holden_Caulfield]

all paid up.

you faggots all ready for some football!

[DPG21920]

:cry it doesn't look like he is going to do that trade. I will have to ramp up the negotiations.

[djohn2oo8]

We draft on the 31st?

[ColinB]

Looks like it.

I was reading through the thread and I guess my only question is are the payouts set? Seems a bit unclear. Was the weekly points leader a go?

[chunticakes]

all paid up.

you faggots all ready for some football!

Mahhhh nigga. You ready for some more blockbuster trades Holden?

[Kyle Orton]

Fuck I got home late off work last night and forgot to pay. Gonna check league safe now

[Kyle Orton]

[J.T.]

Everyone is technically paid, however we've got multiple pending payment scenarios going on so I extended the deadline to 9/7 (Week 1) to give things time to clear. Labor Day kinda fucked that up. Draft coming up in a few hours, then after draft I'll make an official season thread.

[Blake]

I like Sam Bradford this year. Something tells me he's due for a big season.
