    We're still over a month away from the draft, but I'd like to get a preliminary list of who will be participating this year. Here are the people who played last season:

    SSG
    ChrisJent
    BobFinn*
    PhiSlammaJamma
    SF3
    Rocketpimp
    Behad
    Smeg
    DVauthrin
    Cat
    Puedlfor

    A couple of you pretty much abandoned your teams in the second half of last season, so I'm a bit wary. I don't like quitters. However, if you still really want to play, then you'll probably be allowed back in if you can convince me that you won't ditch your team this time around.

    For the others who were active all year, which is most of y'all, you dudes had better come back! We had a great season last year, and the transition away from Sandbox went pretty smoothly. I'm looking forward to another fun league.

    Respond below if you will be participating again.




    Behad -- Are we still set up to use Fanstar again this year? If so, will the league's site be the same? E-mail me if there is any new information or if there are any issues that need to be worked out.

    I'd be very very leery of using Fanstar after what happened to Finn. Let's look into other possibilities first.

    I'd be interested in playing if yall have an opening and are using a points-based system, head-to-head or otherwise. Tried a rotisserie league once and didn't like it.

    Well, no one really up and quit smallz style, so maybe my original statement was a bit harsh. I do know that Cat and Pued's teams were abandoned for a large portion of the season, probably because they had such poor records.

    I'll try again, now if my stupid team would stay healthy and perform I'd be a lot happier than I was last year.

    Whoa... one of the original old-school fantasy ballers returns from the dead.

    Where we'll play hasn't really been decided yet. The tentative plan was to stay with Fanstar, which was pretty good last year. However, if they still have problems (apparantly, Finn's basketball league got pretty messed up) then we'll have to look elsewhere. Yahoo is pretty much the only free service, but their head-to-head format is really bad, so unless they change it, I'd rather not play there.

    But anyway, we'll figure all that out later. Right now I just want to know who will be returning. So far we have:

    Confirmed members who will be playing again

    Smeg
    SSG
    Behad
    BobFinn*
    DVauthrin
    Phi

    People who would like to play if there is an opening

    SamCassell
    Oski2005
    nwo34life
    Castor27
    fatman510
    Nomar
    l3uddhab0y (what kind of a name is that??!)

    I think the basketball Fantasy demise is the cause of all the Rockets troubles, I have no doubt, so this better work, cause the Astros have put together a pretty good puzzle. Fanstar better not screw it up.

    I'm in.

    What is this, like our 4th year now? Fade, have you updated the web page with the results from all fantasy sports- I remember that you put it together at some point last year.

    Heh.. You mean this page? It's a bit out of date. I'll update it with 2003 baseball and 2004 football stats when I have the chance.
