2006 FOFC Alma Mater Fantasy Football (Time to set lineups!)

QuikSand · 07-06-2006, 09:03 AM

2006 FOFC Alma Mater Football League

OWNERS, PLEASE GET YOUR PLAYERS AND SET YOPUR LINEUPS

We’ll give this a try again… it seemed like a fairly low-investment enterprise last season, to me.

Core concept – manage a fantasy football team including only players from the college of your choice. You get free reign to all those players, and nobody else. That’s it. (The school doesn’t necessarily have to be your own alma mater, but it is probably more fun to root for players from a school you at least support…)

Here’s a thread on last year’s effort, if you want some background:

http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/...ad.php?t=40685

Last year, the late season emergence of Larry Johnson (perhaps coupled with the disappearance of Donovan McNabb) propelled Penn State to victory. Congrats to JeeberD on the win.

I have reinstated the same settings as last year, with one alteration – instead of using playoffs, I’ve set it up to just be a season-long league table, with the long-term winner finishing on top. With a league involving such little strategy for the short term, it just seems fairer to make long term results count more. If there is a consensus to change this or anything else about the rules, I’m willing to follow the majority.

For this year – we will start signups with people who are returning from last year with the same school. If you played last year, and want to play again, please use the following information to sign up:

rafini · 07-06-2006, 10:04 AM

I'll take Penn State

digamma · 07-06-2006, 10:20 AM

Giving Rocky Top another run.

Huckleberry · 07-06-2006, 10:24 AM

I'll take Texas if sachmo doesn't return to take them.

Butter · 07-06-2006, 10:29 AM

I'll take Ohio State if Bearcat### doesn't return as well.

I'm back with USC. It should be fun with them this year.

Klinglerware · 07-06-2006, 10:54 AM

I was Miami-FL last year--not sure if I'll stay on yet. They are an interesting team--I was very successful with great skill position and defensive players, and without a QB. Much like how Miami-FL does it in real life (great D, speed at the skill positions, and without a comparably great QB)...

Swaggs · 07-06-2006, 11:22 AM

I'll give it another try this season.

Hopefully Mark Bulger can stay healthy and Chris Henry can stay out of prison.

Swaggs · 07-06-2006, 11:23 AM

Guess I should add as West Virginia.

dacman · 07-06-2006, 11:51 AM

I was Auburn last year, but would like to switch it up. I'll determine my final college choice later.

Franklinnoble · 07-06-2006, 12:00 PM

Do you have a complete list of schools and last year's owners?

rkmsuf · 07-06-2006, 12:08 PM

I'll take VT again.

I'm going to return but not as Ohio State. Just not enough Offensive players from tOSU in the NFL to make the game fun.

I'll wait to see what teams decide to return before picking a team

Lathum · 07-06-2006, 01:01 PM

I would like in if there is a spot.

Lathum · 07-06-2006, 01:02 PM

dola-
is there a deadline for returning teams?

JeeberD · 07-06-2006, 02:10 PM

I'll attempt to defend my title with the Nittany Lions...

Silver Owl · 07-06-2006, 02:30 PM

I'll take Virginia again.

Sublime 2 · 07-06-2006, 02:32 PM

I think i had Wash. or Wash St. last year, either one, i'm back.

Lathum · 07-06-2006, 02:34 PM

I would like Florida state if they are available

Franklinnoble · 07-06-2006, 04:52 PM

I'd take Miami, just for all the Redskins players. But it's probably unavailable...

Drat - I was hoping to guide my alma mater this year. At least the Hokies are in good hands - I'll be rooting for you, rkmsuf.

Sol-A-Rex Sol-A-Rah!

Swaggs · 07-12-2006, 08:10 PM

Bump... in case anyone missed this the first time around.

sterlingice · 07-15-2006, 02:53 PM

I'll keep with Notre Dame again, tho my team is weakened without Bettis and I'm still lacking a QB. Strong defense, decent recievers, and Julius Jones will lead the team again

SI

I think I will bow out of this season, so I guess Miami-FL is up for grabs...

If you hold onto ND past this season, you should have a QB.

DanGarion · 07-15-2006, 04:54 PM

Is Tennessee isn't taken, I'd probably take them.

I'm kindof holding onto that hope

Either that or Ron Pawlus or Rick Mirer come back from whatever South Pacific Island football league they're playing in or car dealership they're running or drugs they're dealing or whatever they're up to

Sweeeet.... I'll take it.

Franklinnoble · 07-15-2006, 06:16 PM

Is there a good page to see all the NFL players from a particular school?

JeeberD · 07-15-2006, 06:17 PM

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/college?letter=m

Franklinnoble · 07-15-2006, 06:23 PM

So, Ken Dorsey is the only active QB from Miami?

Somebody page Vinny Testaverde... and can I get an extra running back or two on my team?

sterlingice · 07-15-2006, 07:29 PM

Sure, you can have as many as can fit on your roster. You can only start 2, tho

SI

QuikSand · 07-15-2006, 07:54 PM

Okay - we'll keep it to returning owners until the beginning of the week, and then open it up to anyone else who wants to claim a school.

Wasabiak · 07-15-2006, 09:39 PM

I'll play again. I was Florida last year.

Bearcat729 · 07-15-2006, 11:15 PM

Since I don't want to use Ohio State this season I'll take Auburn.

QuikSand · 07-20-2006, 03:13 PM

Looks like we are sitting on 13 teams right now... anyone else who wants in, sign up and claim a team, then post here.

Butter · 07-20-2006, 03:15 PM

Since Bearcat729 picked Auburn, I'm clear to sign up as Ohio State then?

DanGarion · 07-20-2006, 03:18 PM

I'll take Tenn.

Lathum · 07-20-2006, 04:07 PM

I saw there was no michagin so I snagged them

hahnkim · 07-20-2006, 07:10 PM

i'm in with UCLA... Anyone seen Cade McNown?
