0 Subject: Poliboard Basketball 2006

We have failed to get our Basketball League off the ground two years in a row now. We just didn't get an early enuff start. Let's correct this here and now.

Poliboard Basketball signups:

Consider this your chance to reup. If you have played in it before please request a place at the table now. Let's see if we have the slots filled before opening it to new requests.

I am provisional commish unless a more worthy candidate steps forward. I am not over-eager for the role so feel free to nominate yourself.

Let's get drafting by this weekend please. If anyone thinks that isn't pushing it hard enuff tell me why we can't wait that long.

Even though I seem to be losing my passion for fantasy sports, I still enjoy the comraderie from the poli leagues, so count me in.

I'm in even though I swore off the NBA a couple of years ago.

I'm going to pass on this. Good idea--just bad timing for me with everything else going on.

It will be a miracle if I do well this year as I basically don't do any fantasy sports anymore but Poliboard and we missed two years. No time like the present to get back up to speed tho.

Do you follow the poliboard conversation regularly at least, Wiggs? It kind of defeats the purpose of the league to bring in those who don't interact on the board. You are worthy competition at least.

Out. I canned my only bball league, which I had every chance of winning with my crop of keepers, but just no time for a sport I'm only mildly interested in these days.

Basketball preseason is incredibly short and the season will overtake us before we know it. Knowing how hard it's been the last three years to get the Basketball Poliboard season together I intend to start this thing even if we should run late but I intend to do everything I can to avoid that.

Of course, if you were able to get a strong stable of active managers and were going to make it a keeper (I can only play keeper leagues these days, I can't motivate for a one-shot league), and keep the rules simple, there is a small chance I'd take the last opening if it were available.

Boikin has definately been active posting enuff to be in. You can handle the management aspect at a high level? Consider yourself in Boikin, if you are up to the challenge.

BTW you can have a keeper league as long as you find another commish. It's a redraft if I am commish tho. I am open to starting a keeper next year.

I'd be alright with a keeper starting in Year 2. Would allow us to get the rules kinks out and whatnot.

This league will be started if I have to fill half of it with non-posting subs. Not sure we can start the league game one tho.

Some obvious candidates we haven't heard from:

I see no answer from Sox, Toral, Stuck, MattS, Ukula, Motley Crue and I think any or all of them would be perfect for this league. I'll see what I can find in the way of contact numbers and reach them.

Tried Spach at his 2001 email address but it was returned--not surprising. All I had is Spachalagu@aol.com

I'd start the arm-twisting with Toral and Motley Crew and go from there.

Keeper starting with next year's redraft.

So no, the players selected this year will not be our keepers.

i think i'm probably dropping out, as i've got an offer to get into another league, and this one doesn't seem like it's going to happen.

With even Tree dropping out I have to admit, we are getting so few actual poliboard posters I am questioning the point of the doing this.

Do the other five poliboard regulars feel it is worth my hitting the contact list and actually calling the usual suspects?

I am just amazed. It's the only game I love in real life. We had a few great years of it in Poliboard. It fills almost half a year and the dead months of winter. Why wouldn't anyone NOT want to play it here?

Tempting to try a sweep (I'm currently undefeated in football, though with playoffs that means little), but no.
