OT: I.E.O.G.A -- Interstellar Evil Overlords Gridiron Association (Fantasy Football)

Ragnarok · #1 July 15th, 2004, 03:12 PM

You guessed it, it is time for another season of fantasy football! I will be creating the league soon and I wanted to let everyone know about it. The season of course does not start until September 9th but sign ups can begin now.

Before I create the league I need a creative name for it. Any ideas? Preferably SEIV related.

Last year was the Shrapnel Forum Misfits or something along those lines but I am sure with the creative minds here we can think up something more cleaver.

I would love to see a turnout better then Last year. Perhaps having more of a notice this year will help out. I will post here again when I have the league set up and I will post the official name for you to join.

Post here if you would like to be included in this league.

Player 1: Ragnarok

Ok here is list of players.

Player 1: Ragnarok
Player 2: WhiteHojo
Player 3: kalthalior
Player 4: Kana

The league will be on Yahoo if I failed to mentioned that, and looking back I did not mention it.

Like I said I will post the league name once I get a good one. I sort of like the Football Empires suggestion.

geoschmo · #6 July 15th, 2004, 07:16 PM

Yah, count me in.

And if you are taking a poll, count me as a vote for Interstellar Evil Overlords Gridiron Association.

Edit: What's even better is you can say the acronym out loud and it sounds like an old car horn. IEEOOOGAAAA!

The league has been created. I thought I'd do it today before I forgot about it.

Here is the information you will need.

League ID#: 141755
League Name: I.E.O.G.A
Password: shrapnel

I could not fit the entire name (30 char. limit) in so I just put the acronym. We will know what it stands for.

I set the draft date to Wednesday August 25th at 1:30 PM est. But this can be changed and probably will be changed to what fits everyones needs.
The positions are as follows: QB, WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, WR/RB, K, DEF, DEF, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN

Again, that can be changed as well so please offer suggestions.

signed up and waiting for the season...

Good Lord, I made a suggestion that people actually agreed to? I must either be slipping into schizophrenia, or perhaps hell has really frozen over. Quickly checks nether regions of the abyss. OK, not frozen, so I must be insane. Good luck to everyone for the upcoming season.

I want to particpate. My Kansas Trailblazers are ready to dominate the league...

However, may I suggest that we have a more simple scoring system this year. Last year there were too many ways to have points deducted that made it more difficult to evaluate which players to use each week. Sometimes the studs were duds due to a fumble or interception.

I have some suggestions for scoring if you want me to post them...
