VTM Fantasy Baseball

jssaylor2007 — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 01:37:55 -0000

So last year I played fantasy baseball, and had a great time. I was wondering how many would be interested in a VTM league if I were to set one up? It really makes the summer go by quick, and it kept me interested in baseball all season.

Anyone interested let me know. Also let me know what site you prefer, ESPN or Yahoo. I would prefer to try and draft on Sunday, March 31'st, but if enough people show interest I can setup a date for whenever. I will try and get the league set up by this weekend, and will use the site the poll indicates is favorable.

To join the league click HERE

Draft is set up for Saturday, March 23rd, at 6:00PM.

Don't worry about not being able to make the draft. If you aren't able to be present for the online draft then Yahoo has an automatic draft picker that will be used for you.

Edited to add link to league.

Texas Upset

Need I say more?

The big 12 has been brutal to one another this year.

FSSW Rangers Fan Express

So I won tickets on the fan express from Lubbock, and I was just wanting to see if anyone had ever gone on it, and if so what might be in store?

Is anyone else from Lubbock who is going to be on the bus on here? From what I've read online it should be a pretty fun game. Colby is pitching and the Rangers are playing the Rockies.

Looking forward to the free cap, maybe we will get autograph opportunities as well.

OF

1. Reading all of the negative things week after week about our current HC.

2. Reading about our HC being compared to Leach week after week.

3. The overall pessimism over the future of this Texas Tech team and how we will perform under this HC.

First I'm going to lay this out there, I dont know if some of you can handle it or not, but sadly Mike Leach is gone.

Mike Leach is staying gone. Mike leach WILL NOT be back.

Guys I know the performance against Iowa State was downright terrible, but you have to accept that we are dealing with possibly the youngest football team in the Big 12 right now. To anyone who thinks TT is some kind of horrible failure why dont we take a look at the "best" recruiting in the conference and see what they do with all of these extra resources they have.

2009 Longhorns - Go 12-0 under Mack Brown and fall in the national title game.

2010 Longhorns - Not really sure whats going on here, this team must be young, it'll get better next year. Wont it ?!?

2011 Longhorns - Not quite on the same path as last year, but not exactly the path to greatness they seem to think they are so entitled to.

Now what makes Tech so special?

Is it the fact that we are consistently mediocre, and can sometimes deliver a key loss to the "greats" in the conference?

I think TT is trying to change this cycle of mediocrity, and I dont think many are giving him the timeline he deserves to do it. We are still dealing with a majority of Leach recruits who will be finishing up soon (1-2 yrs) and we have been consistently strong on the recruiting front ever since Tommy stepped on this campus.Not only has offensive recruiting been strong, but defensive recruiting has been amazing.

I know many on here have grown impatient hearing of change coming, and witnessing these changes haven't always been pretty, but give this program a year or two, let these guys mature, and I think we will see truly great things come from Texas Tech.

Who started the nationwide coaching/player abuse controversy.

As far as I remember the Mark Mangino occurrence was the first, and it set off a wildfire across the nation where student athletes cry wolf every time a coach slaps them on the butt. I feel the Mangino case was what started this off, but could you even imagine if the players had this mindset when Bobby Knight was in his fiery prime? I was just wondering if you guys could give a little input on this, since I'm not quite the Stump the Scwaub mind that some on this blog are.
