What are the normal draft times
I may be interested but it's a 10 hour difference here.

Generally draft times are scheduled on weekends, starting between 7-8ish pm EDT. If we were to have a 10 pm draft on a weekend, would you be willing to take up at 8 am for that?

@historyhokie.bsky.social

Yes. That works for me. Thank you. I emailed you my info.

Memorial Day is in May, but I like where your head is at, always planning ahead.

Are you using 10 or 12 team leagues? Just curious. TIA

Got it. Last year we had 36 so we just did three 12 team leagues. This year we have 43 (and counting) so we'll probably have more flexibility between 10 and 12ers. So the official answer is that I don't know yet :)

I just sent emails to everyone who signed up for fantasy football. If you didn't get an email (and posted on this thread or sent me an email), let me know so I can get you into a league.

We're going to have five leagues this year, all named for Hokie football legends:
Frank Beamer Conference
Bud Foster Conference
Sam Rogers Conference
Danny Coale Conference (PPR)
Vincent & Nina Fuller Conference

@historyhokie.bsky.social

Danny Coale Conference (PPR)

I see what you did there.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

The Danny Coale Conference, where yelling "IT WAS A CATCH" gets you a point!

@historyhokie.bsky.social

Somehow I missed this thread, email was sent and all that.

I need that other last minute person to join up

Invites have been sent out, please respond ASAP. There's a greater than zero chance that I butchered somebody's email address, so if you don't have an invite and have checked your spam folder, please let me know so I can double check and re-send. I promise, I didn't cut anyone from the leagues.

If anyone still wants to join, please let me know ASAP. We still have space for a few more. Draft dates are either 9/2 or 9/3

@historyhokie.bsky.social

Never received an email.

I just double checked and the address I sent the invite to matches the one you emailed me from - have you checked your Spam folder? If not, I'd be happy to try again or send it to a different email address.

@historyhokie.bsky.social

yep, that's what I have down. Will try again just in case!

@historyhokie.bsky.social

OK people, now that we've gotten assigned to our leagues, the next step is obviously creating awesome team names! (cuz "Team Smith" is booooooooooooring!)
Post your team name suggestions here for others to steal!

NAME - (ABREVIATION)
I Forgot Our Draft Date - OOPS

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

For game of thrones lovers - Kahl Fuller.

Im in Bud Foster's conference, so obvously I had to go with something badass sounding like Vindictive Blitzes

"The Big Ten is always using excuses to cancel games with us. First Wisconsin. Then Wisconsin. After that, Wisconsin. The subsequent cancellation with Wisconsin comes to mind too. Now Penn State. What's next? Wisconsin?" -HorseOnATreadmill

TD's & DD's.. I think I did that right??

I want to make it more player oriented but not sure who to pick..

It's too bad Donald Driver isnt still in the league. He scored lots of TD's with the Packers and has the initials perfect

"The Big Ten is always using excuses to cancel games with us. First Wisconsin. Then Wisconsin. After that, Wisconsin. The subsequent cancellation with Wisconsin comes to mind too. Now Penn State. What's next? Wisconsin?" -HorseOnATreadmill

Just a reminder that all drafts are tonight and tomorrow! I will create a post-draft thread on Friday so everyone can talk trash.

TONIGHT:
Frank Beamer Conference (7 PM)
Bud Foster Conference (9 PM)
Danny Coale Conference (10 PM)

TOMORROW:
Sam Rogers Conference (8 PM)
Vincent and Nina Fuller Conference (9 PM)

All leagues are now completely full, so a big thanks everyone for joining them on time!

@historyhokie.bsky.social

Nobody take Tyrod before me in the first round k?

@VTimHokie85

Alas, it will be autodraft for me. For some reason class for grad school is more important....

"The Big Ten is always using excuses to cancel games with us. First Wisconsin. Then Wisconsin. After that, Wisconsin. The subsequent cancellation with Wisconsin comes to mind too. Now Penn State. What's next? Wisconsin?" -HorseOnATreadmill

Sam Rogers Conference is now 10 teams? Time to overhaul my draft board...

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

My apologies - I had all of the leagues initially set for 12 so I could just tweak them down to 10 depending on interest/available draft times. Should have said it upfront.

10 team leagues: Frank Beamer, Danny Coale, Sam Rogers
12 team leagues: Bud Foster, Vincent & Nina Fuller

@historyhokie.bsky.social

It's all good, just means I don't have to worry about my middle round RB picks as much.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Hey Bud Foster Conference-> I'm going to kill it in the draft

DRAFT IN 8!!

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

Join us in the Key Players Club

I think autopick would have drafted better than I did. Gonna be a long season in the Bud Foster conference for team Dork Magic!

I highly doubt that. Out of the 5 autopick teams in the Bud Foster conference, 4 of them ended up with benches consisting of:

6 RBs and 1 Kicker
6 RBs and 1 WR (possibly the only reason he didn't end up with 7 RBs is ESPN's hard cap of 8 RBs drafted)
5 WRs and 2 RBs
5 RBs and 2 WRs

I didn't take note of which team was the 5th autopick team, and the results didn't include any of the positions getting fully maxed out like the rest of them, so I'm not sure who that 5th was.

So that's where all the damn RBs went...

Most of the mid-to-late-round ones, at least.

For me, I'm just hoping my #GoACC strategy works out for me. I got the following team (with college indicated):

LeSean McCoy (Pitt, though from their Big East days, but who else would I take 1st round so shhhhhhhhhh)
Calvin Johnson (GT)
Jimmy Graham (Miami)
Russell Wilson (Wisconsin via NC State)
Giovani Bernard (UNC)
CJ Spiller (Clemson)
Martavis Bryant (Clemson)
DUUUUUUUKE Johnson (Miami)
Devante Parker (Louisville)
Eddie Royal (Can't remember)
Rams defense (has a number of ACC starters)
Karlos Williams (handcuff for McCoy who fortunately went to Florida State)
Leonard Hankerson (Miami)
Teddy Bridgewater (Louisville, though when they were still in the Big East, but ignore that part)
Chandler Catanzaro (Clemson)
Jameis Winston (Florida State)

Overall I think my auto draft went ok.I can't decide if I'm happy with it or wish it was better

"The Big Ten is always using excuses to cancel games with us. First Wisconsin. Then Wisconsin. After that, Wisconsin. The subsequent cancellation with Wisconsin comes to mind too. Now Penn State. What's next? Wisconsin?" -HorseOnATreadmill

Which team was yours?

Vindictive Blitzes

"The Big Ten is always using excuses to cancel games with us. First Wisconsin. Then Wisconsin. After that, Wisconsin. The subsequent cancellation with Wisconsin comes to mind too. Now Penn State. What's next? Wisconsin?" -HorseOnATreadmill

Your team looks like the best of the autopicked teams, at least at first glance. Everything seems very well balanced, and you don't have a true weakness. Your two quarterbacks are both low-first-round quality, and at the very least you should be able to rotate them depending on the matchup with better results than Virginia Tech had with a similar philosophy in 2007-8. Overall, it's pretty much indistinguishable from a live draft team.

Well that makes me feel a lot better haha. I'm not used to auto drafting so I'm glad it came out well. Never thought I'd say this but thanks HD!

"The Big Ten is always using excuses to cancel games with us. First Wisconsin. Then Wisconsin. After that, Wisconsin. The subsequent cancellation with Wisconsin comes to mind too. Now Penn State. What's next? Wisconsin?" -HorseOnATreadmill

your auto draft killed it IMO.. a legit starting lineup and some good sleepers on the bench. !!

I was hoping I had a good setup for my autodraft to follow. Im glad it worked out!

Missed the freaking draft because I can't do time zone conversions. Awesome to see I got Cobb, although, it is somewhat disappointing that the Cobb I got is a RB I have never heard of and not the receiver from Green Bay. Still...#KuhnOnTheCobb

Not the bagman VT deserves, but the bagman VT needs right now.

would definitely be interested in trading for one of your 7 rb's..

I would probably be willing to trade one if you have a WR I like.

Not the bagman VT deserves, but the bagman VT needs right now.

WR's I am willing to part with-> Randle, Williams, Wheaton and maybe Landry..

RB's you are willing to part with would be??

Had a lot of fun drafting with the Danny Coale league.

Thanks again for coordinating all of this and good luck to everyone.

I drafted Tyrod in the 8th round of the BFC. Random fact: my phone wants to auto correct 'Tyrod' to the word 'Gyros' for what ever reason...

@VTimHokie85

NOOO!!! forgot about the draft! Oddly enough I was watching "The League" on Netflix instead.

so ready for the new season this upcoming Wednesday..

Me too. Should be all caught up by then. I missed Rafi so much.

Looks like my Brady pick paid off.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/04/sports/football/judge-overturns-tom-br...

In a major setback for the N.F.L., New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady prevailed in his battle to have his four-game suspension overturned Thursday, as a federal judge reversed a ruling by Commissioner Roger Goodell to bench one of the league's biggest stars in a dispute over underinflated balls he used in a January championship game.
