2011 Keepers

The following are the finalized, declared keepers for the 2011 season. Unless someone gets hurt in the next week, you may not change your keeper selection. The first round will draft backwards (new teams draft first) since it's a custom, snaking draft. That way Coach Angela and UR Momma can actually draft first in the second round. So the order of drafting and keepers are:

1) Mason's Maulers (Coach B. Mason) -- Pittsburgh DEF
2) Better Masons (Coach A. Mason) -- Rashard Mendenhall
3) Mt. Morris Mauraders (Coach P. Tenney) -- Andre Johnson
4) George Crush (Coach C. George) -- Arian Foster
5) Silver Bullets (Coach B. Crawford) -- Matt Forte
6) Blitzburg (Coach Buddy J.) -- LeSean McCoy
7) TheRiskers (Coach J. Risk) -- Jamaal Charles
8) Powder Puffs (Coach L. Taylor) -- Benjarvis Green-Ellis
9) Fairmont Fury (Coach B. Taylor) -- Ronnie Brown
10) Nittany Mountaineers (Coaches L. and J. Risk) -- Michael Turner
11) Mt. Morris Mayhem (Coach J. Tenney/Commish) -- Michael Vick
12) UR Momma (Coach A. Crawford) -- Drew Brees

With less than one week 'til draft day, I hope you are working hard at drawing up your teams! See you all on Tuesday online.

Welcome Back!

Welcome back coaches for another exciting season of Caterina's Coaches fantasy football! There are a few important things you need to know before the season gets started:

1) Draft time is set for TUESDAY, AUGUST 30 at 6:30. When I scheduled the draft it was the only time available that wasn't 11:30 at night. And I don't know about you all, but this gal is an early-to-bed kinda gal. So I am sorry that we couldn't stick with a Sunday night draft as originally planned, but this is the best I could do.

2) Fairmont Fury and Blitzburg still have not declared keepers. You have until August 26th to declare your keeper, or the commissioner will choose for you. Please either respond to this post or send me something over the league yahoo website and let me know.

I am looking forward to a great season. We will bring back league voting on MVP, best free agent/waiver pick up, etc at the end of the season, so pay attention throughout the season. Good luck to everyone and I will "see" you all on the 30th.
