At nfl.com I set up a league for us, if there is sufficient interest (must have 12 teams.) Time is short, as the draft is set for Wed. 9/3, at 3:15pm ET. It's set up as a live draft, but by ranking your players ahead of time you can draft on auto-pilot, or even just go with their player rankings. I realize this is not the ideal time of day for a live draft, but it was all they had available, no nighttime slots. If you are interested please sign up now and spread the word to your fellow UICers.

League name: UpInClass.com

password: secretariat224

Thanks,

Tom

password doesnt work for me....

Sorry, I'm already a member in another league at nfl.com; forgot that they automatically bypass all the sign-up stuff once you are registered. Here's the deal:

1)www.nfl.com
2)click on "fantasy>fantasy games" from the top toolbar
3)click "sign up today"- register for user id and password- record these somewhere
4)click again on "fantasy>fantasy games from the top toolbar
5)click "join a league"- at the very bottom of the page in small type, it says "advanced features-search by league name"
6)click, and enter "upinclass.com"
7)join

did all that but the password doesnt work...
log in as commish and shoot me an email invitation. it will include the password. maybe a typo somewhere...

pwrfade@sbcglobal.net

same thing for me....it rejected the password

Otis and I are in, Seth and John you should have an invite e-mail. That means we need eight more, so if you are interested, please contact (trwdsd@aol.com) me with your e-mail info so I can send you an invite. Draft info is as mentioned above, I know it's not the way we'd like to do it, but time is of the essence. Steve, Sean, Frank, Spanky, I'm hoping you will all jump in. Dell, you Redskin fanatic, how about it? Greg? If we get to where we just need one more, Colleen has volunteered, but watch out, boys, she's a big Steelers fan and probably is better at football than horses, and she knows the horses. Trying to think of others who are pigskin players, anyways, you're all invited. First come first served. Thanks.

The invite worked for me. For those having trouble just make sure you're already logged into NFL.com, if you don't have an existing account create one then try again.

Hey Guys,

I'm attempting to make a comeback, but can't seem to get in. Probably a message from God....

Can't find the "join a league" link

'gooch

5)click "join a league"- at the very bottom of the page in small type, it says "advanced features-search by league name"

hope this helps

It doesn't say that at the bottom of my page. I must be ,missing something. (not unusual)

Thought I was finally in, then the password was rejected. I was already logged in to nfl.com. Do I need an email?

I'm in. I hope the draft isn't that much work....

I made it as far as the password myself and it said I needed an invite...did you get my email Tom (asking for an invite)? If not, my mail is acendahole1@yahoo.com

Hey guys...I thought I would be able to participate in the live draft, unfortunately I'll be locked up in a conference call during that time. I have set my draft preferences. Just thought I would give a heads up so no one is waiting on me.

Thanks for setting this up Tom, looking forward to the season!

Spanky, check your e-mail. I created a team for you...called it "RedskinsRule"...nahhhhhh, just kidding.

Jman,   Better tell Mr. Kerkorian to order some extra cash for the sportsbook this weekend,  Elk- is coming

LMAO Eric...I'm sure that the company can afford to pay out a little...Opening weekend of pro football is always an awesome weekend to come out to Vegas. Enjoy buddy! Don't forget the extra bag to carry all the cash you're intent on winning.

Nothing like a sports book full of guys who bet $3 twelve team parlays that are paying $9,742.

I think I got in. I named my team Buddy's Boys. Am I in???

Can't make the draft, but am trying to get my son to sit in. If not, I guess I'll go with the computer picks.

thanks for setting this up. Sorry i couldnt join you last night in the draft. i am otherwise occupied on Poipu Beach. Off to try my luck at Princebille today. Ohh the sacrifices we make...

Good luck all! Youll need it

That's no thong!!!

Brady gone. Gee, that was fun while it lasted...

Just a note: I used my discretion as a Steward and deleted the recruitment thread in the Racing Forum as you guys already filled the League up last week. Hope you guys have fun with this thing.
