you forgot:

8/12 - First meeting of the "BLB Withdrawl" group. Main topic of discussion: How to keep diesel from going apeshit. Punch and pie will be served.

Perfect schedule! I head back to school on 8/15, first day of class is the 20th. Those first two weeks of school my BA level will probably continuously hover around the mendoza line.

Oh I fully expect somebody to break into my apartment while I'm gone and sim. You guys will be in 1988 when I get back.

That's what he said.

Wow... we turned the double play on Diesel.

Can I assume there won't be sims on the 9/9 and 9/16 as well?

There won't be sims on 9/6 or 9/16. What's on 9/9?

[mahoney2]

Isn't your party on 9/9?

[Andrew]

Isn't your party on 9/9?

No, the 8th.

[Jistic]

Looks like a lot of time to concentrate on football...and lick my wounds from the season.

Andrew, I just wanted to thank you for the flexible schedule. With a 48+ hour work week, going to school full time, and a family I figured getting the expansion draft done with me there would be tough, but the schedule looks good. Thanks!

BTW, what time will we be doing the expansion drafts?

No problem. It actually helps with my wedding being this summer because I don't want to start FA before a big break.

Nights after 9 ET are usually best for me, but I'll be flexible to whatever is good for you guys. I also might task some other current owners to help run the draft.

All that I ask is you guys be prepared for it and know who you want to select. Also, make sure you're not expecting to pick guys who are automatically protected because they were selected in the 1980 or 1981 drafts.

We have 4 sims or so to complete the draft, but we're not relegated to just "sim days". This should give plenty of time to get through it.
