okay, so I'm in the process of finishing my basement. Current status, the drywall is hung, and I'm awaiting mud/tape/finish, then paint. Of course, this basement is where my computer is, the hardline for the DSL, basically everything I"ll need tonight. So i drag the PC back over to where the phone line is sticking out of the wall, run an extension chord, power this puppy up, and discover that I need to install Firefox, since Google Chrome isn't worth a damn on Fantrax, worked on my phone!, and I need to install about 30 other system updates, and somehow, through a two month dormant period, the PC uninstalled the drivers for my wireless keyboard and mouse..so..I have work to do before the bell rings

Treff, I've found that once you're in the draft room, Chrome works just fine. Might save ya a little trouble.

I have chrome and it seems to work OK................so far.

Does anyone else ever get nervous right before the draft? Like, you've tested your system, the internet has worked all day every day leading up to the draft, then that little fear runs through you that your internet will have an issue. Or your draft room won't open. Or the entire city will lose power right at the time the draft is. No? Just me?

Well the trouble is/was. . No matter how many times I reset the settings in my browser, Fantrax wouldn't recognize that I had my cookies enabled, and therefore wouldn't even allow me to sign in.

Awesome post! Before my BigD draft yesterday, I was like a 10 year old kid. When I realized I was an hour early, I thought my head was gonna explode! And yes, the thoughts of everything that could possibly go wrong went through my head.

think I got it all cleaned up..what a mess..now jsut change the batteries in the mouse and keyboard..and good to go..man I wish I didn't HATE laptops, and the small screens on everything else..the PC is such a pain in the ass anymore. But on draft day, I'd much rather depend on it than my phone, or my daughter's kindle..lol

Brock is in! He will be accepting his invite in the next couple hours.

1 issue though, does anybody remember exactly where Bored was supposed to pick?

The order might be listed somewhere in this thread and I am about to look. Since adding new teams would normally change the draft order again, I have altered the set-up to manual draft order so that we can keep the same draft order we had before. Brock is currently listed as the 12th pick and will stay there unless we can figure out for sure where Bored was supposed to be. Everyone else is either the same or 1 spot higher than they were.

I am always nervous about that. Even more so now that one of my league mates has threatened to cut my power off.

Yeah, I'm literally just sitting here popping in and out of the draft room just to make sure I can still get in.

Hey all you Fantasy Assembly Gurus..you should make a printer friendly consolidated list.

 

[broncosmitty]

hope I am back in time. I worked all night Friday then had to get up early yesterday to buy my wife a new car, then worked all night last night. Now I have to take her to Frankenmuth today. Gotta love them on their birthday weekend.

Did you get the chicken?

 

[broncosmitty]

I may flip end up flipping a coin.

If the consolidator of the list (me) knew how to do that he would have!

At least this way, you will have to work a little harder to steal all of our picks.

Ya, I did, just waiting on reply

Just thought I'd let everyone know that, according to Fantrax, Ryan Braun is suspended. Just sharing this out of the goodness of my heart. I wouldn't want you guys to waste a draft pick.
