Hey Guys...
No question this week. I do have some other goodies you may be interested in, however.
The SIKIDS.com Fantasy League has started. Remember, every week the top scorer in the league will be allowed to write a section of that week's Fantasy Basketball Mailbag. It could be you! Lol. If you're interested, drop a comment in this post with your email address, and I'll make sure you get an invite to join the league.
#2... you know that big Memphis-Tennessee game being played tomorrow night? Guess who's doing the game blog for SI.com? Yours truly! I'd love to say I was chosen for the game after a lengthy talent evaluation, but it was all luck. Halfway through the college season, they gave me a list of games and told me I could choose the ones I wanted to blog for. I only picked this one because I wanted to see Derrick Rose play. Lucky, lucky.
Here's the really cool thing about the game: if you guys want to join in and chat along with me! Isn't that better than answering some question this week? All you have to do is go to www.fannation.com and register for a screenname. After that's done, you go to SI.com when the game starts (its scheduled to kick off at 9pm, EST). On the SI homepage, there's a scoreboard at the top of the page; find the game you want to follow (College Basketball: Memphis-Tennessee) and click on it. Once inside, there's a "Fan Comments" tab on the right side of the screen. Drop your comments there and you're in! Stop by if you're watching the game.
Ok, later guys!

Hey Guys
I'll stop by again tomorrow morning with another question for the week. In the meantime, I'm working on a couple projects that I thought you might be interested in.
So recently I was asked to begin blogging for SI's website, specifically the FanNation section. I'll actually be blogging live during tonight's Indiana/Illinois College Basketball game, which starts at 9:00 pm. If you have some time, register over at FanNation (http://www.fannation.com) and check me out! I'll be blogging live during a few more college games during the season, so I'll give you a head's up beforehand.
Secondly, I'm also doing some work on the SIKIDS.com fantasy website, writing a small section in the weekly fantasy mailbag. You can check that out here (http://sikids.com/fantasy/). I'm Duane from New Jersey. We're gonna be starting a SIKIDS.com fantasy league right after the All-Star break that'll include myself, our fantasy columnist and his readers. You guys should sign up! The player with the highest score every week will be allowed to write a section of that week's fantasy mailbag. Meaning you could get published on SIKIDS.com. Wouldnt that be cooler than getting your homework published? Lol. I'll keep you guys posted on when the league will start if you're interested.
One warning though. Our fantasy league is different from standard models. Instead of holding a draft where you pick up players, our model is structured so that each player acts as a GM. After you register, you are assigned a $75 million dollar salary cap, and allowed to pick up whatever players you want, so long as you remain under the cap. What this means is that it's possible for multiple teams to have the same players. It takes some getting used to, but it's a pretty cool curveball to the standard fantasy format. It's also why I give advice on which low-budget players to pick up in my section of the fantasy mailbag.
OK, I'm gonna go get ready to blog. Stop in at some point, check it out, then drop comments here letting me know what you think! I'll be back tomorrow with this week's question.
