 | | Travis Dennee 2006 Cowchip Champion
|
|---|
I'm back folks...Welcome to 2007...
Congratulations are in order for Travis Dennee and his Sweat Hawgs as they repeated as champions and won the Cowchip League for the 2nd time in a row...with this great group of owners, that is quite an accomplishment...The Sweat Hawgs just pummelled Brad North and the Mean Machine in the title game (137-66)...amazingly the Sweat Hawgs were so deep this year that their bench this week scored 117 points! Great job again Travis as you get the repeat...can you go for the infamous "threepeat" (I just paid Pat Riley 25 cents...I'll take it out of the league kiddy)...
Great job by a number of teams this year...Brad North for getting to the title game, off the #5 seed. John Murray for dominating the league for most of the year. Brad Kreklau for starting strong and then holding on to get a division title...Great job everyone...
I had a nice week off of work and some R&R to get me going for 2007...Travis...if you can send me a digital photo head shot and I'll post it on the SmartGuySports.com Hall of Champions, or if you want me to use a stock photo let me know (haha)...Each of the teams that have money owed to them I will be sending out an email and will set that up for you today...
New Year's Day is my favorite Day of the entire year...It's the day that I get up late...watch some college football...get bored, and start doing my final fantasy football roundups and cleanups for the year. The boredom hit me about noon today...Overall I'm pretty pleased with the rules for this year and how the league turned out...really the only thing I'd like to change is the trading system, which I think we tested pretty well this year...If anyone has any suggestions, let hear them now and we'll put them up for a vote...
I hope that everyone enjoyed the year and I hope that everyone is coming back next year...I've got a couple of announcements to make on 2007. One...I have enlisted Dirtbag and my brother Brad into helping do recaps and stuff for this league, which I took on, which should free myself up for more of that in 2007. I know you guys all like that stuff and I'm going to try and accomodate as much as possible...
I have decided that there are some rules changes that I would really like to incorporate into 2007 and beyond...I'm not a big fan of going crazy with rules changes, but there are a couple of items that I think definately need to be fixed in 2007. I'm going to spell them out here and if anyone has any comments, suggestions, or have some ideas of their own, then let's hear them...I'd like to get these decided on and posted soon. Thanks...
#1: Waivers...I would like to move the weekly waivers from running on Wednesday night to running on Friday nights...this gives teams more time to put in waivers and gives everyone more of a chance to pickup waivers fairly. Because waivers now run on Wednesday, some teams don't hardly use the waiver system and instead just put in first come first serve players...We would keep this for the rest of the week, just move the blind bidding from running on Wednesday nights to Friday nights...this gives everyone more of a shot to put in their waivers. I realize that there are Thursday games, but the bye weeks are over by them and I don't think it will be a big issue...
Other than that I think this league runs well and we think we have a solid format...I loved the way the FantasyAuctioneer.com draft went, and I heard a lot of positive feedback from you guys on it...
Thanks and have a great 2007...
