Originally Posted By DJ7K Ah! It does start on Thursday, but again I say just in time! Actually this time I didn't have to type in the password, I just clicked on the link and signed in with the member login I've been using since I first joined.

Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD OK. I went ahead and joined this too. It sounds like fun. I don't know much, but I love the Cowboys. I am shooting for dumb luck.

Originally Posted By DJ7K I think I recall Ursula awhile back claiming to have been getting help from her DH as well at the time, so absolutely. I would like to say thank you very much to Rebekah for doing this each year, if I never joined when I did awhile back, I would still be scratching my head about basics of the game. When you make picks, you suddenly have a reason to follow each game no matter whose playing. When you have a reason to root for a team even if you don't care for them, suddenly you find yourself following it more closely and you begin to learn more about the game that way. At first awhile back, I had no idea what the announcers meant by saying, "their own 40 yard line" or "they're in Tampa Bay territory". But quickly after I first joined, I started to pick up on it and everything started to make more sense.
