Fall is here (well, almost) and you know what that means - football, and along with football comes fantasy football. I shouldn't be here too much longer, but the fantasy season will help pass the time. This year's should be better than last year, too, since we have a fantasy football approved for rec.
A few weeks ago West and I got to talking abou the season and he mentioned that it would be cool to get more people playing or if we had a unit-wide fantasy league. It sounded good to me, too, but how would it happen? We had an idea - if basektball, chess and volleyball had tournaments at rec, why not fantasy football?
For a rec activity or tournament to be legit, it must first be approved by the assistant warden. West and I argued over who would ask permission before we agreed that West would type up the paperwork and I would ask the assistant warden to sign.
When I walked into his office, the assistant warden greeted me and said, "Come on in and sit down. Sheesh, every time I see you, you always look so serious. Lighten up!" That was certainly not what I expected. I explained that we would like to start fantasy football leagues at rec to get guys interested in the football season and keep them at least a little occupied. He was all for it on one condition: the paperwork at rec and in the dorms had to be neat. No problem there. West can type stuff up at work in maintenance.
We had over sixty guys sign up, which gave us enough for five leagues. This whole week has been a string of drafts for each league. It's been busy for me but gratifying to see so many guys excited aboout the season, even guys who have never played fantasy football. Should be fun.
