Quote from Walk Ons - Hoop Daddy on September 30, 2023, 8:57 amI listened too. Really interesting to hear from Rick how it got started. Russ, do you remember how it was when Rick told us the first thing we needed to do to create the second league was to sit down and create a list of 208 or more names we would like to draft. We all got real quiet at that point. When we reassembled a couple of days later, we all had 25-30 names and no clue how to come up with the rest. And we we had told Rick we were all experts in college basketball. Humbling experience. Now it's all come full circle, I can't tell you who's in what conference anymore, and players, I'm surprised when someone shows up the next season at the same school. I figure it's a typo.
And, let me take this opportunity to repeat what I've said before. This is Dunking Dogs year, the best team without a trophy! Make it happen Russ!

Quote from Gator Bait on October 16, 2023, 3:21 pmJust listened. Good hear some of Dave's thoughts on drafting. Clearly see how he wins/challenges most seasons. Fun challenge. Thanks for some insights Dave. I have definitely stepped up my fantasy game over the years and you're a reason why. And man, Rick really puts in a lot of work for a labor of love. Also I'm going to take some credit that frequently I'm the "one other other person" Rick mentions. Good stuff overall.
Finally the shout out to Strato. I'm right there with you. Been playing since 1983 and I was doing hoops when it was mostly cards and dice keeping those stats manually.
Man, it's boring waiting to pick...

Quote from Grouchos on December 3, 2023, 5:15 amYeah,
I had played Strat-O-Matic when I was a kid. While I was in college I met a guy and it turned out he was a Strat-O-Matic fanatic. He had gotten in touch with the creator ( I think the name was Nick Panos) and from their conversations began making his own discs to create teams that the game didn't have, so he could re-create all of the great teams of the past. I would come over and we would play. Whenever he needed to rally he would put on this song (title escapes me but it was a classic metal tune, something with devil in the title) and he would usually rally. I enjoyed playing all these great teams from the 30's, 40's and 50's that I had never played when I was a kid, but, he was really, really, nuts about playing this game and it just got to be too much; I couldn't really enjoy playing after awhile.
