Didn't he play for the Sixers at some point. Name sounds familiar.

 

Definitely played for the Sixers for a few years amongst other teams in the NBA. He was apart of the second consecutive UF championship as a freshman as well.

That 2012 team did better than "mediocre/okayish" in the Big East. We finished 12-6 in conference play and in a 3-way tie for 3rd place in a league that put 9 teams in the tournament. But as someone else said, that team's mindset was wholly different from this year's. It wasn't as explosive offensively, but they had a way of grinding other teams' offense to a halt. It would be interesting to watch for sure.

It sure wasn’t pretty. More like a trip to the dentist.

Eh, I've been able to do both. I don't know if it's just Hard Rock or Vegas in general, but I can't use individual players for the same-game parlays, so I mix it up. I'm not betting life-breaking money, so I have fun with it. Last night was the first SGP I've lost since I started throwing down on USF games. Usually just do USF to win, the O/U for the total game score, and something silly like an odd or even point total. I think for Sunday's game against FAU, I turned $5 into $30 and enjoyed the ride the whole time. Last night, I just said F the over, just get the dub.

Sounds like a Vegas issue. I'm often jealous of the parlays that don't live in NV who get to play. I'm not sure what rules the Hardrock gets to play by, but at books in NV you can't parlay single-player bets across multiple games and you can't even take a team and the over as same game parlays are also forbidden. When I lived in FL I used BetUS to bet on sports; so it's safe to say it's been a while. 

It's times like this I am glad USF athletics has conditioned me to start drinking heavily at 8 am on the weekend.

Decades of USF have me waiting for the carpet to be pulled out; it's not happening is it?

Crowd sounds great on TV. Miguel is on fire closing out the 1st half!

I was pulling for the Dawgs, considering I grew up in Seattle and my dad is a UW alum. Tough game for the Huskies, a couple of breaks go their way and it was a different game.

Family pipeline starting now....

The family pipeline should have started when Jason coached here.

TheBullsPen.com does not endorse this statement.

It’s ok; it’s legal in NV. They can’t even deny employment for it out here unless it’s DOT regulated. 

If I hadn’t smoked a couple infused pre rolls, took a handful of edibles, and had a couple drinks an hour or so before the game started I’m sure I’d be feeling a certain way right now.

Probably won’t miss a pick since my first live pick won’t be til the 8th round but unless I can duck out of the office early I’ll miss the first 20-30 minutes.

Sorry, I've been on the main board too much and need to get this set.  Yes, let's get a date set.  

Keepers close today.  I'll set the draft for 08/31, that should fit for WB too...It's a Thursday afternoon/evening preceding the holiday weekend.

206, what's the best time with you out west?  Could we look at say 5 eastern/8 Pacific?

 

I can accommodate anytime after 4 PST on typical weeknights so 5 is fine but a little earlier if need be for those back east is also ok. 

Feels like @Brad should just pick a date at this point. And go from there. I think weeknight/evening depending on your time zone is probably best personally. 

3 and it’s not particularly close for me. Skipped my once a week accounting class in the bunker to watch that game since our teacher wouldn’t cancel it. That fall was a ******* rollercoaster as a student.

Is there an explanation on keeper rules and how they impact the draft?  I searched the site and wasn't able to find anything

You can keep up to 5 players. Each player you keep will count as a pick this year. The pick compensation for each keeper is last years draft spot, minus 1 round. So if you selected someone in the 10th they’ll take a 9th this year. Players that went un drafted count as a 16th. If you keep two players that were picked in the same round they will take the preceding two picks(is 2 players picked in the 7th will take a 5th and 6th this year) unless you have multiple picks in the round before said players were drafted last season. You can’t keep players picked in the first round. I believe that covers it.

I upped limits, see if you can add the rest.

Tried to squeeze as much into these last two photos as I can. You have the “Bulls Are We” between the football field and the football(sort of visible in first photo).

Second photo has the “USF” on the back of the arm, the “63” for Leroy on top of the shoulder and you can at least make out the “KD #10” on the tattoo for Keeley. A little tricky getting a full photo of my upper back on my own.

I watch the rotating random gallery pictures and saw a bunch of the tattoos.  I remember after that new logo came out and we were winning, a lot of dudes and a couple ladies adorned themselves with a Bulls tattoo.  That's what winning does to ya.  Funky haircuts, tattoos, covered cars, etc...

Sounds right about right! Most of the real estate on my right arm is dedicated to USF. In the pics below you have the iconic U, then a football field with USF branding made to look like it’s coming out of the skin, below that in my forearm is the fight song made to appear as if it’s under the skin as well. Non pictured due to file size limits - “Bulls Are we” and a football on the inside of my bicep, USF down the back of my arm and the number #63(for LeRoy) to the side of the iconic U on my shoulder. Had a couple ideas to finish the sleeve but never got around to them(coincidentally haven’t gotten a tattoo of any kind since Skip took over the program…). 

Between my shoulder baldes on my back I have a similar version of Keeley Dorsey’s back tattoo(the words annd not the cross) along with KD #10 as well. I was there with Keeley so I got that one pretty shortly after his passing.

Now if I can just find that flurry of iconic U tattoos....

I’ll post a better picture of my right arm than that in my profile pic later…

Nice, I can’t remember another time in the decade plus of the league that we’ve returned everyone. I’ll be in San Diego this weekend and unavailable Labor Day but other than that, as long as it’s not too early in the afternoon on a weekday I can probably squeeze the draft in.

Sure! The beauty of this thread is that you can add or drop anyone you want.

It saddens/scares me to realize that this has been the case for over a decade and yet we may be in a worse position now than we were back then.

Could be worse. I think there may be better options than Fresno in the West and UTSA in the East.

As a west coast Bull. Sign me up for this. But, can we drop one of the other teams for UNLV? Or go to 12 instead of 10 and include UNLV? Asking as a UNLV football ticket holder since Allegiant opened…

Great value if he can produce anything near last year.

I grabbed him as a FA his rookie year and then somehow between him and Waller a couple years ago he went back to a 16th vs jumping forward. For that draft value, even if he has a bad season he’s still fantastic. In case you didn’t see it, check my edit for the higher picks by round(in case you want to change keepers). But, until last years trade I figure I had a WR2/WR1 at great value for his career with Terry so I know he’ll do you right. 
 

Curious to see how Robinson plays out as I drafted him pretty early based off adp last season but that was for a reason!

Chris Olave Round 9 acquired in trade no pick
Goedert Round 10
MCLaurn Round 15 acquired in trade
Brian Robinson acquired in trade not drafted  in round 9 so would it take my 8th round pick?

Zay jones not drafted so would that be last round?

If I dont have picks in the 9th  and 15th round do I give up the next higher round pick?

For example for Olave and Robinson I would have to use 7th and  8th round pick. For McLauren I would have to give up 14th round pick. For the Zay Jones my 16th round pick because he was  waiver fire add that wasn't drafted.

Picks by round

ChampaBay BoatParades	1	1	2	2	3	1	1	1	0	1	0	0	1	1	0	1

You got it as far as the pick differential. Hope you enjoy Terry, I know I traded him to you early in the season last year but it felt weird not selecting him as a keeper this season. 
 

Edit: I checked your picks available vs keepers. Because of the pick trades your were mostly right. Goedert is the difference. You lose a round each year and if you don’t have a pick in the round it jumps forward. So, do to last years draft order it should be Robinson 6, Olive 7 and Goedert 8, no 9th rounder but you have a 10th. You’re correct with Terry and Jones.

Get your Keepers selected!  

Up to five!

I am still waiting to hear from three owners.  I'll give a few days for contact and then the keeper deadline will be established.  Best to get a head start!

Selected mine on Yahoos website. But in case it doesn’t save for some reason.
