It's not a Dream. My Fantasy Team's FOR REAL!

For three years, Andy has participated in Fantasy Football. He partipates in League drafts and online auctions and has never allowed me, a girl, to participate. However, he's always seemed to ask me on game day which players to play. It never has failed, whether he has taken my advice or not, my predictions have been spot on 95% of the time.

So, when it came time for him to have TWO leagues this year, he gave me the opportunity to participate in one of his leagues. Thus the birth of team "Rocky Top!"

The auction draft was pretty fun with both of us in our kitchen on laptops, at times bidding against each other. And though the QB of team Rocky Top didn't turn out to be Peyton Manning (it should have been, but I didn't want to spend $50 of my fake $200 on him), I have a pretty stellar team of guys who haven't always turned out to be the best in Fantasy. My strategy: pick players who are either from the south or played college football in the south that I like to watch. (nearly all of my team matches this strategy)...and I must say, after week one, it's paid off. I not only won my game in my nine team league, I scored the second most points of any team!

From Jay Cutler (Vandy) to Thomas Jones (Virginia), Jason Witten (THE VOLS) to Calvin Johnson (Ga. Tech), Roy Williams (Texas) to the Dallas Cowboys defense... my team ROCKS and is currently ON TOP! Greet team Rocky Top who's league owner is a GIRL!
