Me too. If you're who I think you are, we'll be playing on MD1!
Right back there with ya! Looks like I you on 4 and 25, dnb on 7 and gnash on 18.
Yes, I noticed that we had two match-ups. If gnash is who I thought it was, I thought your match would be on day 12.
Yeah, my bad. I scanned the wrong line. It's 12.

If I've counted correctly, 11 of the 26 LLamas in A Mag were in some A rundle last season, while 21 of the 26 LLamas in A Pac were in some A rundle last season. Both still look pretty formidable from down here.

And now I enter my rookie season and will likely get crushed :/

A Mag looks formidable, but it looks a WHOLE lot better than the A Hor of last season. I think the way the leagues grow and "dilute" the top talent seems to work pretty well. In a few seasons, realigned leagues look just as formidable as the old ones they split from, as new referrals kick pretenders like me out of A.

A Highland, in keeping with my heritage. Also in keeping with my heritage, I am going to drink a lot of whiskey and cry "Freedom!" just before my antagonists decapitate me.

I'm in D Magnolia, along with GreeneK and CHardee, plus three of my referrals. I've been waiting for this season to start forever, it seems like. I need to improve upon my subpar showing from last season, but the end of the year is crazy at work for me, so I'm blaming that for my low get percentage. I'm ready to roll this time. I am also really excited for the introduction of private rundles this time.

This Orlando Bus Driver is in R Continental Div 1.

Who is Chris Becker? That's me!
And I dodge the bullet in Badlands! Phew!!!
Kevin Comer and Allison Manzuk are probably the frontrunners to crush everyone else in that rundle. Good luck at trying to get one of the other two spots for promotion to a B rundle.

I'm still in B Badlands, but see that a lot of people that were supposed to be in the C rundle are here. I wonder what caused so many people to quit.

I think the chances of me getting one of those two slots is next to nil - but we'll see how the questions fall!

They call them spoilers for a reason. Oh, how I wish I had not opened that one. I've been sick this week and have three episodes to watch...but I'll take that to mean Chris lost...on perhaps a clue about Robert Duvall?

Do yourself a favor and watch Wednesday's episode as soon as you can. One of my favourites ever. No spoiler - it is just really really good.

I haven't been on Jeopardy (yet), but I was on the local high school quiz bowl TV show back in the day. We lost on a question about third degree burns. For everyone's sake, I think I will pass on this tradition!
