We used to do this awhile back...but then we sucked and so it stopped happening but now I think we'll be watchable/competitive enough to try again!

Copy and paste the questions with your answers next to them, we'll have to lock the thread next Friday (Give you 1 regular season game to gauge the squad if needed)

Good Luck!
