Clean Slate 2008

Tomorrow marks a momentous occasion. It is my dad's 60th birthday. More importantly, it is also the evening of the season premiere of the show we all know and love - American Idol.
About 6 years ago I started an American Idol Fantasy League. It only consisted of a few couples making picks and "drafting" singers. Last year we stepped it up a notch, got a blog site and invited more players. We scratched the drafting part because there were too many participants - but had a crazy time trying to pick the winners and losers from every show. And just like six years ago, we were committed to trash talking and honestly evaluating the talent (or lack thereof) we saw on that fabulous show.
Who can forget moments like Scatgate 2007, Chris Sligh blaming The Police for bad timing, Phil Stacey looking like Marshall Applewhite and that poor girl who kept weeping at the sound of Sanjaya.
We covered them all.

Well, the time has come once again to fire up the old boob tube and enjoying Ryan Seacrest in all his glory. Hope you will join us this season.

Here are some pictures of what to look forward to ... ...




Michael Tait














BJ Aberle









The return of Josh Gracin













Every CCM singer at some point in his lifetime

BJ Aberle?! Wasn't he in THE NORMALS? ...that guy was a stud.

Team35 is back and ready to defend our Idolschmidol crown. And don't doubt that we wear crowns. We do.

Hi! I found your blog from a google search for "American Idol Fantasy League." I started a fantasy league last year with some friends, but we're looking for ways we can tweak our rules to make it more competative all the way to the last show. I'd love to hear your rules if you have them written down somewhere! Send me an e-mail or post a comment to my blog: larae.verhage@gmail.com

Thanks!

Methinks half of Team 35 has confused 'crown' and 'tiara.'
