| Just feeling it today boys. Hey, let’s talk about some stuff. Me, Keith, Jeremy and Sean have been kicking around an idea to celibate Ragnarok 25 (it’s next year). What if we drafted in Vegas? The lodging would be less expensive than the house we had last year. Maybe agree to put our dues to the housing to help mitigate the cost? Flights from RDU are pretty cheep. ( $250 trip). A new hotel is opening at the end of this year downtown (where I like to be) that will have a six level pool area with a 130 foot screen to watch sports on and the worlds largest sports book. Imagine watching opening day NFL in a pool? Let’s have an open discussion here about how we can make this happen and truly make Ragnarok the greatest FF league ever. ❤️ Billy |

Clarification
|
|
|

So we are talking about doing this in 2021 correct? And we would fund it by playing with no prizes this year?
I love the idea if I can make it work financially. I would have the added burden of having to save a considerable amount for bail and Asian hookers. |

2021 would be Ragnarok 25. Kent, Prostitution is illegal inside the city limits of Las Vegas, sorry to disappoint. But you are probably right about bail. There are a couple of housing options. 1.Hotels: most hotels have rooms with double beds. We could house two persons per room like this or get cozy and house 4 per. B: suite options- could house 4 people, if we went this route, we prolly would only need one and that room would host the draft as well. All other rooms would be regular. C: there are 2 hotels that have bunk rooms as in 2 bunk beds per room. Airbnb or some other rental service: I have rented a house in Vegas a few years ago for 10 people and it was pretty easy to get around with Uber and Lyft. Plus the obvious place to have a draft. As far as hotels go with this new place being built, we don’t have to stay there per say but I am gonna watch football there on Sunday in my bathing suit Fer real. Also I forgot, Stu has been a part of this conversation before my initial post. (Sorry Stu!). I will do some quantitative analytical analysis in the fall, pricing out all options, flights from all 5 different airports, etc. Meantime, I would love to hear everyone’s thoughts about the idea.
And please, remember...
You are in the blast zone |

It sounds amazing...
|
|
|
|
...but it will be a hard sell for sure. For my family, anyway. And while taking off a week from teaching to go to Vegas for a 25th anniversary fantasy football draft sounds like a killer bromance movie... It might take 18 months just to convince anyone outside of you reading this, to understand its financial, healthful, and emotional upside.
I'm not saying no. Today, I'm saying...I don't know. But the hotel slaps. And would be EPIC in all aspects.
Will keep you updated!
How bout them, Chieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeefs!
P.S. Raised 20K in three months to take 23 plucky kids to Louisville KY to compete in Nationals repping NC! Will compete against 9 other states! Wish us luck!

Have you met me?
|
|
|

Most of the things I do in life are illegal, immoral or at least improper. Hence the bail money.
Oh they are sooooo gonna love me long time. |

I can't overstate how much Ragnarok25 in Vegas would be incredible
|
|
|
|
| Speaking only for myself, I think it's an incredible idea and would definitely be in for this. But I don't want to be insensitive toward a variety of personal/familial/financial situations so if it cannot work, it cannot work. |

A couple of updates
|
|
|
|
1.) If civilization is up and running, I’m green lit for Vegas in 2021, if I save my coins. That’s awesome!
2.) We didn’t win the whole enchilada, but probably a technical 3rd place, nationally.
- scored 298/300 points! 🔥
- best supporting actress
- all star cast for the lead actor
- best sound design
- judges choice: best use of elastic bands. (It’s a thing.)
- between ten students to audition for college, they collectively totaled 528 callbacks!
True highlight of my career, and college level directors asked if they could use the elastics the way we did. Hard to believe I devised a new way to create doors and windows on stage... but, innovation.
Sturgill Simpson kicked ass last Friday. His new album Sound and Fury is dope. It was not a country music show. A rager. But I think most cowboy hats didn’t get the show they thought they would.
We have lots of toilet paper, food, and disinfectant.
That is all. |
