<div>I have so many responses to all these questions and comments. Just to clarify, I didnt actually go to ND, I went to the sports powerhouse of Cornell University. Im just a big ND fan since I have siblings who went/are there. And no, I did not enjoy the game or once again handing the Heisman to a hopeful candidate a la Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Rich raises a good point about me being younger than a lot of players I could potentially draft. In fact, my strategy might be to only draft players younger than me.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In response to the "new guy buys" I should remind you that as a sprite 26 year old, I am highly likely to bring only the highest quality beverages such as Natural Light. Either way, I welcome the hazing and getting to know everyone a little better between now and draft.<br>

<div>Dennis is going to be younger than most of the guys on his team. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>At least he is older than our kids. </div>

<div>Is he our first Notre Dame guy?</div>

<div>I guess I have to pass the mantle as the youngest owner in league (I turned 40 this year). There will be a mandatory hazing ritual involving copious amounts of booze. </div>

Hey Jeff, what’s the minimum drinking age at your firm? Will we need to provide a sippy cup for Dennis at the draft? That will go along with the strained food we need to provide our elder league member -- Brad Lee.</span></div>
