Adopt-a-Bronco? - The Orange Mane

kmonty · 07-14-2008, 04:53 PM

Hey, this is my first year actively posting on this site, and I just had a quick question.

The Adopt-a-Bronco under each person's name - is it the type of thing where there's a thread made and everyone chooses someone (who hasn't already been taken), or do you just go ahead and adopt someone independently for the season?

Sorry for the interruption, I know there's just so much killer news going on today.

Thanks.

Tommy Nalen for me

CHANGSTER · 07-14-2008, 05:03 PM

It was like that. I remember last time I drew Nate Jackson!

ludo21 · 07-14-2008, 05:07 PM

it never works right.

Just adopt whoever you want.

CHANGSTER · 07-14-2008, 05:10 PM

I'll do that.

Nate Jackson? Damn it. somethings wrong with me.

ludo21 · 07-14-2008, 05:12 PM

Im still holding out for Ernster to come through.

CHANGSTER · 07-14-2008, 05:13 PM

I didn't notice that. I feel much better about myself.

kmonty · 07-14-2008, 05:13 PM

lol thanks guys, I'm gonna grab Clady, dont think hes taken (but apparently it doesnt matter)

DomCasual · 07-14-2008, 05:27 PM

I've participated when we've done it in the past. But I kind of think it's cheesy. The last time we did it, I adopted Jason Elam. He never called. Never visited. Never even wrote. I almost got the sense he didn't know I had adopted him.

Taco John · 07-14-2008, 05:35 PM

You just adopt who you want. Doing an adoption draft is a lot more trouble than it's worth, and people end up with players they don't care about.

I agree with Scotty.... Some posters just grab a name when I had it the day the news came across the wire. Go figure

kmonty · 07-14-2008, 06:28 PM

lol, two posters above me have the same guy.

TJ has spoken, end thread.

SureShot · 07-14-2008, 07:01 PM

Don't even think about taking mine.

Crushaholic · 07-15-2008, 12:47 AM

It was a nice idea, but we couldn't come to a consensus on what to do after they were "drafted".

Atlas · 07-15-2008, 12:55 AM

Man, it sure would be a nice break from all the nothing that is going on now.

DBroncos4life · 07-15-2008, 12:56 AM

Im the man that ruined Watts's career.

Taco John · 07-15-2008, 01:00 AM

You should be more careful when you're driving then.

I feel bad for those who adopted Travis Henry last season.....I'd imagine that now that he's unemployed, the babies' mommas are coming out of the woodwork and demanding money from family members.

Sucks to be you.

Actually I have sported the Clady tag since the draft, just sayin. Feel free to adopt him as well Im not really the adoptie type Im just excited to see him play next year.

Kaylore · 07-15-2008, 11:13 AM

Is there a way to increase the number of characters? Kory Lichtensteiger doesn't fit. I don't want him, but Jack "MF" Williams doesn't fit either.

brncs_fan · 07-15-2008, 11:22 AM

I am waiting for camp myself.

I wouldn't want to adopt a "loser."
