Join the DU Bowl Pick 'Em Challenge!
Edited on Sun Dec-13-09 10:16 PM by Jeff In Milwaukee
Earn bragging rights to the Lounge by winning the DU Bowl Pick 'Em Challenge.

It's this simple:

1. Go to Yahoo!Sports and on the top navigation bar, click on "NCAA Football."
2. On the "College Bowl Pick 'Em banner, click on "Play Now"
3. The Group Name is "Democratic Underground"
4. The Group Slogan is "Donate to DU" (Skinner is paying me for this).
5. The Group Password is "Change"
6. Make you picks -- and don't forget to scroll all the way down because there's shitload of bowl games!
7. Sit back and wait to be humiliated by my expert prognostication.

3. OK. So it's NOT that easy!
The Group ID Number is 29287. And the password is "change" and it is case sensitive, so it's all in lower case.

4. I joined
I finished my picks but it's going to take me awhile to try to rank my picks based on confidence.

5. I believe the first bowl game is Dec. 19...
So if they operate like the NCAA Basketball Pick 'Em, they'll lock out and changes shortly before then. You probably have this week (till Friday).

6. I'm working on it now
What I mean is it's going to take awhile before I finish. I'm only down from 34-25 in confidence rankings.

10. I am in! I have a suggestion for my opponents here
Look at my picks. Once you stop laughing, pick the opposite.
This is an exercise to remind me why I do not bet on sports, especially college sports.
I pick very seriously, but honestly, I stink. Witness my last place finish in the NCAA on this board last year.
I like that upset.
