**College Football Pool: Week 1** |
|
It took forever to get here, but we're there...and, an extra day to get one's shit together. 12 games each week, up 4 from last year. A little tougher. Jon LP is the defending regular season champ. a la izquierda is last years Bowl champ. We have a Thursday night game, so before kickoff. Let's see if we can get a few more to play. We had ten last year.. OK. Shall we Dance??
Thursday, September 2 Pittsburgh +3 @ Utah
Saturday, September 4 Illinois +12.5 @ Missouri (St. Louis) Connecticut +2.5 @ Michigan UCLA -2.5 @ Kansas State Purdue +11 @ Notre Dame Washington +3 @ BYU Northwestern -3 @ Vanderbilt Oregon State +13.5 @ TCU LSU pick'em @ North Carolina Washington State +14 @ Oklahoma State Wisconsin -18 @ UNLV
Monday, September 6 Boise State -2.5 @ Virginia Tech (Washington DC)

1. Maybe we could review the rules?? |
|
Can anybody join? What happens if I miss the Thursday deadline? If I miss a week because I'm vacationing in the south of France, can I take zero points and play the next week? Is there a big, big fabulous prize or just the abundant pride of knowing one has bested their brothers and sisters here in the Sports Forum? Do you really have to let JonLP play? He makes it look a little too easy.

3. Okay... for the newcomers. |
|
Anyone is welcome. The more the fucking merrier. But I know a couple of the weaksticks have a problem betting the spread, like something more than DU bragging rights are at stake here. I will post games every Tuesday night. Let me know if you will miss one. We'll make arrangements. The over-all winner will win an all expense paid trip to the 9/12 rally...whenever the fuck that is. So pickers...let's get picking!!

Pitt., Illinois, Michigan, Kansas State, N. Dame, BYU, Vandy, Oregon State, LSU, Oklahoma State, Wisconsin, & Virginia Tech. A couple of good games, that VA Tech- Boise State will be interesting. North Carolina will field a good team and IF they beat LSU Les Miles will have a long season. I can't wait, oh yeah I'll be watching Kentucky- Louisville Sat @ 3:30. Fuck Louisville.! A tidbit of FYI, Kentucky, the state has 1/4 of the black head coaches in Div one. Joker Phillips@ UK, Willie Taggert @ Western KY, and Charlie Strong @ Louisville. Taggert in his 2nd season, Joker & Strong are first year head coaches. Let's play football.

8. 2 games that just missed the cut, era. |
|
The UK-Louisville and Fresno-Cincinnati games were intriguing. The Colorado-Colorado State game has become a stinking bore. Welcome aboard!!

13. Once more into the breach.... |
|
...hopefully MUCH better than last year.
PITT Mizzou (I know it is tempting with that many points spotted to Illini, but they are going to stink this year AND they need to FIRE RON ZOOK NOW (fireronzook.com)) The Blew will get up for their new stadium opener, and I really need Dick-Rod to get 8 wins this season (with another loss to the Senator of course)--he's the gift that keeps on giving (see also: Newt Cooper) UCLA Purdue Washington NW (Big Ten defeats SEC) TCU NC (Because Les Miles can suck balls) OK state UNLV (too many points, UNLV played Whisky close last year) ATTACK OF THE SMURFS!!!! Boise
Bonus: Minnesota defeats Middle Tennesee

if I don't get a good score, I'll use my Awesome Mod Powers to change time and go back and get them all right.
Heh.
I suck at this sort of thing, as I mostly just follow the Top Twenty and the SEC.

Pitt ('cause I like felines) Missouri (it wouldn't have been terrible to see them join the Big Ten) Connecticut (up and coming and I like surprises) K State (just 'cause) ND (2 fewer points and I'd take Purdue) Washington (don't dig BYU even if they will win) Northwestern (still love them kitties) TCU (way scarier mascot) LSU (see Pitt and Northwestern) OK State (just don't like those points) Wisconsin (go Badgers!!) Boise State (motivated)

..though I doubt anyone lit it up this week. I post 12 games every Tuesday night along with the standings. Gotta have 'em in by gametime Thursday night ( if there is one of importance) or Saturday morning before kickoff. Pushes are thrown out. Other than that, it's great to have you aboard. GO HAWKS!!
