Don't let the Holiday Blues set in . Play the DU College Football Bowl Pool!

[Condem]

In the Sports Forum. Win a weekend getaway to Perth Amboy, NJ. Not really. But win this baby and earn the undying respect and adulation of your peers. Forget 'It's A Wonderful Life'. Remember. Nothing says Christmas Eve more than the SMU-Nevada game from Hawaii.

[Forkboy]

1. Hmmm...Perth Amboy you say.

I could use a vacation....

[Condem]

4. I knew I could count on you, Fork.

Ever been to Perth (that's how it's affectionately known in NJ) this time of year?

[Forkboy]

5. I've spent many a night in NJ.

Personally I kind of like it. They do have the Devils after all. :)

[Condem]

8. I think Perth Amboy in the Lenni Lenape tongue means bad smell.

I may be wrong on that.

[Forkboy]

13. I'll keep that in mind on my next visit.

:rofl:

[Condem]

15. Why visit?

The place screams home, Fork.

[Forkboy]

25. It can't be any worse than Fitchburg, Mass.

Consider me there. ;)

[The Straight Story]

2. cool - count me in later, need to consult the beer gods before I choose

:rofl:

[Condem]

7. Allright, Straight!

You might need something stronger, though.

[The Straight Story]

11. I have vodka, wine, beer, and smokes

Give me a few hours and I will predict the games like I do the lottery #'s....ie, choose what I don't :)

[Condem]

14. You got about ten days, Straight.

No need to rush. This is serious thinking. Health care? Afghanistan? This is high stakes shit. I don't think anyone has EVER gone undefeated on this deal.

[taterguy]

3. Why the fuck do the Pitt Panthers get to play at Panthers Stadium?

The Selection Committee is on the take

[Condem]

6. Well, hell yeah, tater.

Did ya' happen to watch the Texas-Nebraska game? More conspiricies than the Kennedy assasination.

[taterguy]

10. Are you referring to a game that was played in Dallas?

:tinfoilhat:

[Condem]

12. Fuck, tater. I didn't even think of that.

Great call!!

[taterguy]

34. Great call? As opposed to that bs at the end of the Texas / Nebraska game

Ordinarily I hate the Huskers but I wanted to give chaos a chance.

[Condem]

35. All we are asking is give chaos a chance.

John Lennon?

[fishnfla]

9. KICK!! Get it? ?Football?? Kick?

The Sports Forum of DU is rolling in fine humour!

[fishnfla]

16. Dont let this thread sink

like when the Hindenburg hit that iceberg!

:P: gotcha happyiowan

[fishnfla]

33. 4th and long

time to punt

[happyiowan]

17. Do you have to be in the armed forces

to play in the Armed Forces bowl? And why is it you don't have to be from Texas to play in the Texas Bowl? Weirder yet - Navy is playing in the Texas Bowl and they're in the armed forces. Confusion reigns.

[Condem]

18. How can you even look at that?

When the New Orleans Bowl pits (no pun intended) Southern Miss vs. Middle Tennessee State????

[happyiowan]

19. That question is a big easy

everyone knows that anyone is welcome in New Orleans.

[Condem]

20. Big easy...har-har.

All right, Miss Smarty. Central Michigan-Troy in the GMAC Bowl. Are we paying for this fucker!?!?

[happyiowan]

21. Well, that game is a clunker...

it MUST be subsidized.

[Condem]

22. With this line-up..

how can President O possibly want a play-off?

[happyiowan]

23. Play off?

I thought he looked at some of those stellar games and asked for a pay-off. My bad.

[Condem]

24. Do ya get the feelin that GD is putting up with this Animal House thread?

Much too important shit going on to bow to College Football.

[happyiowan]

26. Barely tolerating is my guess.

n/t

[fishnfla]

27. the unrec troll was here

the fashion now is to bitch about the unrec troll, its all the rave

like bitching at the refs in football

[Condem]

28. Yeah.

That's why GD depresses the shit out of me. Not even 11 months and a lot of these folks think O a failure. It's beyond me.

[fishnfla]

Wise guy over in GD:P

"Barack Obama is the Jay Cutler of the democratic party." ( OK that was me in the spirit of a Bears fan sarcastic thread

Bitching at BO is like bitching at a coach who took last years' winless team to .500, with the season half over and still a chance to come out on top

[happyiowan]

29. Sometimes I feel like a little kid

coming out of the sports forum basement into the GD living room of adults. Doesn't take me longer than a trip to the fridge for a sixer to sneak back downstairs to figure out it's more fun in the rumpus room.

[fishnfla]

30. hanging out in the sports forum is like a garage party

nobody putting on any airs, nobody cares about the mess, and you can make as much noise as you want

no dress code either

[happyiowan]

31. Only funny 'cause it's true

And I've been to some fine, fine garage parties, too. Out here folks have some pretty elaborate heating set up to keep it warm and rocking out with the cars.

[Condem]

32. Garden Party, fish. The great Ricky Nelson song.

Can't please everyone. So, you got to please yourself.
