COLLEGE PICK'EM IS HERE!!!!!

Hi all! Albeit a week late, here is another way we can talk smack and compete against each other. Plus, it gives people like me reason actually gloat when bowling green upsets pit, instead of just thinking "really? thanks for showing up this season Pit". I just sent you all an email invite to join the league (at least i hope i got you all - let me know if i am missing anyone). Its a setup similar to the bowl pickem we did last year. -You follow the link and choose a name. -The password (if you need it) is "gameday" without the quotes. -Once you get your name setup you can make your picks for the week. The format I chose uses a "beat the spread" system. What this means is this - as an example: UF is a 21 point favorite to beat Miami this weekend. If you choose UF, it doesn't mean you think UF is simply going to beat Miami, it means you are betting that UF will "cover the spread" and beat miami by at least 21 points. That said, if you pick miami, you will win even if miami loses, just so long as they dont lose by more than 21 points. I chose not to include confidence points with this. I figured that having to deal with confidence points would triple the time it would take to make picks, and I know some of you - not me :) - actually have lives and/or are involved in other leagues where green things are the wager and the stakes are a little higher. You can make your pick up until 5 minutes before each game. You can also opt to have the league send you a reminder email and let you know its time to make your picks. If anyone has any questions or trouble getting on let me know at jfraxeda@law.stetson.edu Incidentally, i will be in gainesville for the game this weekend, so look for me on sportscenter saturday morning cheering and holding up an irrelevant but humorous sign. Happy gameday!!!
