Please use this thread to share your opinions regarding the virtues of any college team/players/coaches/mascots/cheerleaders/fans/stadium as you feel appropriate. Keep the picking thread clean!

Zebraspots · #2 08-18-2008, 03:00 PM

Fighting Irish all the way!

High standards for their players - both in academics and behavior!

Gorgeous campus/stadium - anyone who's ever attended a game there understands why it's a must-do for every true football fan.

And of course, I am required to say they'll win the Nat'l Championship this year - no matter how improbable that is!

DuneLaker · #3 08-21-2008, 10:54 PM

I always pull for the referees.

Kathydwells wants to know where the Bama love is? Would somebody please answer this?

Dunelaker-I didn't ask a specific Big 10 question because I think more people are interested in SEC/ACC around here. But I did include the Illinois-Missou game in the picks, right? Do you think Missouri could get Zooked?

Nevermind, JB explained it to me. Thank you JB. Not that I like it one little bit, but oh well we have been here before. Like JB said, flying under the radar we are.

p.s. Skunky, sorry about messing up the pick 'em thread.

Mistakes are acceptable while we are still in training camp. Now go run the stadium steps 5 times and don't let it happen again

30A Sunkape, It was Big 12 that I'm most interested in. There may be more of those fans around here than you realize. We have club meetings. Sometimes we even have a regional gathering from Pensacola to Tallahassee. Certainly many tourists from this fan base visit here in SoWal. Thanks.

My bad, Big 12. Well, I did include the Missouri/Illinois game, didn't I?

DuneLaker · #12 08-22-2008, 05:50 PM

Thanks for doing. This is the first time I've participated, so we'll just see how this game picking goes. Gig Em.

DuneLaker · #15 08-22-2008, 07:18 PM

Well, to get in the football mood, even though it is an NFL game, I'm going to watch Dallas Cowboys/Houston Texans tonight. There is no love lost in that game. FYI, the head referee is also the Big 12 Conference referee coordinator. Might want to watch and see how the game is called. May give some insight into how Big 12 games will be called, even with rules being different between the two entities NFL and NCAA. Correction. Information changed. Different referee tonight.

DuneLaker · #16 08-22-2008, 08:13 PM

Gary Kubiak, former Texas A&M quarterback, and his Texans just scored first against Jessica Simpson's team. I'll be looking for her to be wearing a SoWal sticker while she cheers for Dallas and Tony Romo.

You're right. I deleted it. He ain't worth it. (and you may want to do the same)

Poor Skunky. Doubt he's ever even worn a jock strap (unless it was on his head while being bullied in gym class)/

Now, now, relax, I gave the tide 50/50 credit for being 'that good'. Yes, I have worn a jock, and unlike some, was able to gracefully leave it behind in high school

BeachSiO2 · #46 09-04-2008, 06:55 PM

Man, I can't believe I missed the most recent exchange. It's good to see that JB is already in mid-season form. Just remember, one win over an ACC team does not make a season. Wait, maybe it does for some teams. Carry on.

I didn't get to see it since we were at Sam's game. Mr OL was listening to it tho and it was skeerrry. Thank goodness our little freshman pulled off their first win in the last couple minutes of the game. I love to watch any kind of football.

Its all good-you forgot to pick, Tuberville forgot to install an offensive game plan. It happens.

By the way, on a serious note, glad to hear Lester only had a sprain. We saw his awkward fall and for a moment there it was scary.

Just do it, skunky and BR!

If that's the case, drsvelte should get a break because he's been dealing with Gustav.

Everyone gets too busy at times. I was late with mine once last year because of Mom's fall/surgery/hospitalization. Just don't want the exceptions to be abused, but this is supposed to be a friendly game. So drsvelte should get a break.

Also ilikeyourteam didn't post this week. Dunno why.

I used BeachSiO2 as an example, because I saw his post. Too busy was not my reasoning....it was storm related business.

Another option is to give anyone who missed a week the lowest score for the week. That way they don't get an advantage over someone else who got their picks in on time, but they also don't lose every game. In last week's example, it would be 4-4. Just a thought, AND MK I appreciate you trying to help me out!!

Just a suggestion. In my money pool, anybody who doesn't get their picks in on time gets assigned the all the "away teams," that way there is no question about timing. They away teams usually end up about .500 or so. That way nobody who has issues ends up with the doughtnut, but they don't profit from missing the time either.

What do you guys think?

That's what hubby suggested. I posted that in the other thread.
