I was thinking about setting up a bowl pickem here so we could include any people who did not compete in the full season Yahoo CFB pickem league. Is there any interest in this?
I'm not sure if we'd do a prize or something, I'm just trying to guage interest in this.

It might not be through Yahoo, but I will make sure it is a pickem where you can form a group and don't have to be a member to enter.

Green Jerseys?

I think LSU is 4-5 against ND all-time. The last time the two teams played was in the Independence Bowl, so I guess things could be worse.

I'm in.

I did this on CMJ a few years ago, and it was pretty successful. I think we had around 20-25 participants and the winner received a mix from all who lost. Don't have to make it for anything unless you want to. I think chase won, but I don't remember for sure. You'd have to ask the winner how many mixes he actually received from this no-count bunch. :wink:

Oh, I set it all up manually, on the board, so that people could just copy/paste the list of bowls and make their picks right there in the thread.

Bet Central Michigan. MTSU is a fucking joke.



I'd participate.

This sounds good, since I haven't seen it on any of the boards and the Yahoo and ESPN ones seem to be a continuation of their full season league. How do you prevent people from changing their picks?
