Pickem contest

[ricky023]

Well I am all over the CRS Pickem page and i can not find a Join Box and I do have a full time account open. RTR!

It is a screwy page.
1. I fumbled with it until I realized that it wanted my old password (from a year ago).
2. If you're going to the page via Hannibal's link (previous thread page to this one), it puts you in after you simply add a password: RollTide (be sure to use capital letters for each word).
3.  How to join?  My name was already in the system from last year.  I just went to "My Entry" (as I recall).  May have to use your old password.

 , Thank you Chechem. -I am in there and making my picks now. Shows my weak mind in operation of the Puter.

What's all the panic about?    Don't we usually post the games on Monday @ 5:00 on game week? 

I am planning to do the contest again.  I am really busy right now but this will pass pretty soon I hope.

Does anyone have any suggestions for games?
I figure we could kick off the year with both of the Thursday SEC games.  Sometime tomorrow afternoon I will set up the contest with the 10 games we come up with.

Cecil Hurt recommends these games. Keep in mind Ole Miss at Vandy is a Thursday game. USCE plays No Carolina on Thursday as well.

Cecil Hurt ‏@CecilHurt 21h
Current Week 1 odds: Alabama -19.5 over VaTech... AU -14.5 over Wash St... Ole Miss-3 at Vandy... UGa -1.5 at Clemson... LSU -4 over TCU.

The line is pretty high on the Rice v. TAMU game, not available some places.  Might want to go with Louisiana Layfayette v. Arky instead, or WKy v KY, or UAB v. Troy.

Good list.  Hope we can keep A&M in there. 
Thanks, SC.

I direct this message to my fellow posters. Would it be more interesting if we all made, say, 3 recommendations (with reasoning for picks) for the pick'em each week, instead of making a list of 10 choices by one or two posters? Then, SC could make the final decision. If this does not work for SC due to his work schedule or puts more work on him, then we could stick to how we do the games now. Just wondering if this idea is too cumbersome or just a bad idea. I appreciate you guys input. SUPERCOACH, if this does not work for you, that's fine with me. Not trying to stir anything up, just trying to make the discussion more involved and interesting.

In past years, it was hard to get timely input, so I usually listed the main games and people commented.  But it's not a monopoly -- the more input the better.  If you want to be the one coming up with a list, or have a game or three you want to include, go for it.  I usually just go to ESPN and pick out the televised games, so I don't care if they get picked or not -- just trying to make the selection process easier.  I do like the idea of several people coming up with suggestions; if it happens, great.

[SUPERCOACH]

MD, feel free to make suggestions whenever you want.  If you can post them by Sunday evening you will probably beat everyone and get the first crack at it.  If there isn't a thread already for the next week, go ahead and start a new one.

Anybody that wants to can make suggestions.  CP doesn't monopolize it at all, he just does some of the grunt work for me, which I greatly appreciate.

CP, I appreciate you taking the initiative to get things going.  It makes things a lot easier for me to already have a list of games ready that I just enter in to the contest for that week.

I am about to enter the games for this week, so this is the last call for suggestions.  MD, is there a game you would like to add that isn't already on the list?

No line for aTm, so I will go with Petrino's debut at W. Kentucky.

Doh!  Kentucky/Western Kentucky was already in the list.  I guess we will go with Arky.
