BA Bowl Pick 'Em

Alright suckas, after my disappointing college football pick 'em season I'm back to avenge my piss poor performance. Pretty simple layout using confidence points. 41 bowl games equals 41 points. You may only use each point value once, put more points on the teams you have more confidence in. There is no point spread, this will be straight up but most games are evenly matched and bowls are always full of surprises. You think your conference is that much better? Back it up. Looking at you @BigRedDog and @turfy

One more note, the National Championship game is included. Obviously we won't know who is in it until after Dec 31 so keep that in mind when making your picks.

*must have a minimum of 5 trades with 100% feedback
*losers will send minimum of 3 bombers or equivalent of 66 oz of 90+ rated beer not available in targets distro
*if you fail to send, I will call you out as a bad trader and do all I can to let everyone know you're a scum bag
*trash talking encouraged
*** the tie breaker is the predicted score of the Championship Game...use it, it may come down to that
*please use your BA name when you sign up on yahoo, it makes it easier on me

DEADLINE FOR SIGNUPS IS December 17.
*First game is December 19th

PM all of your contact info (name, addy, phone number and email) if interested and I will give you the group and password info. If you remember, please title the pm Bowl Pick 'Em.

*Please be patient, I'm going to be slightly busy and will be out of town next week so I'll try to respond as quickly as possible. Also, sorry for not saying hello to most of you even if I know you. I'll be keeping it short and sweet with only pertinent info.

Cheers!

I just copied and pasted from college pick 'em to give you guys a heads up in case you're interested.

 

I'd like to be able to pay out the top 3. Pay outs will depend on number of entries. I'll try to update it every day or two. Off the top of my head I think we're ~9 people so far. Would like to get close to 18 if possible.

 

As soon as I get home, I'll send it over with the password and ID number. A couple hours.

 

Don't mind @Syracuse12 He's probably my oldest rival in college football. I hope you kick his ass

Looks like we have ~12-13 people so far.

 

I don't know why I do it to myself every year. Actually, yeah I do. To make games like Lousiana Tech vs Arkansas State or Georgia State vs San Jose State interesting but after just spending an hour figuring out my first four picks and how many points to assign, I'm wondering why I didn't buy more Advil.

My wife was doing work in her office. After about 45 mins of listening me to click away non stop on the keyboard and mouse, she turned around and said "Jesus, how long are you going to spend making picks?" I said "good question, I only have 3 of them figured out and another 38 to go". She shook her head and went back to doing real work.

Now you know why I get so emotional, it has nothing to do with giving or receiving beer. It's about hours of hard, laborous research down the drain due to a fumble, interception, Frank Beamer, etc.

Speaking of Beamer, kinda sad, this is my last dance with him. After all the years of him personally f'in me over it's about to come to an end. Still not even sure whether I want VT or how many points I'll put on them IF I do pick 'em.
