    We could use a few more players for sure. Winnings and competition will be pretty lean this year.

    I was going to drop reminders in some other football threads. Is that frowned upon?

    I wouldn’t think so. I’ve tagged everyone from last years BIF and reminded people in the regular season BIF.

    Both are dying a slow death :confused:

    I can throw a few games to give people I chance if that will help but I still plan on coming in first :stuck_out_tongue:

    Don’t forget, first game is today, early afternoon.

    I tinker for the most part, I’ll pick a few games I’m confident in at the beginning but the rest I really don’t mess with until a day or two before kick off. I used to go crazy trying to pick them all at the beginning but let’s be honest, it really doesn’t matter how I pick, I’ll still win :stuck_out_tongue:

    As for John, Jensen and Turfy I could throw darts blind folded to pick my teams and beat them which is ultimately all I care about.

    GL to everyone but the 3 mentioned above, first kick off is about 2 hours away!

    On a side note, I just found out the Kent State Golden Flashes and Utah State Aggies are playing about 20 minutes from me. I can get ~50 yard line tickets about 10-20 rows up for $20 a piece on Tickpick. Thinking about going just for fun but will probably puss out due to the 30-40% chance of rain.

    The more I think about it...last year I went from last to first and won the Bowl BIF but it came down to the final game, this year I went from last to first and won the College BIF but it came down to the final game.

    I’m sick of being nice. Although nothing is better than letting John and Jensen count me out and start prematurely talking shit but I think I may go for the jugular this year and layeth the smack down so I can enjoy the National Championship without having to wonder whether I’ll be in first or second.

    No big surprises for the first game with the exception of @mhksuccess who took a small gamble by laying a point with Charlotte. Not a bad decision, I thought about doing something similar but somehow ended up putting 25 on Buffalo instead :confused:
