    I've waited long enough, time to get this going. For those who have never played, it's simple, easy, furturating as hell and may make you go mad. Some of those games you could care less about will now keep you glued to the tv. Quick run down.

    -yahoo randomly selects ~15-20 games each week
    -we will be using the spread that yahoo automatically provides
    -dead line for picks is 5 minutes before each game
    -EVERY week counts, no mulligans, if you forget to pick one week that's your fault
    -one point is assigned for each win
    -whoever has the most points at the end of the season wins; no weekly winners
    -payouts to be determined upon final amount of participants

    *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 :slight_smile:

    DEADLINE FOR SIGNUPS IS SEPTEMBER 1st

    PM all of your contact info (name, addy, phone number and email) if interested and I will give you the group and password info.

    I've been passing on a lot of new BIF and LIFs but since I believe this is where I met my man-crush @jshusc i guess I'll join. I never win but I've got a few months before I owe anyone anything!

    Football, beer, and a chance to trash talk. Right up my alley. I'm in! #BOOM#

    This should be fun. Plus an opportunity to get a box from @cfh64 #texaslove#

    Sorry for the delay fellas, I'm a horrible commisioner. I should be able to reply to everyone tomorrow. When I say everyone, I mean all 4 or 5 of you.

    C'mon people, it's not that hard. I'd like to believe there's more than 5 people in the entire BA universe that like college football and are willing to lose (or win) 3 bombers of great local beer just to keep games interesting.

    Lol, every year I keep saying I'll do that but always puss out. I've had a few up and down weeks so I'm concerned I'll pick the wrong week to try it. Who knows, we'll see how quick I become desparate.

    There is no way I could ever win this. Maybe if we get enough people to pay out 5 places I could sneak in but I doubt it!
    That said, this is still a lot of fun if only to listen to Brad complain!
    Sending info asap.

    And can I have Yahoo automatically pick against every SEC team to spare me the time? :grinning:
