From the amount of people who decided that my SABAN NATION affiliation (are tea are baby) made me into a toothless bearded hag; I have decided to throw down the gauntlet. As we are approaching the most wonderful time of the year; I want to run a weekly pool with a 250gp buy in. I will make it non-complicated so our non-football (American football god dammit) loving members can play if they wish.

I figure if we can get five or six folks to participate each week; we will have a nice weekly pot to vie for.

If anyone wants to make side bets of substantial size concerning real conferences (SEC, ACC, BIG 10) we can work something out.

I would participate in this.

Gambling is illegal.

College football ain't my thing but I'll think about it. It's all about you, Pils.

I think I might be down for this. You'll never get me to bet against Alabama though. :p

RTR and RAMMER JAMMER to you my friend.

Bump Dammit.

We can do this with one or preferably two more folks...I think CF is in; but someone may have to find him. Perhaps he is somewhere in a poppy field in Afghanistan.

Homreker would be another...I know he is rolling in dough.

more like corn... but ok. I don't know much about college ball, though. I just listen to the ESPN guys and regurgitate it back at people... that makes me sounds smarter around here...

Bren, Rick, Hom, Mal (?), CF (mia), me.

thats a 1500gp pot...not a bad piece of change.

ten games with points included.

one game tiebreaker total points scored.

a tie after that would split the pot.

how does that sound?

I wish we could get some more people involved. Too many nerds and canadians. :P

Open a CFL pool and I might recognise some of the teams. :)

You know, you don't HAVE to know anything about football in order to do this. In fact, its probably better that way as you don't spend time agonizing over decisions that ultimately are wrong and don't matter anyway. I'm very successful in basketball pools that way.

Yeah, I don't know enough about college ball, but I'm willing to give it a go.

I know a few teams that are supposed to be good, but that means nothing...

Come on, Fren, you know you want to!

Alright, who holds the pot? When are my picks due? I'm picking them all at once, by the way.

Ummm...man. We need to find someone above reproach...like a holy priest or something like that. NO FUCKING TREES.

Picks are due Thursday's, prior to the Thursday night game.

I'm picking them all at once, by the way.

You mean the whole season?

You mean the whole season?

Yeah, why not? I'm assuming you mean the winner of each game, so cumulative record isn't going to be a factor. Besides, I can't be trusted to get picks in on time if I do them weekly, so I have to get it all done now.

Mal...that is not possible as point spreads do not come out until the week of the game.

Why don't we just hold our own cash until the end of the game.
Making picks signifies that you are indeed in.

Then the losers can pay the winner.

But, in this case, the losers will have to all be present and pay the winner at the same time while using the /kneel command and opening a trade window one at a time. The losers also must /y that the winner is the "Powerful seer of all seers, knower of all known, ultimate football picker!" All while standing in the middle of the capital city of the winning character's race.

I mean, really if we're gonna do this thing, we may as well do it right...

So the next time you get adds all over you in an instance we will make you kneel and say "Oh powerful plate-wearing Gods, Protectors and Leaders of us all...Please utilize your mighty taunts to release me from the derserved pummelling that I am receiving from these demon bunnies!"

Mal...that is not possible as point spreads do not come out until the week of the game.

Why not? Whichever team I pick wouldn't change no matter what the spread. Or are you doing something different than picking teams?

AHHHH...you are making my head hurt!

Well, generally that's what I do...

I'm not thinking that we have enough dudes for this. CF is in some opium den in Mongolia and Mal is going off on some druish vision quest to visit the Cow King.

So that leaves four...THIS GUILD NEEDS MORE FOOTBALL LOVERS.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

Well...that was large.

The Canadians have a bye in this as they think football fields are 110 yards long.

It is also understandable if the college/university you attended has no football team at all.

And if you went to a school west of the Mississippi...well you all just suck at football and are completely irrelevant...especially anyone from Oklahoma.

I would be willing to participate in a Hockey pool; so how about some CFA love?

Fine. Have it your way. I'll play by your rules you big baby.

Now you only need one.

In reviewing the thread, what games are we betting on? Just alabama state?

He's only betting on the games that he's fixed... lol
(My mom is convinced that all professional sports are fixed... but she's a huge football fan...)
