FireDigger Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Hi everyone. Looking for people interested in putting up 5 CCs (no MMs) for Yahoo! College Football Pick'em. This contest runs the entire college football regular season, so I'm looking for someone who will stay involved the entire season. If interested, please post in this thread and I will send invitations via PM. Thanks for reading! I also posted this contest at cA and ICC. Here are the league settings: Confidence Points Yes Spread Yes Tiebreakers Yes Start Week 1 Drop Scores Drop 1 score Deadline 5 minutes before the first game of each week Games To Include Use Top 25 games
CanuckSARTech Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Great idea, but I don't watch/follow college football. Sorry. But I know there are many others who do.

ndtoronto Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 What school are you working at? Illinois or Northwestern? Heading to the Notre Dame Army game on 20 Nov at Yankee Stadium this year
Colt45 Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Gents, certain questions should be kept to PM - thanks.
FireDigger Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 khomeinist, ndtoronto, invites sent via PM. Thanks again for joining! khomeinist, I'm pretty spread out in my college football as well. I grew up in Knoxville, so UT was my life growing up. Then I went to the other UT (Texas) for college so they're my team now. I then went to grad school at USC during the championship years, so I love them as well.
FireDigger Posted August 18, 2010 Author Posted August 18, 2010 Gents, certain questions should be kept to PM - thanks. Yes, I agree Colt. Sorry for the troubles. I will make note of it in future posts.
FireDigger Posted August 20, 2010 Author Posted August 20, 2010 We have five so far. Looking to get more people join before the season starts in 2 weeks! ndtoronto and khomeinist, I see neither of you have joined. Having problems with Yahoo!? Let me know. Thanks.
FireDigger Posted August 23, 2010 Author Posted August 23, 2010 The games for Week 1 is up. So far, we have six (that's 30 cigars y'all). Looking for a few more!
Azksig Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 I love College Football. University of Arizona grad here but grew up a buckeyes fan. Send me info.
FireDigger Posted August 26, 2010 Author Posted August 26, 2010 Last bump before the league locks on Monday (when the first lines come out)! Right now, we have 9 members. If we can get one more, we'll go away from winner-takes-all and go with a 50-30-20 distribution. BTW, who is "Make It Rain"? Any of you guys?
khomeinist Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Haha. Pacman Jones is a member of the pick em league.
ndtoronto Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Is it 5 cigars per week or for the whole season? I am gonna try and join later tonight or tomorrow Just let me know about the quantity of cigars Currently watching a rerun of the LSU/Bama game from last year
FireDigger Posted August 26, 2010 Author Posted August 26, 2010 5 cigars for the entire season's winner. Ahhhh it's you khomeinist... Looks like we have ten, possibly more!
FireDigger Posted August 30, 2010 Author Posted August 30, 2010 The league is set with 14 players! Since there are members from both FOH and ICC, I'll be updating notices on the league's page, so look out for commissioner's notes. Good luck all!
ndtoronto Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 How do the confidence points work lower number means what exactly Do the confidence points go with the spread or just straight up as well Please let me know so I can put in my picks
FireDigger Posted September 1, 2010 Author Posted September 1, 2010 How do the confidence points worklower number means what exactly Do the confidence points go with the spread or just straight up as well Please let me know so I can put in my picks Confidence points and ATS are completely separate issues. First, the league is against the spread, meaning we make our picks based on the spread and not straight up. After you've picked your winners for the week, then comes assigning a confidence point to each game. If there are 19 games, you assign 19 points to the game you are most confident and 1 point to the least confident, just as it sounds. If you need more info, read the rules here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/sports/fa...ttnRcTMIObi8nhG
FireDigger Posted September 1, 2010 Author Posted September 1, 2010 Any chance I can Join???? Sorry, the league is closed since the lines are already out.
FireDigger Posted September 3, 2010 Author Posted September 3, 2010 I received some questions which I have posted the answers on the league message board, so check it if you have questions and post the ones that are not answered. Thanks!
FireDigger Posted October 18, 2010 Author Posted October 18, 2010 Halfway through the season and I'm hanging in there in 4th place. Khomeinist still leads the league, but not for long. I am coming for you with a pitch fork!
khomeinist Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 I would love to roast Bo/FireDigger for his lack of respect for a proven CHAMPION. But alas I cannot. Cal/USC was too embarrassing. And what was in that Longhorn coffee? Can I get a cup? Make it Rain
