Do I really need to explain the rules?!?! Yea, I didn't think so.
The only real difference this year is that we're going to try and do a little better with the matchups. We hope that this will keep more people interested for longer this year. Each year we have 100 people play the first week and then about 40 that play out the whole year.
Here it is:

I was wondering when this would be announced. It's not college football season with out the BB&B College Pick 'Em!
Yea, it snuck up on me in between my MLB The Show, Mafia Wars, and Backyard Monsters.
NFL Survivor will be coming up really soon too.
Good job, Matt. Thanks for doing this.
This here be the report package. You can use the same sheet to enter next week's picks, but they are not available just yet.

Pick sheet ready.
When I submit my picks, I get the following message

Laying blame at others feet . . . . AGAIN!
Like my mentor taught me...
Ok, pick sheet is up FOR REAL this time. tested it with Lindsey's account. If I win with her account, that will be SAD... :icon_razz:
Woooo! After teh first week, I am sitting all alone at #74!
Something just isn't right.
Where is oledawg66 ??
I have a discrepancy with a couple of users to clear up before I can post the report package. I'll try and get it up ASAP.
Yeah, you can blame my fingers and the not-so-smart phone I used to make my picks this time.
Well, I wasn't going to name names, but..... :zstupid: :zstupid: :zstupid: :zstupid:
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Ok, I've got that taken care of now, so I'll post the report package, and I will post the new picksheet tomorrow evening/afternoon. (Hey, I've got a Golf Tourney and that's REALLY important!! :D )
Ok, the report package is updated. It might be a good idea to bookmark this site. It's a pretty cool feature that I tried for the Basketball contests, but I didn't quite get it right. I think that I have the website down pretty good now, so the picksheet (not ready yet) and the report package coming from this link every week.

Report package is up for this week. The picksheet will be up this afternoon.
Rough week for us all. Thank goodness for the lowest week getting dropped!!
New picksheet is up. Enjoy!!
http://www.latechbbb.com/contests/pi...2011/home.html
The report package is up. I think that I'll have the picksheet up before lunch tomorrow morning.
http://www.latechbbb.com/contests/pi...2011/home.html
Picksheet is ready.
There is a Friday night game. Make sure that you get your picks in before kickoff of the Utah St/BYU game.
Two things:Quote:

Just Friday game (pick the loser)
1. I understand and I'll avoid them unless it's a pretty interesting matchup with a conference mate, which I believe this one is.
2. Definantly not the whole week!! The deadline is still set for Saturday at noon (just an hour and a half away!!)
Thanks for the feedback. I did make some changes this year to the matchup picking, and I hope that in the end, it's better than years past using TDF's system. :D
Pick Sheet Please :D
UUuuummmm.... board upgrade.... keeping me swamped..... uuummm.... yea......
Ok, it's uploading as we type. About to test it. Click away!!!
We're up and running now. Jump in!!

Well, it surely has hurt my performance, not having you pushing me from behind, oledawg. :icon_razz: Must be quite a relief for you not having to eat heel-dust this year, what ?? :icon_wink:Quote:

The new picksheet is up as well. FYI, DFM is the reason that there is not a Military Appreciation Game of the Week.....
Navy is killin me...
I'm still getting the old picksheet.
I'm getting the new one now.
This weeks picks are gonna be tough...
Refresh your page (hit F5.) I've already tested it with Lindsey's account, so I know that it's working right.Quote:

New picks?
Report package has been uploaded.... I'll work on the picksheet today. My co-worker's been out, so double duty here for me.
Tied for 1st in last week's picks. That's a rare bit of good news in this year's contest for me.
Ha Ha. You said doody.Quote:

The Week 9 report package is updated.
The Week 10 pick-sheet is in progress. I'll notify you when it's ready.
Ok guys, the new pick-sheet is ready. If you're not getting a sheet that starts out with Texas Tech vs Texas, then you need to refresh your page. (That's for you Smalls!!) :icon_razz:
TDF will be the one to update the report package early next week and also will do next weeks pick-sheet. I'm sure that the contest is in capable hands (but just in case, I'll keep my air card warmed up and ready to save the day..... :D )
See ya'll in a couple weeks.... Good Luck!!
It appears SOMEBODY didn't provide me all the information needed to run the contest this week. I'm trying to get the files from him, but he MAY be a little preoccupied. If I don't hear back, I'll find another way of getting a pick sheet loaded.
I know Somebody Didn't. His cousin is It Wasn't Me.Quote:

I heard he took her to some cabin in the moutains, place doesn't even have cable (it does have a dvd player though:banana:).
Basically wanted to make sure there was no place to go & nothing to see. Just a full week of "adult activities"!
He got married? I thought it was some Jangles training for the Season.
Yes -
He had a GREAT looking cake...
I will try to post a picture tomorrow -
Ah heck, he's not here. He can't defend himself. Should we really pick on him?Quote:

You've got the wrong USC playing Oregon.
South Carolina plays the Citadel.
thank you sir. Corrected.
Report package is updated. I'm working on the new picksheet right now, so it is NOT ready yet.
Ok guys, I have posted the new pick-sheet. I have left the deadline as Saturday at noon, but there are 2 Friday games. If you pick anytime after the kickoff of the Friday games, then those picks will be automatic losses. I didn't want to put the Friday match-ups in this pick-sheet, but the match-ups are too interesting (and I couldn't find any other Saturday match-ups that looked good).
http://www.latechbbb.com/contests/pickem 2011/home.html
Report package is uploaded and ready for viewing... I think I know which week will get dropped for me.... :icon_roll:
Working on the new picksheet right now, so it will be up soon.
We good... pick your games. FINAL week.
Lowest score will drop AFTER this week, so that top sheet can change pretty quickly.
Bah, I never filled out my picks for this past weekend because I never saw the updated pick-sheet. I started the season with out making picks, and I ended the season with out making picks...Oh well, on to the Bowl-Pick-em...
FINAL results are now posted...
Congrats Johnny "finally back home" Lightnin'. That one week drop really helped you out.
Mildawg seems to always be in the top 3 in these contests was edged out. Still a great season.
And T_Won rounds out the top 3 as the only guys to get over 200 points for the season.
Great job guys.
8th is my highest yet! I'm gunning for top 3 next season!
Wow, I was at 200 points to begin the week (next closest person was at 192), should have scored 15 points with my picks for the last week, but only ended with 204... that dropping my "bad week" really killed me. Oh well, there's always next year... Thanks for putting this on each season, and congrats to JL.
Just out of curiosity, is there any way of finding out what the scores would have been without dropping the lowest week's score?
I'd say 215
:D
Sweet. My first time playing and I tie for 8th. Not too shabby. :)
Woooo! I'm #26!....:P
Congrats, Johnny!
Ha-ha. I was just wondering if that's how the scoring worked.Quote:

Doc...can you change my label under my user name to display my sweet, sweet victory?
not doing one this season?
undetermined at this point. Believe me, if it gets going, you'll know.
