    Hey Corey,

    Talk to that Dad of yours and get him into the contest. I sent him and Diane a personal invitation so they have the info needed.

    I will give it a run Tom. He really is crazy busy with teaching, grading etc right now...but alas, I will give it a go.

    Didn't want you to think I forgot, I have all my Dad's pics on a separate hard drive. I've been archiving them. As soon as I get a chance to hook it up to my laptop I'll upload a good mugshot for you guys.

    Attention PJMIII. You have a private e-mail (look at the very top of this page) concerning the information on how to sign up. If you are already signed up... never mind.

    "Thanks for the secret info" meant 'Thanks in advance for the secret info'. My message box is empty. :(

    Oops! I did send a personal invitation from the site. Did you not get that? I sent it to both you and GatorDoc.

    I just went to the site to see GatorDoc already registered. Maybe he is as scared of your abilities as the rest of us and deleted your invitation! :shock: :wink:

    I saw that GatorDoc had a message and he forwarded it to me. That message came through, but no sign of the original in the inbox or spam/junk folders. Odd ... must have been a victim of the cyber-gods.

    Got my Skybox PM as a back-up too, thanks!

    OK Wendy... get in the contest! :wink: You now have it in PM, and I sent a second invitation. This time, the invitation was sent to both variants of your e-mail address. 8)

    29 people so far in the contest. 10 of them have not made picks. Do not miss the deadline!!!

    Just wanted to let everyone know that this year's contest was set up with the exact same options as last year. The main option that took a few by surprise last year was the "Drop the lowest score" option. This helps the ones that have to miss a week for any reason. Remember, however, there may be a week when we have very few games. If you don't miss a week, you get to drop that week with few games. If you do miss, a week, you don't have the option of dropping that week with few games and therefore, low score.

    Holy Moly! I've been staring at my fantasy team so much (still not figuring anything out!) I totally forgot about the pick'em!

    I'll get mine done when I get home this afternoon.

    Thanks for the reminder Tom!

    I'm in! I'm in!

    Well, your sending another batch of messages explains why I had so many in my spam folder this morning. I just thought they got stuck a couple days in the filter or something. Anyway, all's well that ends well!

    Thanks!

    I think we have a record. We have 31 people signed up for the contest. Six have not started their picks and one is partially finished with his picks. We still have a little over 42 hours to get the picks in.

    Members,

    If you made your picks before the lines were available, they may have been deleted when the lines were posted. Mine were!!!!! Go in and make sure that your picks are made. My confidence points were still there but the picks were not.

    I want to win the Andy fair and square!


    Go check your Picks!!!

    Two upsets so far... ECU beat Virginia Tech and Bowling Green State beat Pitt. Only one person picked ECU and only one person picked Bowling Green. That was the same person for both. Bama-bobear is beginning to look like a college football genius. :shock:
