Ha, fbaezer!
This year, prior to the start of the first games, I will name "The Deviant of the Week." (It iis not as nasty as it sounds; in the dictionary that I use the word is simply applied to being away from the norm). But it is catchy, yes?
Anyway, I am still refining this, but basically it works like so. Of the six predictions posted so far, 5 of us chose Minnesota over Tampa Bay. Region Philbus chose Tampa Bay. So he gets 5 points (6-1) for being away from the consensus.
At this point, johnboy is the clear idiot deviant, with a point total of 11, followed by ray at 6 and Region at 5. Totally meaningless drivel, but something to talk about to keep this thread near the top of the list. Nagging begins tomorrow.
ok so i know this is more pro than college...but did anyone see texas' score? 60-3. of course i can't even remember who they played but that is totally besides the point. this weekend is Ohio State, so its a big one for us!!! GO HORNS GO!!!!!!!!!!!
Last nights Miami FSU game was a real defensive struggle, but I think it's gonna drop both teams in the polls.
i saw about the first half of that and was not impressed with either offense. and someone on espn actually picked miami to play in the nat'l champ game with USC. doubt that. of course i want it to be texas, however we always blow it some where along the line. i have hope, but i am not holding my breath. (however, the avatar i have now is what they do to the tower when we win a national championship).
i must say i was surprised by ND. they had a good game.
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!? 48 hours until the start of the NFL season. I have sent pms to a few folks who expressed an interest in playing, including Child of the Light who declared "I'm good at this."
I did't send pms to Pdiddle, panzade or occumbill. I presume, for the moment, that they will come on their own accord.
New players are more then welcome. All yall have to do is post the names of the winning teams in this weekend's NFL games (which this week starts Thursday night and ends Monday night) Knowledge of NFL football is not necessary.
vikings don't have a chance!
