Hell it's never to early to take sign-ups! A game for football fans to see who the best "picker" is. Laughing

First game of the NFL season is September 11th, I believe.
College varies.

This isn't for money, unless you guys want to put in $1-2 in a paypal account for the entire season and the winner at the end takes it all? If you want to sign-up let me know! There are two ways to send in your picks: Sign-up for the ESPN Pigskin Pick-em and send me the name of your entry, or just e-mail me your picks. I will participate too so when the time comes I'll post my entry name as well. Whether people want to put in the $1-2 or not everyone can participate, but only the ones that paid could win the prize pool if there is one.

Participating in these has gotten me involved in every game last year. It's a fun time...I never thought I would enjoy watching the Packers beat anyone Laughing

.

(I know it's like 2 months early, but we've pretty much all seen the people asking to sign-up for the NES Challenge late.) Cut-offs WILL be enforcd this time.

Just a fun thought.

I'm in. You might want to make a group on ESPN and then have us sign up for it. That way it's a little more organized.

Very true, I still have 2 months before everything starts so I'll have it all organized a little better. Just want to see if there is any interest in it. Shit I'll do it me vs. you I dont give shit! Laughing

If you do it for college instead, I'm in. I can't get interested in the NFL.

Obviously, you would have to leave a lot of games out of the Pick-em. Maybe games involving the top 10 or 15 teams? Well, you probably won't make it college anyway, just a suggestion.

We can do college as well, I'm avid to both levels. Same thing on ESPN I'll set-up a group when it comes time and if need be we'll go heads up. I just love me some football is all.

I'm in for both college and pro.

Count me in for the NFL.

For college, are we picking winners, or do we have to pick the spread?

Good question, are we pikcing straight up or against the spread?

And count me in for the NFL...I think I actually have an ESPN account from last year.

Posted: Jul 07 2008 01:31 pm

I will do both. I always like doing Pick'ems.

I do the College Pick 'Em on Yahoo, but I hate picking against the spread.

I'll go in on the NFL.

No point spread unless a vast majority wants to do the points. I always perfer the straight up winner, but thats me.

I agree. Straight up winner is best.

Another fun one to sign-up for is the eliminator challenge.
You pick 1 NFL team each week, but you can't pick the same team twice. If the team you pick wins you move on to the next week. It's a fun game. Plus if any of us does good enough you win money from ESPN!

Posted: Jul 11 2008 10:58 pm

Damn, I didn't even realize there was a sports forum created until now. Anyway, count me in for NFL.

Anyone that's going to compete, the NCAA College Pick'em is up. Just use your username as the Entry Name. Group link is below.

"This message is from D.McCallister who is challenging you to play College Pick'em on ESPN.com.

This game challenges you to select the winner of 10 selected games for 13 weeks during the NCAA football season using a confidence scoring system. You receive the amount of confidence points you assigned to each game, but only if you correctly selected the winning team. Best of all, it's FREE to play.

Douche, I'm not sure what happened, but I signed up, but my user name is Wyatt. Must've come from the account I already had on ESPN.com.

P.S. Why does the spell check red-underline "must've"? That's a valid contraction!

it's dominating ESPN, but we don't have to let that played out story dominate our forum, user. Everything relating to that has already been discussed.
