Anybody doing it this year? Yes, I'm hoping someone else will set it up.

I'll try to get it done tomorrow.

-Jason

[YmoBeThere]

I'm in if possible. Trying to make up for a lackluster performance last year.

[Bostondevil]

-Jason

Thanks Jason!

[JasonEvans]

Ok, I did it.

Our picks will not start in week one, as the NFL shocked me by starting last night. Doh!!

We will start with week two giving all you slackers plenty of time to sign up. The group can handle up to 50 members, so sign up now before it fills up.

The group is called "Coach Cut will lead us" and is group number 25610. The password to gain entry is "DBR". The grouyp can be found here (http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/survival/25610).

Sign up early! And if you sign up, don't forget to play. I hate it when 20 people get knocked out because they made no picks in week #1.

-Jason "should I also do a picking contest where you weight your picks or something like that?" Evans

[2535Miles]

I signed up late. Looks like it's only JasonEvans and I so far.

[JasonEvans]

When you sign up, put a note in here so we will know who you are.

For example, I am "Jason's Picks of Doom." It is sorta easy to figure out that those picks are being made by me, Jason.

Similarly, 2535 miles signed up as "1818 miles."

However, someone has signed up as "PatsRule." I have no idea who that person is.

--Jason "the most frequent posters on this board are required by law to sign up or face endless ridicule for being chicken" Evans

[2535Miles]

My guess goes to Bostondevil. I shall mail a treat to whomever can guess the location that is 1818Miles from 2535Miles. :D

[Lavabe]

LavabeFightClub here.;)

You're going down, Jason... but only AFTER I'm knocked out.:o

Ymo's going to win this thing.:)

[Bostondevil]

My guess goes to Bostondevil. I shall mail a treat to whomever can guess the location that is 1818Miles from 2535Miles. :D

Texas Stadium?

PatsRule! Yes, that's me, sorry Jason.

And let me just add, you boys are all going down.

[2535Miles]

Texas Stadium?
Nada. :D

[Bostondevil]

Do I get another guess? Reunion Arena, site of Duke's first Final Four under Coach K? Or the one in Minneapolis? Or the one in Indianapolis? Am I on the right track? Do you not want to give it away so that someone else can take a guess?

You are on the wrong track my dear Bd. I have no favorites to win. Wanna hint?

[Bostondevil]

Not yet. I'm feeling democratic today, or maybe it's socialistic, and I think I should let the rest of the crowd take a shot first.

[YmoBeThere]

I'm YBT. Gee, I wonder where that came from?

[wilson]

I just signed up. I'm the Cleveland Steamers, because I like steamships.

[JasonEvans]

Yeah, riiiight.

--Jason "a piece of me is surprised Yahoo will let you use that as a name" Evans

[sue71]

So how does this thing work?

[YmoBeThere]

You select a team you think will win each week. The one who lasts the longest(i.e. picks a winner) wins. No point spreads, adjusted payouts, nothing...

Can you, or can you not, choose a team more than once in the season?
Thanks,
Lavabe

You can only chose a team once, so it is not like you can take the Colts, Chargers, and Pats 3 or 4 times each.

It sounds easy but is surprisingly hard to last more than about 5 or 6 weeks. There always seems to be one or two upsets each week that knock a few folks out.

-Jason "the participation by this board is just embarrassing!" Evans

[YmoBeThere]

How many were there last year? We are up to 11 now...

Beats the participation from the EK Forum.

Why not try the PPB?
Cheers,
Lavabe

[YmoBeThere]

I posted a few times today on the PPB. Does that make me one of them?

[JasonEvans]

Lame-- the community effort here is lame!!

EarlJam, BillyBreen, Throatybeard, and others... I am calling you out!!

-Jason "we start making picks this weekend" Evans

[CameronBornAndBred]

After being threatened with bodily harm by J.E., I signed up.

I'll do it too!!

Don't tempt me.

-Jason "if you read this thread and are not signed up, then you suck!!" Evans

[Lavabe]

-Jason "if you read this thread and are not signed up, then you suck!!" Evans

Don't forget that 'breen is in hiding; we suspect that EJam has kidnapped him yet again.

I believe EarlJam has suffered a hangover after yesterday's HUGE Failcons win over ... the Lions.

Cheers,
Lavabe

[mph]

OK Jason,

You bullied me into playing.

[devildeac]

Bully. I'm in. I think. Too many day-amm places to navigate.

[EarlJam]

I just signed up. I'm the Cleveland Steamers, because I like steamships.

That's a "crappy" team name.

-EJ

Just don't start complaining when EarlJam's Knights of Nerf start kicking tail!

Jason, thanks for setting this up!

-EarlJam, The White Knight

[sue71]

After being threatened with bodily harm by J.E., I signed up.

I was threatened with bodily harm too... (what does that say about Mr. Evans that he'd hurt a female?)... yet I'd already signed up. :eek:

[EarlJam]

Your team name should be, "Restraining Order on Evans." :)

[Turk]

I'm in as the LittleGobblers. We're up to 18.

[Lavabe]

Just to be clear, Jason:
How many OTB'ers are in this?
How many PPB'ers are in this?
How many EK'ers are in this?

I think the OTB will win this one, easily.
Cheers,
Lavabe

I refuse to submit to your attempt to force me to choose between being a PPB'er and an OTB'er!:)

[DukieInKansas]

I responded to the threat. Since it is late and I have no imagination tonight, I am identified as DukieInKansas. :D

In a twisted way, I was flattered to be threatened. (I think I need more sleep.)

I'll try not to feel slighted here. ;)

I have caved to the peer pressure and signed up too.
