yes indeed sports fans.... it's that time of the year again.... the first week's games pretty much suck with the exception of two of them.... hopefully everyone that played last year is in here and will return to participate

same rules as last year...based on your confidence in your picks ranked 1-10 ... i think i can set it up to toss out your one lone score for the season, though i admit, my memory may be hazy on that one ... if you are interested in adding that option let me know and i'll see if i can make it happen

be sure to invite anyone you know that played last year to this year's guessfest, in case they are not part of this group already

any questions, feel free to ask... you know where i am

How 'bout them DAWGS!!!!1!

I'm in, and I invited two good buddies to join in the fun. I hope they do. One is a childhood friend who is just as much a Dawg as I am; the other (bless him), for reasons completely unfathomable to me, roots for Overrated State.

But fs, can you please confirm for me that the password has changed? It's [the usual]2023? If so, I'll have to let my buddies know. ESPN didn't ask me for the password, just if I wanted to join the group again this year. I said "yes," and I was in.

[faithfulservant]

it has changed to what you mentioned... probably didn't ask you for the pw because you were a member last year... the thing is i had to create a new group... couldn't remember the name of the last group and i lost all my contacts and connections when i changed computers, so when espn notified me, i didn't get it .... did you get one to join the same group this year?

[faithfulservant]

uh, mrs timmy, the only two participants so far are myself and deacon arky... so you are not "in"

[Mrs. Timmy]

Probably some Communist plot engineered by the folks who thought it'd be a good ideal to cut David Pollock. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I blame the pickle....

We need a poll!

[Mrs. Timmy]

i don't know if lelesim will be recuperated enough to join us this year.... i'm having a hard time remembering who all the "regulars" are... of course, we can't count on zoom this year and gherkin and the cajun aggie usually only join us for the grand wazooship of bowl games,,, i know brother ed said he was interested... obviously peetem will be in (right????)

[ThomisticCajunAggie]

I signed up! Now let's see if I can remember to do it every week this season!

Also:

GEAUX CAJUNS!
GIG 'EM, AGGIES!
GO BLUE!

[faithfulservant]

i could always send you a msg to remind you

[Mrs. Timmy]

Got my picks in this afternoon. Yay to college football, and hallelujah to the SEC FINALLY being relieved of Gary Danielson!

[faithfulservant]

we've got one more person coming in.... as long as he is able to deal with it considering he had major back surgery on wednesday.... which reminds me, if any of you have friends you would like to invite, please do so.... the more , the merrier i'd say

i'd still love to see lelesim back but i'm not sure i know how to get hold of her to see if she is able.... anyone?

[Riverboat]

I'll go out on a limb here and predict my beloved Houston Cougars will not be in the top 25 all season long.

[Mrs. Timmy]

Man, what a game last night! Utah played more like a Mountain West team than a PAC-12 team, and still managed to take Flori-duh to the woodshed!

The swamp lizards were so inept, they even gave up a touchdown to the Utes by allowing two defenders with the same jersey number on the field on a critical 3rd-and-long play.

Seeing Spurrier looking like this was worth the price of admission.

[faithfulservant]

oh my.... top 10 ranked fsu takes it to a higher ranked sec team.... hard.... i guess home field advantage is a thing huh?

and dang... i wouldn't have been rooting as hard for the buffs to upset the horny toads had i remembered i had picked the toads as my 10 point pick
