RE: ESPN Pickem
I’ll do it… although it will be yet another year of LAsandy besting me.

This group is still active…
http://games.espn.go.com/college-footbal...oupID=2071

Edit: The old password “board regs” doesn’t work.

outofyourmind used to use Boomer Sooner as a password, but in my
attempts of using variations of that, I still can’t access that group.

Perhaps we should create our own.

His ESPN account seems to indicate at Hoopla.

I wish I knew the hoopla ESPN Pickem group password.
I wouldn’t mind playing in the same group with those guys.

I have an account at Hoopla. Funny I was banned under QuestionSocratic, so I had to change my moniker. I rarely ever go there but they do have a better board for CFB.

Now I understand why few decided to participate. They knew they would get crushed by my psychic powers. Current rankings:

CSNbbs group #1
Sports Hoopla group #1

Overall ESPN 2.5 million participants #1042 (99.6 percentile)

RE: ESPN Pickem
Yes, I have taken note of your success.

In my defense, I use the ESPN Pickem in conjunction with
Murphy’s Law in order to produce a more desirable result.

Thus I selected UGA (ten confidence points) to defeat South Carolina.
This, of course forces the pickem gods (that have always hated me) to make Georgia lose.

Although my Pickem is ruined, my overall quality of life
(being obnoxious dawg fan free) is much more satisfying.

Can't do Hoopla man. A lot of good guys went over there, but so did all the bad ones.

The mods at Hoopla bounced me on the board as QuestionSocratic (they had a bias against ESPN refugees), so I had to come up with a new name (WilliamWallace). But I was still able to get in their Pickem as QS because I was on last year.

The trolls we are getting here are from Hoopla. That forum also has no qualms about allowing people to post your personal information.

I had Georgia at 1 point.

Georgia has always been my favorite SEC team.

I'll always use 10 on LSU if they're in the 10 picks, and always use the highest amount for them in the Bowl Pickem because they're my favorite.

One of my problems with Pickem is that I pick based upon what I objectively think is likely to happen. Many times that goes against the team I hope wins. Then when it gets close, I get conflicted to the point that I swear I'll never pick against my favorite teams again...at least until next week. For example, I took Va Tech last week (didn't everyone?) but in the end, I was pulling for the Pirates to pull off the upset.
