Title: Week 3 Pick 'em Contest
Post by: SUPERCOACH on September 09, 2012, 08:58:16 PM
Now taking nominations for games.

Here are some suggestions:

ULM @ Auburn (-16)
Florida @ Tennessee (-2.5)
USC (-10) @ Stanford
Notre Dame @ Michigan State (-3.5)
Texas (-10.5) @ Ole Miss

I didn't see a line on Alabama @ Arkansas.  I guess this is because of the injury situation.

I believe the TCU line is 21 points. TCU -21

The others look right.

FSU vs Wake could be a good one.

usc/Stanford game could get  interesting...

Boy, what a bunch of loser games this week (generally).

I think you guys suggested all of the ones that might be interesting.  :dunno:


Title: Re: Week 3 Pick 'em Contest
Post by: Marshal Dillon on September 10, 2012, 11:43:09 AM
usc/Stanford game could get  interesting...


I think there are 4 compelling games:

Alabama/Arkansas: Does Arky QB play and can they rebound from such a disaster as La-Monroe game?

Auburn/La-Monroe: Is ULM for real and can Aubie pass defense handle ULM QB who had such great numbers against Hawgs?

USC/Standford: Are either of these teams for real, especially Stanford?

Arizona State/Missouri: Which of these teams are for real?

Definitely, but it might be good to wait until after they play the week 3 games.  You know, just to see who wins and all.  Otherwise we might vote for somebody that gets clobbered.

It must be plum embarrassing--being the daughter of a message board weatherman (Big Al Roker). Particularly after he predicted "the perfect storm" for the WKU game.

I just updated the Pick 'em system.  There is a new link on the main menu bar, and tons of other cool stuff, mostly behind the scenes.  For example, I have a robot running on the server that automatically monitors the web for game updates and updates the score and time remaining for each game.  It also updates the leader board as each game finishes.

I will go into more details later, right now I am watching Auburn lose.  :lol:

WALL-E is the robot I have been talking about.  I figure if the spammers can have an army of robots doing evil things I should build an army of robots doing useful things.  I have big plans for him.

The next thing I will probably have him do is scour the news outlets and post links to articles that have certain keywords, like "Auburn NCAA investigation", "Auburn bagman", etc.

Welcome to our forum, WALL-E. I would like to apologize for everyone calling you robotic, for I think you'll find this site friendly and non-confrontational.

I'm hoping to double your salary AND make you work less.

Of course WALL-E could become the worst spammer we've ever had.  If he posts just one link about Louis Vuitton I am sending him to the trash heap.
