1201 S. Main - Yahoo Pick Em - WE ARE LIVE!
Screw it, we are doing it live. Copying and pasting last years instructions because I'm a lazy millennial.
A few reminders.
-Yahoo caps the league at 100 players. (I have no control over this.)
-I will remove you from the league if the first picks of the year haven't been made 24 before the first game kicks to make room for eager participants. I started doing this in an effort to get 100 pickers actually making picks and not just signing up and forgetting about it. It has worked well.
-I will TRY to post reminders to get your picks in on the board with timeline reminders as we approach kickoff. No promises.
-Your picks will be made against the spread and you will need to assign confidence points to your picks. Confidence point totals will determine the winner of the league.

I'm ready to incorrectly pick every game again.
August 30th, 2023 at 11:29 AM ^
I feel like I always take a drubbing.
August 30th, 2023 at 2:37 PM ^
Speaking of drubbing, I can't seem to find an NFL Fantasy Football league with openings as I waited too long.
Sigh. Guess I won't be able to pick all Lions. LOL

for the maryland game, it says "off"... no spread? so you get it straight up?
August 30th, 2023 at 10:19 AM ^
Pretty sure if the game still says Off (0) under the Final column that means it's straight up aka a freebie.
August 30th, 2023 at 10:22 AM ^
Yeah I think that means the spread isn't available on the books because it'll likely be a massive blowout. Therefore, it turns into a pick the winner type of deal.

Odds are typically not set for FBS vs FCS teams. Sometimes they are and that's usually by some off-shore degenerates in the Mekong Delta. Ditty mao!

Damn, somebody picked the name "The Driving Crooner" before I did. Interesting that they allow two people to have the same name, but I will change mine.
August 30th, 2023 at 10:43 AM ^
You guys are shirt brothers!
August 30th, 2023 at 10:44 AM ^
Can I suggest "Here for the Zipline"?
August 30th, 2023 at 10:47 AM ^
I actually like club haunted house more than I like club aqua for my team name.
August 30th, 2023 at 11:28 AM ^
So, do we have to look again tomorrow to see if a spread appears for that game?
August 30th, 2023 at 11:51 AM ^
Probably worth checking up until the game starts. Each game locks once there is 5 mins until kickoff
August 30th, 2023 at 1:14 PM ^
thanks for doing this, prison mike, i'm in!
HOWEVA. i obviously have reading comprehension issues, and skipped over the entire "confidence point" paragraph in your post. i've done those in the past, and they're frankly more work than i really want to expend. SO, if you'd like to kick me out, so a more-ambitious person can join, feel free. if that can't happen, i promise i'll try to stick with it.
thanks again for doing it, and my apologies for being a pain in the butt.

I am confident that I will get every Iowa and Iowa State pick correct.
August 30th, 2023 at 3:19 PM ^
Group is full - bummer
August 30th, 2023 at 7:11 PM ^
Looks like I missed out too. Can you guys just assume I won? Thx
August 30th, 2023 at 9:11 PM ^
Damn. Group full
