Hey Guys (and Gals),
I was just wondering if any would be interested if I were to create a 11W group for picking weekly games. I'd be willing to put a little time into it and give weekly results (best movers, ballsiest calls, dumbest calls, etc...) for a post each week.
I took a look at both Yahoo and ESPN's sites and either one is fine, although Yahoo requires more game picks. Yahoo gives a little more flexibility on picks (straight-up, confidence, vs. spread) while ESPN is just confidence. One difference if people would prefer Yahoo (there'd be no surprise there), they are including games for Thursday and Friday so we'd need it set up by then. I could also probably do my own spreadsheet if we wanted to do some other scoring system and that way the Buckeye game would always be a pick.
Just a thought, I can't really guarantee a prize or anything. Just some good ole braggin' rights. If people are interested, let me know in the comments and what type of system you think would work best.
***EDIT***
Alright here's the group, I apologize in advance for the terrible, terrible pun.
Group: 18882
Password: Brotastic
It's set up so that all Big Ten and other notable games are picked. I have it set up as straight picks. If there's a movement for confidence or spread, I would be fine with that.
Hopefully, we can get a bunch of people to join and have a little fun with it.

I'd be up for it, slight preference for yahoo
Yeah, I'd be down. Anything is good for me. I was gonna get in ESPN's anyway, but obviously I know that won't be popular around here.

I would be down for Yahoo. Does CBS have a Pick-Em?
-The Aristocrats!
I would also be up for it. Yahoo preferably.
Alright guys , we're all good to go for Yahoo. Let's try and get a sizeable group going. It is set up so that that you can pick up until the time of the game, so if people want to join before Saturday that should be fine. Although for some reason the Wisconsin game is not included so it looks like it starts Friday.
Im in... good idea silverbullets...
I would be on board for adding confidence..
Just selected my picks. Is there any way we can get this on the 11W main page so that more people will join?
Just joined the group. Looking forward to it!
Just a quick reminder to everyone that the first game for picks is tonight for the Mizzou/ASU game. I'll give a 2-week recap on Sunday or Monday on how we're all doing.
Thank you for bumping this.
