RedScare Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) OK, it's that time. College football is here, and it is time for all Haifers who fancy themselves football fans...and those who don't...to test their skills. The group has been created on ESPN, and is accessible here...http://games.espn.go...em/en/frontpageThe group name is: HAIF 2012The password is: HaifThis is a locked group, so only Haifers will be in it. However, friends are welcome. They only need the group name and password. It is just like last year, where confidence points are awarded depending on how sure you are of your picks. As usual, we appreciate some form of your HAIF name, so we know who we are dealing with. And, smack talk, insults, banter, and other comments frowned upon in other topics are welcome here. After all, it isn't sports if you aren't smacking down your opponent.Good luck on 2nd place!The first round of games begins Saturday, September 1, so try to sign up and pick by Friday.

brijonmang Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Go ahead and mail me my 'participation ribbon' ... I'm in.Woohoo! Me too. At least it should remain fairly close at first while the big schools play a large quantity of cupcakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Where's sowanome? I went to all that work to set up the game, and she's nowhere to be found. Maybe she evacuated Chicago in anticipation of Hurricane Isaac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I saw this last year too late, and of course, it's blocked at the office *grumbles*. I can't be trusted to remember to do this at home. :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedScare Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Still 2 more days to sign up to kick my butt! It is painless and free. Follow the link in the first post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijonmang Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 OK made my picks...really don't feel like I know what to expect with most teams so it should put me on a nice low number to start the year! Just like I predicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highway6 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Reminder... We need to know what haifers to praise for bold picks and rag on for dumb picks.... So either your team name or member name needs to reference your haify handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pragmatist Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Heh, I just updated mine to show my HAIF user name. My friend is playing along as "thisheregiraffe20." I look forward to forgetting to submit entries this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highway6 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 It appears we are picking strait up and not with the spread. Is this what we want? Is it even an option? Is it too late to change if the majority of the group wants it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 This is the only way I am aware of. The confidence rating is a form of a spread in that you get more points for a higher rated pick, and lose more points if you pick wrong.

sowanome Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I'm guessing that Penn State is officially no longer a D-1 program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijonmang Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 This is a friendly reminder to get your picks in before game action tomorrow! Don't want any people giving some excuse as to why they did so poorly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pragmatist Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 This week seems a little tougher to choose than last week. It looks like brijonmang is taking charge of the game right now. Anyway, this is an early-week reminder. Good luck with the picks this week, everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sowanome Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 What's going on for our group in 2013? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijonmang Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Good question. Redscare has always run this. I'm in to keep the group alive again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Funny y'all brought this up. I was just thinking about setting it up. It is now ready.
