Are You Ready For Some Football?

I'm just thinking for the fun of it how about a football contest? Politics sometimes gets too boring. I thought if we could have a weekly contest and whoever gets the most right picks becomes the "Pigskin Prognosticator Poobah" (PPP) for the Week. The teams are teams we have a connection to, in other words, you or your spouse or kids or in-laws attended/graduated, or you make a significant financial donation to each year. In order to participate you have to pick all the teams (No point spreads involved, straight W/L). Oh, the team you submit must actually play eleven man football. It should be neat to see how many schools we can get represented.

I will publish the games for the week by Wednesday Night, you have to make your picks by Thursday (some play on Thursday and Friday) by 5:oo p.m. CDT. These can be Division 1, 1-A, etc. however many divisions there are. Let's not do Junior Colleges, unless you insist. Depends on how many schools we can get. Winners will be announced on Sunday.

I'll start with the teams I have or have had a connection to and we can see how many we get.

Ole Miss
Miss. State
University of Southern Mississippi
Delta State
University of Oklahoma
Auburn University
University of Arkansas
UCLA

It should be fun, you win absolutely nothing (Red Dog is cheap!) but everyone must honor you for a week for your prognosticating skills.

What do ya think?

Pass the word on to your pals if you like, the more the merrier. You must have a "handle" to participate. "Anonymous" is automatically ineligible and "PPP" is not available, it's an honor.

Shhh! Don't tell anyone. We don't want to influence the odds.

I know, it's a sneaky way to get people to read the blog, but face it, I'm just another "media whore."

Millsaps is in. I had significant grad hrs. at OU and a son that got his Masters at UCLA. Any connection you can make to a family member would work.
