For the record, I like "Flapjaw" better than "Kays"

I remember that punch Blount threw on the Boise kid when he was at Oregon. And now Blount plays for the Patriots. And they will punch Goober right out of the playoffs.

I can't wait to dominate this contest. Head to head, me vs. you. I will consider any stakes you care to propose, as long as the bet does not involve raccoons or any of my body parts. Or drinking anything with "Calvert" in the name. Coast is going with the shooting fish in a barrel angle.

Hawger, I am fundamentally a guy who goes on risk/reward, probabilities and odds. Call it what you want, but when a guy with a 45% history of picking winners brags he is going to win a picks contest, I would be a fool not to challenge that. Hell, I figure I only need to pick 46% winners to beat him. If I go through the bowl season picking less than 46% winners, I not only deserve to lose to him, but I should take up a new hobby. Maybe walking into traffic.
Famous last words. Now watch me lose my ass, pick below 45% and lose to him. That's ok. I like pie. And I have eaten more than my share of humble pie over the years.

I need some sort of handicap here (other than my height). You know like in bowling when you suck they give you so many points to partially make up for the suckness? I don't remember what that's called, but I need it. To go up against Coast in his element is completely unfair otherwise. It would be like me challenging the Coaster to a raccoon feeding contest. Anywho, I'm sure we can work something out.

I believe one of the competitors has mistakenly listed his Air Force play.

Bowling Green +3 Western Michigan +1.5 Utah-3 UTEP +10 Rajin Cajuns+1
I am confused by this spreadsheet. Who is the favorite? you have home and away...what the hell does that mean if they are nuetral. Does home mean favorite?

You must make a pick against the spread for every bowl game. If you do not make a pick I'll give you the "home" team. Winner receives a $50 dollars. If the winner is "Underdog" or "Favorite" I'll donate the money to our next board outing fund.
Picks must be submitted before kickoff of the game. I will update the lines on the 17th, 24th and 31st and Jan 11th to account for line movements. The spread reflects the line for the "home" team

Who is the favorite? you have home and away...what the hell does that mean if they are nuetral. Does home mean favorite? Like take the Air Force/Western Michigan game for instance. Western Michigan is the "Home" team and the number is 1.5. And since the spread reflects the line for the "home" team, that means Western Michigan is "getting" 1.5 or in other words, +1.5. Obviously you seem to understand the rules unlike some competitors.

I believe one of the competitors has mistakenly listed his Air Force play. The line flipped from when I posted as of 17th. I would like to post up-to-date lines but the spreadsheet is on my work comp.

I would have though Coast would have a little more respect for San Diego after the number it did on him.
