Brrly1 1,146 #1 Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) Well guys I am back or at least this particular post is. Well its been a long eight months or so without college ball so its now time again to play ball. As we all know we need to keep this as clean, everyone here already knows this but reminders don't hurt. Bashing is to be Expected, but Not Personal!!!!! No Exceptions!!!!! You do Any Harm towards another person and you will be Removed (Yes, even me!!!!) <-- placed in Red by Admin's and Moderators. We are kind of hoping that we will have some guys that will stay in every week so they have the bragging rights for a year. There will be a weekly bragger but thats good for only a week. Hopefully some of you all will join the challenge for the season. I guess other than the picks need to be made by midnite the night before the first game of the week. Steveasaurus will post the games for us and will post starting time for the first game of the week. Anyone can join in. This is a fun thread, expected to remain that way!!! Thanks again, oh wait I almost forgot!!! Go Hawkeyes!!! Edited August 17, 2014 by Brrly1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimD 3,345 #11 Posted August 21, 2014 It would be nice if everyone could follow along with the format for posting that Steve requested to make it easier for him to sort it all out. Scrolling is not your friend when doing this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brrly1 1,146 #12 Posted August 21, 2014 Ok, I've decided. We are going to make this easy for the Big guy! Don't think it can get any easier, drum roll please! Big Ten all the way thru! Alrighty then It's going to be a Great week, next week. As always, Go Hawkeyes!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMCIII 838 #13 Posted August 21, 2014 I was just following his format on how the games were listed. Monkey see, monkey doo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimD 3,345 #14 Posted August 21, 2014 The list in his first post is the schedule for the week. Makes sense to post it as a list as it came from a list. It also helps to read the entire post. Here is the part you missed.. If you just type the names of the teams you think will win like...Minnesota, Rutgers, Michigan St....etc in order that they are shown, that will help greatly. Also, make sure you picked them all...14 games the first weekend. Thanks Remember to have your picks in before the 1st game next Thursday...Aug. 28. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jwl 75 #15 Posted August 22, 2014 There is really only one team..........if you have Facebook, you can see a video of their trucks. I don't know how to get just the vid to post here. Look up Tantara Transportation Corp and see them for yourself. ...........Go Hawks and the haulers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't follow sports much, to many tractor and buckskinner things to do here. I'll let you guys play the big ten games and ill just root for the hawks 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brrly1 1,146 #18 Posted August 25, 2014 Duke, where are you hiding? I bet your having a rough time with the picks aren't you? That Appl. State games got you all up in arms and you just don't know what to do. You've got my number call me and I'll walk you thru it. Call The Dino he's always open for Advice. Where are you at? You've only got three more days. What's the cutoff time Steve 6pm Thursday evening? All of you other guys jump in here also, I think everyone that plays has a pretty good time. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimD 3,345 #21 Posted August 26, 2014 Wow Rob, you probably could have edited your picks post to the requested format in the time it took you to post your latest chucklefest. But hey, why bother, you don't have to sort it all out after the games are played. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
