NCAA challenge...

Ok, so as many of you know... this 'NCAA football' starts in a monthish.... so lets have a little friendly wager, shall we? Everyone's got a favorite team that they just know will be #1, so put your money... er, cigars... where yor mouth is; but dont smoke em just yet! ok heres the deal, i was thinking everyone who wants to participate has to do the following:

-Everyone pick their team who they think will be ranked #1 at the end of the season.
-The person who's team is ranked highest BEFORE THE BOWL GAMES wins.
-The exception: if, in any of the bowls, the person whos team was ranked highest at the end of the season's team is playing ANY of the other teams picked, the team that wins that bowl is considered the highest ranked... even if its #3 playing #10 and #10 wins....
-Prizes:
-Everyone participating agrees to send out 3 sticks ($7+) at the end of the season to whoever has the highest ranked team.
-Everyone participating agrees to display a sig line (text or image) of the winners choosing displaying support for the winners team... reguardless of how humiliating said sig line is... for a time period of 3 months. (stole this idea from chris)...

rules:
-All picks must be in before the kickoff of the first NCAA game... i'll post is later when i look that up.
-Participation is limited the same way the PIF is, 100 posts or having a senior member to vouch for ya.
-No repeat picks.
-one pick per person
-wait for the winner to be declared here before sending prize to the winner, if we have another championship game like last year, there may need to be a vote.
-All disputes, should there be any, will be settled with a democratic vote from the participants.
-Not displaying the winner's choosen sig line will be considered as bad as not sending out your end of the sticks.
-keep this civil
-winner ranks will be determined by the BCS poll at the end, but the AP is a good reference for the first part of the season.

i think thats it... just post your team pick...

any questions or suggestions?

I'm definitely in.

My pick: Mr. J.D. Booty and the UCS Trojans.

And just so people don't think I'm picking this out of the blue. I went to USC for 3 years for my Masters.

Michigan is probably going to maintain their losing streak against OSU which will hurt their ranking overall.

I want to play in this, but I can't seem to pick my team......I guess I'll go with the coach who picks hats two sizes too small and say

LSU

Lukeman8, it appears that you and I are all but out of this contest. Good luck to the rest of you and i guess i'll default to going for the OTHER tigers to win the national championship.

it would appear that way, but after this season i think we'll wait until after this week before declaring a winner.

WOW.....I actually won something. I misread the rules when I played, I didn't see it was before the bowl games, so I thought I'd have to wait till after the bowl games.
12-07-2007, 07:28 PM
ReV

it wouldn't matter, OSU is the only team that can challenge you and no one picked them. feel free to create a sig tag for us whenever.

I have decided to donate my winnings to the "Troop Care Package" I am putting together. Please see http://www.cigarsmokers.com/t9307-ca...he-troops.html

If anyone would like to add to the package, please send them to me and I'll make sure they get sent to those serving our country.

Thanks
Kevin

12-12-2007, 07:26 AM

roll call, has everyone sent their package. I haven't yet because of the christmas thing, mine should go out in the next week or so. The Korean, you are entitled to make a sig tag and force us to display it for 3 months.
12-27-2007, 12:57 AM
The Korean

I'll let anyone off on the Sig Tag.

More importantly, These smokes will go towards a great cause, I am going to send them to the troops.

I'd like to be able to ship them off in the next couple weeks, but I also want to send as many sticks, so we will see things are going before I set a firm date.

Thanks
Kevin
