While we’re talking pools, I’ve emptied out the waiting list and I still have one, possibly two slots open up in the pool that I run. It seems that just about every year we have one Doper join in, so if anyone is interested in an insanely fun pool, come take a look.

Ooh I’d be interested.

Asked the same question in the College Football 2008 thread.
I’m in if there’s interest.
Just giving this thread a post-Amnesia Weekend bump…two days until the games start to count!
You can pick the games up until 5 minutes before they start, so if you want you can pick only Thursday’s game now and do the rest later. But don’t forget to do Thursday’s game.
BUT, if you’re playing Survival, make sure you get your pick in before 7:00 on Thursday, even if you’re picking a Sunday winner.
Make sure you get your survival picks this week in the next 3.5 hours, you need to pick them before the first game starts. You’ll have to pick Thursday night’s game too in the pick em leagues. Anyone still interested can sign up whenever.
I haven’t had time this year to organize the salary cap league that we ran last year, but if you make a team (look for salary cap football on fantasysports.yahoo.com) we may be able to be part of a league together later. You can play against the general public even if you’re not in a league.
You guys might also be interested in trying wagerline.com - it’s a virtual sports betting site where you competitively bet monopoly money on sports bets, but you could become recognized as one of the top bettors for various categories and IIRC there are real prizes even though it’s free.
If a few of us sign up for that, we may be able to form some sort of league later for that too.
Ok, the last bit of advertising I plan to do: the deadline for the prop bet contest is tonight at 7:00 Eastern.
God, football’s here in four hours. Dios mio, man. Dios mio.
So how did everyone do over the weekend. 
Fucking Seahawks.
Fucking Lions.
Although things are looking good in Pick’em.
I picked the Lions also. That pick of Ryan the Falcons made suddenly looks better too me.
Bummer. I’m too late for everything but pick’em. I looked a couple times, but never saw this thread.
Well after one week, I make it
Cat 1 - Squid 0
I’ll take gloating rights while I can. 
Hal’s Rabid Ferrets at the top of the list – gloat gloat gloat.
Of course, I did that last season as well, and slowly tanked it as the season went on.
Things I learned today:
You get more points in Confidence if you choose a higher number for the games you feel more confident about. (As opposed to ranking them, with 1 being most confident.)
:smack:
Hey its nice to be catching up on the leaders.
Look out Hal Bristonand meek.
I did a little math and figured out if I had done the first week right, I could have gotten 85 points. Still not great, but I’d be in 2nd place overall now.
And I suck against the spread.
Some of you still need to make your pick 'em entries.
