Should we do one? Manually on the board like Spartan guard used to or through a site?

Whatya say?

by **steveschneider** 9/2/2015, 9:00 am

Spartan Guards format was perfect. Can anyone reach that poster and have them do it again?

by **InTenSity** 9/2/2015, 9:05 am

I'd participate, but no way am I that organized.

That was the beauty of Spartan Guards format it made the whole thing so easy.

I'm down AF

It would be best to keep it on board but like you guys are saying the recording and tracking of it..

by **Turtleneck** 9/2/2015, 9:44 am

How many participation points does it cost to play?

by **Robert J Sakimano** 9/2/2015, 9:53 am

she always did a nice job and seemed to be rather organized about it. That immediately disqualifies me from heading it up.

"Hey. Yeah, Spartan Guard? Yeah, hi - I know you haven't been around tSwill in a while.. and I certainly can't blame you, but would you mind coming back so you could organize some stuff for us? Thanks".

you should've added "we need a woman around here to kind of tidy things up"...

I can try - but as you guys can imagine, who knows how it goes.

Simple excel sheet would do the job, yeah?

do you know how to open up an excel worksheet without calling IT support? If so, the job is yours.

If I do this.. do we keep it to big ten with a few bonus games? (top 25 matchups, lions games, etc?) Isn't that what we did?

With the fighting harbaughs starting tomorrow, I'll probably have to start the week 1 thread tonight, no?

Can you use Yahoo? Either way, get it going and I will play (as long as Bob is not playing).

Spartan Guard used to do Big 10 games and then other games that some people may or may not be interested in.

oh, I'll play, dude. I played last year - I figure I couldn't do any worse than anyone else here.

I feel like if we use a website to do it, not as many will do it and it's less of a relaxed atmosphere.. more like a 24/7 corporate type deal.

But if enough people are willing to sign up for a separate web site one, then by all means, I'm in.

yeah good idea. If it were sponsored by Yahoo or ESPN, etc - I couldn't do that.

Which might be reason enough for you to do it, I don't know.

True. That is a good point. You can add my name to the spreadsheet but please make sure you destroy any information you collect about me after the season.

Fuck it - I'll do it manually. Pull my weight around here somehow, earn my keep.

Look for a thread with the games sometime tonight.

by **Giant Moose** 9/2/2015, 11:09 am

Bob is more eager about picking sports than I would have thought. I think we're slowly peeling back the layers of the Bob onion.

If you want to alternate weeks I'll step up and pull some weight.

Here's a few examples..

Maryland +3.5 @ PSU
Wisconsin -7.5 @ Rutgers
Northwestern +4.5 @ Iowa
Indiana +7.5 @ Michy
Purdue +23.5 @ Nebraska
Illinois +27.5 @ OSU
TCU -5.5 @ West Virginy
Auburn +2.5 @ Ole Miss
Stanford +7.5 @ Oregon
Utah +5.5 @ Arizona State

bonus random NFL
Denver -3.5 @ New England

Also, going off the search thing looks like Wally Fairway used to do the picks as well.

Here we go! Only 5 B1G games so I'm throwing in some Top 25 matchups, too.

Indiana @ Iowa -3.5
Northwestern @ Minnesota -3.5
Illinois @ Wisconsin -24.5
MSU -21 @ Purdue
Penn St @ Michigan -1

Auburn -2.5 @ Miss St
TCU @ Baylor -9
Oregon -2.5 @ UCLA
Georgia -3 @ Mizzou

Lions -1.5 @ Minnesota

Gotta be handy with the steel if you know what I mean, earn your keep!

This isn't a job and we aren't going to pay you for this. Just keep that in mind.

Sounds great, works for me. This way we can keep tSwill on their toes depending our style of choosing games to pick week to week. I'll take week 1.

I'm just going to follow the format, all B1G matchups then fill in the remainder with top 25 teams facing off and one bonus NFL game.

sure - I've actually chaired search committees and we're always interested in people who can effectively document their ability to babysit people online.

WTF, OTPT? No MAC game. Have some respect for the Midwest.

by HT 9/2/2015, 1:58 pm

I'm DT pick'em.

Also Spartan Guard should come back. Could use more people here.

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 9/2/2015, 2:06 pm

I in no way offer to help at all, however, don't we have that fake better thing on this site? Couldn't we just use that except you have to pick every game and every pick is just a point or whatever instead of a bet? That seems easy enough. Heat can do that. Wait. Shit
