General Dog posted:I'd say go with Yahoo. Not sure you can do custom pick sets, but the default set is usually pretty strong if you don't mind the additional time investment of making about 20 picks per week. I think I probably will go with Yahoo, until I can get a good luck at ESPN's tool. Right now it's under maintenance. As an aside, I'm going to start writing my own pick 'em website. If it's like my other passion projects, I'll probably give up within a couple weeks. If not, I might try to use it next year.

If Mark Richt would have fully embraced Evil Richt instead of Saint Richt, I think he would have been better off.

I tried to register for SASEliminator, but it didn't work. There was no "contact us" page or whatever, but I found the github project for SASEliminator and found someone with the same username on Twitter and tweeted at him. We'll see, I guess!

That was my last year as a Hawaii fan. I'd lived in Oregon for 5 years at that point but didn't know whether to root for UO or OSU so just stuck to my home team. But after that bowl game, June Jones leaving, and Chip turning OU into something just as fun to watch as the UH run and gun years - I knew which ship I was jumping to.

The state government needs to stay out of the affairs of state universities and do their job, which is telling women what they can and can't do.

The SCAR one happened really early too so I wasn't totally clear that it had really hosed them until at the end of the season when they went on a tear, SCAR fell apart, and everyone else kept loving up. That might have been Richt's best shot at a title. WVU losing to Pitt was funny at the time but is such a bummer in hindsight. They were REALLY good and that offense with Pat White and Steve Slanton was fun as hell. Would have been nice to see them win a title. Guess they can settle for being the best video game team of all time

That might have been Richt's best shot at a title. They were a few yards and one dumb play by a receiver from playing for one in 2012 that I'm fairly confident they would have won.

And I never will, seeing how he's dead. One of my favorite VT fan stories is similar. The sports editor for the local paper in Roanoke (closest big city to Blacksburg) was a Duke alum named Bill Brill. Bill Brill hated VT with a fiery passion because he was an ACC elitist who saw the conference as better than VT. After the conference realignment was announced, Brill said the infamous phrase "VT will not win an ACC championship in my lifetime". VT proceeded to win the ACC in football in its first year in 2004 and VT fans responded by flooding his house with funeral flowers and cards for his wife on the passing of Brill. VT won a bunch of ACC titles those first few years in the conference and fans would doggedly call and mail Bill to remind him until he finally died years later.
