Bowl Pick Em
College football's regular season is over, and the bitching about bowl placements is already in extreme overdrive. It's also Bowl Pick Em time, which lets you pick the winners of each of the 35 bowls, and rank them in confidence from 1 to 35; the higher the confidence rank, the more points you get for getting it right. This game has the advantage of not having to check it every week, so it's something you can enter once and forget about, rather than forgetting by week 3 and being hopelessly behind.
I figure we can also use this thread for bitching about LSU-Alabama rematch, bitching about the ACC having two teams in the BCS, or whatever injustices your team has suffered lately (my team has not suffered any injustices, they just suck).
To enter, you'll need to register on ESPN.com, but you can disable spam e-mails if you're worried about it. All of them do have a grand prize of some sort if you finish first amongst all the thousands upon thousands of entries in the game, so you might want to use real contact information just in case.
Also, please try to incorporate your BG handle somehow into your team name, or at least post in this thread with your super creative team name so we can bestow you with all the accolades and everlasting respect you deserve by becoming the Grand Foosball Poobah of BG.
ONE ENTRY PER PERSON
There will only be one winner because ties suck, and in the event of a tie, I will use ESPN's tiebreakers for the grand prize to establish a group winner.
If you have any questions or trouble logging in, or just generally like to bitch, do so below.

Prizes? We don't need no steenken prizes! Although each game has a grand prize for all entries on ESPN.com, none of these games have a BG specific prize other then e-peen, bragging rights, and your name on the esteemed list of self-important jackasses below (I can say that because I'm on the list more than anyone else).
