Get 'em while you can.

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

Ya, this Richmond game might be the only one they win all year, I'll hop on that train too.

Week 1 - UVA

 

[gunslingerdick]

 

[TarHeelNation11]

You can't be out. You're in.

 

[Billheel]

UVA as well. Assuming I can play since I was not invited.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Yes, welcome aboard! I will accept all entries before Week 1 officially starts.

 

[BillyL]

Brother BillHeel . . . Man, you have an open invitation to anything on this board . .

 

[gunslingerdick]

You can't be out. You're in.

 

[toophly1124]

Can I play?. Apologies for being lax on my OOTB stalking the past week.

Absolutely you can play, dive in, Toophly1124 . . we're playing for $10 a man.

You the man Billy. I'm good for it.

That being said I'll join the crowd and pick the Hoos.

 

[HookUNC75]

I guess I'll be the oddball pick Duke.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

@heelbent, any chance I could get this thread pinned each week too, in addition to Billy's contest? If not, no worries.

 

[coryfly]

I'll play if that is ok. My feelings are badly hurt though. I've been in tears.

I'm going with both 'Cuse and UVA.

UVA

Welcome aboard Cory. Best of luck.

 

[strummingram]

Wake Forest

&

UVa

 

[heelz2345]

I'm going outside of the box, and I'm coming out the gate with my double pick week. My two picks are Syracuse and Duke.

I'm also going with my double pick week...

Syracuse and Virginia

I went back and forth of various combinations of Cuse, UVA, Wake, and Duke.

I went back and forth of various combinations of Cuse, UVA, Wake, and Duke.

I knew I had to get Cuse in week 1 because I have zero faith they'll win any other games. VT was another I had to really scratch my head on. VT will screw me for the game I'm going to pick them. Guaranteed.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

** Reminder **

Games start tomorrow, if you're intending to pick Louisville, NC State, or Wake. Gotta get those picks in before kickoff.

Yeah VT was close on the low confidence scale. Not because they won't win games, but there are just several they have that could go either way

 

[coryfly]

Wait, we are supposed to pick two teams one week?

 

[heelz2345]

Because there are 14 teams, but only 13 weeks, you have to pick two in one week. It's up to you which week that is, I happened to go week 1, but you don't have to pick that one if you don't want to.

Yeah, that is what I figured after I saw people doing it. Cool, thanks!

Team 00- Syracuse

Edited 71 to Duke @ 4:03 on 9/1

Are you 71 or 00? Just keeping you honest so you can't take credit for the colleagues picks if he/she wins.

 

[Raising Heel]

LOL. Because if I know 71, they're both him and he's just trying to hedge his bets.

 

[JuleZ '02 HEEL]

Not much variety in Week 1 as everybody's trying to get the bottom feeders out of the way.

Cuse and UVA for me.

 

[Raising Heel]

Fine, I'm in.

Syracuse and Virginia

 

[UNC71-00]

71

 

[UNC71-00]

Wish I had thought of that.

 

[UNC71-00]

And one more friend wants in. We will call him Not.

Not takes UVA

 

[UNC71-00]

Damn- UVA culled the herd quite nicely
