We’ve made it!
With all due respect to UMass, Hawaii, Colorado State, Wyoming and New Mexico State, College Football’s regular season starts tomorrow.
And, with its arrival, so too comes the smack-talking, valuable self-esteem, and reproductive opportunities that you can only enjoy by winning our 11th annual College Football Pick ‘Em Contest.
We also have some loot for three deserving winners.
HOW TO PLAY:
Create your Yahoo Fantasy profile (or sign in,) then go to the following link: (or copy and paste https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/college/register/joingroup)
Group Name: Roll ‘Bama Roll 2K18
When queried to “join a group” enter the following information:
Group ID#: 10452
Group Password 18in18rtr
That’s it.
All you have to do then is select your teams.
The first games get under way Thursday (IIRC). I’ve also set up the picks to be due 5 minutes before the first week’s game (usually Wed. or Thurs.) We all have bad weeks, get busy, forget etc., so you will get to drop your lowest one-week of the 12-week season.
See League Rules on the Yahoo page or below for scoring details.
WHAT CAN I WIN?!
This year we have three prizes.
The Grand Prize winner shall receive a Nike licensed game day Number 13 jersey suitable for framing or as part of your ‘Bama collection. I assure you, that number was chosen randomly and not at all in connection with a certain Heisman-favored Hawaiian and Alabama hero. /Wink.
The first runner-up shall receive a gorgeous vintage drab/BDU licensed ‘47 ‘Bama Salute: Operation Hat Trick hat. All proceeds from this item went to the support of service members wounded in service to our country. (Roll Tide, and thank you all.)
The second runner-up shall receive a licensed Script-A cell-phone wallet sleeve.
I take awful cell phone photos (except of food or my ridiculously photogenic hound,) but you know what a jersey looks like.
So here’s what the hat looks like:
