December 14, 20205 yr ...because unbeknownst to me before about 30 seconds ago, bowl season starts this saturday. http://fantasy.espn.com/college-bowl-mania/2020/en/group?groupID=278966 password is: werefucked $25 entry, PM me for venmo, cashapp or paypal. don't mention gambling in the message, just put surly.
December 14, 20205 yr Author also, if @blacklab and/or @immamac don't feel like running it, i can do it.
December 14, 20205 yr Author pretty sure it's usually $25 entry and the top 3 get paid a 50/30/20 split.
December 14, 20205 yr I'll be in to lose $25 to close out this clusterfuck of a season. Edited December 14, 20205 yr by PhillyD

December 16, 20205 yr Yeah I am cool with losing $25 just to say fuck this season. But may I suggest part of this go to the Banner fund for 2021?

December 16, 20205 yr Can we ban that one dude who shows up every year to lecture everyone else about their strategy?

Not sure if it's the same guy every year, but he comes out about halfway through the bowls criticizing strategy. I guess picking them all correctly and assigning them points based on your confidence requires some advanced rocket surgery. I'm pretty sure he has never won either.
December 16, 20205 yr Author lol he pm'ed last year telling me who to pick in the championship game then got all upset when i ignored him.

And doesn’t do poorly.
December 16, 20205 yr Can we ban that one dude who shows up every year to lecture everyone else about their strategy?What was his name? Sargeant something?

I guess picking them all correctly and assigning them points based on your confidence requires some advanced rocket surgery. I'm pretty sure he has never won either. If you lose big early, you’re not supposed change your picks in later games or something because picking the favorites like everybody else will make up little ground...I think that’s what I debated with him about one year
December 16, 20205 yr Assuming this will be pinned if it happens. I'm in for 3 entries - son, friend, and me.
December 16, 20205 yr Seems like picking which bowls are actually going to be played, and which are canceled, is the real contest this year.

December 16, 20205 yr Author i went ahead and setup a group for us just to get the ball rolling: http://fantasy.espn.com/college-bowl-mania/2020/en/group?groupID=278966 password is: werefucked
December 21, 20205 yr Author i think this is going to be a relatively small contest this year, but i'm still down if you guys are. if it stays at fewer than 10 people, i say we just make it winner take all ($25 entry). and i think we should have a gentleman's agreement that at least 24 of the 29 games have to be played in order for this thing to be valid.
December 21, 20205 yr Author if you're gonna play, just go in and auto fill your picks that way your entry will be ready to go tomorrow. you can always move up/down in confidence points and change the picks on the days of the actual games. but with the first game being tomorrow (2:30), it's a good idea to at least get your entry submitted.
December 21, 20205 yr Author it has also come to my attention that entries had been locked so if you tried to sign up and had trouble, you should be able to now.
December 21, 20205 yr I just entered and did the auto fill bullshit just to have something in the books.
December 21, 20205 yr I was so anxious to throw money away I didn't even know there was a game tomorrow. I agree less than 10 is winner take all.
December 21, 20205 yr I'm in. I'll fill out my bracket in a little bit. Quick question: if a bowl gets cancelled, will we have a chance to move another game into that point slot? It would really suck to have my 30-point game cancelled and then not have a chance to replace it with a future game.
December 21, 20205 yr Author i can handle the money since its not going to be a huge group. i can do venmo, paypal and apple pay (that is my order of preference as to how payments are sent). just PM me with your preferred method of payment and i'll get you the info. also it looks like there are already 12 entries. if we get to 15 i say we do a 70/30 split between first and second place. if we get to 30 we can do a 50/30/20 split between the top 3.
December 21, 20205 yr Are there any objections to me allowing the Doomlet (he's five) to participate in the money league? I give my word that I won't use a second entry to engage in any funny business, but if anyone doesn't like the possibility, then I will not pay an entry fee for him and will just let him think he's fully participating. He's currently 20th of 23 in our weekly NFL Pick 'Em, so this is probably just more money for the pot... Edited December 21, 20205 yr by Prepuce of Doom
December 21, 20205 yr Done and in. I'll add my son in a few and see if I can find another couple of entries.
December 21, 20205 yr I am in for the $25 pool because I apparently enjoy donating to you people. I tried to change my handle to reflect that and ESPN wouldn't keep the save. Their UX fucking blows and I got tired of trying to sort it out, so just memorialize this post as me participating in the $25. I'll PM OP shortly.

Their UX fucking blows and I got tired of trying to sort it out, so just memorialize this post as me participating in the $25. I'll PM OP shortly. To add to my annual complaints about ESPN's shitful user experience, there's apparently no way to just straight up reset all your picks to being blank/unpicked/unranked once you use one of their autofill options. I plugged in the "most popular" picks as a placeholder last night, and it's a fucking beating to try to undo while completing them in earnest. One fun feature is that when you reassign a ranking, all the other rankings shuffle around accordingly, so you can never really rearrange things all at once - it's like a fucking Dutch Boy and the Dyke situation (and not the good kind...) I may end up just deleting my entry and rejoining so I can start from scratch, so let that be a cautionary tale for everyone else... Edit: it appears that you can't delete an entry and start over because of course you can't. Each user ID is allowed two entries, so use them wisely. Edited December 21, 20205 yr by Prepuce of Doom
December 21, 20205 yr Every year I tell myself I’d get more enjoyment out of spending the $25 on a hand job from an ugly stripper, but every year I end up paying you guys to fist me.Sent OP PM for Venmo instructions

Fuck it... Might as well blow $25 on here vs more Christmas crap
December 21, 20205 yr sooo, was I supposed to put $25 in front of my name since I'm in for $25? because I didn't.
