Is this the official surly pool? Is there going to be an official surly pool? Either way, I'm in.

No it's not and I cant remember who runs that one. I usually do a CFB season pick em and bowl pick em every year but been slacking since Covid. 

I'll take your money if you really want me to.

Probably should post this on main football board so we get more entrants who don’t look at the gambling board

just made a post about this on the football board.  hopefully that'll increase our numbers.

If you have not paid by kick of the first game your entry will be removed.  

 

And stop sending as a business transaction or whatever the hell it is that charges fees. Use Friends and Family. SMH

customer service bitches......

there are 3 options, which one do we use?

https://fantasy.espn.com/games/college-football-bowl-mania-2021/make-picks?addata=bowlmania2021_ncaaf_web_fantasynav

Click on any of the 3 things on the initial pop up. Then Click where it says “Groups”.  Type the group mentioned by OP in search bar. Profit.

Any objection to me allowing the Doomlet (age 6) to participate? 

I totally get it if people don't like the appearance of me perhaps having multiple entries, but I promise that he'll be making his own choices.

you know i don't have any problem with it, but it's JC's show.

I don't think we've ever cared about multiple entries as long as the ones in the prize pool are paid for. 

I put $20 in front of my entry ala the past.  My son (Emmett) did not.  We both paid.  Once the games start, can we get an update as to how many have paid v those just playing?

Just sent $40 for me and the boy. 

ESPN's interface for this game has been shit for decades. 

Now it appears that you can't just make a few picks and save it (i.e., put in the shit for tomorrow and then figure the rest out later on) - you have to make all your picks at once before you can save anything. 

@joeycovers

You can delete the "ESPNfan729308".  It's a duplicate from my acct and I can't figure out how to delete it myself.

Noticed that yesterday. Had to block out a solid hour of time today to do it. So stupid. 

I set up a formula and let my wife pick the winners and confidence for each game. She hasn’t watched a single snap of college football all year. Thanks for your monies, I’ll spend it wisely

This sucked ass. I had to hand write a list of the games with confidence next to them and started at 1 and went down the order.

I've always picked UT most confidence points. It worked out great Under Herman. Now i'm lost

Also the fact that you can't drag and drop the games into order of preference is just maddening bullshit

And I fucking guarantee that they're still going to have that uselessly wide "group picks" screen where you have to slide the view all the way over to the right to see total points, but in doing so, it cuts off the entry name on the left side of the screen so it's an exercise in futility to try to look at scores and standings. 

And they're not going to bother adding a "max points possible" or "total points still left on the board" measure, meaning that it will be another exercise in futility to figure out how you rank at the end. 

If I could drown the people in charge of the user experience for this game, I would do so without any hesitation whatsoever.

There’s really only 4 of us with 20$ bets or did people forget to put the 20 in their names?

This isn't the old Shaggy game where you could play for free.  You're expected to pay here

Edited by PhillyD
Surly/shaggy whatever

In and entry fee paid.

I look forward (as always) to hearing doomlet's insider info on his pick selections.

I changed my name from PoD to $500 Prepuce in response to MN's concern. Sorry if this caused confusion. Doomlet is still Doomlet. 

I paid for our two entries yesterday.
