We did this for a couple of years a few years ago - combination of HS, college and pro games. Just pick the winner. No cost to play.
We'll have to work on Rick more though - he never came through with promised Corvette for the winner. :)

No, I am referring to the Zero U from the north. Some place in OhiO.:)

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. You obviously don't recognize quality football when you see it.
Seriously - they would be included in important games as would all teams. Breakdown of maybe the HS district teams, 5 or 6 of the important college games each week and the rest from the NFL. Total of 20 picks. The MNF game will not be included - want the results out Sunday evening, not Tuesday morning.

Who can't run???? Ohio State may be the fastest team in the country this year. Although I do admit they are probably screwed - Braxton Miller is out for the year with a messed up shoulder. Just had surgery this week.
His replacement is some freshman from Wichita Falls - think he played at Ryder HS. A few Texans on the OSU roster, Owl. One kid to watch is that Donte Wilson out of DeSoto - a real speed burner. They recruited him at RB, but used him also as a WR last year.
I think I need to have this thread moved to under a separate topic under NFL, college or HS. Other than you no one else has seen it.

The ONLY reason some of them can run is because they learned how when the cops started chasing them.

Yea I heard about their QB and thought about you and Rick. They were a pre season top 5 and I heard recently that they may be in the top 20. It just depends on a Texas freshman QB. I hope he does well but doesnt win many games. He did desert to the north zero u. :))

Ya, it sucks about Miller, but he will be back next year. There have been other freshmen who did well. From Texas too.

You never know.

Kenny Guitton, that back up who did so great for 2 years when Miller was hurt was from Houston. And year ago they had a QB named Rod Gerald who was from Texas. He lead them to a win in the Orange Bowl over the Big 10 Champ then.
There is only so much space for 4 or 5 star QB's in Texas - namely Texas, A&M, TCU and Baylor. SMU and North Texas and UTEP would also be alternatives, but if the kid is really that good he wants to play for a name program, not some second tier school in Texas.

North zero u is rated, in academic terms, far ahead of UT. :)

I'll see if I can find a suitable prize, until then, all I can promise is a picture of me!
