deadline for picking all games is Saturday at noon

use the "prediction contest" link up top
click on "help" there for instructions

week 1 games:
Alcorn State +43 GEORGIA TECH
Louisiana State +3 Miami @Arlington
Virginia Tech +7 FLORIDA STATE
Tennessee +9 West Virginia @Charlotte
Washington +2 Auburn @Atlanta
 
Helpful Hints.

1. Don't wait until the last minute to put your picks in. Some of you will have browser issues.

2. Don't skip a week. It's almost impossible to win if you miss a set of games.

The problem is that sometimes the links on Stingtalk have a "www" in front of them and sometimes they don't. If you are viewing that link and it has "www" at the front, try deleting the "www." and seeing if it will let you in. Or, if you don't have www try adding it.

Tell him the truth. You have to have at least 500 posts to play.

There was some talk awhile back about @BeeStorm not wanting people to play without participating in the discussion or something.

that was the betting challenge, and I said that, but SEB convinced me not to limit it

(proof that opinions do change on ST)

Maybe this will be the year I'll finally succeed at #2.

procrastination of a task that takes 30 seconds to complete is awesome...

It's forgetfulness, not procrastination. When I actually remember to make picks, I do it right away. #csb
 
Let me dig out the reliable magic 8 ball and see what it says.
