Pick Your Bowl

December 6, 2011 2:20 PM

Who's up for some college bowl picking on Yahoo?

I've created a challenge, and you're all invited to join.

The league ID is 17607 and it's called the MeFi Bowl Picking Bowl. You know, since they have such silly names.

The password is beanplating. All one word.

The first bowl (the Gildan New Mexico Bowl) is on the 17th, so make your picks before then. Good luck!

I have chosen the teams that are least likely to discover that their coach is a pedophile. That's what we are doing here, right?

I really can't find the words to express the joy I felt when I first saw this post...nor the disappoint I felt when I realized that this is not the College Bowl I remember.

Now you know how I felt when I saw 300.

Wasn't as disappointed with the College Bowl name confusion because I read the comments first! Thanks d.z. and ZeusH.

OP - I like your new username. It made me laugh.

I'll join. I picked up a bowl or two in college.

Sure, I'll take a stab at it.

In, as WahooWa, but I have not seen many of these teams play this year. It does now give me a rooting interest in the BBVA Compass Bowl which in all honesty I probably would not have otherwise.

I played in College Bowl in high school! It was an academic/trivia competition. Our A team won the championship. (I was on the B team. It was difficult!!)

Wait, on preview, what d. z. wang said upthread.

Not to take the piss here, but...how do you miss until preview something I wrote a day ago? Did you load the page yesterday and then come back to post your comment today? I'm actually curious; it sounds like you're browsing this site in a way completely different from my own.
