Fall 2009 Contests

With the NFL and NCAA football seasons starting just around the corner, it’s time to get ready for the Fall 2009 Contests. Like last year, we’re holding a pick’em contest for both leagues over on Yahoo. To play, use the links below and click the “Join Group” button. From there, enter the following info:1

Both leagues will be using the spread and will drop your lowest week’s score. So if you forget to make your picks once or happen to have an especially bad week, you can still possibly win! If you’re still not sure how to play, check out Goob’s Guide to Gambling that I wrote last year.

Oh yeah, prizes! The following applies for both the college and pro leagues, so if you play in both, you double your chances of winning!

1st place: $50 giftcard to your store of choice.
2nd place: $25 giftcard to your store of choice.
Random winner2 : $25 giftcard to your store of choice.

And if you feel so inclined, come talk some smack with us on the forums!3

  1. There’s a 50 person limit to each group, so I’ll just keep making more groups as they fill up. Clearly, you should only join one group per league! Cheaters will be deleted! []
  2. Must participate in all weeks in order to be eligible for the random winner prize []
  3. Is anybody even reading this fine print? []

I'm trying to add to pro group 39259 but it says my password is incorrect. What should i do?

Thanks Goob I appreciate it!

The 6th Pro group is now up.

Goob... pro group 37032 is full and i would like to get in!!!

College group 17022 is full.

This is sweet!!!! I'm excited :-) (I hope I win)

New College AND Pro groups are up. I'm glad I started this early :)

Both groups are full now. I guess this is what happens when I don't check this site for a day. I will keep checking to see if any new ones open up.

Second College group is full. :)

thanks Goob, i thought so just was checking!!!

The third pro group is up! Shaynon, It's going to be a combined overall score. I'll post weekly updates on the forums as to who the top 3 players are in each group and how they compare to each other overall.

Ha Ha Joe...lol... Goob, are you doing a 1st, 2nd and random winner for each group or taking everyone's scores overall combined?

Shaynon am I reading your post correctly that you won it last year? If so, I'm glad I got in the first group. Hate to give you a run for your money! :)

2nd pro group is full! Will you be opening a 3rd?

The second Pro group is full now.

Sure thing, new college group is up.

I tried signing up for the College Pick 'Em, but it says the group is full. Could you make another group there please?

The new group number is up in the post. I'll keep marking out the full groups and updating the number for the currently open group.

SO what's the group number, Goob? Or is it the frequency, Kenneth?

thanks goob im all set !

Second pro group is up and ready to go.

yes pro group is full and my Shay Shay's have to move on to the second group when you make it goob, i will be trying for the nfl title again! woo hoo!

Can you make another league like you did for the basketball tourny. The pro group is full. :/

Robin, you sure you typed it in correctly? There's already 26 other people who have signed up for the college league.

ive done the pro but in the college its says i have the wrong password?

I read the fine print! But I'm a geek like that. ;-P

Yahoo updates the spreads starting around a week before the first game. Right now all the spreads are blank, I just wanted to start signups a little early this year since I waited until Week 2 to do it last year!

So what site are you pulling the spreads off of? I don't see a place where they can be listed in the pick em site.
