Rock Chalk Talk Pick'em Contest

by Denverjhawk on Aug 31, 2009 1:53 PM CDT in Football Comment 56 comments

We've already done the fantasy football thing but here's another opportunity that will make for a little trash talking excitement during the season here at RCT. I joined the Ralphie Reports version last year and it's a pretty good time. Free to join, easy to do and takes very little time. Each week we'll have 15 pick'em games and you pick your winners .

This will clearly establish the ultimate RCT'er in terms of college football knowledge. Okay, so that may be a bit much but we can pretend. As with all RCT contests, this puts you in the running for a that mythical free RCT t-shirt if we ever decide to make one so sign up now and get your selections in before Saturday.

Registration Page - select join pool under NCAA College Football Pool

Pool Name: Rock Chalk Talk Pick'em

Password: Rock Chalk

Looking forward to working over KC in another RCT event? Join Today!!

I think it would be cool

if we got all our leagues and competitions on one host site. FBB on ESPN, FFB on FleaFlicker, all the tournament contests were on Yahoo… I’m getting confused here and having to create new accounts for everything.

Plus, it would pool all of our history together in all leagues. That way, my thorough domination in every fantasy league, Pick ’Em Contest and whatever will be on full display.

maybe you and Jay Cutler can start a cry babies only website that takes care of that : D

honestly, it’s a good idea but I think at this point that ship has sailed…I’ll send you a free T-Shirt for your troubles

Why do we NOT have t-shirts?

That would be awesome to wear on gamedays and could possibly bring in more site traffic.

We need a site slogan.

Let’s get serious about this. I’ll revolt if we don’t get a shirt. I really want a shirt.

Shoulda

done the water from the East Coast…the water is warmer… but I guess that would take out KC.

by labbadabba on Aug 31, 2009 2:39 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

This is true.

Coulda taken Kentucky out that way, too. But, now Kentucky becomes like Lake of the Ozarks on ’roids.

great idea...

he could have made the water come from the east, eliminating both Kentucky and Missouri the once it hit Kansas perhaps it only comes in from the southeast bordering Lawrence to the South Instead of West..

Not to mention he completely eliminated Mexico and Canada. My biggest concern would be that teams like Buffalo or any other border town school suddenly becoming a powerhouse.

No, no, no.

This is JUST a US map. Canada and Mexico are still there.

On the Buffalo not, they would be a team of BRUISERS. All the Canadian hockey players would be displaced to northern US areas, thus becoming Buffalo fans… That WOULD be scary..

This could also bring Michigan

back to “dominance,” too.

Maybe we should think twice before we go through with this.

What I’m saying is we should have kept using ESPN for everything else, too.

This also stimulates

the economy in KC, because now all suburbs east and south of KC are waterfront property, thus will sell for 5 times their current value.

now it actually make sense

that Lawrence is surrounded by wetlands.

Seriously? Wetlands? I’m mean, I’ve seen pictures and it’s nice and all, but wetlands? The Wakarusa watershed is not exactly what I’d call wetlands… Oh well.

This is just fabulous in every way, KC.

Well, done.

It’s not even an option for the t-shirt, but it is still fantastic.

I might make my own shirt, just to have that on it.

I though it would be a best seller.

So - I guess we would have

the body of water off our coast the Missouri Sea? Gulf of Missouri? Bushwacker Bay?

Something catchy like…“The Sea of Despair” in commemoration of what formerly inhabited the space.

Our little seaside

paradise would be polluted as hell tho. Before that water gets to us it’s got to contend with WV coal sluree, Ohio industrial waste, Indiana farm run-off, and Missouri meth…

Yeah...

this puts you in the running for a that mythical free RCT t-shirt

It’ll get done eventually. Me and Denver will hammer this thing out sooner or later.

I know Bensa wins one for the NCAA Tournament pool from last season. KC will probably win one for fantasy baseball.

That’s all so far, right?
