Blocksma Christmas Card

Seeing as how it is the end of the year, we are all due for a little recollection and time looking back.. and also, i know we are copycats of others who have already put together end of year videos, but i hope you enjoy it anyways.

College Bowl Pickum Tournament!

So, yes, there are lots of pictures on Flickr that i've uploaded of late, and puhlenty of stories that i've been to lazy to convey here, and yes, I'm sure my guilt of blog despondency will overwhlem me soon enough, but, until then, i have the following to anounce:


I've decided to open a Bowl Pickem' tournament over at yahoo: click HERE to go to the registration page - come up with a pick set and lets see who can guess at random the best! You do need a yahoo account to play along, but, lets face it, if you don't have one from 1997 that you setup when yahoo was the coolest thing on the block, signing up for one isn't too much trouble. (if you just go to the yahoo sports page, our group number is 28221 and the password is: spartans, and you can sign up that way)

The cool thing about this is that you can assign your picks an order of how confident you feel about them, and subsequently each pick is then ordered and quantified with different point values, ranging from 1 to 32. For example, if you're punch positive that Michigan State will roll Boston College you would set that at the top of the list to make the correct pick worth 32 points. But, if you're up all night trying to decide how the Boise State - East Carolina game will turn out, you can set it lower in the set for a total point value of 1 or 2 if you get it right. (hint: Boise State.)

Let the games begin! The first bowl game is Navy v. Utah in the Poinsettia (manly!) bowl on December 20th, so get your picks in before then! I think I'll put the same bounty for winning as i did last spring for March Madness - that said, winner will take home a pound of primo Bean Cycle coffee to celebrate with. Happy Pickin!
