It's that time again!

"What time Danny K?!" Time to lose to me in Yahoo college football pick'em again!

Last season, I bested 30 of you and look forward to doing it again.

You know the drill, one team per person and you have to make your picks 5 minutes before the first game of each week (I'm pretty sure they don't do Thursday or Friday games). Please don't join if you're going to flake the first few weeks of the season and please don't whine about it when you forget to put your picks in (Rasor).

The league ID # is 7144
The league password is kentsucks (that's k.entsucks without the period)

Good luck and, of course, go Zips!

Buchtelite Tournament Pick 'em

Hey Zips fans, seeing as how the yahoo football pick 'em league was fairly popular, I thought we could try yahoo tournament pick 'em. I'm already signed up, so bring it on. If you remember, I won the fooball pick 'em. While he may tell you otherwise, it wasn't because Mike Rasor forgot to pick a week's worth of games. Instead, it is because I am great.

Anyway, here are the particulars (please only one bracket per person):

Yahoo League ID # 41913
Password: kentsucks (that's k-e-n-t-s-u-c-k-s, all lowercase)

What do you win??? Absolutely nothing! (except the pride of beating me, of course. maybe Rasor will mention you on his blog. however, i make no promises)

You guys will enjoy this

A recent Western Michigan game had the greatest promotional night ever. Steve Hawkins bobblehead day! Observe the greatness:




Who wouldn't want one???

Sinisa drafted

In round 3 at pick 33 to Red Bull New York. He'll play for coach Bruce Arena. I was reading that he had a real good pre-draft combine and maybe should have been picked earlier.

Men's basketball preview

Hello Zipsnationers (Zipsnationettes? Zipsnationists? Zipsnationalists? Zipsnationistas?).

The 8-page Buchtelite men's basketball preview hits our stands Nov. 9 (next Thursday). If you are unable to grab one on campus and want a copy, PM me your name and address and I'll have one sent out to you (absolutely free! and maybe I can have Mikey Rasor autograph it!). The section will include:

-a special Rasor's Edge column
-5 things to watch for this season
-Zips team breakdown
-a cover story on Romeo Travis and Dru Joyce
-a feature on Jeremiah Wood
-a breakdown of the MAC
-fantastic/radical/tubular/cowabunga-worthy cover
-loads of fresh art being shot on Sunday
-possibly something else if we can shoe horn it in
-$100 bill (OK, this part is not true)

If you would like a copy, I'll try my best to get them out next Friday. If you would also like a copy of our women's basketball preview which is running Nov. 14, let me know and I'll send that out with the men's preview.
