Cockytalk Football Pickem

[khosk]

It is that time of year again. The football pickem is up and ready to go.

The rules are simple.
Pick the winner of all 10 games.
Assign a confidence to each game 1-10. The game you feel most confident about put a 10, the one you are least confident about put a 1.
One week will be thrown out.
You can change your picks anytime up till time of the first game.

[evilpoptart]

[Spur's Addiction]

You guys are all going down!

[CockNBlythewood]

Oh baby its finally come! I always sucked at these but I love seeing them come back because I know the first game is right around the corner!

[CGSHighball]

I'm pretty sure the SoCal-UVA game is in Charlottesville. That could make it less of a shoe-in...

[khosk]

You are right, I will fix it.

[pickenschicken]

[JAYBEZ]

[Gaichon]

I expect to reign triumphantly in this contest.

[khosk]

what am i doing wrong it won't let me update



Is it giving you an error message? You have to choose all 10 of your picks and distribute the points from 1-10.

[cocksfan4ever]

im in ...heres to a good year

[MDCox]

How do you know if you are in, I did not see a screen to say it worked or not.

[khosk]

How do you know if you are in, I did not see a screen to say it worked or not.


If you go back to the page, your picks should show up.

[papasmurf]

Thanks,everything is back to normal...Wonder if we will get a " what if " post on this thread ?

[StuckinKuwait]

I'm gonna lose badly like I always do! woo hoo!

[gamecocks222]

i try to update but it says confidence points must be distrubuted 1 to 10 - 10

[khosk]

i try to update but it says confidence points must be distrubuted 1 to 10 - 10

That means that you don't have a different value assigned to each game. And since it says 10 it means that the problem with 10.

[TKE226]

will there be an update after every week to see where everyone stands?

[hunter4]

I'm in...hope I do better than the nascar segment!

[cocksfan4ever]

what if...jk

[smoovecock]

..Just like last year....yall are pickin for overall 2nd place...Smoovie knows College Tackle Footzball......that said....these are some tuff azz picks coming outta the gate on the first week.....:football:

[SpuR48]

App State over LSU - 10 points!!!!

:lol:

[Marshall4usc]

i try to update but it says confidence points must be distrubuted 1 to 10 - 10


Same here. I'm using the drop down for each so it def is between 1-10

[khosk]

Each game must have a different value. If you are seeing this message it means you have a duplicate, such as 2 1's.

[USCya]

Thanks for the reminder Papa!


Go Cocks! Go SEC! SCal YOU SUCK!

[Gamecock_Aholic]

wooooooooooooooo

[pickenschicken]

yes it is

[pickenschicken]

got it thanks

[nickerous]

My picks are in. I was happy with my Top-10 finish last year. I usually suck at these things.

[USC80]

http://www.theperfumebee.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/trophy-cup.jpgIt's Mine!

[khosk]

Just a quick bump since first week picks end tomorrow. We have a 148 people signed up at this point.

[Spur 'Em]

Maybe I can hold the top 15 again this season.

[bioniccock]

That means that you don't have a different value assigned to each game. And since it says 10 it means that the problem with 10.

I have put the numbers in order from 10 to 1 and it still won't work!

Ken, you need to update that Avatar...I know that little cutie has some newer Gcock pics than that....:thumbsup:

Actually, the avatar will be updated tomorrow and yes it's need updating because she now can run as fast as our football players and is probably meaner when she wants to be.

"Beak cover"? Huh?

[RbrewDawg]

[WayzUp]

Where's the leaderboard?

[TKE226]

will there be a week to week update of the leaderboard?

[Crazy_Gamecock]

will there be a week to week update of the leaderboard?


There normally is, you probably just have to allow Khosk the time to do it, also I don't remember if it had any of today's games on our pick'em from this week, so we might have to wait til tomorrow or wednesday

[Cockmobile]

Didn't it have the Tenn/UCLA game on it? I think so.

[khosk]

http://www.cockytalk.com/footballPickList.php

Sorry, here is the leaderboard.

[Crazy_Gamecock]

Hey Khosk, is there a reason it is reading that I picked the UCLA-Tenn. game wrong? I picked UCLA to win

[Cockmobile]

I picked UCLA too but it's showing in red, like a loss. I picked 9 correct and it shows 8.

[NastyNash]

[theuscerock]

Picks are up for this week.
Florida is the home team...for U vs. UF

[justagamecockfan]

There seems to be an error in the leaderboard.

The leader, with 54 points, missed two games. 54 points are impossible with 2 misses.

In fact, he missed the #5 and #4 pick, so should have 46. Somehow, he had two 8's and two 4's with neither a 1 nor 2.

Seems like a bug somewhere.

[khosk]

Scores are updated. Smoove and EGNArts are tied for the lead.

[Spur 'Em]

That was a disaster of of a week. I'll just blame it on bad karma from Thursday...yeah that's the ticket.

[khosk]

I am still in complete and utter shock I lost the lead.

[garnet4ever]

I'm just shocked I'm 5th, my best placing EVER!

[Crazy_Gamecock]

I picked Vandy. LOL

[USCya]

I would be interested in knowing how many did and if any were a higher confidence than 2 ....

What was your confidence value?

[TigerSpectator]

I picked Vandy...and had it as a higher confidence value than 2...I just can't remember what it was exactly..

[Cockmobile]

I would be interested in knowing how many did and if any were a higher confidence than 2 ....

What was your confidence value?

I had them at a confidence level of 4 to win. :clap:

[TigerSpectator]

For me it wasn't a confidence in Vandy to win, as it was a confidence in the Barners to lose

[Cockmobile]

The only one I lost was Michigan and I had it at a confidence level of 2.

:wink:

[USCya]

For me it wasn't a confidence in Vandy to win, as it was a confidence in the Barners to lose

[Cocklover]

when will the results be up?

[LeeSC]

Khosk,

Quick question about the "worst week dropped" thing. Is this done at the end of the season, or exactly how does this work. Just asking as I accidentally missed a week.

Thanks,
Lee

[garnet4ever]

hmmm GA-LSU ... that could be an interesting game ...

[khosk]

Khosk,

Quick question about the "worst week dropped" thing. Is this done at the end of the season, or exactly how does this work. Just asking as I accidentally missed a week.

Thanks,

I'll go ahead and change the list to show it with the lowest week dropped.

[khosk]

Scores are up. Picks will be up tomorrow and I'll change the scores tomorrow to drop the lowest score.

[garnet4ever]

thanks khosk ...

[khosk]

Picks are up. I'll say this, hats off to Texas if they win this week. What they have done is very impressive.

http://www.cockytalk.com/FootballPicks.php

[d20636]

Whoa - I really have to recheck my picks next time - I've never not picked the Cocks. I blew it on Texas/Michigan/BC/others ... but dayum.

:club::loser::oops:

man tell me ... I blew this weeks picks up

[gamecock4life]

khosk, when you have time could you check my score. Should have 374 instead of 373. I know it's only 1 point and I'm behind 56 points, but who knows what could happen the next few weeks. I think that the low score dropped was the wrong one. Week #7 10-10-08 (34 score) was dropped, when week#2 9-03-08(33 score) should have been. Thanks.

[khosk]

Picks are up and I'll check it.

[Spur 'Em]

That was an ugly week. I hate seeing freakin Northwestern again. No matter how I picked, I can't win their game. Can you say 1 confidence point this week???

[Gamecockfan4evr]

ok... it WILL NOT stop telling me I distributied my points wrong.... Wtf?

[papasmurf]

Thanks khosk...

New picks are up... http://www.cockytalk.com/FootballPicks.php

[toolman]

Do you guys really think we can win saturday??

[gamecock4life]

I hope that the scores are not updated because there is no way they are correct. I have 520 points, not 449. All I can do is hit the update button and I don't know if it saves my picks or not. I noticed that a couple of weeks are missing from my results page and I have picked & updated every week.

[Spur 'Em]

Crap Khosk, I didn't know the games started on Thursday this week!!

[Gamecock23]

Khosk, there are 11 games posted for this week and only numbers from 1-10. Can't provide confidence level. Thanks!!!

[khosk]

Fixed, dumped the Troy - Arkansas State game.

[CGSHighball]

WOOHOO!!!!!

[egnarts]

Do we pick bowl games? I don't remember from last year.

[cockyhoskins]

we'll announce the winners tomorrow and do the bowl pickem then. same format.

[khosk]

With the week dropped the winners are

CGSHighball 613 102 613
egnarts 612 97 612
papasmurf 642 102 611

Papasmurf had the most points without the week dropped. Congrats all.

[USCya]

Congrats to all of you!!!!!


Thanks to KHosk as well - This was fun and can't wait until the bowl game Pick'em.

[egnarts]

Thanks. Great job by Papasmurf. I noted that CGS also had 102 correct. Do I need to talk to you two about confidence levels? lol

[papasmurf]

Thanks to khosk and all the Mods that make Pickem possible and so much fun.

[CGSHighball]

Thanks khosk, that was a lot of fun. Egnarts and papa, GREAT season, see you next year!

[CGSHighball]

Will there be a bowl-pickem game? Or is it already posted and I'm just missing it?

[garnet4ever]

congrats guys ... and yes khosk ... you're the man! Thanks for another great season of pick 'em!

[USCya]

bunch of cheaters!


:lol:

[garnet4ever]

bunch of cheaters!


:lol:


YEAH!!:woo:

[CGSHighball]

LOL. Do I get anything for ch- i mean winning? Medal? Rep? CockyCash? Lapdance?

And will there be a similar Bowl-Pickem game?

[egnarts]

No picks up yet and games start on Saturday. Problem might be how to format picks for up to 34 games with corresponding confidence choices. I don't remember a bowl game pickem last year.

[RoboRooster]

Thanks Khosk and mods. Can't wait to try my hands at this year's bowl pick 'em.

[khosk]

No picks up yet and games start on Saturday. Problem might be how to format picks for up to 34 games with corresponding confidence choices. I don't remember a bowl game pickem last year.

Yes, it's too difficult with 34 picks. I think I am just going to narrow it down to 15.

[egnarts]

Yes, it's too difficult with 34 picks. I think I am just going to narrow it down to 15.
Can you give us a date when picks may be up?

[khosk]

Can you give us a date when picks may be up?

They are up, it's in another thread.
