It’s Here! HLS Expert Picks are Here! Week 1 – 2007

August 30, 2007 by domer.mq

As much as you’ve been anxiously awaiting the start of College Football Season, truth be told you’ve really been awaiting the 2007 Edition of the HLS Expert Picks!

Well, now you may rejoice!

Go on. Rejoice. Get a move on. Where the hell is the sousaphone? I ordered a sousaphone.

There it is!

And here are our games for week 1:

  • The Big Game: Notre Dame v. Ga Tech
  • The Other Big Game: Tennessee v. Cal
  • The Other Other Big Game: FSU v. Clemson

What’s that you say? Who won last year? Well, that would be Sed!

Week 1 Picks (now in easier to format lists!)

  • domer.mq: ND 42, Cal 55, FSU 30 – QB: Cal
  • Biscuit: ND 31, Cal 69, Clem 41 – QB: Cal
  • Sed: ND 27, Cal 48, FSU 24 – QB: Cal
  • Sed’s Dog: ND 45, Tenn 45, Clem 45 – QB: Tenn
  • ChisND: ND 49, Cal 35, FSU 42 – QB: FSU
  • Bad Kermit: ND 31, Tenn 45, FSU 27 – QB: Tenn
  • The Bear: ND 70, Tenn 54, Clem 27 – QB: GaTech
  • DNeelan: ND 30, Cal 40, FSU 28 – QB: FSU

In case you care, here are the rules for the 2007 Version of the Expert Picks

  1. domer.mq picks 3 games each week. On weeks when ND is playing, the ND game is considered “the big game.”
  2. The experts then choose the winner of each game, the total points scored in each game, and which of the 6 teams’ quarterbacks will have the highest total passing yards.
  3. Selecting the winner of a game correctly will result in +10 points.
  4. Selecting ND to lose, and being correct about it will result in +30 points and the loss of your friends forever.
  5. Selecting ND to lose and being incorrect will result in -50 points. Hey, it should hurt just that much more.
  6. Each expert will predict total number of points scored by each team in a game. Guessing the total score within +/-7 points will result in +10 points. Within +/-10 points total score will result in +5 points. Anything outside that range will result in 0 points awarded.
  7. Selecting the correct QB will result in +15 points.

    Sed’s Dog and Kermit aren’t the brightest…Ainge has a broken finger. Good luck with your bonus pick bitch.

    And to you too, Sed’s dog.

    The Cubs are 1.5 games up in late August. I’ll have more time to worry about football after October. Unlike you, Pirates fan.

    Hmm, broken finger you say? What’s that, he still led all this week’s QBs in passing? Stop doubting my skillz Biscuit.

  6. Bad Kermit

    Yeah, Biscuit. You had me doubting for a minute, and then I remembered you’re an idiot.

    Woof, woof, bitches.

    Except for the ND loss, i was MONEY this week. Within 7 points for all three games. Not sure where the QB race ended up though.

    I didn’t think Ainge would play – the reports were misguiding. Sorry Kermit.

    You’re still a bizzo though.
