Some of you may be wondering about my actual prediction knowledge and my forecast level. Well friends let me tell you what I have accomplished over the last few weeks in football.
Being a message board junkie, I have frequented many web sites of numerous teams and I have settled on a great board called "TigerDroppings," which is an LSU Tigers' message board. I found the message board last year before the National Championship game and have stuck around for the following reasons: The more sports board section features fans of numerous teams across the country. The bandwidth of the web site is greater then any other I know; the web site always loads instantly. The web site is very relaxed on what types of pictures and langueage you can use. And finally (to my point), they have easy to play Pick 'Em Contests. My username for the web site is "ohiosportfan777" and I am listed as an "Ohio" fan. Let me tell you how my picks are going so far. I apologize in advance that you are unable to see the entire games, but if you click on "View Results" you can go to the TigerDroppings web site and see all of my picks. You may also find out one contest I didn't do so hot in (it's a mystery).

Not too bad... let's look at NFL Pick 'Em
For some reason, one game has been dropped each week, so it's only out of 15 games, but regardless, my record would still be okay.

From my standpoint I feel very good about my college football status but I feel a little upset at my NFL picks. Obviously the goal is to finish first but I have a tough road ahead of me in both contests, and the slow starts certainly do not help. But hey, who wouldn't want to see and underdog win their contest?
I just thought I would show everyone how my picks are going, since after all, I am the "sports prognosticator." I'll try to keep everyone updated periodically on my status, and I'll let you know how I finish (whether it be good or bad).
Hope everyone enjoyed the sports and subpar graphics.
Arrivederci!
