Mr. Ypsi,

How do the pickems work/ where are they posted?  I'd like to give it a shot.

Most football teams are temperamental. That's 90% temper and 10% mental

In Post Patterns (football section of these boards) there is a section called General football.  If you click on that, you will then find Pick-Ems, etc.  at the top.  Click on that, and then go to the MIAA Pick 'ems page.

Here is also a direct link to that page:

Filled mine out, who keeps track of the points? Do we keep track on our own or do you handle it Mr. Ypsi?

Go Trine!!!

I calculate 'em and post 'em, though the wise poster will double-check my accuracy! :D

Im going to go out on a limb and say this is probably the nicest weather to the start of any camp I have ever experienced!  Those boys are pretty dang lucky on the field with mid 70's rather than the 100 degrees of a couple weeks ago!

Mr. Ypsi,

Thanks for your work, I'm excited about the pickems.

You're exactly right, the weather has been fantastic for those guys. I hope they're enjoying themselves.

Go Trine!!!

To those of you familiar, do posters normally normally rise and fall with the success of a school?

When Alma is hot, do they have a bunch of Scots on here yacking it up and vice versa?

Top teams (perennially or just occasionally) always yield more posters on pretty much every board.

But d3boards has only been around for a dozen or so years - when was Alma ever hot?  (Sorry, but being a Titan, and September 10th approaching, had to start the trash talking! :D)

I hope to make it to Alma for the game (have already picked out the campground for my RV), but might not make it.  My folks recently celebrated their SEVENTIETH!! anniversary, and we'll have a family reunion in Illinois sometime in early September, but exact date currently unknown (depends on arrival of my oldest brother and sister-in-law from California).

IF I make it, which posters could I count on meeting?

BTW, it is still three weeks 'til the first game and we already have nearly as many pickems pickers as ever before!  Go ahead and make me work (I'm retired; I can handle it ;)) how does 30 or 40 MIAA pickems contestants sound?!

And getting a fast start is important - once MIAA play begins, usually everyone picks the same on all but at most one game. :P

Thank God (or Mr. Ypsi 8-)) for those 'games of interest'! ;D

Mr. Ypsi,

In your experience, when has the MIAA board been at its best? If you could pick a season where you had a lot of posters firing away on the board, which season would you pick?

I appreciate you organizing the pickems, and I love the games of interest. I can see how during MIAA play everyone may go with the same squads and the games of interest could really create the separation.

I just signed up for Arizona season tickets, so I'll be catching my football out west, but I still plan to stay active on this board, after all, without me - who would you guys have to pick on. ;D

Until last year the MIAA football board had always been rather slow.  There are several more regular posters now, most of them from Trine.
