[2003 Season] pick the winner w/ odds... fun!!

Hubs,

It was an idea that crossed my mind... I frankly have not looked into what the costs would be...

I guess if it isn't too steep we could have something made and then the winner would pay to have their username put on the trophy... I guess I'm comfy with the usual suspects haveing it however down the road if some troll won, then what would we do...??

I'd certainly chip in towards a trophy. Might even be willing to chip in for a petrified turd or something for the last place spot as well, since I only missed that dubious distinction by one spot... :roll1:

gbear/everyone, I went down to the local awards shop and the trophies are really cheap. I am thinking since we are going to do a College Basketball Pick em for the tournament we wouldn't want a football trophy. That is unfortunate because they had one that looked sort of like the Heisman, but smaller, for only $13.00 (which was on the high-end of the spectrum) that had plenty room for names on it. I am thinking we should just go with some sort of Trophy Cup looking thing. Anyone have any thoughts? And if a cretin does happen to win it, we just won't send it :wink:.

Wouldn't we want one for football and one for bball?

That is why I wanted to talk to you guys. I thought abotu that, but wasn't sure what everyone wanted to do. If we are having separate let's throw out what we wanted the inscription to say this year.

If there's enough room, perhaps what we do is put something generic, and then each year have the name of the winner put on it. A bit like the rivalry trophies (big brown jug, etc.) that way. But maybe that's too much hassle. Dunno, I'm open (as is my wallet) to just about anything.

The base is rectangular with two longer sides and two shorter side. On each side I think we can fit two names on it (so technically this trophy would be good for 8 years worth). Something like 2003 Pick'em Champion - Bucknutty (not nescesarily that, but just an idea).

Ohhhh, right... BuckNutty won. Well I'm out!

Wait a sec. What's that all about?? :sad:

lol, you made my wife feel bad with the sad face, so I just got jabbed in the ribs. What's she doing reading over my shoulder anyway? Snoop.

You missed the all-important "har har har", or maybe you didn't and you wanted to get me in trouble. :wink: Either way. I'm still just glad I avoided dead-ass last place.

To be serious for a moment, I'm personally for 1 FB and 1 BB trophy, and I really like the idea of adding people's names and/or nicks to it each year if possible. But as I said before, I'm still open to whatever the consensus is. Just let me know where to send the $.
