From Other Games last week:

WEEK THREE PICK 'EMS

Remember, I'm representing the spread next to the team favored to win by the number of points in parentheses next to them. You decide if that team will win by more than that amount of points (i.e., they'll "cover" the spread) or whether you think they will either win by fewer than that amount of points or just outright lose (either of these would be a "no cover" scenario). If you have questions, ask!

Rules:

1. 1 Point for every COVER/NO COVER pick you make correctly.
2. The Person with the highest total that weeks gets 3 bonus points.
3. Ties to determine who gets the bonus points will be based upon the MOV game. This week, it's Air Force vs. Michigan State. For those who are tied, we'll look at their MOV pick. Closest gets the bonus points.
4. If two people pick the same MOV, then no one gets the bonus points. HOWEVER, if people are off from the MOV by the same amount, but one went high and the other went low, then The Price is Right rules apply, and the person under the actual MOV gets the bonus points.

Example: If the MOV in the game is actually 18, and one person guesses 20 and the other 16, then the person who guessed 16 gets the tiebreaker and the bonus points.​

RIP Gondo

 

[BertramCooper]

Since we have a couple of mods in CFB-GAF, I do hope you have a discussion with Evilore over this and can talk some sense into him.

Gondo is a great dude and has been a tremendous GAF member. His permanent dismissal from this community for a 100% justifiable post is disgraceful.

 

[andycapps]

Yeah, I mean I'm not trying to backseat mod, but I didn't really see that as being worthy of a permaban. I've said much worse on GAF and not been banned yet. Granted, I didn't say it to the owner.

We miss you, Gondo!

Yahoo! Pick 'em Results and Musings

This week's winner of the Yahoo Pick 'em was inexplicably Affeinvasion's Know How with 107 points. I'd like to thank the real Jesus who still loves ND and apparently went on vacation for the 2012 season.

Randolph's Free Land is still in first place overall with an impressive 219 points. Gig 'Em is in second place with 209 points despite going full Aggie this weekend. Texas Seminole Exes are in third place with 202 points.

Bucknuticus leads all players who decided to quit because of completely legitimate reasons like "the interface is even harder than finding a starting quarterback on a championships winning team."

 

[AntoneM]

We only have one kind of OSU fan here now. I think one of the TTU guys has to switch,

That's the problem with pissing off the owner. He rules all. If he decides you offended him or upset him, off you go. He has done things like this multiple times before, which helped spawn multiple anti-gaf forums. In that same thread, people who responded to his fuck you with a fuck you back got nuked even harder apparently.

Based on how heated he got in that thread, I don't have high hopes for Gondo making it back.

 

[bucknuticus]

reminds me of bluemax too

 

[BertramCooper]

I don't expect GAF to be a democracy.

But I do expect its owner to treat the site's members with respect - especially a member like Gondo who was justifiably pointing out (and not even rudely, in my opinion) that Evilore was being inappropriate.

 

[Battlezone]

Gondo, I hope you're reading this:

Your perma-banning was an absolute travesty. You're as solid of a poster as GAF has ever had.

CFB-GAF loves you, man.

Wait, what? What did he get perma'd for?

 

[Dsyndrome]

I've seen account deletions before but not so many in one thread. Since Gondo wasn't one of them, I'd say there's a very slight chance he's able to come back; I'm trying to think of a perma that's been overturned but don't follow that closely.

I know of one.. Was dropped from a perm to 6 months

 

[Ganhyun]

for daring to disagree with Evil in a thread where Evil was also openly telling members "fuck you".

 

[Balphon]

It turns out this guy was actually injured! He'll be out 6-8 weeks.

Still makes you wonder what sort of communication was going on between him and the sideline. It looks even weirder knowing he had an actual shoulder injury.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Nothing good happens in OT. Ya'll should know this, you ain't new

Yahoo! Pick 'em Results and Musings

Gig 'Em is in second place with 209 points despite going full Aggie this weekend.

I went from having the highest dropped week score to the lowest, not counting the zeros.

Was still worth it to see Tech beat Arky.

Repost for new thread -

Looks like the TCU starting DE arrest that was rumored a few weeks back has finally been made.

We only have one kind of OSU fan here now. I think one of the TTU guys has to switch,

There is only one TTU fan at the moment. Pristine has take his posting primarily to the Wrasslin' threads, I think. Hasn't been in here for quite a while that I can remember.

Hey everyone, this is my first post on here. Never thought there was a CFB community thread on GAF but this is great. I'm from Oklahoma, my mom is from Oregon, me and her are Oregon Ducks fans while my dad and brother are OU (Oklahoma) fans.

Can't wait to talk about the games this year with you all.

They need to start Barrett. And besides they started slow last year and got going at the end of the year, they are going to get their stuff together. I mean I am going to Oklahoma State next year so I guess I gotta start representing my future alma mater.
