  • 3 Months till the start of the 7th Annual "College Game of the Week" Contest

    Wont be long now Folks, and there are a LOT of unanswered questions concerning this years upcomming contest. In terms of populartity, last year was the best year ever, the contest averaged OVER 1000 hits per week, ALL 13 Weeks (Over 2000 hits per week the first 2 weeks). So ALL you "Haters" out there, XBIG aint goin NOWHERE! I WILL BE RUNNING THE CONTEST AGAIN THIS YEAR!

    First, will the winners jinx continue this year. Chances are last year's winner Wisconsin5473 will flop, so follow him at your OWN RISK!

    Will Theboys EVER get his MOJO back? If you FADED him last year, YOU made major bucks, his record was 1-12, quite IMPRESSIVE!

    Will Xbigpappa EVER win the contest? I came close in the 2008 Contest, going 10-3.

    Can Xbigpappa go the complete season without making a mistake scoring the weekly results?

    Will someone post their plays AFTER the 10:00am CST deadline then Bitch about me not counting there play? (Heart Attack)

    Will my facebook buddies Dave Cokin and Scott Spritzer ACCEPT my challenge and join the contest to compete against some of the Bettorsword Allstars?

    Friends, stay tuned to this thread throughout the summer as I will be updating with interesting info about the contest. Feel free to add comments info and suggestions as you please. AGAIN THE RULES WILL REMAIN THE SAME THIS YEAR JUST LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN THE PAST SIX YEARS!

        I'll take "No" for the limit, please. Might take me a couple weeks to raise the 300 million though.

                          2009 College Football Game of the Week weekly Hits

                          Week 0 2147 hits

                          Week 1 2096 hits

                          Week 2 1537 hits

                          Week 3 1267 hits

                          Week 4 1445 hits

                          Week 5 1448 hits

                          Week 6 1487 hits

                          Week 7 1332 hits

                          Week 8 1594 hits

                          Week 9 1190 hits

                          Week 10 1245 hits

                          Week 11 1087 hits

                          Week 12 1084 Hits

                          Evidently some one is looking at these plays during the course of each week. I remember when i first started the contest back in 2004, I was luck to get 100 hits per week. If Jeff ever decides to charge peeps to view these plays, he would make a killing. I suspect the contest will average over 1500 hits per week this season.
