2010 Pick 'Em Gauntlet: Now With Audience Participation

in Pick 'Em Gauntlet
21 comments
On the opening of the college football season, we bring back our vaunted pick'em gauntlet, albeit with a few changes. In years past, our writers were able to pick any game or teams they wanted. This year, we will be providing a list of six games each week -- five interesting games plus WVU's matchup -- and everyone will pick against the spread on those games. By doing this, it will make it much easier to tally up the wins and losses and keep this orderly from week to week.
It will also allow, for the first time, participation by you, the loyal reader. When you see the games listed, simply post your personal picks in the comments section. We'll keep track of the competition throughout the season. A winner will be crowned at the end and a prize awarded to the top scorer -- likely a WVU hat or t-shirt. It should be a fun way to 1) compete against each other throughout the long season, and 2) make fun of WVUIE97's game-picking failures.
Games, and our selections, are listed after the jump. Good luck!
UPDATE: About 1 hour left until kickoff. Better get those picks in ASAP!

The unofficial website promoting Noel Devine's 2010 Heisman Campaign is now fully functional, up and running. Our own DougityDog is one of the site developers. The pic links to the site and the press release is after the jump.
As for WVU's coal dust unis, they really are the hardest college football uniform I've ever seen, deliberately dark, sooty, and highlighted only by the yellow stripe representing the coal miner's lamp in the dark. In case the point was not made, the uniform contains a tribute to those killed in the Big Branch mining accident last year.
WVU will wear these against Pitt in the Backyard Brawl this season. If the matchup is settled based on intensity of uniform alone, Pitt is going to die.
EDSBS's (and SBNation's) Spencer Hall on the pure awesomeness of WVU's Pro Combat uniforms. Probably the best quote of the day, and yet another reason to believe Nike did us right with these threads.

Welcome, By-Godders, to the Shotgun/Throwdown, WVU's nationally recognized best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor and daily distractions. We're being brought to you today by Spendrups, in honor of today's Miss Throwdown.
We've reached Gamecon 2. Only two more days until our beloved Mountaineers kick off the 2010 season. I don't know about you, but I'm chomping at the bit. Several other teams kickoff tonight if you need a quick fix to tide you over. I've got lot's and lot's of coverage inside (the one thing bad about taking a day off of this). If you have any tips, suggestions or requests, you can send them to me by email or Tweet me. See you after the jump...
T-minus 2 and counting...

Noel Devine Left Off ESPN's Heisman Watch List
The mothership will look pretty silly at the end of the season when Devine is invited to New York.

Note: The program is supposed to start at 10 am, but the e-mail mentioned their website going live at 10:30 am. Honestly, I'm not sure if that means the webstream or the separate site only. Either way, I'll have a separate post, complete with my own photos, up this afternoon.
UPDATE: The unveiling video is now featured below (along with a poll to gauge your reaction). ENJOY!
