Welcome to dirty-dawg 2017!By: Sugar (August 5)Welcome back dirty-dawgers! It is already August and most of you know that means it is almost the best time of the year, otherwise known as football season. dirty-dawg.com is back with another season of the best football contests on the web. Our contests remain free and come with a heavy dose of sarcasm at no extra charge. Our 18th year on-line will kick off on Labor Day Weekend, Saturday September 2nd with the original dirty-dawg contest, our College Football Confidence Contest (CFCC). If you prefer a more difficult challenge, then you will have to wait an additional week for the big boys to kick off the NFL on Sunday, September 10, which will also be Week 1 of our Pro Football Confidence Contest (PFCC). The Amway Coaches poll was released this week for the upcoming college season and it looks like something out of 1972. The top 10 teams are the same teams that finished the 2016 season in the top 10, just in a slightly different order. Can Clemson repeat without Deshaun Watson? Their defense is pretty good. Some of my Crimson Tide connections inform me that the talk around Tuscaloosa indicates that Alabama shouldn't lose a QUARTER this year. I guess we will see about that. Does Michigan belong in the top 10 after graduating 17 starters? Is the PAC-12 the surprise conference of the season? Can Tom Brady still play football at 40. Why is the word 'German' never uttered in the movie Dunkirk? Most of these questions will be answered by the time January 2018 rolls around. The more important questions are, can Aidan Binau and Joe Kunches repeat as CFCC/PFCC Champions? That has never been done before. Will another group other than Bucknutz or Florida Dummies win CFCC group play? Carolina Crushers crushed the competition in PFCC group play last year. Can they do it again? Will they even try? This will all be fun to watch. So, the group slates have been cleared and are ready for all of you to create your new groups for 2017. Remember, you have to have 5 players to be active and be part of the weekly standings. The other thing we ask this time of year is to recruit new players. The most fun at the beginning of every season is watching the new dawgs lose 15, 14, 13 on their sure picks during Week 1, isn't it? We will shoot out a couple of reminders before the CFCC kicks off Labor Day weekend. Until then, brush up, and get ready to roll for dirty-dawg 2017, welcome back! |
