Good luck this year Pags. I am new to this site, but am looking forward to your insight this year.

Hey Pags, im very new to the site as well and look forward to the good things you are sure to bring to us all. I ve done a little bit of research early on here, and really like a couple plays early. Im sure it s way too early for you to come to a decision on these, but i like UTEP (+3), Mid Tenn (+5), and Miami OH (-3) on the opening night. Any thoughts?

Yes!! I have been waiting for you to go after this guy!!

I truly appreciate the work you do. I work a lot on college games and when I match up with your picks I feel pretty good about it. Thanks for your work!!

I remember one saturday last year when his plays went 11-0. Man thats immortal. Glad your back to yourself pags.

[shrax4]

Pags is doing us all a big favor. Let's try to keep him around.

[pags11]

chiguy,

thanks for posting...I haven't gotten a chance to study those games as right now I'm just watching a lot of tape from last year and finishing up reading my Phil Steele preseason mag, as well as searching for information on the net (not to mention planning on trying to fund my bookmaker and matchbook accounts)...I will try to give you some insight on those games as week one gets closer...good luck bud...

xyzky,

thanks very much...good luck with your capping as well this season...

cashflow,

I can remember an 8-1 week last year (counting weekday games), but sometimes I get in a zone and don't even look at a streak I'm on...thank you though...I'm glad to be back as long as we can keep things in my thread in control...good luck to you this season...

shrax,

thank you for recognizing that...I hope there are more posters like you as positive energy is the way to go!...good luck to you as well...

Pags, I am a new to this forum, and I love the fact that there are a few solid college players here.

Just looking at the first weekend games, are you surprised at any?

Some games have moved a lot. Utah/Michigan is now down at 3', any thoughts yet?

If I am indeed wrong, please accept my sincere apology. I certainly 'assumed' that you posted plays later in the week at the opening line, rather than on Sunday night. You say I'm wrong and that you instead post plays on Sunday night when you play them, and then provide write-ups later in the week.

If that is the case, please accept my apology. I'll actually go back and edit my original post now. I look forward to seeing your plays posted on Sunday night with writeups later in the week! Good luck this year.

[pags11]

thanks martin...still doing my research as of now, but I'll be sure to let you know...initially, the Michigan line seems low but I haven't researched it a whole lot and I don't see myself getting involved in that game...

[pags11]

hoja,

apology accepted...you will see shortly how everything is working and hopefully you can follow it...

[The HOFF]

Quick question Pags. How are you posting your plays? Are you going to keep one thread for your plays all year long, or will you post something like Pags Plays for 08-30-08? Thanks man.

[pags11]

hoff...the latter...each week I will start a thread "Pags' Plays" with the date of that week's Saturday games in it...GL to you...

[bearmz]

Pags, can you feel it? Is the blood boiling?
Yep, it's time bid the wife adieu, put the job on auto pilot, and park the old buttocks in front of the film and the world wide web.
I'm ready. Feel like a newborn splittin the lips again.

Here's to you and all on a having a great 2008.

[pags11]

bearmz,

good to hear from you my friend...thank you...you are right, it is that time of year...17 more days but it feels more like 70!...best of luck to you this season, I look forward to working with you...
