Morning Cup O' Mud: Last Call For College Football Pick 'Em!


If you've been avoiding this place all week, and my constant tweeting, we're hosting a college football pick 'em here at TNB. If you're a somewhat compulsive gambler, or even just a college football fan, this game is for you. And we've got prizes!

We'll be dishing out gift certificates to the weekly winners and a much bigger gift certificate to the overall winner to GameDay Depot, where you can use your hard-earned cash towards team memoribilia! And quite frankly, with the amount of participants we have right now, you're almost guaranteed to win something at some point.

On to the morning links...
