Please raise your hand if you wish to join the petition.

mememememememe

count me in

GO CANES!!!!

I'll second that.

As always, GO COCKS!! (especially today) wink

eh what the heck

Absolutely!

You Bet!

Considered me chimed!

Ring-a-ling! yes! One request, though, if we have pollsters this year, let's make sure to get more than 3 and to have them from different parts of the country.

I'll try anything once. I'm all for it.

Chime, chime, chime - Gay Goters!

ON, WISCONSIN!

Brrrrrrring!!!!!

I'm quacking in my signature for the petition.
GO DUCKS!

Do we have enough "affirmations" yet?

Gosh it's early for the Outsports CFB poll...usually it's done in August ... but I'm all up for having one done early =)

Yeah, Big Theta. But I thought it would be good to get a ground swell of support launched early in case Jim and Cyd were inclined to not do the poll this year. The poll is burdensome for the guys that run this board - someone loses a Sunday when they have to slap this thing together. And I figured that if we were going to whine like babies for the poll, its better to let 'em know how many people are interested very early, rather than very late (i.e. late August).

Scrambling to put something in place at the last minute is always awful, and it would be too much to demonstate the interest level at the last minute for an already burdensome project.

Oh yeah, I'm in again.

Hook 'em

DAMN YES ... and we should have a weekly top 20 studman poll on who are top 20 hot looking studs in college football!

Yes - I love those polls.

I'm in....


Go TERPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AU Tiger,

Remember when I took over those couple weeks when Cyd was on vacation (or was it Jim)? It really wasn't a lot of work if you know how to set it up correctly. If Jim or Cyd don't want to do it, I'll pick it up anyway. It was a lot of fun (and you wouldn't believe what some of the pollsters did).

Jim

Yeah!
Gig 'Em Aggies!

Jim,

Hear those NBC-style chimes? That's us, clamoring for another one of your fun polls!

Scalp THIS,

GatorJamie

Guys:

I am totally with y'all, we need another Outsports College Football poll this year. So lets make it happen. Let me know how I can help!!!

Exfballplayer (David)

Oh Jamie, I've got plenty of Trivia Questions in line, just waiting for the season to kickoff.

Jim

Bring it on!!! The Sooner, the better.

23 chimees so far. A quick look through the profiles might shed some light on our conference biases, or at least point out where we need some additional voices to make the poll more "balanced."

What conference is affiliated with your favorite team?
5 – SEC (Auburn 2, Arkansas, Florida, S Carolina)
5 – Undeclared (based on Outsports profiles)
4 - Big 12 (Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas, Texas A&M)
3- ACC (FSU 2, Maryland)
3 – Big East (Miami, Va Tech, WVU)
2 – Big 10 (Illinois, Wisconsin)
1 – Pac 10 (Oregon)

The SEC and Big 12 seem well represented. We are especially light on the Big 10 and Pac 10 side. Spread the word.

Those reported as "undeclared" were B Man, Copman, Munson Man, William1865Man, and George Viking Man. Man, that’s too many friggin "mans."

I'm too ready for the upcoming season ... which is my 15th year of doing college football rankings, even got my rankings ready, with my 7th annual "surprise" #1 to start, which is almost like an SI curse cause only North Carolina (my PS #1 in 97) finished in the top 5.

What kind of homosexual are you? Too many mans (sic)????? NEVER!

Jim
(FSU grad, UCF fan - does that mean I get counted for both ACC and MAC?)

Count me in. Michigan all the way this year.

Uh, yeah, sure, whatever. Especially if your bowl-game opponent's rookie coach makes some rookie calls and hands you the game.

wink

Ahem, I'm a Notre Dame alumni.

Consider me declared.

Hey hey...

Pittkid chiming in for.... no suspense here...

GOOOOOOO PANTHERS!!!!!!!

(with a sly side cheer for other schools like SC, and Purdue)

But gotta love dem Panthers....

later,

pittkid

I'd love to participate again this year. I've done it the last two years!!!
Go Red Raiders! Go Big 12!

No response from the boys in charge yet....

Hey Cyd and Jim, are you going to run a CFB poll like last year????

Jim

sounds interesting...always enjoy a good round of prognostication :cool:

although i have not a clue what to do(this is my first visit/post here) count me in!

Count me in. I'm going thru withdrawals waiting for the cfb season to start.

I offer some "mid-major" conference diversity and previous participation in two of the last years' polls. So I'd sure like to participate this year, too.

CSU is ranked 25th in the ESPN poll, so I'll vote for the Rams as long as it is warranted.

29 chimees now. So now we update.

What conference is affiliated with your favorite team?
5 – SEC (Auburn 2, Arkansas, Florida, S Carolina)
5 – Undeclared (you known who you are)
5 - Big 12 (Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas, Tex A&M, Tex Tech)
4 – Big East (Miami, Va Tech, WVU, Pitt)
4 – Big 10 (Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio St)
3 - ACC (FSU 2, Maryland)
1 – Pac 10 (Oregon)
1 - Conf USA (Colorado St)
1 - Independent (%#&!@ Irish) wink

Munsonman declared undying love for Notre Dame. And a new postee, jerseyguy, has replaced Munsonman in the undeclared bracket. Who do ya pull for, jerseyboi? Give it up.

Nice show from the Big 10. Pac 10 needs to pull up the gap.

And welcome to Outsports, buckeyefanphilly. That's a mouthful. Be aware that this board is crawling with Philly fans of some stripe or another. You'll love the neighborhood.

Count me in, too. My allegiance is with Wisconsin . . . wanted to pull the Big Ten into a tie for first.

Hey Tiger... As a UCF season ticket holder, I think you should count them as my allegiance team. Now CrocJamie, before you say anything, I am NOT abandoning my beloved Seminoles. I am just giving some well-deserved support to the Golden Knights. They don't get any from the local media, so I gotta help them out wherever I can. So move me from the ACC column and create a MAC column.

Jim

Jerseyguy is another Mountaineer!

Go Eers!!!!

LOL, Jim, just because I said once that you appeared to have more class than the average semi' doesn't mean that you have more sense. wink

Good on ya for supporting UCF. In recognition of your honorable gesture, but in keeping with rivalry, count me in as supporting the USF Bulls. A good buddy of mine is a recent USF grad, so that makes us both Bull Dykes!

Gator "Croc THIS" Jamie

Definitely Big 12....Longhorns, Sooners, Red Raiders...excitement and good football all over the place!

Love the Canes and the Rebels, but HATE the Big East.

"Hisss!" [Cat runs away]

That was a catty comment. Remember who jilted who? Miami will get whatever it deserves either via court or on a road trip to one of the victims' turf. I suspect the court case flops, but UM will lose ONE road game as they close out their B-East affiliation.

Count me in as well. I served as a pollster a couple of years ago and miss doing it! Gotta get some ISU love on the board!

we will have a poll this season and it will be better than ever. wait for details!

At last, we have affirmation. No need to continue the thread. I assume an email blast will be cascaded to those posting here and from the huge list of pollsters from previous years.

Thanks, Jim.
