    this would be better than a non pac 10 big 10 matchup they think I presume.

    Absolutely correct, as I previously posted.

    But it definitely will be a money boon regardless, even if it does take some luster away.

    So Bengal, if you have read the article, do you understand it to be that the Rose Bowl would choose the next best Pac-10 or Big-10 team, in the event they are chosen in the NC game? I read it to say they would pick a coalition team.

    Well good for the Rose Bowl.

    I can see it now. The Rose Bowl featuring #33 Ranked California vs. #3 Ranked Ohio State. Please we beg you to come out and watch it. We promise it won't be a blowout. Well at least within 24 points, we promise.

    Stupid jerks. Let them eat cake!

    Damn I hate when that happens to me....lol

    I just saw Fox Sports SW feature this dude from Houston (I believe), who made it as a 23 year old to the 2003 Poker Championship, and he said he started out with online games, I guess much like what you are doing.

    I think he earned 3.5 million in getting as far as he got. He would have been the youngest Poker champion ever at 23, but of course he didn't win. I think that Moneymaker guy won last year.

    this year they had over 2600 entrants @ 10k each. 1st place 5 mill.... 5th place 1.1 mill. not bad. 4 of the 10 at the final table qualified online from the same site moneymaker did. pretty sick. 2 of those 4 finished 1 and 2

    So is this the same thing you are playing? Or just for fun?

    That's what I meant. Eventually if you would keep qualifying we would have seen you on ESPN...correct?
