Many of us could use a little distraction from refreshing twitter feeds, so BON management has asked that I form our official BON group for ESPN Bowl Mania Pick 'em. This contest is straight picks (not against the spread) with confidence factors. Join in the fun!

To enter:

1) Click this link:

http://games.espn.go.com/bowlmania/en/group?groupID=26884

2) Log in with your ESPN username and password, or create a new one.

3) Enter group password = bevo1 (you can join up to three groups, but this one will be locked once the bowl season starts) 

4) Complete your picks for all 35 games and rank them by confidence (35 = most confident). You can create an empty or partial entry now and continue to make changes until the deadline.

The deadline is kickoff of the first bowl game - this Saturday, December 18th at 1:00 PM CST. Invite your friends and rivals.

Good luck and Hook 'em!
