Hey, U Pick ’Em!

Comments 0 | Recommend 0

Go head-to-head with the OA’s sports guys

Come on. Admit it. When you see our sports guys pick which teams are going to win the high school, college and professional football games, you wonder how you'd have done.

We do, too.

This season, we're giving you the opportunity to go head-to-head with our sports guys and see how you rate for the season. It's called U Pick 'Em.

And, there are two separate contests.

In both competitions, you pick from a dozen or more matchups each worth 1 point toward your final score. The last question asks you to pick the score of a game, and depending on how close you are to the actual score, it's worth up to 10 points.

Here's the best part - it's not just for bragging rights. You could win up to two prizes every week. For the top scorers locally, we're giving away an XM radio to the weekly winners. On the national contest, you could win a watch or a Fathead life-size poster of your choice (how about Jet Favre?).

Both contests are going now, and the first picks are due by TODAY. The local contest runs 11 weeks, and the national one for 22 weeks.

So, hit www.oavarsity.com now and let's see how you do! Choose wisely, some of us are playing, too.
