PrintThe ATQ Jersey Contest is back for another year. Are you ready for a chance to win an Oregon jersey? And, more importantly, to join posters buffduck(2008) and jteubs (2007 - after a tiebreaker) in the annals of ATQ glory? All that you have to do is participate in our weekly picks contest and finish the year with the highest number of correct picks. The first week will begin next week. If you're interested, make sure to check out the complete rules after the jump. Please note that there may be some subtle changes from the first two years -- I have tried to bold those changes. Also, I have tried to formalize a lot of the rules. If anything is unclear, please post in the comments.
Weekly Picks: Your picks are due by 11.59 pm PT on Friday each week. Thus, the contest will only include games that are played on Saturday or Sunday. I will post the five games each week on Monday. Your picks should be left as comments in that thread. Your picks may be changed up until the Friday deadline. If you do change your picks, please do so by replying to the comment in which you made your original picks. This will make my bookkeeping much easier. Generally, the picks will be simply picking the winner. However, I reserve the right to also choose games where you will be picking against the spread. If I do, the spread will be chosen and posted on Monday with the games. The spread will not move once I have posted it. Finally, though it will put you at a disadvantage to miss any picks, it is not necessary to make your picks every week. That is, you will not be disqualified if you miss or forget to make your picks during a given week.
Contest Duration: The jersey contest will span the regular season, culminating with week 14, which will include the conference championship games. In the event of a tie, the tiebreaker will include a pick'em for the bowl games.
Tiebreaker: In the event of a tie after the 14 weeks of the regular season, bowl games will be used to determine a winner. If necessary, further tiebreakers will be included as needed and may include predicting the total score of the BCS championship game, predicting the number of turnovers in the BCS championship game, etc. The format and substance of all tiebreakers will be at my discretion.
Eligibilty: All ATQ members are eligible, except for contributors to the blog. Simply log in and make your picks each week.
Prize: The winner of the contest will receive an Oregon jersey of their choosing, within reason. And, by reason, I mean our reason. I don't think we can get a hold of Kenny Wheaton's game-worn jersey from the 1994 UW game. Sorry. The winner will be contacted via the email listed in their profile after the contest concludes.
Blogger picks: By Friday, the blog will also post blogger picks for the weekly games, which will include our own picks along with our brief thoughts on the games. Feel free to ridicule our picks. Except for Jared's, who has finished no worse than tied for first in the contest the last two years running.

Great Contest
I can’t wait to defend my title as well as wear my “Lights Out” Blount jersey for the BSU game. Thanks ATQ for running this thing.
Yeah, nt, thanks for doing the heavy lifting. It’s a lot of work and we appreciate you putting in the time.
Last time I checked, there is no "Hall of Average." - Oregon Football Coach Chip Kelly
I joined last year but didn’t do the jersey contest. I’m in for sure this year. I just keep waiting for our IS staff to block the site because I spend so much time on it during work. I will quit.
I have the white Chung jersey, the Blount “Lights Out” jersey (picked up from G.I. Joe’s during their going out of business sale for TWENTY BUCKS), the green with black sleeves J.J. jersey, the black with green sleeves J-Stew jersey, and my Harrington jersey that I bought in 2001. It’s still in pretty good shape too.
I want to get ahold of, in this order:
1. 1995 Rose Bowl jersey
2. 1996 jersey (green, yellow numbers, yellow swoosh)
3. 2009 yellow wing
4. 2009 green wing
Believe it or not I’m not a big jersey guy…the only other jerseys I own are a LaDanian Tomlinson powder blue, and a Rudy Fernandez black.
Thanks for putting this together. If you guys need any help with tracking results or anything I can help out.
"Now, with that said, the stadium is going to be much, much louder this year because the windows are into the boxes and in my judgment based on what I heard last fall and what I see, I don't think there's going to be a louder stadium in the country.

I want a white or green diamond 10 jersey. I want that Dixon jersey.

It’s no problem — I enjoy doing it. Except for the weeks where the only remotely “interesting” games are ACC games. But, that’s why I’ll be including the spread on some games.
If you need me to do you a solid any week, feel free to ask.

Hopefully this involves some sort of chug-off.

I got that one today
Should I take my chances.
Hi, my name's Connor and I am addicted to College Football
All I know is this.
I’m beating Quinn this year. That’s a stone cold guarantee.
It's spelled "T-A-K-I-M-O-T-S-C-H-M-O-E."
I support inroywetrust in his support of The VD Special in his support of me supporting Roger Kieschnick in his quest to becoming the best Kieschnick ever to play professional baseball.
I was pretty competitive up until the very tail-end last year.
Watch out with those guarantees, Tako.

oh I know. But this is 2009. And I’m feeling bold.

WOO WOO
Its the most wonderful time of the year!!!!
SWEET!!!
Time to let my loathing of certain schools/ conferences torpedo my better judgment right into the doldrums of the rankings. I can’t wait!
It wasn't the first time I'd been kicked in the cherries and called a rat by a woman, but it was the first time I didn't mind.
Oh goody.
If I win, I want a game warn Herman Ho-Ching jersey, from one of the games where he inexplicably coughed the ball up on the goal line.
Don’t worry though, I won’t be playing. I don’t want to steal this opportunity to snag a free jersey from people who would actually want it with my amazing picking skills. That’s not me. I’m nice like that.
I dont’ think you could even get close!
Yeah! Smack talk! Go me! Whoo!
"It’s spelled S-H-U-T-U-P-I-M-S-M-A-R-T-E-R-T-H-A-N-Y-O-U"
Oh man. Your smack has me soooo simultaneously pissed off and pumped up it's crazy!
Just for that, you get a back rub from THIS guy:
Damnit Arby, I just threw up on my keyboard. Now I have a puke computer. A compuketer, if you will.

He looks a little like a Tyranasaurus Rex

If you win, I think I'd be down for buying you a Quizz jersey.

Way ahead of ya!
You know I love you Arby. Don’t take it personal.

I give it two meh's WAY up...
It should read something like, “We were tired of winning them anyway…”
It's meant to imply it was manufactured prior to the game,
But yeah I could’ve taken more time on it. I could tell you were eagerly awaiting though.

I'm eagerly awaiting 5 PM.
But yeah, the possibility that I would hear yet another CW barb kept me coming back. You remember the feeling, right?
In reference to the '07 game?

I don't remember what happened in that one.
Was that the one with Dave’s “Paul Martinez: No One Have Sex With This Man Until Further Notice”?

Jersey
If I win a 2009 jersey, I’ll remove the gladiatorial feathers, paint it a more emerald green shade, and find some yellow pants with a normal stripe on the side to go with it.
