I'll give the answer.
In ancient times (several seasons ago), I grew weary of our sacred "Recruiting Forum Football Talk" threads getting filled up with 400 pages of the standard in game posts. "crap" "YES" "Dangit Dooley!" and the like. Hundreds of thousands of pages to weed through and you have no idea where any relevant information might be.
So I, Nick of Thailand, mounted upon my steed of justice... yeah, justice, and sought to restore order to the thread. Yea, though they were dark times, I sought to create a new thread... a bold new thread, in the same forum. At first, I was cautious... "Un-Official Pre-game thread" I called them. Would the mods smite me with indignant rage if I dared to create an official thread on the gall of my own presumption??? I dared not try, so it was unofficial, and it was released the week before the game, with a simple write up detailing the match-up and my predictions.
I shant lie... t'was hard times... year after year, posters would post in defiance in the Football Talk thread. We would beckon them, "Hark, hark, come into the pre-game thread." Some came. Some searched for dams, and none were found which could be given.
Last season, all but a few found this merry thread, and have used it to post in during the game. We are a few, jolly bunch, but by Todd... we... well, whatever.
So this season, I tested the strength of my testes, and found them to be cast iron. Oh yes, I took it upon myself to name this "Official". Not one jimmy has been rustled, and reportedly in Russia (this is unconfirmed) I have heard jimmies have actually become unrustled. If your jimmies are rustled, or have a tendency to be rustled, then perhaps this thread will be of service.
So... yeah, that's why this thread is here. I like to think of it as a service to mankind at large.
