The Daily Gopher "caption this" contest
This is going to be a two part contest and will then obviously have two winners. Would you like to know what you are playing for?
The winners will receive a brand new copy of The College Football Book done by Sports Illustrated, reviewed here. This is a very cool book and if you enjoy college football you'll appreciate this. Maybe I can get it to you in time for Christmas for yourself or to give to that someone special in your life.
Anyway this will be a two part contest.
1. For new members. Sign up now to become a member of Daily Gopher. The 250th NEW member (I'm not telling how many we have) will recieve a copy of this book. All it takes is an e-mail address and it is pretty simple. In the upper left corner, just under the TDG logo click on sign up and follow the instructions.
2. The "Caption This" contest - see the picture below and in the comment section tell us what the caption should be. Be creative, be funny, be serious, whatever. PJS and I will vote on the winner. If we can't agree we'll put it to a vote.

Go...
