The Sports Buffet with Bob Alvis is here

Finally, the blog known as "The Sports Buffet with Bob Alvis" has begun. This blog will be used to discuss sports on the amatuer and professional level. You can also check out the pod-cast "The Sports Buffet with Bob Alvis" at http://thesportsbuffet.mypodcast.com/

The first edition of the blog is to announce an exciting new endeavor called "The Football Challenge". Each week high school coaches in the "Talking High School Sports, The Sports Buffet with Bob Alvis" and other notable personalities will pick High School football games (in the THSS, TSB with BA area) as well as selected college football games and the entire schedule of the National Football League. I will post picks here as well as the participants. Each week, participants may be added and at some point I may look into adding an additional pick 'em contest which would be a "Knockout Contest". This contest is to pick winners and winners alone. Very important to note, nothing is being wagered in this, from money to peanuts to crayons. There are no wagers. Entertainment only.

Here are the participants so far
