The college football season is right around the corner and that means that one of Leader Publications' best-read features is gearing up for another season of prognosticating.
The Football Forecasters are set to return the first week of September.
This year we are increasing our panel to 12 members.
We have 11 members already in the fold, but this year we are offering one of our lucky readers a chance to join the forecasters and prove that they are as good as they say they are.
Most of our forecasters have been doing it for years and all of them constantly hear from our readers how much better they are than the panel.
Now it's time for them to put their money where their mouth is.
The Dowagiac Daily News and Niles Daily Star are both taking names of possible forecasters to fill that 12th position.
It's simple.
All you have to do is contact us by Aug. 22 at 782-2102, ext. 19, 687-7703 or e-mail your name and contact number to scott.novak@leaderpub.com. or erika.pickles@leaderpub.com
The final Football Forecasters, one for each paper, will be chosen in a random drawing on Aug. 23.
The winner will be notified by telephone.
There is nothing quite like walking through town and talking with our readers about our picks for the coming week or what our records are for the season.
So, if you are a huge college football fan and think you can beat our collection of "experts," then toss your name in the hat.
You won't be sorry.
