Colsaerts will be on the team Jrod. Old Paddy might be playing his way on to it. He should be on it as well. If I were the Euro Captain, I'd pick Colsaerts, Paddy, IJP, & Freddie Jacobsen. Jacobsen can flat out putt. He's also proven that he can handle the stage. I also think the Euro's win this one quite easily. I don't think DL3 is going to be a good Captain. I think too much of him thinks he could play in it.

Don't the Euro's only get 2 picks with 10 auto selections? I thought I saw that earlier.

Super Tuna is right. So TC, only pick 2 guys!
 
I have a hard time not making a note to slap Jrod in 3 weeks in Des Moines. You and TC should move to Europe. Live in a flat together....punks. :at-wits-end:

I smell an avator bet needing to be made between you three either on your rounds in des moines or the ryder cup.
 
I think Paddy should be on the team, he is playing great this year

Colsaerts and IJP.

What if Colsaerts wins and get in automatically? Kaymer and IJP or Paddy and IJP?
 
The US will win this.

I'd happily gamble my avatar rights in des moines.

I'm sure you would. You'd also look great with a big old Bubba Watson goofy grin smiling face avatar for a while. But you won't find a bet here. I don't believe in betting.

I'm a homer and proud of it. I root for the home team, not some smelly Euros.

It will be be very close I feel. I do think that even with the way the Euros have been playing that somehow, someway, the US will pull it off on home soil, just as the Euros did on theirs. Just a feeling.

I am rooting for America but I think Europe wins.
 
I'm a huge US homer in this as well but I fail to see how anyone can say either team will win at this point. It's like predicting a Super Bowl winner. 2 great teams and it'll basically come down to who wants it more. Nobody knows how DLIII will captain and nobody knows how the Euros will respond to Ollie's either. I think it's a crap shoot. Nothing will surprise me with this outcome. The US could stomp the Euros and I wouldn't be surprised and it could be a Euro style beat down on the US and that too wouldn't surprise me.

I don't think Ollahobble can captain them. He's like imitation crab meat Seve.

We're brothers again but I'm going to disregard that last part. I see the I'm rooting for America only. :D

He's trying to be realistic and objective. He may have joined the media. Jake, you and I are head butting homers. Go USA!

Kevin
 
P4B, unlike the Superbowl (for the most part), there is home course advantage. The crowd played a part in the Euros' previous victory and they will have a say in this one. It's what makes the Ryder Cup so awesome IMO. Teams fighting for each other with ravenous fans swarming about. I know it's difficult to predict, but I do think that the US is steaming from their previous loss and the crowd will help them along.

I tend to think this as well but it's hard to say really. Hell for all we know he could be golden out there and rally his boys to a huge win. I see more of a Nick Faldo kind of captaincy from him though.
 
But then again, I'd be a socialist commie if I could. I just want to see Lee destroy and Tiger get destroyed. I don't really care who wins.

Good point, the crowds will be wild and crazy behind the US for sure. I can't wait to see that. I am kicking myself for not pulling out all the stops to go but I'd choose a THP Tour Van outing 10 days before every day of the week.
