Posted twice.   John Picacio Posted on Tuesday, December 27, 2005 - 09:38 pm:    Double whew!!! Fun game. Rutgers is a gutsy team. ASU 45, Rutgers 40. Those guys just don't quit. Couple of observations on the pool....if my math is correct, AI and Dave made this their 28 point game. You guys are maniacs!!! What the hell were you thinking? THIS game was the one that you were MOST confident in?? Hey, I tip my hat to you. You got the win and that's all that matters. But that cracks me up that this was your 28-pointer. Congrats, fellas.   Lucius Posted on Tuesday, December 27, 2005 - 09:43 pm:    You are correct, sir. 28 pts. I thought I had blown 17 pts   John Picacio Posted on Tuesday, December 27, 2005 - 09:45 pm:    Fun night of football. I enjoyed that. See you guys tomorrow for more.   Lucius Posted on Tuesday, December 27, 2005 - 10:07 pm:    correction    By Lucius on Tuesday, December 27, 2005 - 09:22 pm: Lucius 147 Darren 126 AI 126 Jeff V 110 Minz 103 John P 102 Forrest 100 (1) Jeff F 89 Dave 86 Lynn 39 (21) JK 39 (9) JOSH 32   jeff ford Posted on Tuesday, December 27, 2005 - 10:14 pm:    Lynn has to get up early tomorrow for work, but we watched that last one to the bitter end. A much better game than I expected. Lynn was hoping rutgers might pull it out in the end. Jersey luck.   Lucius Posted on Tuesday, December 27, 2005 - 10:34 pm:    Sorry, Jeff, Lynn. It was great game.   Forrest Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 06:36 am:    Wow. Well, I only lost one point on that one, though the loss threw me back into the middle of the pack. AI and Dave should be pleased they pulled that off - well done! Rutgers does look pretty gutsy. I went to bed when it was tied 24-24 thinking that they would somehow pull it off. Ah, well, looking forward to the Wolverines spanking the Cornholers. Anyone pick NE?   Darren S. Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 07:54 am:    I have Michigan. I think the first game is the scary one. I went with Boise State. Back to work today so I'll only get to see the second half of Mich-Neb.   jeff ford Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 08:01 am:    Forrest: I got Boise State and Michigan tonight. Why Boise State? No clue. I look at this choice now and shake my head. Michigan I thought was a good one, no?   John Picacio Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 08:15 am:    Jeff: Don't get too down on your Boise State pick. It should be a very competitive ballgame, but the rub is the bowl game is happening on Boise State's home field. If you haven't witnessed this field with your own eyes, then be sure to don your Spectravision goggles and behold the Majesty That Is The Blue Turf. If you've seen it already, then you already own the optical scars. If you haven't, check it out if you dare. Don't adjust your television. I picked Boise as well because of that homefield. It's Dan Hawkins' last game as their head coach and that may be a bonus rallying cry for them, but BC will be tough, I suspect. And yeah, I've got Michigan in the second game. I've got very low points on both games, so I may get passed up a bit today, but that'll leave me lurking in the weeds for my big point games coming soon.   Alex Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 09:09 am:    I just couldn't take Rutgers seriously. Turns out I was almost way wrong, but what the heck...   Forrest Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 09:15 am:    Boise State/BC will be the more interesting game of the two. Michigan should trounce Nebraska. And that's OK, Alex, I can't take ASU seriously. I still can't . . . Most over-rated team of the past several years.   Lucius Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 09:40 am:    That ASU offense is as good as I've seen. Take them seriously or not, you put any kind of defense with that offense, and they could be great. That was a freshman qb, man. And he's not even the starter.   jeff ford Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 09:56 am:    Lucius: I think they said that it was only the 8th college game for the ASU qb. I was very impressed with him, especially in the latter quarters, of course. Rutgers came out like gangbusters but fell apart as I thought they might. Still, like Alex and Forrest said, the falling apart they did was as close to not falling apart as you can get. ASU's defense does need work. And it amazes me why these college teams don't use the screen pass more often for middle yardage, to make up first downs, etc. They started using it a little more in the latter part of that game last night, but it was pretty non-existent in the first half. Also, although the last ASU goal was successful, the pass into the endzone, it was a foolish play. You mean to tell me that they didn't have it to run the ball in from the 2 yard line? No qb sneak or power run? Foolish, but it worked. I guess that's the reason I'm not a college football coach. Thank christ for all involved.   Lucius Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 10:17 am:    That kid is gonna be great, he was making some awesome throws and was tough as corn beef hash. You don't see many teams run a QB sneak on the two yd line. That's not a high percentage play. And ASU didn't have a power back, so I'm not surprised they threw for it, especially consdering that most defenses sell out on the run in those situations.   Forrest Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 10:52 am:    Carpenter's got an arm, no doubt (and some mobility to boot). Except next year there's no Matt Miller or Derek Hagan to catch the ball. I dunno. When I see results commensurate with all the hype, maybe I'll change my mind. But people have been predicting a national championship off and on for them for a while now, and nothing's come of it. I'm not saying they won't be good next year, but after four in-conference losses in what many (you included, Lucius) claim to be a weak Pac-10, it's hard to believe that they can rock anyone's jock. I'll believe it when I see it. Given the low opinion most people had of Rutgers, ASU's close game doesn't register as earth-shattering either. I just get sick of the preseason ASU hype, followed by a fair-to-middling season. I can't buy the hype - not yet, at least.   Lucius Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 11:14 am:    You forgot to mention, accurate, He''s very accurate. I agree they've been overhyped, but gee, you seem to have gotten really worked up about it. All I said was, you put a defence with that offence, and they could be great. As for Rutgers, I came close to picking Rutgers in this game. The only reason I picked ASU was because if I picked Rutgers I would have had to slot them in my 17 slot, because that was the only place I had for them, and that's too much to risk on an underdog. If I had known about the ASU flu bug in time, I probably would have picked them. And lost.   JV Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 11:36 am:    That was a heck of a game. I felt bad for Rutgers, frankly. How about that Colorado quarterback they stuck in at the end of the Clemson game? I think my 28 points are on Michigan over Nebraska. JeffV   JV Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 11:37 am:    BTW--Explain to me the value of that stupid visual of the two coaches side-by-side during the Rutger's game, filling up a good fourth of the left side of the screen. Just so we can watch two guys pace, one with a clipboard...Jesus. And the commentary--fucking inane. JeffV   Lucius Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 12:00 pm:    It's Musberger, the drinking game guy -- what did you expect? Yeah, Ryan White looked real good. You'd think they might have made that move earlier.   John Picacio Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 12:43 pm:    Hey, JV -- I'm with you about that side-by-side...very pitiful. Listening to Bob Davie on color commentary during the Clemson/Colorado game was like water torture for the 21st century. Wow, I didn't realize how bad that guy really was until last night. How many times did he say the following: "I'm gonna tell you why that young man has such a bright future....because he's got game-changing speed." Thanks for the insight, hoss. You suck.   Forrest Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 12:47 pm:    Sorry if I came across too strong, Lucius. I'm just hatin' the hype. Plus I like the underdog, especially against an over-rated team that's not Wisconsin. Given a good defense, ASU could be great, you're right. And, you're right, he's very accurate, but you can also argue that Rutger's QB was fairly accurate . . . except for the one pick. Jeff: Inane commentary by college football announcers? What? Never!   Lucius Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 01:39 pm:    No worries in that regard, Forrest. The Rutgers guy was good, he didn't have an NFL arm and since the R defence was better, he didn't have to make many throws under fire.   Lucius Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 03:31 pm:    Well, this one's almost over. I'll forbear on posting the results until the 4th quarter...   Lucius Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 05:26 pm:    I was premature in my assessment, but the Eagles prevailed. Lucius 166 Darren 126 (9) AI 126 (1) Jeff V 129 Minz 103 (9) John P 102 (7) Forrest 117 Jeff F 90 Dave 95 Lynn 39 (6) JK 58 JOSH 32 (26)   Lucius Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 05:29 pm:    Let me put those in order: Lucius 166 Jeff V 129 Darren 126 (9) AI 126 (1) Forrest 117 Minz 103 (9) John P 102 (7) Dave 95 Jeff F 90 JK 58 Lynn 39 (6) JOSH 32 (26)   jeff ford Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 05:36 pm:    You know, I'm out of my fucking mind, cause I was saying before I had BSU and Michigan, but I actually had BC for 1 point and Nebraska. Lucius, of course, marked it right, but I was looking at Lynn's list of picks earlier. That's why I was so nonplussed by having picked BS. On the other hand, that only explains half of my fucked upedness, cause I now have Nebraska, but what the hell, they just scored 6 points. I'd have gone through both games without knowing what in gods name was going on if Lynn hadn't come home and told me what teams I actually had. Sorry for the confusion. And John, you're right, the Boise Blue field is a beauty.   JV Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 06:30 pm:    I think it's a sign of the End Times that I've clawed my way into second place. I don't think I've ever been higher than fourth any year in the past. If it lasts, expect to see Jesus on your street any day now. JeffV   Lucius Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 07:27 pm:    Well, hope he waits til the end of the pool. I'm still wondering when the favorites are gonna drop. Maybe tonight.   JV Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 07:33 pm:    I'm surprised Nebraska's hanging with Michigan. Maybe I shouldn't be. JV   Darren S. Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 07:49 pm:    I can't believe I come home from work to find JV has jumped me. AND Nebraska's acting like they're good or somethin'. Nice drive Michigan's having now though. Lucius, you're rocking. What you got on the current game?   Lucius Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 08:07 pm:    Michigan, I think I've got 22 points on it. It's actually Jeff who's rocking. He's only lost 1 game. I think Forrest and I and John P have lost two....as have you. Yeah, Nebraska's playing well, but Manningham and Breaston are sure good-looking wide-outs.   Lucius Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 08:12 pm:    These officials surely suck, though....   Darren S. Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 08:18 pm:    Yeah they are. And Mich coming on now. Yup, Jeff's rocking, and with 28 on Mich too. Cheers Jeff.   Lucius Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 08:41 pm:    27 on Mich for Jeff V.   Lucius Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 09:15 pm:    Read it and weep, Lucius 166 (22) Jeff V 129 (27) Darren 126 (25) AI 126 (22) Forest 117 (22) Minz 103 (23) Jeff F 104 John P 102 (5) Dave 95 (16) JK 69 Lynn 39 (22) JOSH 32 (24)   Lucius Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 09:18 pm:    Boy do those officials suck!   Darrn S. Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 09:20 pm:    Christ.   jeff ford Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 09:23 pm:    I even won on that one and I'll agree the officials really suck. Those time outs might have come in handy for M in the last quarter. Also, the cornhuskers have the most disturbing mascot -- that hydrocephalic guy in the cowboy hat. What is a corn husker anyway?   Lucius Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 09:25 pm:    We call em cornholers round here, pardner. Someone who husks corn, I assume.   Lucius Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 09:32 pm:    Forrest only had 21 points on the game.   MarcL Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 10:07 pm:    Damn, Jeff...so this is where you got to!   Lucius Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 10:16 pm:    yeah, ain't it beeyootiful!   JV Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 06:06 am:    Wow. What a waste of points. JeffV   John Picacio Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 07:19 am:    I've got high hopes for Ga. Tech today. On the other hand, I've got 1 measly point riding on Oregon today. Oregon/Oklahoma is a total tossup to me. I couldn't make heads or tails of this one. I think it's gonna be a terrific game. I'm not really sold on Oregon's 10-1 because of strength-of-schedule, but Oklahoma hasn't been Oklahoma this year. Thing about the Sooners is they were really banged up this year and Adrian Peterson should be healthy for this game, and Stoops is one of the best x&o coaches anywhere. Meantime, I wonder if Oregon has a hangover from not being in the BCS (see Cal v. Texas Tech last year in the Holiday Bowl). I think Oklahoma has more to gain from this game, yet despite all of that, I irrationally put one point on Oregon, because I'm hoping that there's some backbone to their 10-1 record. Looking at it now, I wish I would've picked Oklahoma. Should be a heckuva game!   jeff ford Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 07:51 am:    I'm just hoping I can keep straight which freaking teams I actually have today.   Darren S. Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 07:55 am:    I like Ga Tech and Oregon today. I don't think Oklahoma's played a helluva lot of competion either. It should be interesting. What they did against decent out of conference opponents -- TCU, UCLA -- wasn't too impressive. Of course that was early in the season.   Forrest Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 08:09 am:    It's not the loss of points that bugs me - it's that the cornholers won. I feel violated. I've got GA Tech for a few and Oregon for a few more. Oklahoma could pull it out, but I think that Oregon has the goods. And Utah is not the Utah of Urban Meyer.   John Picacio Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 09:12 am:    Hey, Darren -- Your point about Oklahoma's sorry play v. TCU and UCLA early in the season is right on. They got better and better as the season went along, and with a one-month layoff to heal key injuries, I think they're gonna be trouble today. Looking back, I think I took Oregon because Oklahoma had a loss to Texas Tech late in the season, and that loss confounds me. So that was the push that made me go Oregon. A Sooner loss is never a painful thing for me.   Darren S. Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 09:59 am:    John, yeah, that Texas Tech game was a baffler. One could argue either way in this one, I s'pose. Tonight will reveal who has the mettle. This from the paradigm of prognostication who thought Michigan would win by three touchdowns.   Forrest Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 10:36 am:    Darren, I think *all* of us who picked the wolverines thought it would be by three touchdowns . . . at least. And any team that John has designated as the "cousin humpers" has no chance of winning. The voice of Picacio has declared it!   John Picacio Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 02:12 pm:    The voice of Picacio declares, "I'm getting my ass kicked so far in this Ga Tech/Utah game." Ga Tech's defense looks like diahrrea. Someone wake up Chan Gailey and tell him the game started.   Forrest Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 02:23 pm:    yeah, their offense doesn't look so hot either, dude. They have the tools to win this one with aplomb, but they're just sucking right now. Hurry, John, call the Utes "cousin humpers" - it will assure our victory . . . or at least we'll have a good laugh while losing our reputations.   John Picacio Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 02:31 pm:    Blasted crimson cousin humpers.... There you go, Forrest. Let's see if that paves the road to victory for us. Long way to go, but long mountain to climb. Ga Tech must not have enough dinero in the athletic budget for good cleats today, because they keep falling down, and Utah keeps making plays.   Forrest Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 02:42 pm:    There we go - only two scores behind now. Phew!   Forrest Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 04:37 pm:    Hmm. Not quite enough. So who else will be losing points on this one?   Lucius Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 05:28 pm:    Lucius 166 -- 10 Jeff V 129 -- 25 Darren 126 --14 AI 126 -- 25 Forest 117 - 8 Minz 103 -- 22 Jeff F 116 John P 102 -- 22 Dave 95 -- 11 JK 69 -- 18 Lynn 42 JOSH 32 --12   Lucius Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 05:31 pm:    Sorry, people.....My internet's been out and it's still wonky. That said. Go cousin humpers!   jeff ford Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 06:02 pm:    The chicken's on the rise... (and I'm not doing too badly in the standings now either). But I'm afraid I bet the farm on Oklahoma -- the whole 28 point enchilada. Eeeeehaaaa. YY   Lucius Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 06:12 pm:    Slight correction: Lucius 166 -- 10 Jeff V 129 -- 25 Darren 126 --14 AI 126 -- 25 Forest 117 - 8 Jeff F 116 Minz 103 -- 22 John P 102 -- 22 Dave 95 -- 11 JK 69 -- 18 Lynn 42 JOSH 32 --12   Forrest Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 06:16 pm:    That might not be a bad thing, Jeff. This one looks close so far.   Lucius Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 06:18 pm:    Jeff, congrats on the streak. You're doing better than some Minzes I know. Me, I'm coming back to the pack. Thankfully, I didn't risk many points.   JV Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 06:53 pm:    JeffV: What the f--- were you thinking, Evil Monkey? Pickin' Georgia Tech. Were you nuts?! Evil Monkey: I get all my tips from the chicken. I think he fed me some misinformation.   Lucius Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 08:58 pm:    Lucius 177 AI 151 Jeff F 144 Jeff V 129 -- 21 Darren 126 -- 15 Forest 117 - 15 Minz 109 John P 102 -- 1 Dave 95 -- 7 JK 69 -- 13 Lynn -- 39 --18 JOSH 32 -- 13   Lucius Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 09:01 pm:    AI and the chicken closing in...   John Picacio Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 09:06 pm:    Well, Darren....sorry I was right. I was hoping you'd be able to laugh at me and say what a fool I was to worry about Oklahoma. Wish I was such a genius, when I made my picks though. Oh well. The good news is I only lost 1 measly point in the deal. The bad news is I'm on a 4-game losing streak here with two iffy games tomorrow. Yuck. Oklahoma over a 10-1 Pac-10 team and Nebraska over a Big Ten Michigan team that was supposed to murder them...the Big 12 may not suck as bad as some folks thought...   Forrest Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 09:11 pm:    Well, I'm sinking into mediocrity. The chicken has passed me by. Ah, tomorrow's another day . . . another losing day, in all likelihood.   Lucius Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 09:19 pm:    I knew you'd say that, John. The Mich game was the Loyd Carr Factor and This game was against a mediocre team from a weaker conference. If Texas wins I'll give em props, but.... There are three games tomorrow -- Peach, Sun, and Independence. The Sun Bowl starts at 11 on CBS.   jeff ford Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 09:22 pm:    What the hell was the problem with Oregon's center? I know the uaual quaterback was out, and that they had a nose man on him, but, come on... The guy looked like it was his first game of the season. Anyway....Irvine, I'm closing in slowly but surely like the claw of the lizard king.   Lucius Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 09:29 pm:    The center was built too low to the ground. They ought to work on that for next season.   John Picacio Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 09:41 pm:    Woe to all, for the wrath of the Chicken is mighty. I forgot there are four games tomorrow and not just two. I've got Minnesota, UCLA, South Carolina (I feel confident with the ol' ball coach here), and Miami (good pick, but low points, and I wish I had banked many more points on 'em now that Jamarcus Russell is out for LSU). I'm nervous about Minnesota and UCLA. Two schizo teams right there. I hope Miami/LSU lives up to its potential. Should be a great ballgame. I hope the Miami team that played Va Tech shows up tomorrow and not the team that slept thru the Ga Tech game. Jekyll and Hyde. I'll be watching Miami's O-line. If they dominate, it's Canes all day long. Should be fun.   Darren S. Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 10:17 pm:    Props, John. I'm on a 4-game losing streak myself, and I'm not sure tomorrow's going to provide any instant karma. I've got Minn, UCLA, South Carolina, and LSU (). The big points on South Carolina.   Lucius Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 11:26 pm:    I got Virginia, Ucla, the Gamecocks, and the U, and I don't have a clue about any of 'em!   Lucius Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2005 - 11:33 pm:    I got Virginia, Ucla, the Gamecocks, and the U, and I don't have a clue about any of 'em!   Lucius Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 07:04 am:    Well, it's been fun ruling, but I think the lead changes hands today. I can't believe I picked UCLA, I can't believe I picked Miami. Virginia...don't make me laugh! Oh, well. I'm ready for ignominy.   Darren S. Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 07:07 am:    Prepare yourselves, Jeff, Jeff, Alex, and Lucius, to be overtaken. I have 5, 6, and 8 points riding on three of today's games!   Josh Rountree Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 08:17 am:    Wait, we were supposed to pick the WINNERS?? Sigh...   Lucius Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 08:22 am:    Now that's funny! Cheer up, Josh! You''re probably still in it!   Forrest Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 08:27 am:    John, you and I are on the same page, except I wasn't so confident about South Carolina - I've only got 12 points on them, even though they were my highest confidence pick of the day. There's a lot of iffy games going on today. If I can move up just one spot, I'm feeling pretty good about my chances. I'll shoot up to the top by the end of all this, thanks to my sad, sad BADgers, the South Florida sloppy-seconds recruiting, Georgia on my mind, and an unstoppable Penn State.   Forrest Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 11:47 am:    Wow, Drew Olsen is making some incredible passes . . . to Northwestern. And MN/VA is a good game!   jeff ford Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 12:11 pm:    Good Christ, I'm on the edge of my seat with this virginaia game, on which I think I only have like 5 points, and meanwhile I just noticed UCLA is going down for doughnuts 22 to 7 already in the other game. 4 games today? Mommy, make it stop.   Lucius Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 12:21 pm:    Lucius --186 AI 151 -- 23 Jeff F 149 Jeff V 138 Darren 126 -- 5 Forest 117 - 7 Minz 109 - 24 John P 102 -- 11 Dave 95 -- 15 JK 69 -- 14 Lynn -- 54 JOSH 46   Lucius Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 12:24 pm:    Five games on Monday, jeff. And a good game. Virginia, to my surprise, wins a close one.   Forrest Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 12:31 pm:    Glad I only put 7 on that one. My, that was a surprise. Big Ten isn't looking so hot . . .   Lucius Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 12:33 pm:    UCLA just tied NW. Big Ten...yeah.   Lucius Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 03:09 pm:    Lucius -- 200 Jeff F -- 167 AI 165 Jeff V 149 Darren 134 Forest 126 Minz 109 - 21 NW John P --123 Dave -- 103 JK -- 93 Lynn -- 72 JOSH -- 61   Lucius Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 03:11 pm:    OOPS! Lucius -- 200 Jeff F -- 167 AI 165 Jeff V 149 Darren 134 Forest 126 John P 123 Minz 109 - 21 NW Dave -- 103 JK -- 93 Lynn -- 72 JOSH -- 61   Josh Rountree Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 03:14 pm:    Whoot!! I've nearly doubled my points in one afternoon! Hang on...I'm still in last place.   Lucius Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 03:31 pm:    Just shows to go, sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down with this stuff.   John Picacio Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 03:33 pm:    Props to the Bruins. They managed to temporarily stop the hemorraging from my 5-game losing streak. I put big faith in the Ol' Ball Coach. Tie game, 28 all. Someone tell him he's playing Tennessee so he'll start running up the score, and win me a ballgame.   Forrest Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 03:40 pm:    I'd withhold those props until the second quarter, John. They were playing street ball for the first 15 minutes.   Lucius Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 03:53 pm:    Have you ever seen two onside kicks returned for TDs before? A first for me.   Lucius Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 04:15 pm:    Lucius 200 -- 15 Jeff F 167 -- 23 AI 165 -- 3 Jeff V 149 -- 22 Darren 134 -- 23 Forest 126 -- 12 JP 123 --23 Minz 109 -- 26 Dave 103 -- 14 JK 93 -- 15 Lynn 82 JOSH 61-- 15   Forrest Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 04:18 pm:    Me too. And Brad Smith is a monster.   John Picacio Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 04:19 pm:    Damn the Ol' Ball Coach. I could've used those points. Oh well. Tomorrow's another day. I was gonna say something about another Big 12 bowl victory, but I think Lucius'll kill me, so I'll hold my tongue. In the LSU/Miami game today, I've only got two points on Miami, but since I got engaged to my fiancee Traci in September, we've pretty much made a pact to root for each other's teams unless they play each other head to head. So since Traci is a Miami alum and a hardcore Canes fan, I'm officially a hardcore Canes fan this season, and from here on..... So I'm donning my orange and green jersey, as we speak....   John Picacio Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 04:21 pm:    Hey -- Looks like we all got our ass kicked in that last game. Everyone except Lynn. Nice one, Lynn!   Lucius Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 04:33 pm:    I can relax with this one, I've only got two points. cause I'm dealing with the Coker factor and I expect LSU to win. Hey, woof all you want, John, but I got an answer for you. And it doesn't change my contention that neither TX or Cal would go undefeated if they played an SEC schedule. Yeah, good call, Lynn.   Lucius Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 07:20 pm:    Ugly. Lucius 200 -- 2 Jeff F 169 AI 165 -- 4 Jeff V 154 Darren 140 Forest 126 -- 11 JP 123 --2 Minz 109 -- 19 Dave 103 -- 10 JK 95 Lynn 93 JOSH 61-- 16   John Picacio Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 07:33 pm:    Yeah, you said it, Lucius. Sorry 'bout that. Blows me away that LSU has this Flynn kid who's just looked dynamite and right behind him, they've got the Perrilloux kid that Texas wanted so badly to take over when Vince is done. All this with Russell the starting QB out. Wow. Looks to me like Perrilloux made a bad decision going to LSU because he ain't gonna dethrone both Russell and Flynn next year. He's probably gonna have to transfer somewhere to get PT. Anyway, LSU just looked amazing tonight. Wow. Traci says that when you crank out the "Fire Coker" t-shirts, she'll take a medium. I guess you can make mine a nice roomy XL. Preferably in black.   John Picacio Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 07:36 pm:    And by the way....fear the Wrath of the Chicken. Good day for you over there, Chicken. Congrats.   Lucius Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 08:01 pm:    The t-shirts are gonna be green on orange. And they may read Kill Coker.   Forrest Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 08:12 pm:    No matter what happens, I just seem to stay in sixth place. It's kind of eerie.   YY Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 08:30 pm:    YY   Lucius Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 09:33 pm:    Last night the chicken was 33 points out of first. Tonight the chicken was 33 points out of first. YY, indeed. Forrest, maybe you've just found your niche. Nah, it's still up for grabs. I probably won't be around tomorrow to score the late game, but I'll catch up New Years Day.   Lucius Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 09:46 pm:    OOPS! The chicken gained two poiints.   jeff ford Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 10:07 pm:    Concerning the chicken, indeed is right. Three wins today and he hasn't moved a beak's worth. He's full of sound and feathers, signifying nothing. Lynn didn't move in rank today, but she was happy as hell just to win all four games. I spent way too much time watching football today, but it was fun.   Lucius Posted on Friday, December 30, 2005 - 10:30 pm:    Wait'll Monday. Five games. I've got a ton of work to do, but Monday is sacred.   John Picacio Posted on Saturday, December 31, 2005 - 06:04 am:    Well, I think today's the day that decides whether or not I get to retain any hopes for the crown... 63 big points on three games...I've got NC State, Fresno State, and TCU....should be fun...I'm thinking I need all three to stay alive...   Lucius Posted on Saturday, December 31, 2005 - 07:04 am:    Go Wolfpack. Bulldogs, and whaever the TCUs are...Purple Lizards! I gotta get coffee.   Josh Rountree Posted on Saturday, December 31, 2005 - 08:16 am:    Those would be Horned Frogs. And sorry I picked Miami, Lucius. Judging by my 7-10 bowl record this year, that alone probably doomed them from the start. Sadly, I picked Texas too.   Lucius Posted on Saturday, December 31, 2005 - 08:57 am:    I was gonna pick LSU because I saw it coming, but I just couldn't. Not yer fault. The Meineke Car Care Bowl is living up to its name.   Lucius Posted on Saturday, December 31, 2005 - 11:23 am:    Lucius 213 Jeff F 176 AI 172 Jeff V 168 Darren 140 -- 7 JP 135 Dave 130 Minz 129 Forest 126 -- 26 JK 112 Lynn 1O1 JOSH 61- 17   Lucius Posted on Saturday, December 31, 2005 - 01:29 pm:    Lucius 213 -- 21 Jeff F 176 --15 AI 172 --16 Jeff V 168 -- 13 Darren 140 -- 12 JP 135 --26 Dave 142 Minz 136 Forest 126 -- 13 JK 124 Lynn 1O1 -- 16 JOSH 61 --18   Lucius Posted on Saturday, December 31, 2005 - 01:34 pm:    Oops!

Happy new year...on this very special night.   John Picacio Posted on Saturday, December 31, 2005 - 03:28 pm:    Happy New Year, Lucius. Happy New Year, everyone. One of my picks finally won a close one! Horned Purple Lizards pull it out.   Lucius Posted on Saturday, December 31, 2005 - 03:29 pm:    Lucius 213 -- 12 AI 184 Jeff F 180 Jeff V 168 -- 12 Dave -- 142 -- 6 Darren 157 JP 156 Minz -- 144 JK 133 Forrest 126 -- 6 Lynn 118 JOSH 82   Lucius Posted on Saturday, December 31, 2005 - 03:31 pm:    Lucius 225 AI 184 Jeff F 180 Jeff V 168 -- 12 Dave -- 142 -- 6 Darren 157 JP 156 Minz -- 144 JK 133 Forrest 126 -- 6 Lynn 118 JOSH 82   John Picacio Posted on Saturday, December 31, 2005 - 03:34 pm:    Hey, Lucius -- No biggie, but if you would, check the math. I think I've got TCU for 25 points....so if you take the 135 plus the new 25, I should have 160 now. Thanks a bunch!!!   Lucius Posted on Saturday, December 31, 2005 - 03:35 pm:    The above was a correction. Almost screwed myself. Happy New Year, John and TRacie (Kill Coker) and everyone.   Lucius Posted on Saturday, December 31, 2005 - 03:41 pm:    I thought you had more points than that. Thanks, John Lucius 225 AI 184 John P 181 Jeff F 180 Jeff V 168 -- 12 Dave -- 142 -- 6 Darren 157 Minz -- 144 JK 133 Forrest 126 -- 6 Lynn 118 JOSH 82   Lucius Posted on Saturday, December 31, 2005 - 03:46 pm:    Fuck. I'm must be lit already.

I had TCU for 6, Lucius. Should put me at a dominating 132.   Lucius Posted on Sunday, January 01, 2006 - 07:04 am:    Sorry, It got really hectic here yesterday. Let me do this again. Lucius 225 AI 184 John P 181 Jeff F 180 Jeff V 168 -- 12 Dave -- 142 -- 6 Darren 157 Minz -- 144 JK 133 Forrest 132 Lynn 118 JOSH 82   John Picacio Posted on Sunday, January 01, 2006 - 09:07 am:    Hey, Lucius -- Hope you had a good one last night... I ain't trying to mess with you, but your new update has me with too many points this time. I should have 160 points. I totaled all of it up and double-checked. Damn. It sure looks good having my name up that high, but maybe after tomorrow.... Go Falcons and Cowboys today!   Lucius Posted on Sunday, January 01, 2006 - 09:54 am:    Lucius 225 AI 184 Jeff F 180 Jeff V 168 -- 12 John P 160 Dave -- 142 -- 6 Darren 157 Minz -- 144 JK 133 Forrest 132 Lynn 118 JOSH 82 I'm obviously not at my best this morning.   John Klima Posted on Sunday, January 01, 2006 - 02:59 pm:    Hmmm, it seems that chicken Ford sold me was not the true chicken of picking.... JK   Lucius Posted on Sunday, January 01, 2006 - 03:08 pm:    It was a chicken that was dead right, but in an alternate universe.   Darren S. Posted on Sunday, January 01, 2006 - 03:34 pm:    98 points at stake tomorrow. Upward mobility baby. Go SEC and ACC. With only 1 point on the line, I don't give a fuck about ND-Ohio State, though I do expect it to be a great matchup.   Darren S. Posted on Sunday, January 01, 2006 - 03:37 pm:    Addendum: Hope everyone had/are having a safe New Year. We did the quiet family thing. Am writing today -- as you can clearly see.   Lucius Posted on Sunday, January 01, 2006 - 04:06 pm:    Same to ya!   jeff ford Posted on Sunday, January 01, 2006 - 04:32 pm:    Thanks, Darren. Have a great 06. And to all...
