As I went counting through these ...

After the initial utmost disappointment in my own picks; it looked as the Mountainman's pick were head off the same track where I derailed.

Spence's picks started off rather strong. But faltered the further on I counted.

Derek, December 29th was where you burnt out. Any correct pick, that day, and you'd have taken the crown, solo.

At least the Popularity Contes...... err ...... Playoff was otherwise exciting.

That is, up until Michigan left a cleat tread across Washington's uniform.

Not nearly the bludgeoning Georgia left TCU with, a year ago. However, even when the game seemingly got close, it felt already decided.

Great job with the picks, Cane……… we all appreciate what you do for the us and the board.

As far as picking goes nowadays, it’s tuff, more like calculus than algebra. I feel like Adm. Chester Nimitz after the Battle of Midway when he was receiving congrats for winning the battle and he asked, ‘……… were we actually better than the Japanese or were we just luckier?’ 8)

Here here!! I really like the picks, when I can remember to put them in.... :? :? :?
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.
