My apologies ...

I'd have had these up sooner, but the power went out again today.

Yep, thanks a bunch. It’s really something fun to do and look forward to. You do a really good job picking the games with a bunch of evenly matched teams, and that’s a challenge for pickers in College Football this day and time.

Some more must be interested, I would surmise, because with oftentimes with just a few pickers there’re a lot of people taking a look when you see the number of views on the thread.

That really is the goal ...

It has become more difficult to get the evenly matched games up to 20 weekly Saturday picks; since the Mac started playing on Tuesday and Wednesday.

If it is hard to pick the games, you can't tell it when we pick. :lol:

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.

I was just about to ask if you hadn't made up your mind on that one.

Illinois is yours.
