Mountainman = 13

I’ve heard that ‘ties’ are like “Kissing Your Sister”, but I sure as hell ain’t drivin’ to Chillicothe or South Bend to find out!!!!! :lol:

Worse than finding out you did, what if the did. So I think kissing your sister is a reasonable alternative. One year I think I won the contest because I just used Congrove's pick and someone said I was cheating. So left to my own accords, no one is accusing me of skull drudgery.

I was once accused of cheating, simply because I asked if I could change one of my picks before the game ...

Not because I actually did change the pick, because I didn't ... just that I asked if I could.

Irony is, had I changed that pick, I would have botched that game, because the team I was going to dump ended up winning.

Ah well ...

How sad it would be to actually cheat on a game where there is no prize. I don't think anyone here would cheat on the picks game.

I took a beatin this week....A special thanks to my Dawgs for sending your local high school to play in your place. :oops:
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.

If I wasn't idealistic and notional, I wouldn't be a college football fan. And therein lies the problem. To us that watch, it's an escape. To those that are in charge, it is lucre.

As you have testified, being a College Football Fan will introduce one to reality. And I must say, the reactions and responses to that introduction vary greatly. :lol:
