Bored 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2003 For the lazy people the new standings are on the previous page. Tommorrow's Game Continental Tire Bowl: Pittsburgh vs. Virginia, worth 12 points Pick Breakdown Pittsburgh (18) - Bored, Kotzenjunge, bps "The The Truth" 21, Lando Griffin, 2GOLD, JHawk, Rob E Dangerously, teke184, the pinjockey, MarvinisaLunatic, Vern Gagne, Choken One, Cuban Linx, CanadianChris, The Might Damaramu, Agent Bond34, Gatornibs, HarleyQuinn Virginia (5) - phoenixrising, bravesfan, Edwin MacPhitso, razateca, cartman Posting this now since the game has an early start. This game I think was a lot tougher to pick than the breakdown indicates and I came pretty close to going with Virginia. Decent number of points but there won't be a huge impact in the standings at the moment. Only thing of note is the logjam in 7th place right now will be split in half and if Virginia wins phoenix, bravesfan, and Edwin will all jump to 2nd place.

Bored 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2003 I think Bored's fixing the contest... Damnit I knew I'd get accused of fixing this! Anyways picking Cal wasn't that hard because Virginia Tech played like complete shit down the stretch. Under Jeff Tedford they also play better when they play better teams, just ask USC. Cal also played a much tougher schedule than Va Tech and I knew the game would be bigger to them since they haven't been to a bowl game in seven years. The hardest part about picking them was that I hate them so much. Trust me I was really confident with all my picks to this point but it's going to change starting tommorrow as I won't be shocked at all if Virginia wins as I had to practically flip a coin on that game. Also the standings right now almost mean nothing with 327 points still available, 114 alone on January 1st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2003 Maybe it's time for Frank Beamer to consider leaving Va Tech. He's turned the program around, yet this is the 3rd year his teams have gone in the tank. Maybe a change is needed for both sides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's MEANT for steaks but I could always adapt it for more practical uses... You know....3 people came into work wearing LSU hats today....they said "We're here to return our car." I said "Not in those hats your not." I was just joking. The dad had a good laugh and said "It'll be a great game. I can't wait." the mom proceeded to go into a 20 minute lecture about how LSU is going to whip OU's ass. Not ever once offering up anything about the game besides "LSU rocks! Just you wait! You're in denial! They rock! They're going to destroy OU!" I just stared at her the whole time while the husband rolled his eyes. Suffice to say.......I no longer talk about football with the general public. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2003 Tonight's Game Alamo Bowl: Michigan State vs. Nebraska, worth 15 points Pick Breakdown Michigan State (13) - Bored, Edwin MacPhitso, bps "The Truth" 21, Lando Griffin, 2GOLD, JHawk, the pinjockey, razazteca, cartman, Choken One, CanadianChris, Agent Bond34, Gatornibs Nebraska (10) - phoenixrising, bravesfan, Kotzenjunge, Rob E Dangerously, teke184, MarvinisaLunatic, Vern Gagne, Cuban Linx, The Mighty Damaramu, Harley Quinn Big game here with a decent number of points and a good split in the picks. The most significant movement in the standings would be if Nebraska wins that would put phoenixrising and bravesfan in a tie for 1st place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
