Even if I had gotten credit for my 12 wins last week, I would have been four short. BG would have been three short. I bow to your greatness. :lol:

O.K. guys and gal ....... it's halftime. :D

Get to the locker room and make your adjustments in your techniques and alignments, determine the mis-matches and put your game plan together for the second half. :wink:

P.S. I sure hope Hawaii and Northern Illinois win. :shock:

Watch out, Mountain Man, I'm going to win this half (phhhhht..Yeah right :roll: :roll: :roll: )

I went out on a limb more than a few times this week and it, uh, let's just say my picks got slaughtered :shock:

Congrats, MM. I'm sure more people will join and start trying to knock the top dawg off of this thing.

Hey Eric ..... do all your figurin' and cypherin' .... and then pick the other team. :shock:

Hey Howdy ..... this town ain't big enough for the both of us, partner .... strap on you six gun .... I'll meet you on Main Street at High Noon. :D

And to the rest of you guys ....... you gonna' let a hillbilly from the hills and hollers of West-By-God-Virginia take you and your high powered perspectives and predictions to the woodshed? :wink:

So, for the second half, I'm pickin myself for the odds on favorite. I base that on outscoring the leader the past two weeks, and averaging higher points per week.

Two weeks !!!! ..... two weeks !!!!!! ...... you better go back a figure some more ..... your extrapolations and simple actuarial analysis has way, way, way to much wiggle room. :lol: :D :lol:

I was so far ahead of you I took a pee-wee vacation down at the E-Z Snooze Motel where the ladies dance among the palm trees and the drinks taste like fruit or coconut ....... :lol: :D :lol:

In truth, no one knows what the future holds, and these last two weeks had some rough pickins. I'm glad it's being halved, because it gives me a realistic opportunity to stay off the second page.
I look forward to having an even opportunity to compete with people I highly respect. I've surfed many boards, and read many articles, and even play in a few other pick'ems, but this is the only place I put any stock into. I find more thought provoking, insightful, and quality posts here than anywhere else.


Finally, in closing, I know how much work goes into researching each, and every game to make the right decisions week to week. Congratulations on a well deserved victory.

I believe MM uses the "eenie meanie" method of picking. :lol:

"eenie and meanie" are doing really well, but I'm going to have a little talk with "mineie and moe" ........ those two guys have been hanging around Peter Piper who picked a peck of pickled peppers and if Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers then where's the peck of pickled peppers that Peter Piper picked. :wink:
