A long as we beat the Hokies, the season won't be a total loss.

Advertisement: If you want to vote for or against the Hokies, in what will probably be one of the better games this upcoming weekend go here:
http://www.hatrack.com/ubb/forum/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=027568
and sign up for College Pigskin Pick'em

NC State lost to Ohio Sate and Va Tech lost to USC so it will be interesting to see who wins this. If NC beats Tech then the argument could be made that USC is overrated, even if that squeaker with Tech was their first game and they've probably improved since then. However Tech is the home team, and in college that is an even bigger advantage than in the pros.

This game has huge repercussions in the ACC as well. Miami is probably a large step ahead of the rest, and Florida state a small step. Then Tech, UVa, and NC State are probable contenders with FS for 2nd. Maryland is a possibility if they can recover from the loss to WVu, and Wake is surprisingly strong.

So far, all my picks in the early games are ahead or tied.

I'm bragging while I still can. [Big Grin]

Well, I'm guaranteed at least a tie, but I'm only 1 ahead of two people. Not killing in the least.

Yeah, if by "killed" you mean "beat by one"... then sure, Dag killed us.

I'll probably never say this out loud again, but Go Cowboys!

Hmmmm..I will never again edit my original picks based on other people's opinions.

I picked the Saints and Jags, but went in and change them after reading up on the teams since I had not seen them play this year...

And they won....as did the Texans adn the Giannts......both whom I had picked and then changed as well.

The onlu one I would have lost was Detroit...I am from MI so I picked them to win, but changed it...ad they lost, so that saved me a point there....

At the cost of all the others.

So I would have been 13-1 now....

But I'm not... [Mad] [Cry]

BTW< hell of a run you are having Dagonee...

This is still pretty close!

Who is tied with Dag, anyway? Carrie?

Well, if you could pick right 96% of the time all season, then we could make a killing in Vegas...

Up to where they wouuld shoot us, that is.... [Big Grin]

What a clinic put on by Brett Favre and Peyton Manning. Actually it was a day for QB's/WR's in general. Roy Williams, Javon Walker, Randy Moss, Tim Brown gets his 100th TD AT Oakland, all of that.

And Kwea... you're only managed a 3 point lead after all the handicapping I've given? You better hope I keep not picking every other week.... [Big Grin]

Hmm, nervous about this week's picks. Way too many away teams chosen, yet I can't justify the home teams, either.

Well, I want to kill NO, but the real reason I have crashed and burned the last 3 weeks is the g%& D$#%d Giants.

If I pick them to lose, they win...I pick them to win, they lose...

I can't wait for them to have a bye week...lol...

Well Tres, you caught me....

That doesn't mean you are any good, just that I suck.

I suck, and we are tied, so.....

I didn't make my picks this week. I figured that would cancel out the week that Tresopax didn't make any picks, and he would no longer be able to whine about how he gave me a handicap. [Smile]

Jeni, the worse part is that you still are leading me by a point.

Last week I changed some picks after choosing, and it cost me 4 points...

So this week, even though I wanted to chage a couple, I didn't...

and it cost me 3...

lol....oh well, I never said I was good at these...

[Wink]
Just better than Xap...

Having officially taken sole possession of first place, I will now say "Booooyah!"

Because I'm feeling very worried about the pick tonight and won't be able to do it long.

I may have to change my picking strategy. I'm obviously not picking well but this past week was the first time I didn't pick my team (Chiefs) to win. They won for the first time. I may be forced to pick against them due to the superstition factor.

I'm consoling myself with being 8-10 this week in the college football pickem. Farmgirl beat me by one point, but that was becuase my 9 point sure thing was Georgia beating Tennesee. I was sweating out Purdue beating Penn State though, and I was driving to see celia AT Purdue and I couldn't get the stupid game on the radio!
