I just wanted to say this.

I have been pretty quiet on the Sportsguy9695 issue. In the other thread I rule said it was my call. I didn't make that call by myself. It was listening to all of you who have complained or expressed frustration. This is not my baby. This is OUR baby. I am just the one that posts the games and results.

Bottom line is the rules are posted every single week. They are simple. When this started it was based on an honor system to sack up to the "punishment". I get busy schedules and what have you. But once you know how to change an Avi, it takes 3 seconds to do it. So if you come in here and post picks that take longer than 3 seconds, you can't claim that you were too busy. It just rings hollow.

Previous to last weeks results people came on this very thread and voiced their displeasure and said don't bother counting his picks. Plus I have had PM discussions about it. I really had no choice.

I love doing the games and the results because I am a gluten for punishment but all decisions on rules and so forth will be made by everyone, not just me.

What a nice Thanksgiving.

Texas loses. A&M loses. Dallas loses. I drank way too much wine.

Too bad I selected A&M to win.

The only negative, the hotel that my wife and I are staying at has some Texas cars/trucks/vehicles of workers that are staying here. They are so important that they park the vehicles and take up two spots to ensure I cannot possibly park our vehicle near our room. Why are Texas people such douche bags?

Maybe tonight I will sneak out and let the air out of their tires.

If my glancing through the pickems thread is correct, there are four of us that are 0-1. Are we judged by the company we keep?

I was 2 of 5 going into the day and am getting clobbered on Illinois @ Northwestern and N.C. State @ UNC in the early games today.

5 wins and 7 losses through the first 12 games. I need a big afternoon/evening to get above .500.

Only gobigred and JJM got me on the first tie-breaker so that might save my ass.

That's 13 games though.

There's only been 12 Finals as of now.

I don't think so... I'm setting at 7-6, you sure yer not missing one somewhere?


edit: Maybe it'd be in my best interest to set the alkihol down. can't count....
