stevasaurus 23,274 #301 Posted November 9, 2013 The picks are in...I am the only idiot that picked Purdue...and one of two idiots that picked Illinois. I think that this is the 1st week, this year, that does not have a game that we all picked the same...probably because Ohio St. has a bye. and also...because I am the only idiot that picked Purdue. Actually...bk-scouter is the only guy to pick Penn St. and he is also the only guy to pick BYU....divine providence maybe???? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

papaglide 542 #303 Posted November 10, 2013 Actually no,real surprises here. Purdue and Illinois...yuck. Iowa beat a very poor Purdue team. Isn't Joe Tiller looking good now Boiler fans? Illinois will hire a better coach. Huskers and Mich was actually a decent game to watch. Nebraska would find some way to mess up and Michigan. Well, Michigan is coming back down to earth. Minnesota is for real. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brrly1 1,146 #316 Posted November 14, 2013 Mike, with picks like you made for this week, I think your going places. I am going with Penn State, Wisconsin, OSU, like I said those were easy. My train of thought at the present time says go with Northwestern over Michigan also I have to go with Michigan State they seem to have there act together a little bit better than Nebraska and thats a hard sell. Alrighty then the Hawkeyes have the weekend off and are hopefully getting ready for the last two weeks which will be tough games. Michigan at home and then Nebraska at Lincoln, Nebr. with that being said I am enjoying life at the top, which might not last long. Go Hawkeyes!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 43,731 #317 Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) Holy Cow...Rock and Rye with doughnuts...I have not tried that yet. To get to the card game (and to deliver the donuts you will enter through a door and you will see this: Go down the stairs and go left up the other stairs you see here. Card table and coffee pot are up on the mezzanine. Edited November 14, 2013 by squonk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RMCIII 838 #320 Posted November 15, 2013 Well, here are all are, picking and a grinnin'. I'm gonna date myself with that comment. See if anyone can pick up where that little sayin' came from...... As we dwindle down to the last few games, ol' Johnny Boy seems to be makin' his fame. But close behind is one heck of a pack, with HODGEY< PAPAY<and RCIII, ready to attack. Next in line and with something to prove, Ol' Bitten is smitten, his sights are set, on Johnny Boy too... Further back, but still in the game, JimmyD is feeling no shame. Now these last 3 are still in the game. But they need to be wise with the picks they place. If they choose every winner ,each week without fail, one could emerge as a dark horse set sail. So good luck to you all, and I wish you the best. You have all been format able opponents in this little contest. Here we go: Penn St. over Perdue Wisconsin over Indiana The Ohio State Buckeyes over Illinois Michigan over Northwester. I am perplexed with this pick. Northwester is really better than what their record is. The last 3 losses have all been very close. But I am going to stay with Michigan Michigan St. over Nebraska. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 23,274 #322 Posted November 15, 2013 Just so you all know, and we did this last year, the college football season is like Hockey...the teams play all season to eliminate 4 teams from the playoffs. With that in mind...you will have a chance to pick all the Bowl Games...starting with the first Bowl Game that features a Big Ten team. I think there was 22 games to pick and it started just after Christmas. Here is a link to last years thread.... Question...should I do a separate thread, like last year, or just keep going with the Bowl Game picks in this thread? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 43,731 #323 Posted November 15, 2013 Hmmmmmmmm? Might be hard for me to keep track of threads. I'm not a Rocket Surgeon you know! Make sure you put Playoffs in the thread title. PLAYOFFS! YOU'RE TALKING PLAYOFFS? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? PLAYOFFS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
