squonk 38,940 #2 Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Good news / Bad news: The good news is the boiler room is almost done with paint and high output lighting. Stairs to the card table are easy to spot! Nice and toasty with 3 boilers running! Take it easy on the way down. Not too much spiced coffees or Straw-bra-rita's Bad news: Some mangey buck-toothed varmints swiped the table and chairs! I am on the prowl. They can run but they can't hide!

Brrly1 1,146 #9 Posted December 14, 2013 Well this should be easy as it has already happening. Your going to lose right there. RMCIII is already down one game. Basically all of you can choose lsu, I'm looking good all the way thru, might as well wrap up for this year. Let us not forget, that lsu went down the tubes in 2005. To who you might ask? The Iowa Hawkeyes!!! I took the Big Ten, now to wrap this up and hopefully keep one particular mouth quiet. Side bet RMCIII, the Hawkeyes beat lsu and you keep your mouth shut about the Hawkeyes? Sorry you can't understand that Dan Gable is the man!!! Get over it!!! As always, Go Hawkeyes!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,231 #10 Posted December 14, 2013 Oh Oh...John and Rob have shot the first rounds...here we go. These games are not going to be easy to pick...some good match ups up there. I think this calls for the Magic Pencil to help me with my picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,940 #11 Posted December 14, 2013 Better than your magic undies! I shot from the hip got all my picks in before all of the coaching rumors and star player arrests are in. I"M GOING TO CLEAN HOUSE!!!!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,231 #12 Posted December 14, 2013 OMG...I just looked at my Magic Pencil...it was made in Louisiana. It is tied up in knots over the LSU vs IOWA game... 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMCIII 838 #13 Posted December 15, 2013 Ha...Like I said before... Dan Gable is the man..... However it seems everyone else that has never even been on a mat thinks they are Dan Gable also. < That is the problem... I see we are still living in the past also. I thought this was 2013, getting ready for 2014, so we are living on a game from 9 years ago. 1 HIT WONDER... You keep proving my point, all the stuff I have been saying throughout the season..... Wait, how many National Championships does Iowa have in football> HERE IT IS ONE, 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1. A ONE HIT WONDER. HMMMM I WONDER WHEN THEY EVER MAY BE A HIT AGAIN???????

stevasaurus 22,231 #21 Posted December 17, 2013 Well, before something else happens in "MY" thread between you girls...here are my picks... BOWLING GREEN, NORTHERN ILLINOIS, MARYLAND, MINNESOTA, WASHINGTON, NOTRE DAME, NORTH CAROLINA, LOUISVILLE, KANSAS ST., NAVY, GEORGIA TECH., OREGON,, ARIZONA ST., ARIZONA, VIRGINIA TECH, MISSISSIPPI ST., TEXAS A&M, NORTH TEXAS, GEORGIA, WISCONSIN, LSU, MICHIGAN ST, BAYLOR, ALABAMA, OHIO ST., MISSOURI, VANDERBILT, BALL ST., FLORIDA ST. Just so you all know...I picked the games first (from what I knew) and then checked out the stats and standings...I did not really change one pick, after looking at the stats... and I am not going to jinx myself now by saying I know what I am talking about...you have to pick to try to beat me...I did not agree with everything that Vegas said either. OMG...I picked the Big Ten to win 4 games...what am I thinking??? I really think that Minnesota and Wisconsin will win their games...I am 51/49 with Michigan St. because of their defense...Ohio St. is a toss up with Clemson (Ohio St. may have been over-rated) . Michigan, Nebraska, Iowa...you guys have been a thorn in my side all year...never know which team is going to show up...I can't wait until you guys have to deal with Rutgers and Maryland..(who are both playing in bowls) If any of you 3 win your bowl games...it is a good thing for the Big Ten...and I am really pulling for you...but you would still be a thorn in my side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
