    As Newman would say “Hillllllllllarious”. You do realize you haven’t beat me in this or the regular season BIF in quite some time, right? Nice avatar biuddy, why would you ever pick that?

    In other news, today is the last chance to sign up. We have a whoppin ‘ 19 people right now. I believe that’s slightly short of last year.

    We do have a few newcomers which is always nice, I’d like to see a few more. @Todd if you join, and place first, I’ll send you a bottle of Armand and Tommy. If you lose, you owe us nothing. It’s my personal LIF, you have nothing to lose. PM me for the info/password if you’d like.

    This is correct. I used to go crazy trying to make all my picks as soon as the schedule came out, now I just pick them a day or
    two ahead.

    I actually gave him the choice, I thought it was a rather curious and intriguing selection myself.

    Ok funnyman, enjoy the jokes whilst you can.

    I might have to form my own board of BA selection committee advisors to come up with the gem you'll soon be sporting.

    :popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:.......... The main reason I get into this is to watch Brad pull his hair out and labor over each days selections, it's better than any advent calendar or Twelve Days of Christmas. Not sure how this blind squirrel tripped over his acorn last year, but I fully expect a return to his normal mediocrity this bowl season. The entertainment value is so worth it.

    This is my first year playing and picking was a breeze.

    Logged in, viewed all of @cfh64 picks and picked the exact opposite.

    Guaranteed victory!


    LBO.......

    Like you said before, its impossible to pick ahead with players sitting out, coaches having Epiphanies, and vegas shifting odds.

    You mean Brad won’t quit after only half the bowl games?

    Gotta give it up to @cfh64 , a solid 15th place after the first 6 games, i guess his strategy this time is just start out sucking so he doesnt get his hopes and dreams crushed at the end as usual ...

    Apparently you either conveniently forgot or have no recollection of what happened last year. This tourney isn’t about who’s in first after the first week or even the second week. Unlike some of you, I didn’t blow my wad on a bunch of scrub games.

    Pretty arrogant calling out the reigning champs strategy but I would expect nothing less from a delusional bottom tier player like yourself.

    You are right, its way smarter to put 41 points on the games where the teams are more evenly matched up rather than these games where its clear which teams are better.
    But then again what else would i expect from a guy whos claim to fame is winning one bowl pool ....
