How the heck did you do that? On that Grambling game? I couldn't find anything to 'cap that game on so eventually I just had Madame Blavatsky the old Psychic Woman at the Mexican Swap Meet toss some Tea Leaves on a table. The Call was clearly on Grambling. Moment I saw JOH had included that game I screamed "oh no" though. Never let anyone tell you JOH ain't got a sense of humor.

Grambling ended up being a pretty bizarre start to the bowl season. I thought I was doomed yesterday. Finished 4-2 which I'll take

My RXNFL Dream is coming to an end, hope your attempt to ascend from 15th Place and One (1) game out the money is going better than mine. Minnesota and Baltimore "Defenses" & Hunger, Pride, Respectability and Desire to do their Jobs

none of these things materialized

for me today.


'Course I knew to ask some Millionaire Athletes to care more about a thing other than getting to Off-Season

was asking a lot. I'd Hoped for better than this LayDown though.

Hey JOH: Any idea on the prize structure? Thx.

yea make it top heavy! that's the spirit of bowl contest like 50 / 30 / 20 or 60 / 30 / 10 seems fair.... I'd honestly vote for 90 / 10 or something like that though if others are open to it

 

[Soccerguru]

top 10% always works for me... 50/30/15/10/5

Nailed It. @) 'cept this severe cold winter weather has deflated MY Hugh Mungus Board, it may even have developed a hole Does not bode well with a 2nd Round of Man Picks left to do

I got That Luck over here that I needed over in RXNFL but that did not come. Now I gotta assume a "Contrarian" strategy over there which could equal yet another massive Trainwreck like my Week 15.

Next Eight Games over here I got 7 Dogs which should provide an excellent Illustration of Regression, starting tonite with Wyoming +8.5, Books have that at +10/10.5 right now.

I get The Wyoming 'Boys to lose by 8 or less to BYU then we know I have a Horseshoe up my
