We are gonna do a Bowl Game Pick'em contest This year and I think it will be a LOT of fun! All you need to do is Pick the winner of each bowl game and then pick a tie breaker.. For this contest, the tie breaker will be predicting the difference of the score for the Orange Bowl. If YOU think the score will be 21-7, then you should pick the number 14. This should be easy and a LOT of fun. Remember, Bowls Start December 14th, so get your picks in quickly! Here is the Bowl Schedule... Remember to add your tie breaker number at the end.

MJ Can you double check your numbers, please? I have some different numbers for SteelerTP, Rainman, TonyBoy and KYHope. You also forgot Rainman's son, Dayton, whose doing quite well. (I kept track along with my own pool in a different group, because I wanted to see how I stacked up vs. the gang in here.) Cali Ed |

Cali Ed.... Thanks for cluing me in. I guess I should have done my tabulating when I was drinking coffee and not beer after the devastating WVU loss yesterday . BTW, Congradulations TonyBoy. Your team beat my team. At least WVU played about 10 minutes of good football and only died right at the beginning and then the whole forth quarter. I've completely retabulated from scratch and I did make a few errors.  And I do apologize for not adding Dayton into the mix. My assuming mind just assumed at a quick glance that Rainman had just posted twice.. Sometimes MSN will post a duplicate post, and I think that might have been what was causing the trouble? It may have been the six pack of beer as well.. Who knows! Anyways.. This is what I have thus far AFTER tabulating ALL the games played thus far. CaliEd 13 wins Yule Brenner 13 wins. SteelerTP 12 wins Dayton 14 wins Rainman 15 wins ThirstyHap 13 wins Steeler1036 14 wins Tonyboy 10 wins Ky Hope 11 wins Lewdoglewis 13 wins. Please let me know if your numbers and my numbers are gelling. Good luck everyone! mj |

Looks like Ray and Joe finished 1-2 (if my calculations were right), just like they did in the regular season challenge (acutally, there they tied). And I finished a pick behind Joe, again (as did Thirsty, Lewdog and Rainman's boy Dayton.) Congrats, Rainman, on winning the bowl pick 'em! Cali Ed |
