I won this game last year?

I thought I didn't do well, but that must be the Basketball game.

I think this should be the official game of the gangster bb 'website you cant refuse'.

this is gonna be a lot of fun b/c everyone can stay competitive as long as they put in a squad. i like predicting it week to week instead of picking your team once, and then the season becomes a bore after a cpl of injuries.

I hear that...

Re: 2006 Gridiron Challenge (Salary Cap) - 11/24/06 09:17 AM

I truly feel sorry to hear that Lou.

You must really miss him if thats the case. I Guess there are a lot who do.

This and the BB pigskin pickem games are the only ones I'm doing so I like to follow it. It gives me reason to watch the games.

And even though JG likes to cheat, I'm gonna fight on.

You're right. ......It used to be every time I'd start to slack off, he'd post something that would get me motivated again. And if I was beating him, he'd usually post something that would would make me want to beat him more.

I'm making a game of it at least......100 points behind with 5 weeks to go, it'll hopefully be like Rutgers coming back from 25-0 to win 28-25......as opposed to the 30 point loss to Cinci lol

Re: 2006 Gridiron Challenge (Salary Cap) - 11/29/06 03:01 AM

Well we are all rooting for you to knock off the evil empire
Don Michael.

p.s-Rutgers was down 15-7 and then 25-14 at half. Since you were there I know I don't have to correct you. But I'm thinking they must serve beer at the Rutger's games!

Re: 2006 Gridiron Challenge (Salary Cap) - 11/29/06 04:51 AM

You know ICE, I knew I was wrong when I was typing it but I was in the middle of class and I was drawing a blank on the games score lol....and besides the 25-0 makes it more dramatic lol.

They didn't serve beer there but that doesn't mean I didn't have some before :cough: during :cough: and after the game lol

But too bad there's a 1 point/week penalty for hiding your team, so you actually ended up with less.
