*yawn* I made better picks than you did so far! I just didn't pay much attention to pick-values this year (or picks, for that matter). $\:\/$ But I can still beat you with enough luck (aka, skill). $\:p$ $;\)$

Well when I said I could still win the whole thing, scratch that theory. Kansas winning tonight f*cked that all up.

I was planning to go to that game, but ended up having to go back to Ottawa on that day. It is weird with an NFL field at Skydome.

Looks like it, LN. You assigned a "1" to the LSU/OS game which meant you were only willing to risk 1 point on the outcome of that game.

Re: College Bowl Mania 2007 - 01/08/08 11:55 PM

Great job, DA.

I was rooting for your Buckeyes last night.

Posted By: Don Alessandrio

Re: College Bowl Mania 2007 - 01/09/08 02:02 PM

I would like to thank God for the ability to pick confidence points. I hope that college football does not go to a playoff so we can continue this great game of ours.

I am still in disbelief that the Bucks played so poorly and took themselves out of the game. They couldn't beat Indiana or Northwestern with 4 turnovers, dropped touchdown pass, and 4 personal fouls, and grade school tackle form.

Well next year is another year and another chance for the Buckeyes to play in a NC game versus a SEC team. If the 17 or so starting underclassman come back there will be a chance.

Circle your calanders for September 13th when OSU goes on the road to face the Trojans of USC.
