Bowl Pick 'Em Update: It's Really Getting Tight at the Top Edition

by The Beef on Jan 3, 2008 7:40 AM CST

Alright...two more games to put into the record books, and this group has come a long way. I will total up the overall record and winning percentage here in a minute, but I have a strong feeling we will have finally passed the .500 mark. We have had some big movers in the group, with RPT and The Buck Grimm Experience shooting up the charts towards the top, creating a bit of a log jam. Robot has made a tremendous move towards .500 and we even have a new leader. With 4 games and 8 picks left to go, it is pretty wide open, should be a great finish.

MU 1839: 33-23

The Boy's Wife: 32-24
RPT: 32-24

M7Tiger: 31-25
The Boy: 31-25
The Buck Grimm Experience: 31-25

Doug: 30-26

MCBOOM: 28-28
MU 46: 28-28
Big Head: 28-28

Mizzou Robot: 27-29

Intern: 26-30
Lucas: 26-30
Achmed: 26-30
MIZ ZOU: 26-30

Big Jay: 25-31
TailG8Queen: 25-31

The Beef: 24-32

pehS: 23-33

JKRone: 21-35

Overall Record: 553-567 (Darn I was close, the group was 33-7 for the USC game, but fell off a bit with OU/WVU)
Overall Winning Percentage: .494

definitely some strange movement

Unfortunately The Boy's Wife took a tumble with the last couple of games...but I guess I might need to come up with a tie-breaker for the last game depending on how this goes...

Tiebreaker #1:

If you're married to one of Rock M Nation's proprietors, you win. :-)

Just trying to get out of the...

cellar. Man, no wonder I avoid the sportsbook in Vegas!

Maybe it's because...

The Beef listed me as JKRone. That capital R is the reason for my demise, I'm sure of it.

by jkrone on Jan 3, 2008 1:51 PM CST reply actions

it has been changed on the spreadsheet

It now appears as JKrone and will appear that way henceforth. You have 4 games to prove that was the reason :-)

Thanks...

Now if I could only think of a new reason why I am so terrible. The gout? My wife made the picks? I didn't understand the rules? The BCS screwed me? I'll have to get back to you.

When in doubt....blame the gout (nm)

Within striking distance? That's cause for a

My record needs revision

You aren't going to believe this, but after I submitted my picks, I went back the next day and changed them - not on the actual comment, but I have a piece of paper right here with them on it. I have gotten EACH ONE of them right so far.

Really! Look! I'll mail it to you, that'll prove it. They're right here, written in pencil - and there are, like, no erase marks, and it even has the date written on it, right there in the corner. You can't make that up.

T-shirt, please.
