Rock M Nation Bowl Pick 'Em: Updated 1/3 (2:30 p.m.)

by The Beef on Jan 3, 2009 2:32 PM CST in Contests

Ugh..Black Friday it was for us. Only ONE person got the TTech/Ole Miss game completely correct (The Tailgate Queen) and only four going over .500 on the day (The Boy, rannpb, Transmogrified Tiger, and Zou Dave). Hell, we even had a 0'fer on the day. With only four games left, still plenty of wiggle room at the top for the title, but I believe the dream of .500 is out the window at this point.

(Edit: I went ahead and added the UCONN/Buffalo game, which really killed the field as only two people (myself and MU1839) had UCONN and the over and the majority had Buffalo and under The standings are now up to date with three games remaining)

I'm within 4 of the lead!

I assume it’s mathematically impossible for me to win, but…I didn’t embarrass myself! That’s goal #1 of entering any pool…

I don't think I can make up 3 games

but I’m gunning for a top 5 or even 3 finish. Thanks Utah!

I picked ole miss and the over

unless I dont understand how this exactly works, (I just made picks without really thinking) I am fairly certain I got that one correct.

I just dont like giving you any credit

you did have it and it was scored correctly…I just missed it when I was going back over all the numbers

I understand.

you can take back the credit if you want. I know why

No, seriously...

…my futility is almost impressive at this point. I have found a way to pick incorrectly at a better clip than the leaders have picked correctly. That deserves some sort of award, right?

Yes, if you’d picked against your intuition every time, you’d be winning by three games. Shoulda pulled a Costanza…

yesterday was a rough day!

I watched the games with one eye covered. Hopefully I will do better in the upcoming games.
