Rock M Nation Bowl Pick 'Em Update: Tied at the Top

by The Beef on Jan 3, 2010 11:30 AM CST in Contests

With only four games (and eight picks) remaining, yesterday brought some new faces into the mix, as only a few people (but including yours truly) managed to go under .500 on the day. With folks firing off 7-3's and 8-2, we had some more movement at the top, including D-Sing, who is currently on a 16-4 streak, fly up to tie Mrs. Bill C. egp (of a 13-7 streak) joined Wooderson just a couple of wins back in 2nd place. No games again until tomorrow night, where our top 4 do differ on their picks, so expect some additional movement. As always, if you want to see what you have on tap for tomorrow, feel free to click here and find your original entry.

Standings after the jump, but a solid day for the contest as a whole, as the winning percentage moved almost .02, which is tough to do this late in the game.

You are welcome

for my single-handed effort to tank the win-loss percentage over the last two days.

Once my pants are on, I make gold records.

Oh it most certainly wasn't single-handed...

I went from one game back to ten games back in two days…I’m relatively proud of that myself.

I take all credit for our now-clinched win in the couples contest.

Yep. All credit.

Not that I want to draw paralells...

but I had managed to get my hopes up through over-achieving performances early in the competition… and I allowed my spirits to raise, only to have them dashed when the chips were down… This is really where I expected end up, however :)

no mentioning of a two percentage hike in the overall winning percentage?

.479 is where we are as a group after 2 years

So it would be nice to finish strong, but it is going to be a tough road to get us back to .500 :-)

I am personally pleased with how I have rallied after a tough start

Now it’s just a matter of seeing if I finish in this stretch run like the Yankees or the Mets.

Tip my MU cap to Mrs Bill

That gal has been at or near the top from beginning to end, and right now sits tied for the lead with a .600 winning percentage. A consistent winner with class . . . Bill, did Mike Alden find her for you?
