*** whispers *** Well THN didn't get that your first poast was a joke, so I'm just trying to help out.

Yeah, I was sure the last question would give it away, haha.

 

[GACMAN]

When listing my picks, do I need to state the bowl game they're playing in like Gac did?

I should get an award for being the torchbearer!!!!

 

[Raising Heel]

Bump. Still a bunch of people who needs to make their picks. This thread probably should've been poasted sooner. [ducks]

All picks are in except for @andythebigman -- your move, good sir. I'll try to reach out to him offline.

ETA: Damn, my call log doesn't go that far back on my phone, so I do not have his number.

He was on the boards last night, and you had tagged him in the OP, so hopefully he doesn't forget.

Also, re: your call log, whaaaaa? One other option is to log onto your wireless carrier's website and pull up a call log from your old bill. You know the date and approximate time of the call since you were giving him a parking pass for the football game.

 

[BillyL]

I should think he'd be listed under 'bigman' . . . I don't know how many Andy Theodores there are with that last name tho ..

It's a company phone so I don't have access to that lol. I actually did find his number and shot him a text but didn't hear back. Even if he just misses the Grambling game, he'll be fine. As long as he picks the other ones.

 

[Raising Heel]

Anybody have an issue with me serving as his proxy for that game? I have no dog in the hunt, and making a random pick is better than making no pick at all.

Assuming there are no objections, I'll pick Grambling for him.

I don't have a problem with it. I've reached out, but no word. I'm at work, so I can't really keep reaching out.

If anyone complains you could just point them to your record in the weekly pick'em contest. It sure puts any concerns of mine to rest.

You realize I didn't make any picks the last 2-3 weeks, right? I was a respectable 0.500 before that. Allow me to be the second person today to tell you neener neener.

 

[Raising Heel]

I missed the start of the UNM-UTSA game, but I'm going to make proxy picks for him for the rest of the games today as well. Hopefully he shows up soon.

I'll pick the team that received the majority of picks from other poasters.

 

[toophly1124]

You guys seem to know him so I'm sure it's cool but how does one join a contest (esp w one involving money), then just forget the first picks?

 

[coryfly]

Yeah, you guys are a lot nicer than me, lol.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

F you Grambling.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Central's helmets look cool but when that dude ripped his off, he cost his team the game. What a dumb-A.

 

[GACMAN]

New Mexico's defense sucks!!!!!!!!

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Oh hello backdoor UTSA cover

 

[GACMAN]

Oh hello backdoor UTSA cover

Thanks to the horrible New Mexico defense giving up a 4th and 15....idiots!!!!

 

[GACMAN]

Congrats to New Mexico though...they have royally SUCKED for a long time. Mike Locksley, former Maryland Assistant, was the worst head coach in football history. Bob Davie has somewhat resurrected that program......9 wins in one year probably hasn't happened to UNM in 20 plus years!!

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Way to go Blake Anderson and Arkansas State so far!!! I friggin picked them and then changed my mind and went with UCF.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

** Please note I'm changing my pick from Southern Miss -5.5 to Louisiana-Lafayette +5.5

This game does not kick off until 9 p.m. tonight. This is how everyone should change picks, for future reference. Please do not edit your original post because there will be no way to know if you've changed games that have already happened.

Thanks, Management.

 

[GACMAN]

Next round I am going to make my picks...then I am going to submit the opposite team.....I might get something right then!!!!!!
