Text copy of today's esp conversation between Trn & Daleko.

Dk: Trn
Trn: Ya
Dk: Dk
Trn: Ya
Dk: I have a request
Trn: Ya
Dk: Well, you know last yrs contest was between you and I and that I used my ol' laser eyed yellow lab to retrieve field dummies to make my picks
Trn: Ya
Dk: The old lab isn't what she used to be and you know how crappy I am at this and without her how much I suck, as noted by my performance two yrs ago
Trn: <Interrupting> Dk is there a point to be made here somewhere in my lifetime. I have a meeting with a Euro starlet in SoBe, who wants to pay me $10G for a consult but I'm probably gonna have to jump her bones.
Dk: And the problem is?
Trn: She has a "twin" girlfriend who'll want to join in.
Dk: OK then, I'll be quick and hopefully you won't be. The dog takes carprofen for her hips. But she can only take it so often and it only lasts so long. She can't retrieve more than three games at a time and then needs to rest.
Trn: <Irritiably> WHAT'S YOUR POINT?
Dk: Given this seems to be your week to be benevolent, she can't make my picks in time so,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,  how about I get an extra point or two a week because of my handicap?
Trn: NO. 
Dk: Come on Trn.
Trn: NOT ONLY NO BUT F*CK NO. Get another dog.
Dk: <runs over to the little woman> Trn says we have to get another dog.
MsDk: Not only no but frick no. Get another wife.
Dk: Ok then Trn. But thanks anyway. I guess I gotta win on my own merits. That's hardly fair.

The real question here regarding whether to give you extra points...what are the measurements of the starlet, and does she want me?

Because if she does, I'd be more willing to consider extra points. As long as you're fantasizing about extra points....this gal better be smokin'.

Robb....you're the last one on the clock.

As long as we are in the fantasy world. They both are, they like each other as well AND they'll wear FSU edible pasties.

While I was traveling my wife went into labor this morning at the breakfast table. I had to deliver the kid myself. Couldn't find the kitchen shears, so used a steak knife to cut the cord, and sliced off the tip of my finger. Hurt so bad I dropped the knife and stabbed myself in the foot. I may need another 5 minutes to get my picks in.

FIFY

Also...did you tell her you're dropping a deuce?

Pick Breakdowns for the week:

Players prefer UCLA 13-7
Players prefer Oklahoma State 13-7
Players prefer South Carolina 15-5
Players prefer Texas A&M 11-9 (really looking forward to this one on Saturday)
Players prefer Minnesota 11-9
Players prefer California 12-8
Players prefer USC 14-6
Players prefer Clemson 18-2 (I hate games like this...but ya gotta admit, this week's lineup is pretty weak)
Players prefer Tennessee 14-6 (mild surprise there)
Players prefer Cincinati 12-8 (another one I'm looking forward to watching)
Players prefer Duke 16-4
Players prefer Baylor 17-3 (another one I hate)

It does bear noting that in the two blowout games (UNC-Clemson and Baylor-ISU), the cat was one of the picks in the minority.

Does he (or isn't he a she?) know something we don't?

[Deleted]

I was surprised you didn't put Stanford at UDub on the list. That will be an entertaining game.

After the Thursday night games:

3 players at 2-0 (Coaltrain/ET/Max)
14 players at 1-1
3 players at 0-2 (cb/steaksauce/OU)
