I'm a glutton for punishment when it comes to VT. There really is no excuse for making such a poor pick.

It's a conspiracy by Trn. He keeps putting them in and we keep picking them. And because we keep picking them he keeps putting them in. And my score goes down another notch.

Just count Thursday against Gatr but let the rest of his picks stand.

Al1 said he was traveling this week but I am guessing he hasn't been online since. That said, if he gets his picks in before tonight's game, the same concession made for Gatr should be made for him as well. After tonight, I would say all bets are off and gets a donut.

Agree.

Friday morning and we got two issues we need to address:

1. Gatr was late with picks. We all know he forfeits the Thursday night game...picked after kickoff, so that's a loss. As to the rest, it is a violation of the rules, so, unless the rest of the group shows mercy, he would take an 0-15. I hate to do that, because the code is more guidelines than rules, but I'll act at the direction of the group.

I don't want anyone to lose on a technicality, and his excuse of working late and connection issues are good enough for me. I vote that his picks, save for Thursday, be valid.

2. Al1 didn't make any picks at all. Did he quit? Forget?

Zero for Thursday, count the rest. That happened to me last year when I didn't get 'em in on time. For the rest of the year, or starting next year, (or never if you don't like the idea), here's a suggestion. Anybody who doesn't get THEIR OWN picks in on time automatically defaults to all home teams, or all away, or all dogs, or whatever you, as Supreme Leader, decide beforehand. That way, you don't have to babysit and remind people to get their picks in, and anyone who is travelling, or drunk, or just plain forgot, isn't facing an automatic 0-15. Eliminates the idea of someone manipulating the standings by making picks for someone else, too.

Good suggestion. I think that might be the best idea for next year.

Ok. So far by my count, we have about 8 ayes, and 1 no.

So...for now....the ayes are above the nos.

ET did the math last yr, as I remember, IF you did the fav, you were up by X%. I followed it for a bit and it was like 6X% winners. Not sure that's the case this yr. But I like the idea using whatever.

I vote just the one loss for Gatr.

The movie is pretty recent one, and was better than I expected going in to watch it.

It wasn't me last year that did that. I'm not that smart.

If Trn would grant me a switch from South Carolina to Auburn, I'd have 14 remaining favorites as a test balloon this week. My other dog was VT and we all know what happened on that one.

What do you say Trn, feel like granting a one-time change so I can be the test balloon with 14 favored picks remaining? Either way, I'll be satisfied regardless of the result.

I bled at work yesterday. Lost a chunk of skin off my finger when a palet jack fell on it. Does that count?
