The rule is to post the change in the body of the thread and to make a separate new thread announcing the change to Trn.

Mark did make the change in plenty of time before the game so I vote 1-0. I don't have an elite sports mind, but that's the way I see it.

The rule is two fold:

1) Make a separate post so I can read it (even though I meant a new thread, it only says "post" so I think you're ok with that); AND

2) Edit your original pick post to reflect the change.

You didn't do number 2, but I'm not going to bust your hump over it. No loss given as far as I'm concerned, if I came back and won by 2 points, it wouldn't feel fair, and if I win by 4 or more, it wouldn't have mattered, so like I said...I think it should stay a win.

I believe it's all in good fun across the board.

here i am thinkin secretariat and all of a sudden the inquiry light is up. lol. sorry... didn't know i was changing a pick the wrong way. should i have waited until halftime? love the humorous replies (so if someone would please post something funny on this thread that would be great-hahaha) but seriously if i didn't do it right go ahead and count it as a miss.

mark scott
tosu 81

I think the FSU revised pick should count. Now, if it were Mike....different story altogether.

He wouldn't go 0-15. Just a loss for that game....but I'm not in favor of that either.

Just raggen on him a bit. All in good fun, what. Mark's a pal. Besides I'm tooooo far down for it to make a difference.

You say that, but ol' Mark is due for a massive brainfart. He's the only cat who hasn't had a loser week. He's due. Big time.

A 4-11 week sounds like it would hit the spot. Especially if the vast majority of those 11 were the ones we differ on...

Where's the OldGray one. I'm shocked she hasn't chimed in on this. She seems to have a grasp on what is right or wrong with this contest.

You say that, but ol' Mark is due for a massive brainfart. He's the only cat who hasn't had a loser week. He's due. Big time.

A 4-11 week sounds like it would hit the spot. Especially if the vast majority of those 11 were the ones we differ on...

Perhaps so but from what I've seen so far I'll go with quand les poules auront des dents. Though I hope your right. He'll chalk line it and be assured of 60% sooner rather than later. Though it isn't allowed, I almost would like the option to enter "opposite Mark" as my entry. Then if he does brain cramp I can zoom. But statistically that's only a 30% play.

I think we should penilize Lee 2 games off the top for being gay.
