  1. I meant to ask if either of you (or both) are interested in participating in the ScalpEm.com Top 25?

  2. i would like to thank the clemson tigers for proving that this is a totally different team this year. my prediction is that although we still have a tough schedule, that i will still be able to use those acc championship tickets i bought back in august.
    i would also like to thank the crazy old lady who sits in front of me at every game. this weeks entertainment during the second half of the third quarter, was this lady swearing and ranting about some guy 8 seats down spitting in her pocketbook. she then proceeded to climb on myself, the nice people from walhalla next to me and craig, all the while craig telling her to take her prozac. she then dragged two security guards up to our seats, each who questioned all and found no evidence or witnesses of flying saliva. after she climbed over all of us to get back to her seat in the row in FRONT of us, she started calling the youngsters liars. sorry about the rant but it was entertaining until she pulled out her knitting.
    and last but not least, thank you chili and wm for allowing me to remain and lead you all to jacksonville and in the standings. i really think that we should be in the running for the macallan, because after ya'll's weekend, you should not be drinking brown liquor.

  3. Lola you're right about us being careful around brown liqour, but Willy Mac and I both have a penchant for whiskey and scotch, and Macallan 18 Fine Oak being about a 120 dollar bottle of scotch, it will be sipped occasionally, not slurped gregariously like the Maker's was. The original deal was going to be just me and Willy competing for the booze and I think it'll stay that way but whoever is the highest ranked other than us two should get something Danny or Clemson related.

  4. Guys, I had a hard week last week, that's why Chili picked up the slack, also, I'll try to make a decent post, once I remove my nose from the back of my head.

  7. N.C. State helped you guys out tremendously since you'll win the head-to-head with FSU.

    But do you really think you'll get by both GT and VT? If not... it's a long list of 2 loss Atlantic Division teams... with BC or FSU the higher ranked team.

  8. remind me again what the numbers mean?

    does -7 mean i was wrong on 7 games, or is that result of (right - wrong)?

  9. Brad, that means you've gotten 7 wrong in 4 weeks. Not bad, 33-7.

  11. Louisiana Tech @ Clemson - Clemson
    i want to say that they'll cover, but the pain still lingers from what BC did to yall(and my parlay) that weekend.

    Virginia @ Duke - Duke
    this game's gonna be like playing Bond (N64) on slaps-only, Duke wins because i see them choosing Jungle Commando, or maybe Moonranker Elite

    Virginia Tech @ Georgia Tech - Va. Tech

    Ohio State @ Iowa - Ohio State
    should be a great game, but it's the year of the Buckeye.

    Texas Tech @ Texas A&M - A&M
    it will be a shootout, but the Ags will eat clock and shit TDs with their running game.

    California @ Oregon State - Cal
    the beavers get pounded

    Rutgers @ South Florida - Rutgers
    i hate hate HATE that Rutgers is ranked and getting so much press, go USF...alas i pick the school from New Jersey, i thought all of the state's football fields were converted to lacrosse anyways..

    Michigan @ Minnesota - Michigan
    should be a good matchup of a good running team vs. top ranked run defense.

    Navy @ UConn - UConn
    with these two ground oriented offenses, this game should be the shortest of the whole weekend.
