    Not sure of anyone is watching the orange bowl, but it feels like Stanford should be up by more than one...

    I thought the same about the time you posted it----but by the end (when I was watching shome $hitty movie) I wished it was a little closer, lol

    ilminated?
    no illumination... so I guessed on some... who really knows anything about Middle Tennessee State anyway?
    I know a few things. . .

    1. They are in Tennessee.
    2. In Tennessee, they are in the middle.
    3. They have a football team that is apparently playing this week.
    I know that, as of today, I am a Middle Tennessee Fan!!! WOO HOO!! GO... uh.... hang on... gotta google them and find out what their mascot is...ok... got it...

    GOOOOO BLUE RAIDERS!!!

    defensive battle in the GoDaddy.com bowl... 3 min into the 2nd and it's 14-14 and there have been no punts or turnovers... get the ball, score a TD... whoever has it last wins....

    Well guys, we are down to two more games. To those of us that are still in it good luck! I usually only have a bet on one or two games during the bowl season. It's been fun to have something riding on all games this year. I don't think I have missed a game (I didn't watch every second of every game though). Thanks again for all the fun guys!!!

    Whats the update?

    firetruckguy:
    Whats the update?
    Unofficially this is what I have:
    Bobbo2009 21
    Firetruckguy 20
    Undulac, Robbyras 19
    JZ, Bandy, Red 17
    King, Sirfoster 16
    Vulchor, Zeebra 15
    Dennis 14

    I think they are right. I haven't doubled checked them in a couple of days though.
  • undulacundulac Posts: 1,129
    Oh did I royally screw up!!!! I just read the updates and saw that I had 19 points. I'm in another league online and have 20 points and used the same pics so I'm wondering why the discrepancy. Well, jackass me accidentally typed in Tennessee when I wanted North Carolina. That would have given me 20 points and feeling much better. That will teach me to wait until the last second and not double check my work. I still have a shot for second, but I think it's too little too late. This was fun and defiantly worth it. Thanks Volchar again for starting this!

    If Nevada can hold on we'll have a 3 way tie for second... and I'm the only joker who picked Nike University... 33-30 Oregon sounds good to me

    I picked UO, since I do live in Oregon and go to at least one game a year. Tomorrow night will be epic.

    So here we go. Since the winner has been determined, it is a race for second. If Oregon wins, you get second. If Auburn wins, myself and firetruck tie for second and it goes to the points. (Also, please see my last post just so you can rub it in. I feel like wrapping a 9 iron around my neck!!) haha
  • VulchorVulchor Posts: 4,848 ✭✭✭✭
    Sooooo...we are saying Bobbo is the winner???(I think so anyway) AND CONGRATS!!!

    Bobbo------please PM you address to myself, SirFoster, JZ, Dennisking, RedTail, and King JK. You will be receiving winnings from each of us.

    Who ever finishes 2nd, please PM your addy to the remaining players (except the winner) to claim your winnings over us obviously losers;)
  • undulacundulac Posts: 1,129
    Vulchor, how does the tie breaker work? If Oregon wins tonight, robbyras get second alone and it won't make a difference. If AU win, myself and firetruck guy tie. Is it closest to the score? Are you allowed to go over? We also had to pick the Rose Bowl game. Does that count or only if we tie the championship game? It's no big deal, I just would like to know so I have a little more interest in tonights game if I knew the rules. Thanks!!!

    OUCH!! That really sucks man. I did something like that once in a March Madness pool. Cost myself a few bucks because I didn't notice I wrote down the wrong team to win it in the finals. Good luck to you in tonights game!! To be fair though, good luck to Rob and Firetruck guy as well!

    Thanks!! I still can't believe I got lucky enough to take this down. After something that happened this morning in my personal life this win has helped me feel a little better. Thanks again Vulchor for putting this together. I had fun.
    Good Luck to you guys still fighting out for second place.

    Ok Undulac....I will try to answer simply, but often I get long winded, lol

    OU wins----RobbyRas winsAuburn wins, there is a tie. Closest pick to the actual score (over or under doesnt matter) would then win.------If that is a tie, goes to whoever was closer in the total points scored in the Rose Bowl (over under doesnt count here either)

    Congrats to Bobbo on his win, way to go.

    Good luck to Firetruckguy and undulac with Auburn and to Robbyras who has Oregon.

    I am kind of like a stats nut guy and here are a few interesting things from the pool this year.

    Longest winning streak goes to undulac with 11 consecutive wins.

    Longest LOSING streak goes to Bandyt09 with 10.

    No one thought that Utah would beat Boise St as we all picked Boise St.
    Conversely, no one felt any love for Central Florida as we all thought Georgia was the one.

    Bobbo2009 was the only one that "knew" Tulsa would take down Hawaii.

    Dennisking felt the love for Army as wel all went with the dance partner of SMU.

    Robbyras went out on a limb with Washington and made everyone else look foolish for sticking with Nebraska.

    Hope someone else finds this as interesting as I do.
  • VulchorVulchor Posts: 4,848 ✭✭✭✭
    I think you gave us similar stuff on the game last year man----I love that stuff. Games like the one for Robby can be the huge---Bobbo too obviously.......So can picking nearly every game wrong like I did , LOLLLLLLLLLLL..............Glad everyone seemed to enjoy the game....were only 11 months from doing it all again;)
  • undulacundulac Posts: 1,129
    Okay, here we go. . .

    Congrats to bobbo for winning!!!

    Like Volchor stated, if Oregon wins, Robby gets second place and it's over.

    If Auburn wins, there are three scenarios. . .

    Total points are 72 or under - firetruckguy comes in second.
    Exactly 73 point are scored - it would be an exact tie which would go to the Rose Bowl points and I would come in second since I was closer in points to the final score.
    Total points are 74 or higher - I would finish in second.

    This way everybody is on the same page and we all have interest in tonights game. I still want to kick myself though. lol
