When folks on the Oklahoma sideline started holding up four fingers at the end of the third quarter, was that to get them ready for the fourth quarter, or to represent their BCS record at the time? If the latter, they’ll need to add the thumb next year.

My New Favorite Animal
Isn’t this a beautiful, majestic, noble creature? Much more noble than, say, a law-breaking, land-grabbing thief, wouldn’t you say?
Oh, and WAR EAGLE! (sorry, Micah, I couldn’t help myself)
The Big Game
I had intended to do a short reprise of the NFL picks contest by sharing all the contestants’ Super Bowl picks here, but I wasn’t able to get everyone’s selection in, so I’ll just share with you what Joel Bezaire, whose blog, Crummy Church Signs, is one of the funniest on the web, sent me [...]
B C Mess
[I'll return to substantive posting soon, but first, I need to get this off my chest. Bear with me.]
I do not want to be misunderstood by Florida Gators fans (especially Micah) who might take this post as a denigration of their team’s achievement in the BCS “National Championship” game. It is not intended as such. [...]
Week Seventeen (and Contest) Wrap-Up
Well, the 2006 season is in the books, and so is this contest. Appropriately, Robin Foster won the final week, tying with Joe Kennedy at 12-4 in the season’s final week.
I say it was appropriate because Robin (pictured here with his wife) was also the runaway overall winner. His .656 performance in picking the winners [...]
Week Sixteen Wrap-Up
As is so often the case, unanimity in our contest has once again proven to be the kiss of death, as the only winner on which we all agreed this week was the Colts. So much for that.
“Tank” McPheeters is the winner in week sixteen, his 12-4 performance edging out Joe Kennedy and Robin Foster, [...]
Week Fifteen Wrap-Up
In a week that saw some ugly blowouts, including my Upset Special Pick of the Week in which the Texans got pantsed by the Patriots, our picks certainly could have been worse. Sure, a couple of guys were 8-8, but that keeps us well above .500 as a group, and that’s not too shabby.
Our unanimous [...]
Week Fourteen Wrap-Up
The Bears tried to scare us, being down in the second quarter, but fortunately the Rams failed to show up for the second half, and the Bears won handily. This means that we only whiffed on two of our four unanimous picks this week, with the Cardinals and the Bills doing what none of us [...]
Week Thirteen Wrap-Up
Well, I’m up in the middle of the night to head to Arlington, but first things first – I can’t neglect the picks. However, I don’t have time to put in all the links or my usual commentary, so I’ll depend on you to add commentary to the comments section.
Congrats to Robin Foster (second week [...]
Week Twelve Wrap-Up
As a group, it was a pretty good Thanksgiving week overall. For me individually, not so much. In fact, it was my personal worst week of the contest so far. But hey, it’s not about me, right?
Robin Foster dominated this week’s picks, and his 13-3 performance moved him from a tie for fourth overall into [...]
