Lady DSoWal InsiderMemphis, Tennessee, United States6,131 postsJoined View profileMessageSoWal InsiderYeah, we need to get lucky tonight. According to the NCAA website Georgia Tech has 7 players out for the first half (3 curfew, 4 grades). The curfew violators get to play during the second half. Two of the players disqualified for academic reasons, Edwards and Hill, are starters. The QB Nesbitt is doubtful. At the time we made our picks, it was thought that Nesbitt would be well enough to play. Looks like he still hasn't recovered from surgery for a broken arm. :(:(
Go Anthony Allen!:clap:
I have really sucked in this bowl picks so far, and I'm furious with Toledo for throwing the game away last night, they get a TD to go ahead and then kick off a short kick and let the guy get back to the 42 and they motor down field and win with a field goal. I will be lucky to get even 15 correct out of the 33 the way things are going.

Beach Runnerbeats on hoodNear the ATL and in SoWal as often as possible15,269 postsJoined View profileMessagebeats on hoodRight now I'm tied for 147th place for bowls on ESPN. That means only 146 people have gotten all games correct so far out of about 250,000 people playing.
I changed my pick on ESPN from GT to Air Force this AM.

What the heck is wrong with that guy on Ga. Tech that he has such butterfingers to go and fumble on trying to field a punt, not once, but twice in a row, and this time it is deep in their own territory. He needs to sit the rest of the game on the bench. They are trying their hardest to throw this game away to Air Force, and will end up succeeding in doing so.

Beach Runnerbeats on hoodNear the ATL and in SoWal as often as possible15,269 postsJoined View profileMessagebeats on hoodGT is so one-dimensional without Nesbitt. Anthony Allen could only do so much with a team that's afraid of the passing game. I am sad that GT lost. :(
On ESPN I am tied for second because I changed my pick today to AF. Only 78 people out of 250,000 ahead of me.

79th of 250K is great, congratulations. Aren't you a mathematician? Aren't you with GA Tech? What a great school.

Lady DSoWal InsiderMemphis, Tennessee, United States6,131 postsJoined View profileMessageSoWal InsiderI've crashed and burned starting with Navy, they lost, Hawaii lost and had 3 fumbles, thought they had thrown some picks also, Toledo lost at the end and had 3 fumbles, Georgia Tech had 3 fumbles and I believe threw one pick, and tonight West Virginia lost and had 5 turnovers all in the second half. So frustrating.
Now for the good news and bad news depending upon your perspective.
If I look at the "total" gap between IRIS and each of us and compare that to the number of games where we are "different" than IRIS, no one can catch her. IRIS will be our Grand Champion for 2010-11!:clap:
If I look at the "bowl" gap between BR and each of us and compare that to the number of games where we are "different" than BR, anyone statistically can still win the BOWL title.😀
