NCAA Pick ems 2011

BR, I found after doing the massive researching last year I did not do near as well. I did virtually none these first three weeks and did better week 1 and 2, don't know what tomorrow holds for me. Started off bad last night though.

I hear ya. After all of my research, I'm tied with Smiling JOe, and he always picks the home team. No research needed.

Miss Kitty, I will be again. You've had yours posted before time these first two weeks. I was hoping maybe Mississippi State might have a prayer of beating LSU for once. Apparently not. I took a chance with them and it failed. Congrats to everyone else who went with LSU. That pick seals things for LSU.

Hubby is traveling a lot now. One of my colleagues unexpectedly took an early retirement this spring, so I am covering my classes and his classes. So we are very busy. We don't have time to "check the class attendance roll" (as we would do each week in the past).

Lady D, will you check to see who hasn't posted each week? I know that we are all adults and should take responsibility for getting our posts in on time, but posting pick'ems is not the first priority in our lives. That being said, we must have rules and deadlines to make this friendly game fair.

Will be glad to. I have the evenings available to do so. I sent messages to some the other day that did not post last week to remind them of this week but they have not responded to that either. I think we had 3 or 4 that got 0 last week. Those are the ones I contacted. I agree with you, they know when the deadline is.

Well, even though you missed last night, you have until 9 AM CST Saturday to post the rest. I decided that last year's rules were too strict. I picked 9 AM because that's when ESPN Game Day starts which gives major advice. I thought it was easier to remember if the deadline for each day is the same so that people don't have to remember different times for different days.

You'll probably be ahead of me even though I guessed LSU correctly. I am stinking at the pick'ems now, yet I actually spend time researching.

Please see post # 163.

I think I posted mine, but if I didn't I choose everyone on the right hand side.

Lady D, you'll like this -- ESPN just picked TN to upset the Gators!

Ha BR, not likely to happen, unless it was a miracle. The last time the Vols beat Florida was in 2004. Vols are underdogs by around 9 points. I would be happy if they do win. It depends on Bray and his two good receivers, and our offensive line protecting him. I know nothing about the Gators this year, just know both teams have more young players than veteran players.

I thought this news would make your day. ESPN likes the TN quarterback.

Hubby is going to Barcelona this evening. So that he doesn't miss any of the game, he's leaving early for the ATL airport so he can watch the entire game in the Sky Club.

I hope it's so. But I have no confidence in our guys against good teams like the Gators and Bama and LSU. They cannot beat them. This needs to be the Vols year.
