stevasaurus 22,705 #4 Posted December 13, 2012 Duff, I did not want to get to crazy typing all of that out...I started with the first Big Ten game and ran them out. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,705 #5 Posted December 13, 2012 I've never been any good at picking the Bowl games...I pick to many games that I want to go in a certain direction. Actually, if you look, all of the games are paired with teams that have close to or the same record...so any team can win here. Here are my picks:: MINNESOTA, AIR FORCE, NAVY, SYRACUSE, OREGON ST., MICHIGAN ST., VANDERBILT, GEORGIA TECH, IOWA ST., LSU, OKLAHOMA ST., NORTHWESTERN, GEORGIA, MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN, NORTHERN ILL., FLORIDA, OREGON, OKLAHOMA, PITTSBURGH, ARKANSAS ST., NOTRE DAME 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimD 3,345 #6 Posted December 13, 2012 TEXAS TECH, AIR FORCE, ARIZONA ST., WEST VIRGINIA, OREGON ST., MICHIGAN ST., N. C. STATE, SOUTHERN CAL, TULSA, LSU, PURDUE, NORTHWESTERN, GEORGIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, STANFORD, NORTHERN ILLINOIS, FLORIDA, OREGON, OKLAHOMA, PITTSBURGH, KENT ST., NOTRE DAME. I picked these games with my head, not my heart, which means absolutely nothing other than I hope the Big Ten teams win. Every thing else is a crap shoot. :eusa-think: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duff 206 #7 Posted December 14, 2012 Duff, I did not want to get to crazy typing all of that out...I started with the first Big Ten game and ran them out. No worries! I appreciate the effort - and the fun! Duff :thumbs: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brrly1 1,146 #16 Posted December 27, 2012 Well, My picks look pretty much the same as yours Mr. Stevasaurus, basically because they are your picks. Pro Big Ten here guys, nothing has changed. With our picks being the same, Do Not Shake hands with Scott M. at all next year. Bump knuckles or something goofy like that. Sorry Scott Go Hawkeyes!!!

stevasaurus 22,705 #17 Posted December 27, 2012 John, you are in trouble if you picked the same as me. I know I went with the Big Ten, but they are the underdogs in every bowl game this year. You might have done better picking the teams that I did not. Rest assured, if I see Scott next year, I will turn and walk the other way, shake hands from a distance or snap my fingers and turn invisible. It is the only way to know for sure next year. BTW...I sent him a PM and he was going to get his picks in...Bob also.. The first game is tomorrow night...Minnesota vs Texas Tech 8:00 CST ESPN. Get your picks in gents. :woohoo: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,705 #23 Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) It was easy for me to lay in bed sick and watch the games yesterday, I did not have the strength to do anything else. I watched all the games and flicked between the 2 that were on at the same time. I think it was 1:00AM this morning when the Mich St. game was over. So far, as the pool games are concerned, the two Big Ten games have been the best to watch, but the Syracuse game was pretty good to...(first time I have seen snow this year). The winners yesterday were Rice...Arizona St...Texas...Syracuse...Michigan St. JD did the best yesterday with 4 of the 5 games picked. JD...........................4 - 2 DUKE......................4 - 2 JIMD.......................3 - 3 DUFF......................3 - 3 BK..........................3 - 3 BRRLY....................2 - 4 SQUONK................2 - 4 STEVE...................2 - 4 :) Edited December 30, 2012 by stevasaurus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,705 #25 Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) Ya Mike, but Brrly will be the last name on the list, since he pick the same teams I did. He should have picked at least one team different. Looking at the picks...a lot can happen on Monday and Tuesday....may be hard to come back after that...need to hang in there tough...lots of emotions with some of these guys with their picks when it gets down to crunch time. If the Big Ten plays better then they are rated... :happy-jumpeveryone: :happy-jumpeveryone: Edited December 30, 2012 by stevasaurus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
