Yeah, I'm not sure why it took them so long. I had assumed they would be up Monday morning.

My picks are done! Modesty forbids reminding everyone who won last year.

(Or was it the year before? It sucks not having our history any more.)

I was the 2012 Champ. 11th out of 18 in 2011, 10th out of 11 in 2010 and 6th out of 22 in 2009.

Maybe it was the year before. I know that I won one bowl pick 'em and I won the NCAA tournament when there was a tiny number of participants and I think nobody who was still alive had any of the final four right. I wish we could have kept our history from the old board so that we could have a record of such things.

Anyway, bowl games start tomorrow so don't forget to make your picks everyone!

Come on everyone - get those picks in! Earn the adoration of your fellow UWSers by picking the winning bracket!

Yes, Kong won last year beating me by the hair of his chinny chin chin.

I'm 2 for 3 so far. I should have known that coach from Wazzu, who likes to tie up young men in closets, would choke.

Mike Leech the only coach in the world with worse clock management skill than Mike London.

HokieFanDC was #1 of 22 in 2009, 7 of 11 in 2010, absent in 2011 and 2012, but ready to claim the trophy again.

I nominate TMO2 as official beer picker. Otherwise, we'll end up getting giant cases of Milwaukee's Best.

Welpers missed on Pitt but a good win for the Panthers, and the ACC, especially with Savage knocked out of the game.

I hadn't noticed that if you clicked on your name, it gives you your past performance. Apparently, I won the NCAA tournament this year and in 2012 and was 2nd in bowl pick'em two years ago. (I could have sworn I won bowl pick'em one year. I guess it was under a different account before 2010 ... I didn't think it was that long ago.)

The Sam Adams Winter Sampler case is pretty good, especially the Cherry Chocolate Stout. They don't sell it separately. And the case can be purchased right now.

Welpers I did pick UCLA.

oaktonhokie · Post by **oaktonhokie** » Wed Jan 01, 2014 7:03 pm

I'm in last place.

Can't understand it. I picked Texas over Oregon, dook over aTm and tech over ucla.

They didn't win....?

I pass my crown to 80. I just hope he's as good of an ambassador for UWS as I was.

Well done, Larry! Best part of this thread is knowing first names now.

I was 4th, and no my name isn't jimbo. That was in honor of Jimbo Fisher and my highest pick. Last year I was second. Like Beamer, I cannot win the big game so next year I am taking a new strategy. I am going to put my bigger points in the earlier games. There seem to be less upsets in the early games....at least it seemed that way.

Congrats 80!!!!
