Since I only realized about seven weeks ago that you play this pick em game I am somewhat unsure about how it is played. When do you start? Is it the first week of the season, or does it begin with conference play? What about the bowl season? Do you do all bowl games? Help a fella understand, please.

"....take the Barwuss Five Step Plan"-JG-

Is that the grueling ordeal that has the U of Mummmers violating NCAA Rules? The one that really separates the yellow pantalooned ones from the rest in the 2nd half and you get to drink all the choco milk??

Sign me up. Then stand back and wait 'til MY players get here.

You are a gentleman and a scholar for putting on this fun diversion from our daily travails. All's I gots to say is: remember who you got that fine brewski from! P.S. There's more where that came from if I win. Shhh!

You must be a happy man today. MSU wins. Plus I think you picked up a couple of extra points in your competition.

Hope your post is feeling better today.

Michigan's team is broke in every possible way and I just dont see Michigan scoring over 30 points. Michigan will be lucky to score 17. Final score Purdue 24 Michigan 17. Rich Rod has driven this team right into the ground. He says he needs more time to build a championship team however, lets not forget he took over a prety darn good team. Rich Rod is only using this for an excuse. Rich Rod has caused Michigan to lose just about every record they had held prior to his arrival.

This weeks Picks:

UM 31 PU 28

MSU 42 WMU 7

OSU 17 PSU 14

Fox seem to be the only person to challenge Ike. We need Ike to go into a funk and give up some ground.

You do not have a clue at how much fun you have caused. For example, when OSU was up 45 to nothing, I was explaining to my son this whole thing and how I needed five more points to close the gap with Ike. My son and I started laughing at the probability of getting five points. I needed a safety and a field goal. Then NMS was punting from their own five. My son starting laughing, saying watch NMS have a bad snap and you get your two points. I mean we were both on the edge of the couch and it was a bad snap. We both about fell off the couch watching the play. Fun stuff.

A few weeks ago, OSU was tearing up Illinois or Indiana, forgot which one. Anyways, I had two extra points coming two me if OSU kept them out of the endzone. The other team was getting drilled bus somehow scored on the very last play of the game when it had no impact on the game whatsover except to steal two points from me. Ugh! Anyways Johnny, thanks for the contest. Like I said. I don't think you realize how much fun your idea has caused.

Yeah, I'm watching the game. But TC wanted to give me a little present awhile back so I wanted to give him a gift back in return. It's all about that love thang.

Sorry, missed that post of yours last night.

I have it on good authority that the Play Nice warning is directed exclusively at you but they used a public posting just for cosmetics. Remember, you and I are sitting on "color" warnings (and I, on a content warning for a link to a shot of Gisele Bundchen's behind wearing only one string of "floss"). Mind you, the statute of limitations has probably expired on those warnings.

Anyway, shape up.

I commend you for all the work you put into this board and the pick'ems. Fox thinks he is getting close to Ike. I thought that also. He appears to be invincible.

Truly believe State can beat Iowa, UM has a chance against PSU, If State beats Iowa, the Buckeyes will also beat them, since it is the final game in CBus this year. IMO, the Buckeyes run the table. The vest is about to crack the whip. Pryor isn't as bad as he seems, but the o-line needs help to make him more effective.

Check your email. I sent you one on Monday about this coming weekend. Only got tomorrow to get things ready, and I've got a couple of work appointments as well. Sure hate it when work gets in the way of fun!

I feel we all are fighting an uphill battle to unseat IKE since he is a great handicaper. Ok, my early picks:

MSU 35 Ill 17 (this could be Zookers last season.

Iowa 24 UM 10 (too much talent in Iowa)

OSU 27 Wisc 21 (Wis is underated)

Wash rinse SPIN

KN had a choice, who knows if SB will ever get hurt (which happened)or enter the draft early or what. So he came to State. It's kinda picking the wrong checkout isle at the Piggly Wiggly.
