    I notice that the teams in my Yahoo InsideTexas group are different from the teams in our Skybox group.

    The teams each week are picked randomly by Yahoo Sports. I have no idea why the teams for your Inside Texas Group would be different.

    I did some additional research and there are some options in the group settings. I choose "Use Yahoo default for choice of games"

    That must be it, because my Inside Texas group always has more B12 games.

    Guess who wins week #7? I cannot ever remember winning the weekly contest. NAbuck wins with a score of 288, John Deere was second with 280 and Cheesecurdwolverine third with 278. Bear Down Rick leads in total points with 1803, Orange Sunglasses is second with 1798 and I am third with 1792 points. The contest is tightening up a bit as we moved through the second half of the season.

    Stu, confidence points can be cruel at times. I was surprised that you allocated so many points to Maryland?

    Purdue is really banged up...Rondale Moore out...Sindelar done for the season...defense kind of tattered also...I had no idea Plummer was gonna come on like that and our freshmen were gonna play so well.

    Don, getting back to my confidence points...I just read that all five Purdue touchdowns were scored by true freshmen. Did not see that coming...speaks well for our future. I know it's just Maryland but I've seen the Terps do some good things.

    Plummer: 3 TD passes
    Bell: 2 TD rec
    Wright: TD rec
    Doerue: rush TD
    Trice: INT ret TD

    Whoever I pick for Iowa-Purdue it could be a very close game...

    I saw that about the freshmen a day or so ago, certainly has to be encouraging for the Boilers!
