    I’m still on top but there are a few choices that could move me down in the standings today. Go Vols. Play your hearts out in Neyland North!!! upload_2024-12-21_10-19-43.png

    I have no idea how this game is going to play out Tom. A loss will just double the loss to the Wolverines and our season will end? Not a good way to end the season for sure.:(

    I'm not at all concerned about Tom. Word is that he's looking for a better gig and has entered the Transfer Portal.

    Stu, you got bad information. With my NIL money, how could I possibly find a better gig?

    Nick is down in Columbus for the game and he reports orange everywhere, even way out at Easton Mall.

    Home-field advantage was a key feature in the first 4 games of the playoff.

    Very definitely kp, and my Buckeyes took full advantage of the opportunity, much to my surprise.:)

    Dispatch writer today opined that it was partly because of the quick start for OSU (Mr. Obvious), and partly because perhaps the ticket sellers were the ones who sit on their hands, and not the ones who shake down the thunder (apologies to ND).

    Tim Fitzgerald (ND_Fan77) has joined our group. Tim won the 2023 contest and I neglected to include him in the original invite group, thus the late entry.:(

    I encourage all of you to double check your picks daily! ESPN has a variety of game times on the bowl schedule. BuckeyeT missed two games yesterday.:(

    A possible upset in the making this evening. South Florida leads Jan Jose St 21-10 at the half. Stu is the only one to pick South Florida!o_O

    San Jose St has a slim lead early in the 4h quarter with an intercepted pass. They now lead 27-24 for the first time in the game.
