    JOCO is like the mad hatter. He just sits there quietly dodging the criticism, avoiding the glitz while grinding out wins.

    I am gradually and quietly sneaking up the ladder.

    I figure in 10 more weeks or so I will take over first place...oh, wait a minute... :shock:

    I see there will be a final week for the contest. 16 games! Including the Va.Tech vs Marshall game that was just scheduled recently to give Va.Tech (5-6) another chance to get that 6th win for a bowl bid.

    Congrats to the old Dodger Dog, I can't believe how close this contest was after 14 weeks! Tom lost by just 1 point!!

    Thanks Don for setting this up again.

    Thanks for running this thing of ours Don. A last minute switch on the Boise St / Fresno St game cost me the week and the season... Always remember: Changing horses in the middle of the stream is usually not too productive. 8)

    :shock:

    After all these years I finally won? I believe this is the first year that I ever finished ahead of Cindy too. Wow! As they say in baseball, "I'd rather be lucky than good."

    Thanks again Don for doing this...wow.
