Week 14 was full of surprises for sure. Absentee BuckeyeT was the official winner with 7 points, and tied by Mrs JUCO and ND fan. Congratulations! Bear Down Rick wins the contest with 253 points. Congratulations Rick. Cheesecurd Wolverine second with 252 points, Stu's Cat and Lady Volunteer third with 246 points. This was one of our better contests due to how close everyone was week in and out. My humble thanks to all of you for making it an enjoyable experience. Looking back a few years ago, when I responded to Tom McCord accepting to take over the contest, I have truly enjoyed the experience and trust all of you feel likewise.
Thanks, Don. You’ve done much more than run the contest. You’ve taken the time to keep everyone fully informed week to week. You’ve performed remarkably.
First— Congrats to Rick! I had. a feeling he was going to track me down and he did with the FSU-Louisville game being the deciding game. Second - as always thanks to Don for organizing and running this contest!
Congrats Rick... No way a guy who steals signals could be allowed to win! As long as I beat the Marine... it's all good. AJ has to buy me a runza this summer at the CWS.
Thank you, Bob. After having finished second to you in the '21 football pick 'em I was expecting the same fate this season but I guess I got a little luck during the final weeks. Thank you also to Don, for his ongoing stewardship of the Skybox Pick 'em and other contests.
Thank you, Scott. Hopefully one day we can meet up again, preferably at a Kevin Stumblin survivors' meeting, and toast the financial success Tito's Vodka (Austin, TX) has experienced as a result of our schools' combined buyouts.
Here's what I'm getting at. If everyone that plays pitches in 10 - 20 bucks before the season, whoever goes perfect for the week gets the pot? We need to make this thing interesting.
