    Both Tom & Cindy did not make any picks for this past week's contest. I checked with Tom and both are Ok, just busy and forgot to make their picks.

    Picks must have been easy this week. Four of us had perfect 26 scores. Sid, Terry, Stu and myself.:)

    I was wondering how I got up the ladder into the middle... then I saw that Tom and Cindy haven't been picking, and Corey got in late...
    I'm still bad... but I showed up and got a ribbon for that. :p

    ESPN made the adjustment for the late Boise State cancellation. They deleted the game and re-adjusted the points among the remaining 6 games. It creates a 7-way tie for the week.

    Don, I wondered why they hadn't done what they did in past weeks with cancelled games, but I knew that unlike the other times the Boise State game was a last minute cancellation. Apparently, the pick-em crew comes to work late on Sunday. :rolleyes:

    You were a senior chief? I consider that impressive. You served with distinction in my book. As did AJ and, I’m sure, others here.
