Pick'em: Week 13

[3xWVUenginEER]

Last week sucked! Did it ever!

Raise your glass to Rivalry Week + WVU plays @ Iowa State.

What's worse? The season is about over and we will have 39 more weeks till football is back. Let's face it basketball is a 2 week season for us football guys.

Okay

Tie breaker Same as always. # of pts in WVU @ Iowa State

Thursday

LSU @ Texas A&M

Friday
Black Friday (or as husbands say the day women buy $#!+ that men don't want and kids will forget about in 20 mins)

TCU @ Texas
Washington @ Washington State
Nebraska @ Iowa

Kentucky @ Louisville
Michigan @ Ohio State
UVA @ VA Tech
Auburn @ Alabama
WVU @ Iowa State
Oregon @ Oregon State

Let's hope our favorite school holds on to the ball and doesn't throw any more pick 6s. Still can get 10 wins and get closer to the goal. Raise the glasses and Pick'em.

I will get my picks in tomorrow. I have to get prepared to try and kill a deer.

My fear is if WVU goes through the motions and has a hangover from Saturday, it could be a bad day in Aimes.

 

[3xWVUenginEER]

Btw I went with 18 cause it is rivalry week, getting near the end of the regular season, and why the heck not?

In a rivalry you never know.

I don't think we beat Iowa state this week....hate to say it. We are rattled...got our a@@es handed to us. They are hot....senior week and home. They run the ball well and we don't defend the run well at all...think it's a loss

 

[torontoeers]

Indeed aye 3x ...no turkey for me :weary:...doing my level best to get home early on Fri however to tune in...

Here goes nuthin...

T A&M

UNC
TCU
Huskies
Huskers
Baylor

GA Tech ...I have taken it up the hoop from the Bulldogs too many times!
Louisville
Ohio St....ugh.
Turkeys...BARF
Auburn . ..yep...that's right...I'm feeling kinda silly today...
WVU - 61
Oregon...flipped a coin
UCLA
Tennessee
FSU
Utes- following ALLEN on the upset special
Miss St - Rebels are useless without a serviceable QB

Like some of you others I have a nervous feel on this match up with The Cyclones in their backyard after last week...2 wins in a row for them and they clobbered TT 66-10. Their fans will show in force I think, and our EERS need to shake out some cobwebs from last week's debacle . Just get the hell outta Ames with a win any way possible ! [WVU]

Torontoeers

For the record I don't even eat turkey. The natives and pilgrims ate it because cows were short in supply. They were settlers, and like the cable family in the DirecTV ads, they settled for turkey.

Not me. It's 2016, I eat baked steak & gravy, with mashed potatoes and fried apples. And Blueberry Pie for desert. None of that pumpkin stuff, I ate the good stuff.

Btw I was going to come by last week at the beanery for your tailgate but weather made it a little too hard to make it to.

Oh...no worries. Our tailgate was extra frozen this year as a result of my buddy returning the tailgate tent to me on Thursday evening (after asking 'is everything there'), without an F'N top! So after unfolding the hardware and sidewalls you can well imagine my chagrin ....yes swearing ensued....the Beanary by 5pm was a welcome respite. The on field results I still can't quite come to grips with but whatever. That is why they play the games...

I was hopeful to make it for Baylor but looks doubtful at the moment. We shall see...

I am with you on the Turkey. I love a good steak and half the time broil it now , also do a prime rib here on turkey day (for some reason ends up as Okie St or Texas that weekend here...2nd wknd in Oct, although this year a bye week? Blasphemy!) , for some reason when turkey is bbq'd in a burger or fried I'm ok, when it's baked? My guts absolutely explode in pain an hour or 2 later...to be avoided big time!
Enjoy the day and weekend 3x and the rest of the pickers over the season....this is the part of the year that is both a blessing and a curse. The last full week of pure entertainment, however followed by some interesting Conf Champ match ups and then my fave...College football day after day after day for the entire holiday season! Nothing better imo...especially should the EERS get a nice bowl and opponent (I think the boys and I up here may just make this one, hoping for San Antonio , but hey Fla is nice and warm)

What started out as an entertaining match up tonight is tailing off a bit and losing my interest, but hey...it's the SEC.

Hoping you're planning a Conf Champs pick em week, and are you considering a Bowl pick em to round it out? Or would make it a separate entity ?

Let's beat I St.. get back on track...

 

[WVex-pat in GA]

Congrats to ALLEN and The Bell Tolls for busting out of the pack and picking LSU... on the road too.

Good luck to all and hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

 

[3xWVUenginEER]

So far I'm winless

LSU

NC State
Iowa
TCU
Washington

I'm 0 for the 1st 5 games. There has to be some talent in picking the 1st 5 games wrong. Never had a week like this one.

If Texas Tech and their 120+ ranked defense doesn't beat Baylor I'm 0 for 6 on the 1st 2 days.

Just want WVU to beat Iowa State tomorrow and it will all be good.

Oh well it's all for fun.

TTU saved you, now 1-5. I'm 2-4. No one picked NCSt. over UNC. Only ALLEN picked Iowa and he and The Bell Tolls leads the week so far at 4-2.

[torontoeers]

Wow is right! Although the Cards seem to be self destructing , has Kentucky begun to turn a corner here? Bowl eligible?... albeit in somewhat of a down year for the SEC...
Anyone know if they are particularly senior heavy this year? They have screwed me on a couple of picks this year lol...

Now...let's quit dicking around with I St! Just put em away already....

And no matter what happens it's all good cause the West by God Virginia University Mountaineers Won.

 

[3xWVUenginEER]

I started 0-5, but it looks like I will finish 11-6.

Bottom line: WVU won, so who cares? It's all good,

Actually 3X, you finished 11-7 and also would have won the tie breaker if needed. Torontoeers, bad week -- 7-11. ALLEN gave it a run at 10-8, the rest of us finished at 9-9. Here's the tally:

Looking forward to the Championship Week Pick 'Em.

 

[3xWVUenginEER]

As long WVU wins, it's all good.

Worst thing about this week coming up is its the last week and we got like 38 weeks till the 17 regular season starts. Yeah there willl be bowl season, but it ain't the same.

Nothing beats college football!

It will take a few days to get the stink out, round these parts...yikes ,just abysmal ...but that's one of the many aspects to love about college ball...the unpredictability !
