Dammit all to hell, this is why I should do at least one read through before making picks. I honestly thought that one was a 'pick the winner' one instead of 'pick the loser' Otherwise, I would not have gone against VT.

 

As long as your pick for tomorrow goes your way, then it will make up for that.

Here's the good thing about me knowing next to nothing about college sports: I honestly didn't know when I made that pick that UConn had never beaten Stanford, so I might have gone the other way if I didn't realize that.

 

I do believe that means I have locked up yet another monthly title.

 

Somebody's got to stop him next year!

For the record: Though I certainly had a lot to drink over this evening (at least 6 drinks that I can recall, 3 of those being Long Island Ice Tea's), I'm most certainly not on "the teacups" (or else I wouldn't be able to type any of this). I can hold my liquor rather well, which is either a blessing or a curse.

Many, many congrats to DarthIntegral for his monthly colors win for December! In his honor, here is this piece of music: (of which others, such as xblackout will appreciate).

 

Great song, Tunes! One of my easy to pick selections if I need pumped up before a sporting event. The other being Hang on Sloopy.

Also ... for Jan 1

NCAA Division I football: Orange Bowl- Pick The Loser: (15) Northern Illinois vs. (12) Florida State

 

When I learned in the 8th grade that I'd be going to Grover Cleveland High School here in the Valley, I remember singing that song over & over again.

 

Wednesday, January 2nd

NCAA Division I football: Sugar Bowl (New Orleans)- Pick The Loser: (21) Louisville vs. (3) Florida

 

Welcome back, Lisa... please stick around.

 

Family is more important so I dropped out for the time they were here.
