I'm working on the script boyz but I think you will all be entertained.

- Nebraska will be without their top QB (most likely; hamstring) and WR, so Tennessee may be a lock.

- Gophers don't seem too interested (or at least not completely focused) on their bowl game.

Sources say #Gophers football players threatening to boycott bowl game to protest 10 suspended teammates: https://t.co/YROFfH3lqZ

Started 3-3 in the bowl pool, but looking like the next two will be losses.

Crap! I forgot to do an entry.

Anyway, I'm at the New Orleans Bowl supporting both of my alma maters.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...4d7bb51b9f.jpg

Not too late for an entry, Bill. Just keep the remaining game as the big pointers and you will be competitive.

Have fun at the game, but are you rooting for each team's big/good plays? :P

I was rooting for a good game (which I got) and a Southern Miss win (which I got). Perfect night.

Glad you had a good time, Bill. That must've been pretty cool to see both of your Alma Maters play each other in a bowl game. :up:

The Washington D (especially DL) is giving Bama fits, but UW can't handle the Alabama DL at all. The Pick 6 late in the 2nd Q & the missed FR opportunity in the 3rd are really going to hurt UW.

Ohio State sure seemed like they weren't too interested in playing tonight.

Glad to see OSU lose. That being said... ZERO interest in the NC Game. I just cannot bare to watch Alabama play.

So we're getting that fire rematch for the championship this year. The game everyone (as in no one) has been waiting for.

Sure looking like Penn State should have made the playoff over Ohio State. That PSU offense is fun to watch.

That game was fun to watch. I hate USC and would have preferred to see PSU win but it was a fantastic game nonetheless.

Also, that USC QB looks like Sean Astin as "Rudy". :D

Got 'em with the jinx. :fdown:

Still a fun game. If Penn State can get a defense, they could be scary.

What a great title game! :Clemson:

Can't stand Dabo but I sure am glad the hillbillies lost. :)

Disclaimer: I realize that Clemson are also hillbillies but they aren't THE hillbillies.

Congrats to Smooth for winning the group. I almost switched my last pick to :Clemson: because I figured you and CDJ would both take :Alabama: and it would have been the only shot I had to win the group.

Of course being the writer of the script that seemed unfair so I allowed you to win the group but rewrote the script to allow the Tigers to take home the crown. :nod:

Thanks CLW. I was shitting bricks during both the Penn State-USC snd championship games. If Penn State had won, I would have been untouchable, but they had to go and crap themselves and let USC win, leaving the group up in the air until the NCG.

I had originally picked Ohio State and Alabama with Alabama as the winner, then after Clemson trounced the Buckeyes, I was going to change to Clemson to my overall winner but forgot.

It didn't matter though because I could only get a single point while you could get 30 points and cdj could get 42 depending on your championship picks. So I started shitting bricks all over again as Clemson winning was literally my only chance with all three of us picking Alabama.

That ending was the most stressful ending I've ever watched during a championship game. From upset when Alabama scored with 2 minutes left to ecstatic when Renfrow hauled in that game winning touchdown catch and then Clemson recovered that onside kick.

It feels good to finally unseat you as champion. :) So far 2-0 this year. Won the NFL pick 'em for the second year in a row and then won this for the first time ever. Now to see if I can pull off the clean sweep and win March Madness in a couple months to go 3-0 in pick 'ems this year.
