Thursday Pickin’ Season V Week 5

Quote of the Week:

Speaking of gophers, the Caddyshack Gopher rocks, so we’ve got that going for us–which is nice.”     Maddawg

TB doesn’t always know. What’s going on, that is. Plus other things. Sometimes I just get freakin’ lost. Like today. You see, I was busy, really busy, plus I was sick still and I had things to do tonight, a high school Homecoming parade of all things and we caught a bunch of candy, some of it wasn’t crappy, and we got to see Olympic Gold Medalist Bianca Knight, and I missed work Monday so that threw me off, but anyway……what was I sayin’?

Eh, must not’ve been too damn important. Here’s what is important: The MTGU bounced back in a big way last week going 18-9 on it’s Picks of the Week. On Bonus Picks, we were 35-32. Our season records now stand collectively at 54-56 and 128-164.  TB lost my POTW and went 1-4 on bonus picks to fall to 2-2 and 7-13 on the year. There’s only one thing to do when you have an awful week like that–forget about it.

Tiny D had the best pickin’ performance with her POTW and 2-0 bonus record. Folly J and SDog busted the curve to give some free points to Pitalo and Nelson.  Big Ed pulled a Big Dog out of the hat with Kansas State, getting 14 points, whipping Oklahoma outright.  Musical points went to Sweet and Irv, which boosted Irv to victory for the week. Buzz remained perfectly imperfect on POTWs.

Here are last week’s standings and remember, as always, only bonus picks are in parentheses. The top 18 won their POTW:

            I noticed SDog has the SC game at 20.5. We’re rounding up a copy of Friday’s USA Today to get the official line for scoring purposes.

                      Hey Gingy and Krebs, How about putting the lines down? Only chicks are exempt from that. From time to time.
