NCAA FOOTBALL WEEK 6 PICK EM!

Fug USC!

That dumbass USC lineman who ran into the punter with 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter screwed me out of win since Utah kept the ball and scored with seconds on the clock, losing only by 10 instead of 17. Man that pissed me off!

Am I ever going to win an opening game in any week this season? :(
 






I agree with this statement!

Oh, so this contest promotes sexism and discrimination, eh???

Da poor widdle females need special privileges and affirmative action, eh?

Except for Tinker who follows the protocol, doesn't ask for special favors and doesn't complain. She just kicks ass.

I like Tinker.
 






What do you think? My objective is to be fair to all. Today the contest is just not fair to those who have picked most or all the games on a consistent basis and placed themselves at higher risk.

Really? I think your objective is to rule the pool. I'd hate to think how you would be if we were playing for MONEY!!! You bitch because I manage to screw up and get my picks in late, and then they are not counted...not hurting you whatsoever. Then you bitch at BamaBoy for including your precious Boise St. game when it is UP TO HIM to pick the games. Don't worry about games that he picks, unless he happens to leave out a really good one, like he accidentally did last week with OSU and MSU.

I will once again ask you to please chill out - not a single person doing this fun, silly, little weekly pick em game seems to care one iota about all the nonsense that you do. Seriously, stop....in your objective to be fair to all you are creating a hostile atmosphere - you can be fair without all the mandates and bitching.

Ok, BamaBoy - is the Georgia/SC game really without a point spread? I did not pick this game yet to wait and see what it is. I may not be back to a laptop so I may make an iPhone pick for this game once I read your response - I will assume that is OK with you, unless I read otherwise...

You are like a spoiled little child who always pushes the envelope and expects special favors which makes life more difficult for others. Most people would call it 'selfishness'.

First you want the privilege of using updated spreads that occur after the original Pick 'Em schedule is posted while everyone else uses the orginial spreads.

Then you want the privilege of getting your picks in late so that the scorer's are forced to make adjustments for you later - like I had to do in Week #5.

Then you want the privilege of submitting your picks without bold or underlining highlights making life more difficult for the ones who score your picks.

What are you going to want next? Double credit on all your correct picks?

And you cite your "busy schedule" and "party life" as the reason why you should be entitled 'special privileges', as if no one else on the board has a life outside Cafe Pharma Pick 'Em. Are you serious?

Just grow up, follow the protocol and stop making the contest more difficult for everyone else.

I commend you for getting your picks in on time and in the correct format for Week #6.

It's sad that I have to say that to a grown adult.

Secondly, Pick 'Em players are allowed to question decisions made by the board moderator. This is a democracy. If you or the board moderator find that offensive - screw both of you. The Boise St - So. Miss game stuck out like a sore thumb on the Week #6 schedule and made no sense to me. I only questioned what motivated it, just like I would question if the moderator included the Rice - Memphis game.

Lastly, my recommendation to amend the rules to separate premium players from sub-premium 'not ready for prime time' players on the leaderboard makes perfect sense. Those who pick all or most of the games on a consistent basis should be rewarded for their efforts and for putting themselves at heightened risk by not 'cherry picking' the games. If you can't manage to pick at least 75% of the total games then you don't deserve to get the same recognition as Tinkrbelle who has been a consistent participant and picked almost all the games. It's called 'fairness', something that you obviously have a problem with.

So just follow the protocol and you won't get any pushback from me. I promise that. But don't think that you are better than the rest on the Pick 'Em board and that you somehow deserve more. You don't. And I will remind you of that if you forget.

Thank you for your future consideration.

Pale Horse Is BACK!!! It's good to have you back sir! I am sorry but I cannot include your USC Vs. Utah pick because the game was last night. I am glad to see you back because I enjoy your participation on this board.

Yes there is no point spread on this game. Vegas has made it a "pick em" so all you need to do is pick the winner. I guess Vegas thinks both teams are equally matched but I think Georgia has a better running game. I know you don't like the Dawgs being a Florida fan. I really wish the Gators were playing Auburn this year. The Gators deserve their revenge on the barn!

lighten up Francis
 






Well, ya gotta hand it to Pitt. Syracuse jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the 1st quarter and Pitt held them scoreless for the next 3 quarters. Only problem is that Pitt was only able to put 13 pts on the board and lost the game by a single point.

But thank you Pitt for keeping Syracuse from scoring on that last drive (unlike the lubricated Trojans did in last night's game against Utah) and giving me the win on the your +2 spread.

Great weekend to watch college football - Starting the day off with a bloody mary.

:cool:
 






Well, about 7 minutes to halftime and Boise leads So. Miss by 17. That'll teach me for losing faith. The only ones who are going to get this pick right are Tinker (of course) and BreakingNews. So. Miss really sucks and have earned their 0-4 (soon to be 0-5) record. And it reflects poorly on Louisville.

If Boise would only apply the brakes for the rest of the game and win by 10 or less I would forever promise never to turn my back on them again! My bad. :D
 






You are like a spoiled little child who always pushes the envelope and expects special favors which makes life more difficult for others. Most people would call it 'selfishness'.

Not hardly, just here to have fun, which we have, until you came on full force with your rules and nastiness. I never expected a late pick to be counted, nor have I done anything other than not bold and underline one week - oh no! The tragedy! Time for you to shut your pie hole, BamaBoy counted my picks.

First you want the privilege of using updated spreads that occur after the original Pick 'Em schedule is posted while everyone else uses the orginial spreads.

First of all, I ASKED about spreads changing, and then made a joke about changing picks - have I ever done that? Once my question was answered, did I ever mention it again? No. Once again, taking things WAY too seriously!

Then you want the privilege of getting your picks in late so that the scorer's are forced to make adjustments for you later - like I had to do in Week #5.
Then you want the privilege of submitting your picks without bold or underlining highlights making life more difficult for the ones who score your picks.

Only while I had no access to a laptop and can't bold and underline on an iPhone. Lighten up, man! Most of the other players, including BamaBoy, don't care that he has to look at a post of picks vs. his format -- especially since I don't do it every week.

What are you going to want next? Double credit on all your correct picks?

Asshole. You just like to start shit. Why? Did I piss you off with a remark about Boise St? Is it because I am a woman? Tell me.

And you cite your "busy schedule" and "party life" as the reason why you should be entitled 'special privileges', as if no one else on the board has a life outside Cafe Pharma Pick 'Em. Are you serious?

Sorry if explaining my reasons to my Pick Em "friends" is considered asking for special privileges, and my explanation is a problem for you, last time I checked, this was BamaBoy's Pick Em deal and NOT YOURS, and I have not heard the nastiness and complaining from him.

Just grow up, follow the protocol and stop making the contest more difficult for everyone else.

Who in the hell am I affecting except for BamaBoy? Am I bothering anyone else but you, Hitler?? NO!!!

I commend you for getting your picks in on time and in the correct format for Week #6.

It's sad that I have to say that to a grown adult.

No, what it sad it that you continue this tirade on a FUN, no-money- involved Pick Em board day after day - like you delight in this whole thing.

Secondly, Pick 'Em players are allowed to question decisions made by the board moderator. This is a democracy. If you or the board moderator find that offensive - screw both of you. The Boise St - So. Miss game stuck out like a sore thumb on the Week #6 schedule and made no sense to me.

If you can't manage to pick at least 75% of the total games then you don't deserve to get the same recognition as Tinkrbelle who has been a consistent participant and picked almost all the games. It's called 'fairness', something that you obviously have a problem with.

Was it necessary to tell me this? My problem is not with fairness - it is with you and how you are conducting yourself on here.

So just follow the protocol and you won't get any pushback from me. I promise that. But don't think that you are better than the rest on the Pick 'Em board and that you somehow deserve more. You don't. And I will remind you of that if you forget.

Again, show me where I have ever asked for anything above what could and should be considered for anyone else. For some reason, you have taken a well-run, fun pick em board and tainted it with your rudeness.

Thank you for your future consideration.

My final thoughts: I am going to ask you once more to mellow out and have fun with this. You have over-exaggerated everything to do with me on here. I get it. You don't like me. However, when it comes to anything to do with these football picks, I will continue to defer to the one who started it, BamaBoy, so don't waste time typing me any more of your mandates or warnings. You do the leaderboard, that is all.

This is why I hate sports betting and picking against the spread. It takes all of the enjoyment from Sports.

As long as everyone on the board follows the contest protocol, doesn't expect special board consideration and favors, tolerates differing opinions without attacking other posters and keeps track of their own scores without expecting others to do their work for them - everything will be fine.

Follow those guidelines and all is well.

and if we don't?
