  1. I personally prefer night kickoff but i think what happens is ABC/ESPN knows this game will get more eyes than Clem Vs . Whoever. 

    Putting it H2H in primetime vs Ohio St vs Neb/Wis loses eye balls. 

    11 AM it only has competition from AAC title game. 230 is SEC so no chance.

    I forgot why and how much I hate Laurel until last night.  God, she is such an awful person (cleaned it up for any ladies reading.  The word I want to use is pretty obvious).  Cara has been pretty mild this year.  Her speech about trying to come in this season and let bygones be bygones actually didn't ring hollow for once like most of the bullshit she has spewed in the past.  Maybe we are entering an age of a less annoying Cara.  I doubt it and I doubt the hardcore CM haters will agree with me, but she has been better this season.   I'll take this version of CM over just about any version of Laurel I've ever seen.  Sadly, this version of CM will probably start to disappear and the old one will show up soon.  

    It was interesting seeing where the lines are drawn on the US team.  There were a few people I wasn't sure of, but we know where everybody stands now.  

    Ninja is annoying as fuck and I don't like her as much as I was hoping I would when she showed up.  The way she was hopping around, pre-gloating about a climbing challenge, and then seeming to lose the challenge to a plodding giant was almost as good as how it turned out for Laurel.   Either way, someone was going out embarrassingly last night.  Glad it was Laurel, but Ninja would have been a decent consolation prize. 

    Laurel though.  How.  Fucking. Humiliating.  It was fucking perfect.  She destroys the US team with a stupid unnecessary move and thinks she's running the game to the point where she can throw a challenge on girl's elimination day.  Notice Bananas was smart enough to not do that on the guy's day?  He's so good at just using up these fools and letting them take the bullets for him.  That was easily my favorite elimination of a female in show history.  The false victory, the celebration rubbing it in their faces, Ninja climbing around on shit trying to figure out how Laurel won, NInja figuring out Laurel didn't win and sprinting up to the top to ring the bell.  I thought lat week's Brit "victory" was hilarious.  This eclipsed it by a wide margin.  And now I kind of feel like I'm rooting for the Brits and CT and just want to watch this US team continue to implode.  Especially since Bananas seems to be in a pretty precarious position now.  

    That was one of my favorite episodes in a long time. Paulie said it best. Ultimate karma played out. The look on Laurels face from being a winner to a loser was priceless. She couldnt accept she cheated.

    TJ blew the horn though. Makes me wonder if Ninja not questioned the rule if they would have changed anything

    Been doing this league for 8(?) years and helping a buddy run it now.

     

    Ranked games with maybe a few local interests sprinkled in depending on the schedule. Pick vs the spread, 3 key picks per wk. Weekly pay out $150 to winner, bowl season first and second place payouts, end of year (including bowl accumulation) payouts typically top 6ish. Currently right around 40 signed up, if there’s a late influx we’ll run the numbers on possibly adding a second place lesser payout each week as well.

     

    PM me if interested.

     

    In again, me and a buddy go halves. Good contest
