Surly 2023 Bowl Mania Contest

Christ. Woman calling the FAMU game goes "He gets the first but he stepped out of bounds!"

Bitch there's a minute and a half on the clock and Howard has zero timeouts.

Almost as funny as jay walkers gospel speech of howard qbs moment of getting a game winning drive TD vs the best defense he’s seen and throws a pick his first play

Looks like Turner Helton, who happens to be the Head Coach's nephew and Clay Helton's son.  Clay is hc at Ga Southern nowadays, and they lost to Old Dominion last month.  All that means I don't know, interesting but still a coin flip.

Well shit I just saw this.  

[Scraps 13542]

Looking at the stats it doesn't seem like Freshman guy did that bad 

[Jameslaw121 4445]

Holy shit

[Scraps 13542]

Well damn

[NorthLoop 14092]

Fucking chokers

[horn4life 3755]

I forgot the lock time and was thinking of taking Old Dominion just to be contrarian.  Had I visited here I would have switched instead of missed the lock time.  I was feeling the fool, until the last second.  To have a 28 point lead vanish... I can only say (painfully) "Luv Ya Blue."

[NeverMarryAStripper 21781]

I switched to OD when I saw that WK lost their QB

[Scraps 13542]

Lol i thought my 35 pts for UTSA would be pretty high.

Pretty basic compared to everyone else

yeah UTSA was as close to a "lock" as I thought there was early in the picks.  But WTF do I know, as one of you will likely be spending my money...

[ztejas 43266]

Yeah I had them at 40.

[Knoxtnhorn 5930]

Switched to USF earlier today.  38th place, here I come!

[Scraps 13542]

I first real big whiff lol.

45-0 good call dumbass

[horn4life 3755]

Anyone else having a problem getting in and changing confidence/picks?  When I only see results now when I click on my name, and don't see my picks(ability to change picks). 

Anyhow just wondering if I did something stupid, or if other people are having the same issue?

[Scraps 13542]

try logging in

[NorthLoop 14092]

Getting my ass handed to me today

[Scraps 13542]

Damn me and PhillyD (and a couple towards very end) need E Michigan badly lol.

Yall went hard on South Bama

[ztejas 43266]

I've decided that I don't give a fuck enough about bowl games or my $30 to try and change my confidence points during the contest. Based on the results so far, I'd be just as likely to fuck something up, anyway.

Just gonna let it ride and if I stumblefuck into some money then merry christmas.

[Scraps 13542]

South Alabama is gonna win by 50 lol

[Scraps 13542]

And only ctj took Northwestern

It was the biggest point spread of all the bowls

Upon reflection, putting a few points on that upset wasn't the wisest choice.

Nope.

Between everyone gaining 30+ pts on me and Utah sucking ass this has been a super night lol

[Scraps 13542]

Ctj just teabagged the whole lot of 43 of us

SMU trying very hard to submarine a ton of potential points..

I was going to flip to both BC and Rutgers, but missed the BC lock time by 10 minutes.  But again WTF do I know?

I definitely don't know dick... SMU being my 39th most confident pick. Ugh

[NorthLoop 14092]

Next year I'm doing 2 entries. My normal entry, and the George Costanza entry, where I do the complete opposite of the first entry. Something has to give right? 

[Gatorubet 30099]

ACC making the Committee’s case for not letting FSU in. 

[horn4life 3755]

Well I really thought I was a smart Mofo at when OU put up 21 unanswered points!  Funny how 6 turnovers can skew the outcome.  Probably because I stated doing math on where I thought I would be after OU's victory... again WTFDIK!

[NorthLoop 14092]

Man I needed that Kentucky win. Fucking chokers

[ztejas 43266]

Hahaha @closetojumping had Toledo what an idiot.

[Scraps 13542]

Feel your pain, flipped from Tennessee to Iowa with about a minute to spare... for the same reasons, or so I thought.  Still a glimmer, but went the wrong way. Got lucky with LSU just now.

Will unpin this thread to give more visual to the game thread and will pin back after the game.

[BigOrange1 6422]
