This final game looks like a tough one.

In other news, all schools and government offices will be closed tomorrow. The BGO Pickem Championship Parade will begin at 9 am.

Can the last game be double or nothing??

staff training during the off-season in order?

 

[Lovethebeer]

Can the last game be double or nothing??

Wouldn't have mattered.... I would've lost twice as bad.

 

[Burgundy Burner]

Did I snatch second place? Yeah, I picked Seadderall.

 

[Boone]

Congrats to our season Champion, McD5, and our other prize winners. In 2nd place for the season is Lovethebeer (edging out Burgundy Burner by the slightest of margins on total points). Our 3rd place winner is Burgundy Burner. And in our final prize position, two-time previous winner Jimbo.

Congrats to all of our players this season

 

[Burgundy Burner]

Congrats to the top two. Well done!

 

[McD5]

Wow, that second place came down to points? That's wild.

Congrats everyone, and thanks again Boone.

 

[Burgundy Burner]

Yeah, looks like it did. Think I am at -7, so LTB was even closer. Love it when it comes down to the final game and tiebreaker. Makes it exciting.

 

[Boone]

You finished at -12 points BB, Lovethebeer at +7 points. That's about as close as it gets.

 

[Burgundy Burner]

Ah, that is why I needed the updated scores after the conference championship games. I was basing this last pick on being 21 over and never figured those CC games into the equation. My mistake.

 

[Boone]

They were posted BB but maybe you'd made your pick already. I'm not sure you could have caught LTB under any circumstances...great job this season...

 

[Jimbo]

Did I snatch second place? Yeah, I picked Seadderall.

As much as it pained me, I picked the Dick Shermans as well. I HATE it when karma takes a vacation. Feels like the equivalent of Philthy winning the Super Bowl. Hate them both and ESPECIALLY their nasty fans.

 

[Lovethebeer]

Yeah, looks like it did. Think I am at -7, so LTB was even closer. Love it when it comes down to the final game and tiebreaker. Makes it exciting.

That is crazy close! I know at least once I forgot to pick any tiebreaker points during the regular season so I was trying to make that up at the end.

Great season, lots of fun.

It was close indeed. I was looking at the 21 points over that I thought I had and didn't figure in what had happened with the conference championship game. That looks to be nine under (guessing) and I didn't count it. I had twenty-three for the SB and that was twenty-eight under and thus, the spread is actually minus fifteen.

But it was fun down the stretch and the tiebreaker would've been moot if Sherman doesn't tip the ball at the last second in the conference championship. A game of inches there and here - exciting stuff!

Look forward to seeing the final tally. And thanks again for another great season of Pick'em, Boone. I almost didn't play after two years of horrible results.

Congrats to McD5 and those of you who stayed close. Wow, what a performance! I take some small degree of comfort in just being able to halfway keep up with you guys.
