“It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.”
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
Well, it was fun everyone. (Never send a Tree to do a man's job).
ASU it is. Since both are dreadful, I doubt the visiting team will win, but hope I live to fight another day.
Just realized I can pick Arizona to beat Stanford. WOOT!
I am alive for about 5 more minutes. Congrats socalpat. Well played.
I'm confused. Didn't SocalPat take Uw this week? Looking back, there is no official prediction and there are two semi-serious picks.
I hope we do this again in 2017. I like it.
The season starts Saturday with Oregon St @ Colorado St and Stanford vs. Rice
Applejack needs to awake from his slumber and set this up for 2017.

“True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

Just jogged my memory over this thread. I appreciate concerned's magnanimous display of sportsmanship. In return, let the record show that we're co-champions of the Survivor Pool for 2016. Let the games begin again!
Here is the history of the contest:
2016: Concerned and SoCalPat tie; no consensus national champ.
2015: Drum'N'Feather
2014: OrangeUte (there was a half-assed loser's bracket because OrangeUte's victory took a mere six weeks; no word on who won).
So, when we have the contest the Utes are guaranteed to win 9 games.
