That's what con men always say.Originally Posted by Applejack
I followed the crowd. Mom always said that was a bad idea.But the amount of people choosing UCLA last week is astounding. Chip Kelly is 0-5 against non-conference opponents while at UCLA, soon to be 0-6. I think the verdict is in on his coaching ability.

“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.”
--John W. Davis, founder of Davis Polk & Wardwell
Week 1- Colorado
Week 2- Oregon
Week 3- Washington
Good to get through the first 3 weeks without picking OSU or Cal, er. . .UCLA as a loser yet. Easy to pick whoever is playing one of them the following weeks.

So long, noney. We are down to the final two: yours truly and Cookie monster. Traditionally, at this point we have emailed the weeks pick, so that people can't wait to see the others pick and decide if they want to pick against them. This year that won't work because I am still alive. So I nominate Sancho to take on this heavy task. So, let's email our picks before the first game to Sancho.
Also, just to review the rules, to win one must be the only person to select a winner in a given week. Just having the other person get a pick wrong is not enough; you also must make a correct pick that week. If both contestants miss during a week, we continue into the next week and those incorrect picks do not count against you, ie, if you pick Oregon State in week 7 and osu loses, if both contestants make incorrect picks that week you may pick Oregon State in following weeks.
This week's games:
Arizona @ Colorado
Cal @ Oregon
Oregon State @ UCLA
Washington @ stanford
It doesn’t look like Sancho posted my pick from last week, but I took ucla last week. Big miss on that one.
Woot-woot! I took the Ducks (Sancho can verify, if he's still with us).
I'M THE CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is true. I didn't understand what those emails were for because I missed the post where I was nominated to receive them.
You weren't nominated; you were appointed.
I was flattered before, but now I feel tremendously honored.
