2023-24 Pick'Em, Final Standings!!

[della]

but is this the first season we had a broad competing? For diversity and @della 's sake maybe we can compromise and along with cutting out our worst week we also have a week where we sit around and talk about our feelings and then share things on Pinterest?

I’ll just have to rework my strategy to compensate for when you, Kev and Jeff suffer one of y’all’s week long stupid fits, so I don’t get hurt by it.

Equity really is the greatest challenge of our time. To be more inclusive, we really ought to consider awarding each female 15 additional points, as there's a clear barrier in trying to overcome gender stereotypes... perhaps also subtracting 15 points from each Jewish participant as they are disproportionately represented in elite schools and S&P 500 companies. Their education background gives them in unfair advantage in... well, everything but playing sports.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

This is unfair…

You can outbid me if you want...

or maybe I just have my relatives who control the world come in here and shut this whole place down since I'm not winning?

So you just want to hand the trophy to @lurkeraspect84?

 

[della]

You can outbid me if you want...

I can't afford it as I'm not willing to do what you did for the money.

Congrats to @GE Nole on his perfect week, only days after resigning, "This is a hard week!" I really think all 6 of those games, on paper at least, were games that got you second-guessing yourself. Hopefully we'll have similar games this week.

I'm going to drop the lowest weekly totals soon, hopefully within the next week. So, that might cause a slight shift in point totals. And then we'll have a double-points week the last week of the regular season. There's still time to close that gap.

You picked UF and Scar. You need to pick the Gonzaga/St Mary’s game.

Thanks for the catch. It’s been corrected

AWilli, you have bama picked twice. That is doubling down on dumb, I suppose.

 

[AWilli6995]

It's called a mistake, you've made a few in your lifetime. I forgot the UF/Cock game, the Cocks were suppose to be 2.

I was really trying to give you a heads up, but it was too late. The dlb on dumb is picking bama over the Vols.

I know you were and I appreciate it.

New low score incoming for me...

 

[della]

Suckers...

 

[ExitFlagger]

Suckers...

That was my 1 pointer. No biggie. Hard to bet against home teams this year.

Home teams have been really good in this pickem.

Ahem, you lost your 5, 3 & 2 dear.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Ugh.

What are you grinning about, I still beat you.

 

[Necessary Roughness]

PSA: Don't put off picking games until last minute and then catching a ban before posting said picks.

At least I suck at this, so no big loss.

Welp, looks like I have to cheer for the Gamecocks this week after seeing your picks.

Have fun with that. You should make them your 12 pick. Go big or go home. 😁

It is hard to believe the reg season is almost over. This is the best UT team I have ever seen. We will drop off next year.

Yep, the college basketball season is so short and the offseason is sooo long.
