You should all be thankful that I didn't play this week because I would have won.

I really need that energy drink, too!

I thought i would win for sure. Started off 10-0! But then I voted for the teams I wanted to win, not the ones I thought would. Damn that Colorado.

The fact you started 10-0 just goes to show how badly you were picking. George Mason over Bill and Mare? What were you thinking?

I had the Magnum PI sense going for me.... I turned it off towards the end of the picks though... I think I'll go with it the entire time next week

Ummm...whatever he was thinking was better than what you were thinking since he had one more correct pick than you.

Do you need some energy drink, too?

If I win next week, I'll share.
