Crimson Red Sports

Are than any games you want to nominate this week?

Virginia @ TCU
UTEP v. Wisconsin
Miami v. Georgia Tech
Missouri v. USCe
Oregon St v UCLA
LSU v. Auburn
Rutgers v. Arky
Michigan v. Notre Dame
Kansas State v. Oklahoma
Clemson v. Florida State
Arizona v. Oregon

Oh, and Vandy v. Georgia

The top 25 matchups are a given:

Michigan - Notre Dame
Kansas State - Oklahoma
Clmeson - Florida State
Arizona - Oregon

Other intriguing games:

Vandy - Georgia
Miami - Georgia Tech
Missouri - South Carolina
Oregon State - UCLA
California - USC
LSU - Auburn
Southern Miss - Western Kentucky
Rutgers - Arkansas

BYU vs. Boise  is also a good game to pick, but I don't know if you want to include Thursday night games.

FAU vs ALABAMA  :lol2:

This is a very good choice. Good job CatchProthro. I look forward to this week so I can get off the bottom. lol, RTR!

Georgetown vs Princeton

:lol:

Is there a chess tournament?

Well if I can't pick the winners, I might as well try to pick the games!   :-[   ;D

WVU v. Maryland    :lol2: :lol2:

Miami/Georgia Tech has lost a lot of luster, UTEP/Wisconsin is somewhat dull & Virginia/TCU might be borderline. I would substitute with some of the following:

Georgia/Vandy
BYU/Boise State
Cal/USC


We have some really interesting games with:

Barn/LSU
Oregon/Arizona
USC/Missouri
FSU/Clemson
K. State/Oklahoma
Michigan/Notre Dame


 :popcorn2:

I didn't suggest BYU Boise because it's a Thursday night and I didn't think it was a big enough game to make the exception.

I agree about adding Georgia Vandy, which I missed initially then added later.

You're probably also right about Miami GT, which is not televised.

UTEP/Wisconsin is on ESPN2.  I included it as one of the only remotely interesting games involving the Big10. 

I don't agree about Virginia/TCU being borderline.  This game is on ESPN, has ACC v. Big12 (thus covering two conferences where we only have one other suggested game), and could be a challenge to pick.

I also dont agree about Cal USC.  Both lost last week, and the game is only on the PAC12 network.  There are better PAC12 games, like Arizona Oregon and Oregon St UCLA.  And two games from the west coast is enough.

Anyway, narrowing to ten would be:

Virginia @ TCU
Missouri v. USCe
Oregon St v UCLA
LSU v. Auburn
Rutgers v. Arky
Michigan v. Notre Dame
Kansas State v. Oklahoma
Clemson v. Florida State
Arizona v. Oregon
Georgia/Vandy

Going once...

Looks good to me, Corch.

Sold.  I will add these shortly.

where are they ?

Good thing we didn't pick the BYU Boise State game.   :lol:

I need more robots.  :-[

The games are finally ready.  I really need to get this job turned over to WALL-E.  Setting up the games is the last piece that I have to do myself.

Well let's see what happens. I do however, think Byu will upset BSU tonight. Pray for rain and mud. 8), You never know what Bronko might come up with at BYU.  :facepalm: RTR!

sorry coach , my www is in and out the last few days
works for a few minutes then goes out
I got on long enough to fill it out and we'll see how
long it stays up tonight ,,,

 :wall:

How does WALL-E feel about weed eating?

I posted a link to some robotic mowers not too long ago.  I think we decided you were better off to get some goats.  :dunno:

Don't forget to enter your picks for this week.  pmull is having trouble saving his picks for some reason.  If you can't enter your picks please let me know.

I was editing my picks this morning, and CRS started slowing down.  Then Firefox crashed.  Every time I'd go to CRS it crashed again.  Other sites worked for a while, then they crashed.  Virus.

I'm on Explorer now.   >:(

I have been having problems entering the correct picks. Could you please look into that.

 ;)

:lol:

Maybe we can extend the deadline by 24 hours?  I'll bet things would be much clearer on Sunday morning.  :dunno:

I had a little downtime on my computer but it came right back up. Maybe the govt. was trying to attach so they can see who we picked. RTR!

I was having problems but it is cleared up now
maybe it was firefox ? when I would click on a
subject it would just bring up a blank white page
didn't do it on IE but I hate IE and refuse to use it  ...

for some reason I can't watch flash , youtube and such
and it's on both of my computers I use the most and on my
son's desktop ... tried all kinds of stuff to get it back
nothing seems to work to fix it ... any ideas ?

this all started about the same time in the last few days

I had my problem and I am on Google Chrome. So it seems it was sites instead of one site. RTR!

let me know if you find out what caused it
I have similar issues with mine , Thanks !
plus my flash player is down ... wth is that about ?
I hate IE !    >:(

Probably that stinking WALL-E is behind it.


 :tinfoil:

:lol:

 :lol:

I am pleased to report that we have figured out the problem and everything should be working now.  The pick 'em pages had a compatibility issue with certain versions of Internet Explorer, specifically version 8 that we know of for sure but probably others to.  It worked fine in IE9.  It should also be fixed and working in the other versions now.

Devine intervention? I'd maybe take another look at the card before hitting save. HTH

I think SC was just screwing around with me to see my picks.  :dunno:

yep , then he PM'ed to me  :wave:

I have found that CRS works better with Google Chrome than IE or Firefox.

I 2nd that...

(http://www.destinationsbelize.com/pic_of_the_day/2004/Archives/december-2004/28%20December%202004,%20Jungle%20Vines,%20Sittee%20River.jpg)
 Is this better than deplant intervention?  :-\ :-\

Pretty much everything works better with chrome.  They have much better support for HTML5 than any other browser.  I recently saw where chrome has now taken over as the most popular browser.  IE is the worst in terms of supporting internet standards.

Who won?

Ricky is on the leader board with 1 game to go.  If he gets this next game right I think he will finish in 2nd place.

 #+ #+ #+

 :pray: :pray: :pray:


come on Ricky come on !!!!!! 

#+

Of course if he gets the next game wrong then I think I will win.

You should root for Ricky to finish second.  He has never finished that high.

No!  You want to win!  Ricky can take care of himself.

:lol:

Oregon now up 21-0 with 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.  So this game is on the wire right now.

21-0 Oregon now.  Not looking too good for Ricky.

:angel: Shall we send Gabriel down to help the Arizona D?

(http://www.crimsonredsports.com/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=1;type=avatar)

>:D No!  Remember free will?  He made his picks, now he will have to suffer the defeat.

Gabriel shows up.  Interception Arizona.

Lucifer intercepts it back for Oregon just as Arizona gets down close to the goal line.

Cain throws a long bomb to Judas for a TD.  Oregon has now covered the line.

For good measure, the Kraken comes along and Oregon gets a pick6.

:lol:

I was trying to think of who to give the credit for that one.

Can Moses lead Arizona back into the promised land?

Moses parts the red sea and little David gets a nice big run right up the middle.  Arizona is in the red zone now.

Boy that yellow first down line they draw on the field is right on the money.  The Israelites go for it on 4th down and come up short.

Congrats SC, Chech, ricky and all for a good game.

Good going to all those that beat me.  >:( I can't get a handle on it this season  :( Or maybe I'm just pacing myself.  :tinfoil:

Congrats to the winners as well, job well done. :clap:

Look at ole SC on top, there.  :clap: Congrats to all the winners. I'm still pizzed at that FSU defender for not swatting down that last Clemson TD pass on 4th down and for their QB, a couple of plays later, for going down on purpose instead of taking it on in to the end zone. The difference of me going 6-4 instead of 5-5.

 >:(

Congratulations to all the winners this week.  #+

My picks went up in flames so I have decided my picks next week will be counter intuitive. If I my initial thought is team x will win, I will automatically choose the opposite team.  :dunno:

 #+Congrats to all the Winners  #+

 :-[ I let the voices of self doubt talk me into changing a couple of winning picks into losing picks at the last minute and had my worst week yet  >:(

 :-\ Next week I'm not listening to them   ;)

Sounds like that stupid piece of junk WALL-E influenced you.


 >:(

  :-\ It coulda been him MD  ??? coulda been him  >:(

 :tinfoil: :tinfoil: :tinfoil:

 :-X

Across the 4 weeks i am probably right around chance, the most likely result under blind guessing conditions. Not difficult to remains humble under those circumstances.

:lol:

I missed 3 out of the first 4 games.  I thought I was going to be in for a long day, but it turned around in the afternoon.  The one game I was absolutely certain of was the LSU game.

>:(

I've been on the wrong side with the barn all season. >:(

This was the first week I missed on the Auburn game.

Okay. Time to fess up. Who took the farmily and the points?

A quick database query shows that only 2 people picked Auburn.

You are a merciful man for not shaming them publicly. Jk

Wall-E appears, and SC wins the pickem.  Coincidence?   :tinfoil:

:lol:

I thought about it and decided to let them admit to it if they are brave enough.

It will be interesting to see who picks Auburn against Arkansas.



 ???

:lol:

You caught me.  He is actually a time machine.  Ask me who wins the national championship.

Depends on the line.  Auburn should beat Arky.

I know that the Petrino issue did nothing to help Arkansas, but I have to wonder just how bad of a coach is Smith and how dumb are the administrators of Arkansas for making the guy the head coach to start with and now for letting him keep coaching the team. ???

Agreed. They have quit. John L has not been good any where he has been. A good qb will only get you so far.

They would have been better off hiring Nutt, at least temporarily, but neither party likely would go there.

(http://www.crimsonredsports.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=11560.0;attach=891;image)

Stop it! Quit!

:lol:

I had to do it.  It was just too perfect.

That was a rough week on the old pick'em scene.  I only went 5-5 in my other pick'em contest, and it isn't even against the spread.   :-[


The Nutt .gif definitely got my spirits back up though.  There's crazy in them eyes.
