Quote of the Day
"It was an exciting game, you know? It was just fun -- except for the outcome." -- Detroit Tigers OF Any Dirks, after an extra inning loss in TexasDaily Blurb
I’m back from my road trip (with a group of 8 friends) to West Virginia. UConn played well for about 32 minutes, but then things all went horribly wrong – somewhat as expected. Having said that, the weather was great, and I found the West Virginia fans to be very friendly and welcoming. A good weekend with good friends. This was a moderately difficult week for Football Pickoff, with only 45% of all slates posting positive scores. Oddly enough, Consensus Favorites fared well, winning 10 of 13 games, and posting a +216. Normally, I associate negative weeks with upsets. In any event, the top score was +594 from Mr.RightMr.PartyAllNight, missing only the Oakland upset over Houston. At the other extreme, we had a perfect slate from Knucklenate who went 0-13, posting a -604. I don’t know if that’s happened before (it probably has), but it certainly has to be rare. |

Sounds like a good opportunity for a "worst ball" competition for next year in Pickoff.

Actually, that doesn't really work. If you have people who are trying to pick losers, then the implicit handicapping in the pick percentages is compromised.
