Apparently, BYU will

 

 

Apparently BYU.  Holy freaking guacamole....how in the name of defensive football did at least one of the 3 guys covering that receiver not have the sense to get in front of him?  They just gave the game away. sFun_doh2%5B1%5D.gif

 

I was watching that game and saw that coming almost like it was in slow motion. Works for me though since I picked BYU  :D

 

I was looking and somebody with a lot more faith in BYU than myself assigned something like 25 confidence points to the Cougars  :twitch:. Lucky them!

I did this here back in 2013, but events last year had me too busy to start up another or participate...but I decided to get an early start on things and get it going again, because it was a great dea

I debated which team to pick, but I wouldn't have spent more than 1-5 points max on the pick regardless of which one I ended up choosing.  That was one of the hardest picks of the week to me.  Actually I think the only reason I went with Nebraska was because of it being a home game (had no idea about the home opener streak until tonight).

I'm glad I did not put a whole lot of confidence points on Nebraska with BYU's win.  I can't believe I'm in first place so far, but still a lot of football left.  But most of my remaining games are low confidence points.  I'm glad I didn't put many confidence points on Arizona St beating Texas A&M.  I also took Texas over long odds against Notre Dame.  But only put one point on that.  ;)

The LSU game cancellation is going to kinda suck for everyone who assigned a higher point value to it.

 

Aside from the BYU hail mary (I won't call it a miracle) win, biggest surprise of the day is a tie between the Stanford and Penn State upsets.  Different contexts for both and not surprised by the actual upset occurring in either case, but very surprised by the margin in each case, especially PSU/Temple with all the Hackenburg talk coming in and the fact he was sacked 10 times in the game.

I was a little confused last night checking the points system and Robert was 1st place.

 

 

But they've updated this morning and now he is 6th place. I'm 4th. LSU not playing got me pretty good too.

It will be the last time you will see my name at the top of the leaderboard. I enjoyed the few hours I had it.

Picks are in as well. Man, that Oregon - Mich St. has me doubting. Lol at Kansas. That's the only sure game were a non P5 team will beat a P5 team.

 

Also, I just noticed I'm #2 in the leaderboard after week 1. I'm coming for you The_Q!!!

To lordsutch:  in the interest of sportsmanship and, in spite of it being a frustrating and heart-wrenching experience for me,  behaving with class - which as I'm sure you're aware isn't a given particularly within the realm of the SEC - congratulations, your guys played a heck of a game last night.

Sorry guys, I forgot to remind earlier in the week this week about picks - there are 3 people (aside from the 2 who haven't yet logged a pick anyway after signing up) who didn't get their picks in before the first game that started at 8 EDT:

If you miss the 2nd game tonight as well (yes, there are 2 Friday night games this week!), just adjust your confidence points for the rest of the games for tomorrow such that you skip 1 and 2 to maximize your point potential still for the week.

I missed a couple too 2 weeks ago. The SEC has gotten me pretty bad. Ole Miss is cursed for life.

I have 2 groups counting this one (with 2 separate slates of picks - the other I've done with Bama fan friends for years and we have all SEC games in addition to the regular slate for that), and Thursday night is always pick night for me. I spend a fair amount of time trying to review the latest info like injuries, record to date, NCAA stats, other opinions and the like before making final decisions and trying to work out my confidence point assignments, but I never go to bed without the picks completed on Thursday nights.

You do realize that you no longer have to do that, right?  You have moved out of the South.  If you stop, Paul Finebaum will not hunt you down for treason against the SEC, first, the South, second.

3rd Saturday in October must be an interesting week for you. Hide your trees!

No one would ever be fearful of Paul Finebaum.  Phyllis from Mulga however might be a different story.

 

In all seriousness, being from the south aside, I am definitely not a fan of that show....Finebaum's actual serious sports interviews/guests can be interesting, but I'd find watching a repeating loop of people running their fingernails down a chalkboard more entertaining than the nutcase caller-driven angle of that show.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
