4 games to go...so many ways to win

Well, the scores have been added up. There are a few of you who have earned extra points for calling the total conference wins correctly:

C-USA (2 points): Alexis, Butch, Josh, Marilee, Sam Hirt, Steve

Big East (4 points): Amanda, Ben Carter, Ben Puffer, Jill, Josh, Larry, Woodson

Puffer 734/6=122.33

Only 4 more games to go. Somebody better pass up Troy!

GETTIN' SOAKED

Here are the scores after Nebraska manhandled Arizona, which comes from a 'powerhouse' conference.


Amanda 76, Troy 73, Josh 72, Sam Hirt 70, Larry 63, Scott Birk 63, Marilee 61, Alexis 57, Patrick 52, Ben Puffer 51, Dayne 49, Rick 44, Steve 44, Lance 44, Woodson 43, Huffs 42, Kent 41, Judy 32, Ben Carter 29, Jill 27, Butch 25, Christian 24, Giles -5



Sears 165/3=55.0

Puffer 316/6=52.67
Parker 348/9= 38.67

Seriously, after tonight's game, I realized that some conferences are bringing their game to their bowls, while others appear to have no game to bring. Here's a synopsis of what I'm talking about:

ACC: 1 win by 8 points, 3 losses by an average of 6.33
Big East: 2 wins, by an average of 11.5 points, no losses
Conference USA: 2 wins by average of 19.5 points, 2 losses by average of 15.5
Mountain West: 3 wins by average of 13.7points, no losses
PAC-10: 2 wins by average of 10.0 points, 3 losses by average of 22.3
SEC: 1 win by 24, 1 loss by 8
WAC: 1 win by 1 point, 2 losses by average of 21

Take note of those undefeated conferences...and they are winning by alot. What else stands out are those conferences who are losing games, and losing big. Like the WAC. Like the PAC-10 (those losses have been UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGLY!!!!). Those PAC-10 arguments just aren't holding water, it's shooting through like a firehose, so watch out. Kent, you got soaked.

Steve...way to stay in the game. Maybe someday Liz will let you stay for the other ones.

Goodnight to y'all.

Good evening folks:

Well, I’ll begin this one with an apology to Larry, Steve, and Giles. You 3 picked Kentucky to win, and for whatever reason, while scoring, I awarded you points as if you had selected Clemson. So now I’ve fixed that…and your scores were affected as a result. After the UG win over Texas A&M, here are the scores:

Marilee 61, Sam 50, Larry 47, Woodson 46, Amanda 44, Josh 41, Ben Carter 37, Huffs 36, Scott 35, Lance 34, Troy 33, Steve 29, Alexis 29, Judy 25, Ben Puffer 24, Patrick 22, Rick 21, Dayne 19, Christian 17, Jill 16, Butch 9, Kent 8, Giles -3

Family Averages

Sears 116/3= 38.67
Puffers 181/6= 30.17
Parkers 206/9=22.89

Not that I watch TV on Sunday...but did you see how that bottom-scraper SEC team (Kentucky) pushed that nearly-ACC-best Clemson team to the end of the game? Just goes to show what a superior conference Kentucky is from. It's really too bad that 'Bama is going to win it all, but maybe as a starter, the folks from lesser conferences could come out to SEC-land and get a taste for REAL tailgating. I think that could help jump-start football at your respective programs.


So after the 27th, here are the scores: Marilee 56, Larry 52, Amanda 47, Sam 45, Woodson 41, Ben Carter 40, Troy 36, Josh 33, Steve 30, Scott 30, Huff 30, Lance 29, Ben Puffer 27, Alexis 24, Dayne 22, Judy 20, Patrick 17, Jill 16, Rick 16, Giles 15, Christian 12, Butch 4, Kent 3



And the average family scores:


Sears: 111/3= 37 Way to pull your weight, Kent



Puffers 173/6= 28.83 Just wait



Parkers 194/9= 21.56 Well, the Parker conference, considered as a whole, is looking rather weak
