NOTES


A gentle reminder ... please post your moniker in the message and follow it with a colon (":"). I use a macro to format the picks and the colon after your name is a variable that the macro relies upon. Thanks!
Zales writes: "I must be trying for worst pick-em record ever this year." Neither of us is setting any records this year in a positive sense. Every time I peek over 0.400 I make some dumb pick (in retrospect) and back I go. It is frustrating!
NemosGold writes: "I'll pick Texas ..." Glad you sent the optional pick (Davidson) and you may be as well with how Oklahoma is doing vs Texas (down by 10 at 7 minute mark).

I couldn't honor the Texas pick as I didn't post the line and nobody else was able to select it either. I've thought about reducing my workload and just having folks check the lines online at a common site ... but the lines are somewhat volatile at times and I'm concerned folks would inadvertently (or not ;)) cherry-pick as the lines change.

So I'm afraid you have to pick what's available unless you want to take a chance and take a team that has no spread and see if I post the spread later.
Louisville wins by 14 -- in OT. Outscored ND 16-2.
