Watching the St. Petersburg Bowl. Marshall vs. Connecticut. A bowl that seems to have NO corporate name attached...what a great idea! LOL

I miss the bowls without a sponsor that I've never heard of. However, I believe that the St. Petersburg Bowl is sponsored by their own Chamber of Commerce or the St. Petersburg tourism bureau.

Ah yes, the days when all they sold were, cotton, oranges, sugar and roses!!! LOL

[divemaster]

I hope that trophy is nice and polished. Will look good sitting on the shelf next to my 2012 winner trophy. I'm 14-5 so far and it's only gonna get better from here on out!

[Garrell]

Can we make a last place trophy? Hehe

[NeedfulKings]

Ha...no last place trophy on this one. Some good picking so far (for others - not me!). I've got all my eggs in the final days. :)

[divemaster]

I have LSU as my highest point game. Geaux Tigers!

[Jon]

There are DT members I'd LOVE to see "polish trophies!!"

[RUBE]

Everyone picked A&M to win tonight except for me, the A&M fan.

[Garrell]

I had Louisville and switched:(

[divemaster]

I had Texas A&M but I was smart enough to give it a Confidence Point of 2, so no real harm in losing that one.

[NeedfulKings]

And then there were two - reminiscent of last year's final battle.

Best of luck to both RUBE and Divemaster. :)

[divemaster]

Hmmm, with only one game left, my only chance to win is to pick opposite of RUBE (and win that pick). What to do...what to do...

[NeedfulKings]

Yes - I was in the same exact position last year.

[divemaster]

Hmmm, with only one game left, my only chance to win is to pick opposite of RUBE (and win that pick). What to do...what to do...

What it boils down to:

--If RUBE and I pick the same (doesn't matter who), RUBE wins regardless of the outcome of the game. Boooooooo!

--If I can successfully guess opposite of RUBE, but my pick loses, then RUBE wins. Boooooooo!

--If I can somehow guess opposite of RUBE and my pick wins, then I TAKE THE TROPHY!!! :nana: :nana: :nana: :nana:

Which way you going, RUBE? Hmmmmmmm?

[NeedfulKings]

Looks like he went with the Tide, so.......

Congratulations RUBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BedOfRoses]

Wow, good job, Rube! Awesome picking!! :rock:

[RUBE]

Thanks. My picks weren't actually that great as I finished 7th with the same picks in a pool that was just wins but the confidence points are what put me over the top. I was able to get most of my high confidence picks right (thanks mainly to the SEC) and my worst bone-head picks didn't hurt me because they were only a few points.

Thanks for hosting this each year.

[Ben Staad]

Congrats, Rube!

[Merlin1958]

[NeedfulKings]

Thanks. It looks great. I look forward to adding it to all my third-place pick 'em trophies.
