I'm sorry, but Moderators should not be allowed to play since they have the inside scoop on the Valley...just not fair. All I can do is shake my head and say, Why!!! DC, Why!!!

Waaaaaaaaah , Waaaaaaaaah , Waaaaaaaaah

DC successful due to 'insider' information? Conspiracy?

Do you also believe jet contrails are chemicals the gov
is spraying on us to control our minds



How do you then explain the success of THE PENNY

Blind Luck??

The Penny is secretly giving DC it's picks before he posts!

You guys are to funny.

This why I didn't play last year, and wasn't going to play this year until AZ begged me.
It really is just luck.

BTW, I have a strong feeling that just like Wichita State did tonight at Evansville, the PENNY is going to choke next round.

[Chico]

Thanks Az. Warm it up out here. 43 when I teed off at 11:30 last Friday.

What I'd like to know is why AZ begged DC to join?
Did he somehow know you were going to dominate this Pick'em so that the previous winners would not repeat as champs?
Or better yet, to give LittleBrave an even HARDER time to finish in the top 3 of the season Pick 'em.
Whatever the case, I don't like you guys's schemes and plots.
I may drop out of the race out of protest...............Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!! !!!

[Da Coach]

AZ begged everyone to join.


Actually, the truth is I have paid the MVC and the game officials a large sum of cash to influence the outcomes so I get more correct picks.

Glad you came clean DC. You will be imposed a minimum 4-game suspension for your conduct - not sure how this will affect your position in the Pick 'em.

If you happen to still win the contest, there will be an investigation. You might as well drop out now, you know...to avoid public embarrassment and fanhood harrassment.

I prefer to request an emergency hearing with Judge Gorman.

You guys are making me laugh. Glad your playing DC.

Chico you need to come down here in The Villages. Its been in the 80's for the last two weeks. Golf everyday than go to the outdoor pools for some swimming. The weather is great down here but our Braves don't look any better on TV down here than they do at home. Go Braves better days are ahead just maybe not this year.

Just a record setting few days is all. Warming up for golf Wednesday and hereafter. We're busy keeping the Legion and Elks in business after golf. We just had to get DIRECTTV here in our park last week. Couldn't wait to see the game last Saturday. Hope the guys look better tomorrow. Enjoy your(our) warm weather.

btw DC - there is no monetary reward for winning the Pick 'em contest...just another reason to "bail out" (no pun intended) now...and you'd be going out on top!...well, not sure how much you've had to pay the MVC officials for their work in swaying the games in your favor...

Even the MVC officials have been wrong 8 times so far.
