Game 6 Results and YTD Standings 2012-13 MVC Regular Season Game Pick Em Contest!

[AZ BU Fan]

What a difference a game makes!

From the pickers disaster in Game 5 to 'easy pickins' in Game 6! (except for one very small participant)

A BU win, record number of correct picks, a new season to date leader, Game 6 was fantastic, except for our own 'Copper Crusader'... more on that later.

Let's get to it....

A word from THE PENNY



Where AM I? What hit me? Anyone get the name of that train?
My head hurts and my tail feels like it has been kicked from Omaha to Carbondale!

Have your fun now, but know, I SHALL RETURN!

Thank you, thank you verra much....
It's a marathon not a sprint.
No one gave me a chance.
No lead is safe.
I can't afford to get lackadaisical.
I always give 110 percent.
I have to stay focused.
I'm taking it one game at a time.
There’s no " I " in TEAM. (although I just noticed there is a "ME")

Enough of the overused sports cliche's. Thanks to AZ for running the game. There are still 2/3 of the MVC season ahead of us, so plenty of time for the PENNY to recover and return to form. He/she/it has tremendous upside.. (more cliches)

My picks for game 6-(some tough ones)
BU
WSU
INSU
UNI
SIU (I credit picking against Illinois State for putting me at the top )

Well, your refusal to jump ship early will land you in hot water, my friend. There is a conspiracy from this past week with you going 5-5 and the Penny moving down 4 slots with a meager 1-5 performance.

There are rumors surfacing that the Penny received an "under the wallet" payment with coins of much higher values to tank this past week.

At any "rate", congrats DC on your position at the top of the chart. In this contest, it looks like it doesn't matter how you play - as long as you win. Just remember - that penny don't look so shiny anymore.

...I credit picking against Illinois State for putting me at the top

I can't say picking against BU in every Pick 'em round this season has helped me, but I can say with certainty that it has helped us win more.

PENNY's image and reputation is a bit tarnished after the last round.

Glad you're starting to see the effects of corruption, DC...not that your "insider" position has anything to do with that...

If the Penny has another bad week, I hope he doesn't get too bent out of shape.
