| Is this sort of like hearts in which points normally count against you but if
you get them all you win? I believe they call that "shooting the moon" or some
such thing.
Who are the Bengels playing this week? They should be a bit overrated after
scoring all those points against the Patriots, picking them to cover the spread
should be a good investment in 0-fors,

| Thanks for your help, George, but us '0-fers' got where we are by
ourselves and are pretty much against using any rhyme or reason for our
picks.

You see, all season long I've been going with George Costanza's
'opposite guy' routine and it's been blowing up in my face. Now
that I'm in a contest that I can actually win, I'm sure I'll pick
nothing but winners. Gimme Detroit, baby!

| 184.15 | | MKFSA::LONG | Strive for five! | Fri Sep 23 1994 15:53 | 11 |
| yea, what he said!
We stay loose so when we make a prediction that loses we don't
go grabbin' the closest M16 and commence to shoot up the place.
We obviously aren't very good spellers either, but we work at
getting better.

| told ya Tommy was the Los Wages favorite.
|
| 184.19 | | MKFSA::LONG | Strive for five! | Tue Sep 27 1994 10:49 | 8 |
| We either have 2 or 3 folks vying for the 0-fer title (I'm not sure of
the final score to the Denver game, but I suspect TTom 'lost' again).
This is more challenging than the KOH contest. It ain't easy to get
them ALL wrong, is it Tommy?
billl
|
| 184.20 | My money's on Tommy...NOT | MKFSA::LONG | Strive for five! | Tue Sep 27 1994 11:42 | 9 |
| Looks like it's down to MSBCS::BRYDIE and ODIXIE::ZOGRAN. Sorry, TTom,
ties are not losses.
The real test is to see if one of you can go 'winless' longer than
those 0-fer wannabes can go without a loss in the KOH.

| 184.21 | the horror | HBAHBA::HAAS | australopithecus westvirginius | Wed Sep 28 1994 11:30 | 7 |
| My one all too brief shining moment in game picking has come to a_end.
The local line dropped to 6� which woulda made this tier/winner a loser.
The over/under was 47�, which made all sides of the line interesting
right up to the end at 27-20.

| 184.22 | I was jobbed by the SPROTS line | FRETZ::HEISER | Grace changes everything | Wed Sep 28 1994 12:56 | 1 |

| 184.23 | last of the 0-fers | MKFSA::LONG | Strive for five! | Thu Sep 29 1994 15:48 | 6 |

| Here it is! UMDan's Lock of the Week!
Take INDY and the 2 1/2
(On a more serious(?) note, I like Maryland's chances this week vs
Clemson, and would take the Terps and the 7 1/2).

This pool is actually tougher than the KoH (yeah, sure, Brydie.
Try and console tyourself, loser!) because you have to go against
your basic instincts of picking who you think will cover. So, having
said that I'm picking Dallas giving 11 � because I think that that's
high so I want Washington in effect. Is that clear?

| 184.29 | | MKFSA::LONG | Strive for five! | Mon Oct 03 1994 13:29 | 8 |
| Best I can figure Tommy screwed up and got one right while
Dan Zogran continued his 'winning' ways and should continue
just to see how long he can keep up the 'good' work.
Congrats Dan!

Uh, Thank you, Thank you very much.
I would have jumped in here sooner, but I just spent the weekend
driving down to Orlando, renting a U-Haul, loading it with some
furniture (present from the in-laws), and driving back to Atlanta.
Yes, it takes a certian skill to perform at this level. I am hoping
that I am using up all of the Terps "bad" luck now so that the
Basketball team whups up on the rest of the ACC (and Georgetown).
0 for 2 this weekend (Terps and Indy).
Lets keep going. The contrarians are making a killing looking at my
picks.

| 184.35 | Did I win or lose??? | ODIXIE::ZOGRAN | Antelope Freeway, One Mile | Fri Oct 07 1994 13:01 | 15 |
| I'm still trying to firgure out if I lost (or won?) last week. I took
Indy and the 2 1/2, which means that, in the traditional sense, for me
to win, Indy would either have to win (which they did) or lose by less
than 2 1/2, right? Or am I confused?

| 184.36 | former loser checks in | HBAHBA::HAAS | australopithecus westvirginius | Fri Oct 07 1994 13:05 | 6 |
| UMDan,
If'n you had Indy lasted week, you won cause they were gettin points,
which of course means you lost. You are no longer oh-fer.
