  1. What does picking the underdog say about you? Hmm…
  2. That was the year I won. IIRC, if had I picked Bama and they won I would have finished 2nd. If Clemson lost, no money for me. Prior to the game, we compared the choice to the Battle of Wits in Princess Bride.
  3. Congrats to ESPNFAN2476434686
  4. @Lobo I didn’t want to continue derailing the other thread…Here is an interview with Brock Yates you may find interesting: https://buffalonews.com/news/an-interview-with-brock-yates-the-brains-behind-the-cannonball-run-tells-why-people-are/article_3a8a998f-a817-51b0-9e8b-d785c54365bf.html Two things from the interview: I had no idea he wrote the screenplay with Steve McQueen as the lead. And I never went to his Cannonball Run Pub when I lived in the area as it was in a very small town with no college-age girls. Sad it’s gone now. Your past experience with long distance driving is interesting. I’d love to something like that. Maybe when my oldest is old enough to drive. After Thanksgiving, we drove from Houston to Oakland in 27 hours (including stops for gas). We beat the estimate by an hour! I was very proud of that.
  5. Prior to this scenario, safeties didn’t count against a defense. When it happened on Sunday, the Yahoo Fantasy Twitter account even said so: They changed their scoring rules after the fact. Probably should have waited until next year to make the update.
  6. The movie was actually inspired by the race. The J.J. character was named after the little brother of one of my best friends. Their family was close to Brock Yates who started the race in 1971.
  7. My bad. I didn’t see the game so I didn’t know how the safety was scored and thought El Tri was talking about a situation in scoring that differentiated between DEF and D/ST. For example, in one of my leagues punt return TDs aren’t included in the scoring.
  8. Before or after the season or game? A safety by the offense or punt team should not count against the team’s defense.
  9. Not For Long with statements like that
  10. Chase, Penny, St. Brown, and Ekeler led the day for me in beating the #1 seed for the championship. 3rd straight for me in this league.
  11. A 8- or 16-team playoff limits the amount of prep time. Three weeks of watching video and developing schemes is almost unfair. There’s a reason the large majority of semi-final games in the CFP era have been double-digit wins.
  12. Tulemar Resort isn’t a typical resort as it’s mostly individual houses (our place had 4 bedrooms on three levels and a private pool). The pool and beach food/beverage service + the concierge access makes it more like a resort. Down the road from the main entrance (within walking distance) are several restaurants. You can also have a personal chef come to your house and make as many meals as you’d like.
  13. Tulemar Resort will meet most of, if not all, your needs (not sure about golfing). We had two families (4 adults, 4 kids) and stayed at the Garden House.
  14. It was the MSU RB who didn’t suit up
  15. That INT was inevitable
  16. That was a great catch
  17. I switch to light beer when I hit double digits
  18. I’ll buy some more squares to get us closer
  19. I I enjoyed watching him play. And this commercial is one of my favorites of all time.
  20. Are you from Western PA? I went to Slippery Rock (until I got kicked out) and have a lot of friends from the Pittsburgh area.
  21. The yinzers are going crazy
