Week 3 is upon us and while Coach Pry has his team on the field bringing the Terriers to heel, TKPrs are going to be getting their own Pick 6's.
Week 2 winners going 6-0 include Hokietopher and Pete Seip.
And a very Honorable "Nice" to Kevin Heuple for nailing the Tiebreaker with 69.
It's up to all of you but if you would prefer to put in your TKP username that would help me keep some things straight.
A word before naming this week's games - I'm giving us and the Hokies a bit of a karma break this week by not making anyone pick whether we're going to beat a -39.5 spread against Wofford. That said...I'll appreciate it if the Hokies manage to do it.
Another thought I've had rattling around:
I got it in my head that although we don't play for anything but bragging rights, I want to do something for this Pick 6 season's champion so I'll leave it for y'all to debate in the comments:
(EDIT to clarify: yes, I'll be making whichever y'all decide on)
A) A genuine, unofficial Virginia Tech-themed Pry Bar
B) A hand-carved orange and maroon turkey box call
C) An O&M Ice Cream Scoop to dole out your pie/cake complement of choice
On to The Games
(22) Penn State at Auburn (-3.5 PSU)
AUBURN AIN'T PLAYED NOBODY PAWWWWWL
But that might mean their starters are rested as Hell.
(12) BYU at (25) Oregon (-3.5 Nike)
The Ducks had their backs waxed by UGA then shed the EWU (uwu) Eagles off of them. The Stormin' Mormons beat USF and won by a 2OT squeak vs Baylor.
Cowbell State at LSU (-2.5 MisSU)
If not for FSU Luck©< this would be 2 unbeatens in week 3 and I think this works be a Pick'em
Texas Tech at (16) NC State (NCiS -10.5)
NCSU football fans are enjoying the rocket ride now but I don't think the fuse lasts a full season before it explodes.
Michigan State at Washington (WUuuuuu -2.5)
You know I had to
(13) Miami at (24) aTm (tammies (-5.5)
Schadenfreude vs Bakness. I don't know who wins, but I know I hate it either way
Summary
(22) Penn State at Auburn (-3.5 PSU)

Penn State covers
BYU wins outright
I got a fevah
NWO Wolfpack
Sparty
A&M has a history of bad performances involving an ACC team and a hurricane
Speaking of lines, VegasInsider has VT at -38 this weekend.
How hard are we smashing the Wofford cover?
-38???? They must either have not seen our offense OR they think our defense is going to have 3 scores by themselves....
Or they're considering how Wofford hasn't even scored against fellow FCS opponents yet.
Fair point.
War damn eagle
Dem mormons
It's geaux time
State might win but they don't cover, taking the Lubbock lads here
Sparty
I don't want to but I think the ibis is the pick
A pry bar for sure.
My name's under Ben I can't figure out how to add "w92" so...
Yeah, not cool that the CBS site automatically puts your real name.
Look under "My Entry", and there's a section that lets you change your name.
It's awesome that I'm Batman in this scenario 😁
when in CBS, click "my entry" at the top. Then you can edit your display name by clicking on the blue pencil.
It worked. I have been restored to my true identity.
Switching my delivery up this week to limit myself to 1-2 GIFs. Quality over quantity.
(22) Penn State at Auburn (-3.5 PSU) I honestly don't know, but I just feel like this will be a close game.
(12) BYU at (25) Oregon (-3.5 Nike) 50/50 game. I'm taking the home team.
Cowbell State at LSU (-2.5 MisSU) Need more cowbell. Can't wait for the Mike Leach interviews about LSU and BK.
Texas Tech at (16) NC State (NCiS -10.5) I think the Pack can win this one, but I do not trust them to cover.
Michigan State at Washington (WUuuuuu -2.5) Go Sparty
(13) Miami at (24) Tammies (-5.5) Tammies will show up for this one after being embarrassed all week. Plus we know that theU ain't bak.
Here's a live leak of the rehearsal for this week's yell leader:
Pry Bar v. Turkey Call v. Ice Scream Scoop
Penn State, because I just can't go for blue and orange.
Oregon, for reasons
Mississippi State because I need more cowbell and Brian Kelly killed a kid
NC State, for #goacc
Michigan State, because I like Sparty for some reason
Miami, because aTm is just embarrassing right now.
War Eagle
Mormons
Let the band play Neck
Red Raiders
Sparty
The cult school
Also, a pry bar is a great choice. Granted, I'm 8-12 two weeks in so I doubt I'll be seeing it.
Definitely a pry bar.
Penn State -3.5
Brigham Young +3.5
Louisiana State +2.5
Texas Tech +10.5
Michigan State +2.5
Miami +5.5
And unofficially
Also updated my username - whoops now you know my real identity
I vote for a the Pry Bar though logistically harder to get to the winner so the Turkey Call is second vote.I've read this is a hand turned call. Vote goes to turkey call.
To the picks:
Lions
Mormons
Mike Leach
Texas Tech
Mich State (no idea what's going on in this gif)
Miami
(22) Penn State at Auburn (-3.5 PSU)
(12) BYU at (25) Oregon (-3.5 Nike)
Cowbell State at LSU (-2.5 MisSU)
Texas Tech at (16) NC State (NCiS -10.5)
Michigan State at Washington (WUuuuuu -2.5)
(13) Miami at (24) aTm (tammies (-5.5)
Pry Bar v. Turkey Call v. Ice Scream Scoop It gets the most use.
(22) Penn State at Auburn (-3.5 PSU) I don't think PSU is very good, Clifford is woof
(12) BYU at (25) Oregon (-3.5 Nike) quack quack, but genreally jsut much more talent on Oregon side
Cowbell State at LSU (-2.5 MisSU) I have no earthly idea, there's no way LSU could be that bad
Texas Tech at (16) NC State (NCiS -10.5) setting up nicely for a Top 25 matchup in a month once we're ranked /s
Michigan State at Washington (WUuuuuu -2.5) Tucker is grossly overpaid but Washington is bleh
(13) Miami at (24) aTm (tammies (-5.5) one thing Fisher does well is revenge games
(22) Penn State at Auburn (-3.5 PSU) I think PSU wins but Auburn covers
(12) BYU at (25) Oregon (-3.5 Nike) This one was tough. I think Georgia is just THAT good and Oregon is actually a pretty good team. They'll win at home.
Miss. State at LSU (-2.5 MisSU) I hate Brian Kelly. Plus, they lost to LOLFSU
Texas Tech at (16) NC State (NCiS -10.5) I will continue to believe that ACC teams are garbage until proven otherwise
Michigan State at Washington (WUuuuuu -2.5) This is another tough one - but I think the B1G is overrated and I'll take Washington to win by a FG
(13) Miami at (24) aTm (tammies (-5.5) I just don't think Miami is that good. App State is underrated and I think, annoyingly, aTm is a better team than that game showed.
Pry Bar v. Turkey Call v. Ice Scream Scoop This is tough and it depends. If the Turkey Call is hand carved by you, then I want that all day long. Otherwise, the Pry Bar.
I put in an edit, but to clarify:
Yes, I'll make whichever one is the decided prize. The Pry bar will be a repainted Pry bar - I don't have any forging capabilities...yet.
I'll hand-carve the turkey box call or turn the ice cream scoop on my lathe.
okay then, I vote Turkey Box Call - hard to beat hand-made
Penn State -3.5
BYU +3.5 outright win
Miss St -2.5 Pirate gonna Pirate
Texas Tech +10.5 air raid!!!!!!
Michigan State +2.5 Sparty
aTm -5.5 Miami is NOT bak.
Ice Scream Scoop-fun for the whole family.
BOTW: Miller Lite at the member guest golf tournament. And if that goes really well, transition to the Woodford Double Oaked...
I'm late starting this but here goes:

My Vote:
All picks are wrong...
But my prize vote is right:
A hand-carved orange and maroon turkey box call
The custom box caller sounds awesome. Can't wait to not win it :/
Auburn wins outright
BYU....old Mormons
LSU....this one is almost a toss up, but I'll go with it.
Texas Tech, cause it's a big spread and NCSt will find a way to not win by that much
Michigan State ....Mel gets 'em going
aTm.....Schadenfreude beats Bakness, and just because they lost to Appy last weekend, it ain't gonna be particularly close
Auburn, outright
Oregon, but loses
Miss St, by 13+
Texas tech gonna keep it close I think
Michigan state outright
aTm, looking to set the record straight
Undecided between turkey call and pry bar. Personally, I'd love a Hokie turkey call to be displayed on the VT shelf in the room
I currently sit at 3rd with 9 more people, I'm the only one in the top 11 with Washington over MSU. Soon to be number for a short amount of time
How to fall from second gracefully: Go 1-5
Same here. Went 5-1 last week and 1-5 this week. This is why I don't really gamble.
I'm stunned I'm still tied for first after going two outta six this week. I guess it was a good week to pick like shit.
I'm in 14th after completely forgetting a week 😂 I feel like you can hold that spot down by just not forgetting to submit your picks
Me checking my picks this morning.
Ps thanks Miami for always being yourself so I didn't get boat raced.
Holy balls 1-5. What a week damn.
Looks like a lot of us hit 1-5 this week.
Some of us picked 2 correctly!
and here I was thinking my 3-3 performance was gonna kill me. I guess it was a shit week for everyone
Sometimes it be like it is but it do
