7 BYU @ 8 TahTech (Tt -10.5) But honestly, have no real preference
Maryland @ Rutgers (DMV -1.5)
Iowa State @ TCU (Frogs -6.5)
9 Oregon @ 20 IOWA (OR -5.5)
Stanford @ unc (unc -9.5)
LSU @ 4 ALABAMA (bam -10.5)

As always, picking the team I want to lose.

Mormons on the spread, TT wins
Terps win the Dregs of the BIG Bowl
Frawgs
Hawkeys win the spread, lose the game (much to the chagrin of my Hawkeye bride)
Trees
Rolltide

I don't even read people's usernames; I just look at their prof pics.

Same - my Dad is turning 81 this month, Mom just turned 77. Definitely trying to visit as much as possible- and I am still trying to get them to move down here to the OBX, but I think the housing price explosion a couple years ago has taken away that possibility

I understand where you are coming from and applaud your perspective.

My Dad has passed and Mom is 81. I am blessed with 6 weeks of vacation so for the last 5 years I have been using a week in the spring and one in the fall (next week actually) to travel down into Virginia to spend with Mom.

Since my primary goal of anyone but Penn State winning the national championship has already been achieved, I'm just hoping that both Iowa State and VT can each win at least 1 more game this year. Iowa State has Oklahoma State, so should get 1 there. But both are looking bad now.

Good for him for making it to 78! Average US man lifespan is75 years and he did not have the look of a man with average health. Average US woman lifespan is 81.

(These are things I think about with my parents reaching the average lifespan in the US, and trying to make sure I do what I can to enjoy our last 2, 10, 20, or who knows years together on this earth.)

Well, in Elkton the surname Merica is pronounced Murky, so make of that what you will

You missed a crazy first period against the Wild last night. With the ensuing penalties after the cheap shot on Chatfield and fight there were 3 goals in less than a minute (Canes-Wild-Canes). Then just 3 minutes later Canes got another goal. 3 goals in 5 minutes to go from down 1 to up 1.
