Here's what you all are playing for one more time:
I have a few other options for the horse including a low poly edition, one with a flowing mane, and possibly a Pegasus style pony. Also, you have the option of brown guy as seen above, maroon, or if you want something fancier and more trophy-like I will print it in a bronze or gold finish.
Also, I would like to thank 2in1 for putting this together again.
This makes me wish I would have participated
You're missing out on the dozens of broken horse legs that will be used for participation trophies.

1st place is 46 I currently have 36. 6 games this week, carry the 1, add 2, divide by 4...a win seems unlikely.
Yeah I am mathematically eliminated however

No idea what I'm drinking this weekend. None...I've posted 12 different brown liquors and that's all I've got...
It's holiday beer season. GBS, Mad Elf, and new to me this year Merry Monkey are going to be staples through the end of the year.
I'll have to check a few of them out. And thank you for the reminder. Celebration is always one of my fav as well.
I haven't had that one in a while. I might have to see if I can find some before Christmas.
Love Sierra Nevada. Prob my favorite main stream national brand. Picked up a 6 of the Celebration for tonight and it does not disappoint. Solid as always. Could be a daily drinker if it was year around, but the pale serves that purpose. After craft 16oz 8% brews, 12oz pales go down like lemonade.
Dale's, Sierra Nevada, Two Hearted and Jai Alai are my main stays. Not all pale ales, but yeah I feel you.
Dale's for USMNT games for sure. Double two hearted for when I want that resin flavor. Jai alai takes too long to get up here so it's never fresh. Heck, I was checking cans of Other Half the other day and most were 4-5 months old. In Delaware. Luckily I can just go to Philly or DC and scoop what I want.
Good DC bottle shops and Monk's are a dream.
Monks is something. Found Pliny the Younger and Elder at the same time there last year. The mussels? Outstanding. The bottle list? Ridiculous.
Sure thanks! I had a theoretical chance to still win if 9 others ahead of me picked all six games opposite of me AND I went 6-0 and won the tiebreaker....til YOU picked 4 out of 6 same as I did.(I have Tulane and OSU vs TX and SMU for you). Ah well - still an outside chance of finishing on the podium....and I can still drink!
I have better chance to win one of the three pool tournaments I'll play in today and tomorrow.(Friday 8-1130pm; Fri midnight-Sat 6m, and Sat 5-11pm)-I've on the Friday night one once and the overnight one once (AND a 3rd place finish in that overnight one the next week)
Sorry. I have a feeling about SMU winning outright but that could just be gas.
Best of luck this weekend!
Ah well 2-4 for an 11th place finish- but not bad for my rookie season in Pick Six.
Some people might be playing for a trophy, I am playing for fun.
Me too and (after careful consideration) I will NOT enter the transfer portal but finish my career here at TKP rather than transferring to Techsideline or any other site! 800% committed. Respect my decision.
AND I have unlimited eligibility (as long as I pay Joe his NIL $84-or whatever future cost ends up being- that is)!
Gonna be real close here the last two games, TUG and I sitting even with the same picks. Benw92 with the exact opposite picks of tug and I, sitting one point behind
While we ended with a tie, I would like to qualify my number 1 ranking similar to the CFB playoff. Who looked more like a champion ( despite this weeks results as an outlier)? I DID have a closer final score prediction than my competition, TUG.
I am in the SEC and TUG is clearly in G5 worthy ACC, so obviously my path to get here was much more difficult and I would definitely bring in better tv ratings
You each get half of the trophy.
So, what are we actually doing about this? Is there a tie breaker via score prediction or otherwise?
I'm not opposed to making 2 trophies. I'll make one .05% smaller and we can see if y'all ever figure out who was really #1.
Bowl Challenge?
Army-Navy game for all the marbles.
And if they both guess the same team, closest to the actual score.
Make three trophies paint one gold and cut it in half, then paint one silver and cut it in half then send half gold and half silver to Harrinpa and TUG.
Then take the 3rd one and paint it bronze, ignore benw92 and send it to me!
Hey!
Fine don't be a team player .... send benw92 the bronze one then make a 4th one that is maroon and orange for honorable mention, and send it to me.
I would say we've got 2 Co-champions but I'm not going to make any requirements of maxandcheese regards to the trophy.
If TUG & Harrinpa want to do an Army-Navy tie-breaker, I'm good with that as well. I think the line is currently Army -2.5.
I think what you meant to say was good game.
I had a lot of fun and appreciate 2Hokiesin1 setting this up.
What do you want your trophy to look like?
What do you want your trophy to look like?
I blame UGA for not winning by enough, their under performance against Vandy, USCe, Auburn, and UAB really hurt my chances. The SEC ruins everything!
So if the first two players are in a tie, the championship trophy goes to the player in 3rd?
I got a call that it must be hand-delivered to Alabama.
And to 2Hokiesin1:
Thanks for doing this, this season. We all had some fun and most saw how poorly we do ATS.
Happy Holidays to all!
Agreed- thanks 2in1!
On a personal note I don't know how I possibly finished tied for 16th considering where I was after like 5 weeks.
Agreed. Thank you for taking the reigns from me and allowing me to be buried in work and home life and everything else while enjoying just making picks. Top 4, I'll take it. If only I had put $5 on every game, I would be able to pay for park8ng at the bowl game.
It's a privilege to do this for everyone. Some apologies if my humor doesn't land for everyone. I honestly write things to amuse myself and hope someone else gets the references.
👊
I completely missed the last week of picks so "Picksburg" got mothballed early. Thanks for organizing. I had fun picking and amused myself writing an episode each week. Hope I didn't offend anyone with my twisted humor.

Good season everyone!
