Week 4 Summary
Well, I think knowing I also wasn't losing a pick to Marshall last week helped a little.¹ Still...
Vtdirk12 led the way going 5-1. His only mistake was trusting Lane Kiffin to not screw him.
In silver lining news, no one went ohfer! I believe in you, 07Hokie!
I'm a little pressed for time this week so I'll drop the summary and the pick link here.
SUMMARY
(22) FLORIDA at KENTUCKY (UK -3.5)
CLEMSON at SYRACUSE (CLE -6.5)
LOLuva at bc (bc -2.5)
(1) GEORGIA at AUBURN (GAH -14.5)
(13) LSU at (20) Old Miss (LSU -2.5)
wvu at TCU (TCU -11.5)
¹Nah, it actually didn't help at all

We are quickly approaching George Costanza "just do the opposite of what I feel is right" territory with this season...
Well I won a week, that's the highlight of my pick 6 season. I'll transfer all my luck to the Hokies from now on

(22) FLORIDA at KENTUCKY (UK -3.5) - Vegas definitely knows something I don't about this one. Spread makes no sense to me.
CLEMSON at SYRACUSE (CLE -6.5) - Tough one, especially with it being @ Cuse.
LOLuva at bc (bc -2.5) - I think lolUVA pick up the W here finally.
Hopefully Colandrea keeps doing Colandrea things. Musket is apparently starting 😢(1) GEORGIA at AUBURN (GAH -14.5) - damnable 14.5 pt spread again
(13) LSU at (20) Old Miss (LSU -2.5) Brian Kelly is going to kill a kiffin. Long live Freshwater.
wvu at TCU (TCU -11.5)
I'm ashamed of myself for picking cousins, lolUVA, and LSU in one week. Truly disgusting.
Edit: I promise I'll stop posting HOAT pics for a while after this one. I just wanted to get feedback from TKP before I work on the model again this weekend. Any suggestions in overall design or what you want the trophy to say? The scaling is off and I am leaning towards scaling up the treadmill vs scaling down the horse. Any feedback welcome thx. Mini helmet (~6in) for perspective.
Dude, that trophy design is oh so sweet!
This trophy looks great. Will really be appreciated by whomever winds up earning it.
With regard to the requested input:
As there is no chance I will win this trophy based upon my performance to date, I prob don't have any reasonable standing to offer input. However that has never stopped me before 😂, so:
I do like the idea of adding fully dipped somewhere. I should be able to on the deck of the treadmill.
Damn you UVA, you should have played that chaos machine at QB.
(22) FLORIDA at KENTUCKY (UK -3.5)
CLEMSON at SYRACUSE (CLE -6.5)
LOLuva at bc (bc -2.5) - not sure if this game or VT Pitt will be more eye burning to watch
(1) GEORGIA at AUBURN (GAH -14.5)
(13) LSU at (20) Old Miss (LSU -2.5)
wvu at TCU (TCU -11.5)
Yes, I just picked UVA an WVU in the same week.
They got the CW treatment, so it should be entertaining in the worst way possible.
"The year is 2023 VT is 1-3 and your betting on WVU and UVA to both win this week"
Sounds like the start of a horror movie or something
I'm laughably bad this season.
Can't be worse than me. I'm on the struggle bus for real. I need several people to forget their picks for a couple weeks just to get back in it. It's a shame too cuz that treadmill looks awesome
Well I'm 2 places and 1 point worse than you to this point lol. Which was a lot like last year but I'm pretty sure that was for first place not 27th.
I hate all of these games, I feel like I am going 0-6 this week

Bourbon of the week: It's Ryder Cup Week!!!! And that means some of this special edition:
The toasted oak adds a nice smoothness to this. And given the showing today, much needed.

(22) FLORIDA at KENTUCKY (UK -3.5) - this is tough - Kentucky hasn't really played anyone, but they've beaten the snot out of all of them. Florida has been all over the place, losing to Utah, beating Tennessee scraping by Charlotte...I'll take the home team to win by a TD
CLEMSON at SYRACUSE (CLE -6.5) - Oof. Clemson is 2-2. Syracuse hasn't really played anyone of note but they've won pretty convincingly, mostly. Clemson's defense hasn't been nearly as scary as years past and I don't trust their offense to keep up with 'Cuse.
LOLuva at bc (bc -2.5) - Do I really need to explain this one?
(1) GEORGIA at AUBURN (GAH -14.5) - Auburn looks good when they play a nobody. But when they face a team with a pulse they can't score. The question here is whether or not Auburn's defense can keep Georgia within reach. I think probably not.
(13) LSU at (20) Old Miss (LSU -2.5) - yikes. LSU took a shellacking from FSU (maybe they underestimated them and came in underprepared?) but has looked decent otherwise. Ol Miss has looked pretty good when they haven't been getting stomped by Bama. I think this will be a really good game but LSU pulls it out in the end. Winning by a FG
wvu at TCU (TCU -11.5) - I don't know if TCU wins by 2 scores or more. I'm not even sure they can win at all, but I sure hope they do. Because fuck WVU. That's why.
You know better.
I know you know better.
You know that everyone know's that you know better.
"they ain't played nobody Pawl!"
Still giving you one though.
D'oh!
Cheers!!!!!
My gawd I have been turrble this season. 2-4 like two weeks in a row. 6 games back from the leader half way thru the season. Ouch.
I am not good at this
The writers of the hit show "Picksburg" are on strike demanding a change in management. Until management can pick more than one winner per week and not be DFL, they refuse to write anymore episodes.
Jk, good luck with the picks.
This isn't going to last long or age well but I'm #1!
I hate you UGA, why do you suck so much?! Two weeks in a row.
2-4 again baby. Went from first to last in a hurry. Been at the bottom long enough I am hanging some curtains.
Being in the basement is not that bad, it is cooler down here.....I love that there is a huge tie for 18th place and then me at 26th place. I am trying real hard to make the rest of you look good.
Wild that there's 4 with the same w-l record but because of the confidence points, there's a good spread in the ESPN group.
