Fantasy Week in Review - Week 8

by yellow fever on Oct 22, 2008 6:32 PM PDT in California Golden Bears Football

It's always nice when you leave 31 points on the bench...and realize it wouldn't have made a difference anyway.

But I guess that was to be expected, since I think the only other time I lost was the same weekend that Cal lost. Water under the bridge now, but that's another reason you should root for the lawnmower.

Standings:

West Division
hydro_tech	6-2
Get the Lawnmower!	5-3
The Purple Erkels	3-5
Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots	3-5
Maharg	1-7

East Division
The Bear Necessities	6-2
Golden_Zigers	6-2
Boller Believers!	5-3
Longshorebos	3-5
Pappy's Revenge	2-6

Really. Just when you thought the Maharg couldn't get any more useless.

And after begging for someone to stand alone in first in the Pick'em league, that came true this weekend, but it wasn't me. It was our dear ragnarok standing alone with 81 correct after a 9/18 week, which means, wow. We're all pretty awful.

Okay, once again, I have to say, in the Pick Em league I’m 11 points off the lead.

Had I picked in week 1, I would probably have gotten around 15-16 correct picks (since so many games were cupcake pick’ems). Thus, if I had played in week one, I would be in first place by a comfortable 4-5 point lead.

HydroTech pwns all.

What would really be embarrassing is if you won the pick’em. Everyone of the losers should send you tribute.

Fever, didn’t you have Juice Williams for a while? Why’d you drop him? He’s averaging like 35 points a game.

Chase Daniel had more points per game at that point, and Juice had a few clunkers in a row.

Still happy over the fact that the Nets signed Ryan Anderson. Now if only they can sign Leon Powe after this year...

I knew that The Maharg could get MORE useless and worthless. You think he hits rock bottom, but he’s barely scratched the surface!

I'm no The Maharg! But I try. Oh, how I try!

It’s all part of my plan.

It’s times like this I wish they’d never discovered CougCenterium.

1-7? How did The Maharg ever win 1? Are PAC-10 refs just as bad in the Pick’em league?

The worst part about Maharg winning one game is that the win was against me. I REALLY need to go kill myself.

i picked using sagarin’s numbers to calculate what he thought the spread should be. yes, i took the lead, but i was only 50/50 in doing so. maybe i’ll try it again, but maybe i won’t.

that’s also why i was the only person to take arizona and the points last week.

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

What's the playoff format?

Longshorebos are making a charge, but I think only the top two teams from each division go. If so, I’ll take pride and leading the league in points and somehow missing the playoffs.

I think you’re still alive. But you need Golden Zigers and yellow fever to go tanking on you…

Oh, did one of them beat you?

Yeah, you’re out. That was cruel.
