Someone forgot to Get the Lawnmower, because it got ran over by the Pain Train.
Really, it's nice how half my team decides they all want to play like they're playing for Auburn at the same time. Actually, that's charitable. Auburn's offense may have been able to do better. But you know what's even better is that this week I get to play Avi, and his team only doubled my score last week. Should be all kinds of exciting!
As for the Pick'Em, a quick persual of the standings of the on the right side of the page should reveal that your party host is back in first. Ok, tied for first, but still.
It's Yellow Fever's world! Party time! Excellent!
And as for CBKWit, for all that bellyaching about not getting his picks in on time, he managed to go a nifty 8-8. Me? 12-4. I rule. Now about those Eagles...

Javon Ringer is not playing like that again. I predict a 4 TD game, mixed in with a 6 TD game from Chase Daniel. Yo soy fucked.
Anyway, for those who are interested in fantasy football…
Game of the week
Yellow Fever (4-2) vs. Me (5-1)
This could be a preview of #1 vs #2 playoff seeds depending on the result. Too early to tell, but a win puts me at 6-1, and with games against the Maharg and Purple Erkels coming up (not easy games, but not worldbeaters either), could put me in the driver’s seat for the #1 seed (or at the very least a playoff berth). A loss drops me back to the pack and I can’t afford many more slipups.
Similar things for Yellow Fever, who would earn the head-to-head victory and would be tied with me at 5-2. Although this doesn’t help in the division race as much, he’d also maintain at least a share of the lead with HydroTech in the West. Also they face off against each other next week, so a win for each one is crucial.
Bet the over on our game, whatever the over is. Chase Daniel and Graham Harrell. Javon Ringer and Derrick Washington. Auburn’s defense. Brandon LaFell. Lots of uys in the double digits. Except for Fever’s Clemson kicker, who managed an awesome extra point today. And what an extra point it was.
Speaking of which, Hydro (4-2) faces Rock ‘Em Sock ’Em Robots (3-3) in a western showdown. Hydro winning this one would put him in comfortable position for the playoffs. A loss means he’ll pretty much need to beat Yellow Fever next week. Rock ’Em Sock ’Em is very much alive.
The other 4-2 teams are Ragnarok’s Boller Believers and the aforementioned Golden Zigers. Golden Zigers plays 1-5 Maharg, who is trying to play the role of spoiler from here on out (I play him next week, gulp). Ragnarok’s got fellow 1-5 Pappy’s Revenge, who for some reason has Vereen and Calvin playing this week, as well as Navy’s Shun White.
Finally, poor 1-5 CBKWit is trying for the late-season charge. He faces 3-3 Purple Erkels, who have scored the next-to-last amount of points, but has two more wins than CBKWit, who has outscored him by 140 points. Sad. Such is life in fantasy football.

Yeah
I have some critical games coming up. I don’t know who to play this week. Pryor vs. Purdue? Juice vs. Minnesota?? or Robert Griffin vs. Iowa State??? So many decisions!!!
Plus, do I play Jonathan Dwyer (GA Tech RB) vs. Gardner Webb? Or Charles Scott vs. Florida? Scott might have a hard time against Florida’s D. But I’m afraid the Georgia Tech blowout of Gardner Webb will mean Dwyer will get 10 carries then get benched – it’s not like GA Tech is going to need Dwyer to roll over Gardner Webb.

Well, no one in the Big 12 plays defense, and Iowa State just blew a 21 point lead to Kansas. I like Griffin, but Pryor is definitely a possibility.
The running back thing is definitely a tossup. It could go either way.

I’m really torn on my RB decision… I’m afraid to not start Scott because he’s averaging like 8 yards a carry… but he’s going to be playing Florida this week…
But I don’t know if Dwyer is going to have a 10 carry game for like 50 yards… or like a 10 carry game for 200 yards.

Wow… okay, I think I’m going to do something crazy. I’m going to start Dwyer and Scott, and bench P.J. Hill. Hill is playing PSU this week. Penn State is only allowing 2.51 yards a carry this year!!! Florida is allowing 3.21 yards per carry.
Scott it is. Hill is benched.

gah, Iowa State is giving up a gaping 8.0 yards per attempt in the passing game… I think I’m going to go with Robert Griffin…

Fortune favors the bold. I like both of these decisions.

I thought Fortune favored the bald? Isn’t that why I keep rubbing their head?
I'm no The Maharg! But I try. Oh, how I try!

I can’t believe I lost to Maharg. That’s shameful. I lost to Rags too, but at least he’s a worthy foe.

I’m not that good. I didn’t even really remember I had a team until people made a big deal about me facing CBKWit.
It’s times like this I wish they’d never discovered CougCenterium.

I know… you didn’t even start all your players the week you played me… and I still lost.

I wish I had participated in fantasy football
Pick ’em will have to do for now!
In other words, Go Bears!

Perhaps next year we’ll set up two fantasy football leagues. We weren’t sure how much interest we’d get thus we only had one league. But I suppose if we have enough interest for two leagues next year, we’ll do two.

maybe if we actually get sponsors
And decide that we’re not going to kinda sorta maybe donate the proceeds to the band.
Still happy over the fact that the Nets signed Ryan Anderson. Now if only they can sign Leon Powe after this year...

You can have my team if you want, it’s only moderately worthless.
