Thanks Sue. I am in with limited knowledge of college football but hoping for luck to carry me through.

That's one of the nice parts about bowls though, anything can happen so knowledge doesn't really matter too much on these. Or at least that's what I told my hubby when he signed up for it!

Just a day away from bowl season!!!

First games are tomorrow, get those picks in and the couch warmed up!!

I'm readyyyyyyyyyyyyy !! bring on the games

Bump for the evening shift. You can make picks until 1 pm tomorrow.

Looks like a good group already, it's up to 14 now!

Hey I want in. Hey Sue, how do you feel about Gardner at QB? I think he give the Maize and Blue the best chance to beat the Gamecocks!

At this point, I think Gardner should start, too. It just doesn't sound like Robinson is healed up enough. But I worry a LOT about Gardner throwing interceptions, that killed us against OSU. Whatever happens in the Bowl, I think having Gardner at QB next year, with all the practice time he'll get before then, has the makings for a mighty fine season!!

True on the int front but Robinson has his fair share of issues in that respect as well. Gardner is far better throwing down field which is precisely why Hemingway and Gallon saw a performance resurgence.

There were sure some exciting plays when both of them were in, and Denard basically playing running back. That's a great way to confuse the defense, too! I just hope they give me a New Year's Day win, but it's going to be a tough game.

One more reminder that picks need to be in before 1 pm ET tomorrow!

There's one entry that still doesn't have it's picks in, so please double check that your picks were saved. Thanks!
