Cocoa Beach, FL

Fully retired and spending all of his time gloming free cruises off his wife’s job, watching NASCAR guys turn left really, really fast, and rooting for the Vols.  Except for the NASCAR and Vol rooting parts I envy him.

The new Web-site picking should help him out as he travels around the world as he won’t have to wait for an email from me – at least with getting his picks in but not necessarily with the quality of the picks.  However, no matter where he is you can depend on his loyalty to the Niners and the Middies – for the most part an unfulfilling endeavor.

Albuquerque, NM

Our token Big 10’er (+1) in here picking against all us SEC’ers knowing he doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in Alabama in July – which is basically equivalent to any Big 10+1 team’s chance against an SEC team in the BCS Championship game – but we do appreciate that he shows up at all.

Defending champion in the college ranks; AU guy having to live in Austin and listen to that Texas crap all year long; hoping for an AU national championship just to shut them up – me too TxTgr.

Made significant life changes in the off season as he finally got out of the workaholic position he was in so that he could attend more Auburn football games plus he has changed to a church whose prayers may be more Auburn friendly.

How many games can his FIU Panthers win this year – one, maybe two if they are really lucky; but maybe they will win the Miami fight this year.  But for the love of mankind

 I hope PJB’s picking is better than FIU’s playing.

Houston, TX

Confided to me in a secret email that she really plans to spend less time on her golf game and more time on her picking skills this season.  I understand her situation as I gave up ever getting any better at golf too.  Maybe her Chippies can win another MAC brass championship ring this season.

BAB

Elizabeth “Doe” – Bama Babe – but she obviously doesn’t understand how acronyms work

Duck River, TN

MAO claims to be her sister but BAB has not given a reciprocal acknowledgment.  BAB claims to have a summa cum laude degree from UAT but again unsubstantiated; however she appears to be both astute and honest as her entry form stated “all Bama  grads are illiterate”.

A 15-year old minor and possibly MAO’s niece.  Why MAO was compelled to drag an innocent child into this maelstrom I do not know – but that is Bama logic for you.  I hope the young lady has a good psychologist picked out.  You guys watch your language and there will be absolutely no nudity this year.

In the six years that MAO has competed in this contest UAT has never beaten AU.  A coincidence – I think not.  But she was smart enough to drag two more UAT fans/relatives into the contest to share her shame and sadness.

There once was a Coach named Mike.

His first game was truly a fright.

The 12^th man was done

When Arkansas State won

 A&M’s future is not bright.

Houston, TX

Well, I guess that I won’t say anything too negative about our Web-Master since he appears to have invented a better “mousetrap” for keeping tally of the scores which will allow me to not do all that higher math and being corrected by you pickers who I shorted.  His New Mex State Aglets are still purty pitiful though.

Eglin AFB, FL

Still pounding his head against the wall because of his late season collapse in the pros that allowed WEW to tie him for pro championship.  Keeps mentioning something about some Gator player winning some big award last season.  All I remember is UF lost their bowl game plus they lost to Auburn.

Has promised me that he will spend less time working and more time picking this season and I intend to reward that type of commitment in his yearly appraisal.  It matters not what his final picking record is, it is just the extra effort I appreciate.  You cannot ask for more than that from your employees.

Reached that 60 year old milestone this year but while his age grows along a linear scale his animosity towards UAT has grown logarithmically.  (LTF that means a lot and it’s a good thing.)

Eglin AFB, FL

I know that given the new picking system KC will struggle with determining how to pick as many “State” teams as possible which was her primary picking technique in the previous years.  I am confident that she can adapt and at least beat the UAT trio.

So the real reason he quit working for me at   Eglin to return to Oklahoma came out this year as BSD got his season tickets to the OU games.  Well, I feel better now that I know it wasn’t just to get away from my supervisory disabilities

Golden Knight boy tutored by his dad MTM using his “Football Picking for Dummies” techniques.  He was smart enough to get a government job so that he would have the time to compete in this honored event.

Eglin AFB, FL

Other than hoping  that he can beat RTM in this contest his biggest concern is that the Gator football team is like an F-16 aircraft.  It has one engine (aka Tim Tebow) and if that engine fails or gets damaged you are going down hard.

Hoping that senile old HC Bobby Bowden doesn’t get too involved in actually coaching the FUS team this season so that they might have a shot at something better than a 7-6 season.

GWM

G. Wayne Miller

Louisiana State  University

Houston, TX

Someway, somehow he has scrapped together enough brain cells to compete once more in this contest.  His LUS team claimed another National Championship last year by easily gutting another outmanned pathetic excuse for a football team from the Big 10 +1.
