Week 9, 2011 Results

Posted on October 31, 2011 by gamedaycole

I had to work all weekend so I wasn’t able to update the blog. I’ve been burning through the DVR to catch up on all the picks and here’s how things turned out. Michigan State, Wisconsin and Clemson tripped up almost all of our experts with NONE of our panel picking Georgia Tech to upset Clemson (side note: I had Clemson on UPSET ALERT). Most of the guys batted around .500 this week, except for Lee Corso (8-4) and Tom Luginbill (7-2). This week’s loser is without a doubt Gameday’s special guest Eric Stonestreet going 2-7, but among our ESPN crew I have to give Colin Cowherd a rare loss going 2-4.

Week 8, 2011 Results

Posted on October 24, 2011 by gamedaycole

Here’s the results from Week 8 of our 2011 season. The only ones who actually picked Michigan State to upset Wisconsin were Dan Hawkins (welcome to the rankings), Mateen Cleaves (who went to Michigan St.), Tim Cowlishaw and my girlfriend Jennifer. Most of the guys had very mediocre weeks hovering around 50%, so I’ll give this week’s win to Desmond Howard at 7-2. This week’s loss goes to Lou Holtz at 2-4 with a surprising 1-3 coming from Howie Schwab. I guess both OU and Wisconsin getting upset is the reason for the mediocre picks this week. Also I’d like to welcome Brock Huard back to the flock after his appearances on ESPNU this week. Enjoy.
