I'm a little disappointed that I missed the picks last week, but I checked mid-afternoon on Thanksgiving and didn't see them yet, so I figured they weren't going up. Oh well, I probably would have gone 2-14 or something.

Sorry, Gary. I got stuck covering a high school football game on Thanksgiving morning (and it was Branford at East Haven...there was a guy there spewing venom at the referee crew and I immediately thought that it must be Vinny from East Haven). I then had to get to the family gathering that afternoon, so I didn't get to the picks until that evening.
ReplyDeleteAlways check back. Over the last five years, the picks have never missed a week through holidays, knee surgery and child birth. (Lets see the U.S. Postal Service top that). With so much at stake, we can't afford to miss a week!
Chip, don't worry, I put the blame squarely on my own shoulders.
ReplyDeleteI also covered a HS football game that morning (for radio, in RI)
So I know how hectic Thanksgiving can be.
Are you heading to Tampa to cover this game Saturday? I really hope they are sending you, biggest game in UConn football history, the Register owes it to its readers to send someone to that game.

Hopefully my picks are enough to get me to the top. If not, I'll look to win it all in bowl season if you're planning on doing it Chip.
