"Independent" Pick'em - Gotta have something to do...

Re: "Independent" Pick'em - Gotta have something to do...

5hole - As Geof said we pretty much had no problems. The only thing I saw was a little ice at the very top of Monte Sano which I traversed coming home last night. That's the highest point around here. I was surprised that all of the elevated interstate freeways were clear. They sanded and salted the mountain and opened it up a couple of hours after they closed it... around here if you say the word ice/snow they close the mountain and elevated highways.

Green Mountain, Monte Sano, and Whitesburg Bridge were the closure areas though how much was closed I can't say. Though sections of other roads, including Cecil Ashburn, were closed for a while as the sand trucks did their jobs. Worst we had was on our front porch since the composite material it's made of glazes when it gets wet and cold, far worse than real wood. I expected them to close Memorial like they typically do, but I don't think they ever did. We got far less than expected.

Having grown up farther north it didn't bother me much and I was out and about in the afternoon. Granted I hate this far more than actual snow. Freezing rain, as Atlanta found out, is nasty stuff and we're better of not getting it.

Re: "Independent" Pick'em - Gotta have something to do...

We had four people correctly pick the four games this week. Congrats to them. Week 12 holds no choices since all former CHA teams (and all other teams too) are off for Christmas week. Week 13 will be our next week of Pick'em after Christmas.

Niagara is the only team not in action in Week 13. There are 10 NCAA games that will count towards the Pick'em scoring and one interesting "Bonus" exhibition game you may call for "fun" or "bragging rights" if you want to. Since I don't count exhibition games it will not count towards your score.

Here are the standings after 11 weeks of play:

[FONT="Comic Sans

MS"]STANDINGS[/FONT]
from Week 11's Independent Pick'em are as follows:

Standings:
true2BSU -------------------- 32-20 .643% *

BigBlue2Ba -------------------51-33 .607%

gfmorris --------------------- 52-42 .553%
RMUColonials -----------------30-25 .545% *

Picked less than 50% to date:
UAHStatman ------------------ 7-4 .636%

I am greatly amused that Army gets the Russian kids. In Soviet Russia, Army schedules you!
