*** Season Long Challenge Week 9 ***

No UNLV/CSU? Damn East Coast bias. 

No UNLV/CSU? Damn East Coast bias. 

So unfair it was worth complaining about twice! Apparently. 

I'm going to go off the board and take Oklahoma State -15.5 for 55 points. 

 looks like some people must have been complaining last week, should have read that I guess...as most knew up front picking games where you have no opinion on 80-90% of the games is not a handicapping contest...the skill (and money) in handicapping is being right more often than not on specific games not random ones, this is more like buying a few lottery tickets chance to win a few hundred....something everyone knew upfront so no reason to question

we'll try one more week of this entertainment

Nebraska   -4.5

Tenn +5

Oregon St +4.5

WV   -6.5 

Louisville  -3

Ga Tech +4
Tulsa  -3

Penn St -6

Arizona +7

UCLA +6.5

There is no problem with the format we all agreed to it at the beginning of the season.  Knew I rushed all of those picks this week but was going out of town.

Here to finish it out and hopefully get a little momentum going into bowl season.  I will definetely be in for a Boom Boom - Bowl Challenge  ( I would assume all bowl games will be part of the format)

 

OH NO!...you don't have any knowledge or awareness of a great limiting factor in the decision making process......of the other 6.5 billion or so people on this earth?.........
    *practically impossible for us to make any decision or statement that doesn't involve some subconscious bias ......from slight to extreme.....it's not intentional of course....but it is there and the more AWARE you are of it....the less damaging ....those oblivious (and resist acknowledging).... it's POWER.....watch the fuck out
    *most common and easiest to understand example... is of course racism.....like some white dudes here.....NOT ME MAN!......meanwhile no black friends.....wouldn't be seen dead with a black chick in public.....and would shoot your only daughter if she brought a black dude home...............

VERY INTERESTING.....in this case .....you bristle up and can only DENY .....hey not me man!......I'm above that shit!........ 
     *silly and in fact extremely arrogant

Suggesting ....that here the potential for bias is extremely high .....

the POINT here is simple.....no need for a built in possible advantage....my simple minded ass can fix it fairly quickly...

103 Connecticut         
104 Pittsburgh           -10.5       
 
113 UAB     
114 Marshall              -6.5    


123 Clemson             -4.5    
124 Georgia Tech     
 

   *simply go down and take every 5th game or so .(maybe to tighten it up a little...go to next game if conference already picked).....
last game would be.....Ark St /NT...#203/204
* lookie there's Clemson again......see how cool this system is!......

we have removed any potential for bias....(starting point would have to be set > I started with 2nd game) sure impossible to make it totally fair for everyone....but we have done what we can......SO NOW THE WINNER CAN BE CERTAIN THAT ALL CONTESTANTS HAD THE SAME CHANCE TO WIN....otherwise the win would be tainted of course....

**as we entered this one knowing the deal.....no bitch from me at all.....sounds like you really need this one bad.....so best of luck ....you put in the work and seem to have this CFB season figured out better than most.....me included  

 

Bookie... Clemson is a featured game this week. There among the only 13 games with spreads 7 or less. Did you want me to put in Buffalo vs whogivesashit university. ( causethat would be great for TV), right?

Look, the contest is fair. I think your totally off base here with your BS. Actually like I said, if I wasn't winning this thing it wouldn't be a issue


of the 28 people in this contest I think that prolly 25 of them would side with my opinion on this issue.

 Everytime that you post something like this I honestly laugh out loud. I agree, that it is a ridiculous notion that Boom is winning this thing because he has some sort of unfair advantage, you could give everyone the halftime scores in advance and 80% of the public would still not have been able to match his production so far.  

 

  With that being said I would not be at all surprised if someone other than Boom were to be the ultimate winner in this thing. There are too many games to be played yet to go ahead and crown his ass.

Thats right! Boom is goin down!! We aren't crowning nobody's ass yet by god.

LMAO.....Boomer has forgot more about college football than most people know. One of the BEST on covers period.

I can't wait for his boys to lose though, cause when they do.....Its gonna be hell to pay for us fukers!! Talk about going off!!! If they lose you boys better tread lightly and be on your best behavior cause he won't be in a good mood he he..
