We have no trophy, no preseason top 10, a mashed up Bio page that is still under construction, but we are starting a new season!
The six dollar Hat prize went to Dave "Famous Dave" Berry.
The five dollar Hat prize went to Tom "No, not that Tom, another Tom" Seale.
Kevin "The Infernal Pessimist" did not pick against FSU, but he did give us the fewest points, so he scored the best pick of the week at 12. Will he run down the ramp with Dabo and touch the rock next week???
Despite the tough week, Scott "Yarbrough, not Brumage" hangs on to the overall lead.
Cynthia won the unreported prize in the Hat Contest.
Mark "Big Money" Friedemann did a fine job of hosting the game and kept the six buck Hat Prize.
The situation became even more suspicious when Mr. Convery claimed the six dollar Hat prize with a 4-point pick.
As a result Eric "Chasing Butterflies" Shaw moved back into first place. Last week Mr. Shaw and Mr. Convery tied for the best pick. This week, neither showed up to watch the game. Are Kevin's bad habits rubbing off on Eric?? The concerned public wants to know.
Mark "Host with the Most" Friedemann and CC did a great job hosting, so they deserved taking the $5 hat pick.
Kevin "The Haberdasher" Convery made another tie to win the week. This time, he and "Merciless" Mark Friedemann scored 3-point picks. However, Mr. Friedemann still wants the head of all the referees as well as our defensive coordinator.
Amazingly, that leaves Eric "Papillon" clinging to first place by one point.
The big news of the week is that your Humble Scorekeeper hit the exact score of the Hat Contest and returned home with a hard earned six bucks.
This leaves Eric "The Butterfly Whisperer" Shaw in second place, but he consoled himself with a hefty six dollar Hat Contest prize.
So, what kind of world do we live in where Eric's conservative, low-scoring pick beats Kevin's higher-scoring, optimistic pick??
Unconcerned with all the drama, Dave "Dialing for Dollars" Berry phoned in the winning four dollar Hat pick, his second win of the year.
You might think that would make Kevin "More Evil than Evil" Convery unhappy, but instead, he scored another win with a 5-point pick. We all know he is cheating. We just can't figure out how.
That leaves Mr. Convery in first place with Eric "Woof!" Shaw still dogging his heels.
Mark "Moolah" Friedemann claimed the Hat Prize in a close contest with a 6-point pick.
Your Scorekeeper won for the first time this year with a stirling 5-point pick. In less important news, Eric "Boomerang" Shaw bounced back ahead of Kevin "The Kevil" Convery to take a slim lead going into the final game of the regular season.
Your Scorekeeper also won the Hat for the second time this year and pocketed the five dollar grand prize.
Our hearts go out to Jordan Travis this week. The team still has very big games coming
up. We are not going to give up on this season because, remember...
Eric "Kangaroo" Shaw fought the whole year and was knocked out of first on a tough pick for the final game. Congratulations for a competitive effort; it is Good. Mr. Shaw can at least console himself with the Hat Contest prize.
Your Scorekeeper and Dave "Pet Master" Berry hung around close the whole season and jumped into a tie for second to end the year. The Humble One had his second win in a row under 6 points. It is Good.
And that brings us to Kevin "Killjoy" Convery. He made his astonishing sixth pick of 5 points or less and jumped back into the lead. It was... it was... well, it was unfortunate, but I have triple checked the numbers, and I can't find a way out of crowning Kevin the king of 2023. The only problem is that we don't have a trophy to engave his name into.
Thank you everyone for playing, and good luck to the Noles against Louisville.
I have applied the proper 24-15 score. It affected most of the players the same by adding 8 points to their total. The only difference is that Mark "Minimalist" Friedemann picked a low-scoring game and won the week. This also moves Mr. Friedemann into second place overall.
Unfortunately, it still leaves Old What's-his-name in first place.
Don't worry about figuring it out. Let Eric Shaw tell you how it will all work out!
ACC Championship Game: FSU 28, Clemson 27.
Well, it's not our fault that Clemson did not meet us there.
Bowl Game: FSU 31, Southern Cal Trojans 28.
Hmmm, did we schedule a game with USC that I did not hear about?
National Championship: FSU 35, Michigan 31.
Now that might have been correct if not for certain infamous dealings by the selection committee.
Nice job, Eric!
