Maybe @Drew4UTk can help you with this.
y'all need a new administrator or something... the one you got forgot to set up the mailserver... can you believe that?   :03:
Purdue

Btw, I'm JHetfield99.  I can't get it to allow me to reset my old username's password.  I request one, yet I get nothing sent to my hotmail.
you now have two accounts and are in violation of the users agreement, which is to say you must verbally abuse yourself in the mirror for a period not to exceed five minutes... or, you can post a poll to elect a new administrator who pays better attention- you're good, Sir.. check your email for the password to your 'old' account.

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Think this is two years in a row that this ended quick for most of us.

I've still got Illinois. Might have to ride that one out, or burn it when they play Rutgers.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

There are not going to be a whole lot of you left because a LOT of us picked Purdue this week and are out.

Did I count right? 17 of us bite the Purdue bullet this week?

Anyone ready to start a Fire Brohm website?

That would be an emphatic negative.
What was the big upset that knocked out 3/4 of the pool last year.  Did we all take Rutgers because we felt like we had to looking at the schedules and they lost by 10 or so?
Since we're down to 3 now, does anyone one to start and administer another of these, we'll claim it's for conference season.  If anything require that you make 2 picks in even weeks or something.

Folks here were telling me Purdue coach Jeff Brohm was dern good and the Boilers were up and coming
I guess his team is giving away games with stupid penalties like Frost's Huskers?

Since it pared down so fast (this is my first season to play, is that normal?), I'm starting to wonder if I should ever pick Illinois? I originally expected this to get to week 12. Now I'm thinking I might be better off just avoiding them and waiting for more attrition.

I think the last couple years it has ended early?  Often what happens is there is a killer week like this, but then it still plays out.  So if your goal is just to get really far, then yeah, you can avoid the bottom teams entirely and hope you win it early, but I don't think that's generally been a strategy to end up winning it.

Last year, we went from 25 to 7 in Week 2 when Rutgers lost (I think to EMU also?)  But then the game still wound up going 10 weeks.
