For the record The Thunderbirds are doing the fly over and Bruce and pals are most likely playing four songs in their 12 minute time slot.

Do I get extra credit for putting down Thunderbirds?

I'm not certain but I think thats an over on the National Anthem

7 thunderbirds

Heads

what was the requirement? just asking, no big deal...

I set the requirement for entry to be any person that made at least 10 picks in the initial contest.

My rationale was that anyone who made under that really didn't participate so they shouldn't have a chance to win my vacated meat.

Well ... since you put it that way, I don't know if I would want to win.

dude...so I was one pick short? How did you come up with that number? Did you look at the fact that I had 9 picks and go from there?

I never got an invite to Hoops II.

WHAT?!

nope, I guess you didn't. Strangely enough, there were some board members there that didn't get an invite from me either...

So the moral of the story is: you're invited to Hoops 3. Start preparing your excuse now.
