NCSF its happened before on a Saturday game with me in years past. I took a 10 point loss. i think its common sense. Why would it be fair for others to take 6-7-8-9-10 point losses if say they picked SHP and then someone who doesn't pick only loses a point. Doesn't matter for him anyways he's already in MUDSAND err Quicksand
NCP Pick'em - Week 9
- Thread starter Streak One
- Start date
Hey, NorCalSportsFan. My moneky just called his sports games attorney, "BAR NONE" from the Law Offices of "DUEY CHEATUM & HOWE" and was told that what the Streaker said will hold-up in any kangaroo or baboon court in the land! It will be interesting to see how many of this week's picker will change their picks before, I guess, the usual 7:00 p.m. deadline and drop the Burlingame-Sacred Heart game down to the lowest 1 slot. In fact, seeing as you had Sacred Heart your #9 pick, losing 9 points before the sun goes down will be quite a hit to your sterling pick-um reord of late. My monkey tells me to tell your mokney, not to change your picks already made, but to simply post a second set of picks with burlingame-Saccred Heart down at the bottom of the list and, walla, you've got both bases covered if, indeed, this weeks pik-em turns into one of the most controversial ones in the torrid history of the contest! Muds
MUDSAND, eh? Nice one HEATER. The only comeback I've got is, "If you can't stand the HEAT in the kitchen," but its not very apropos as far as sly comebacks go. Sigh. THE MUDSANDMAN
Mudds ive hovered around the top 5 every year. One year i would have one had i picked week 0. As it was there where several perfect scores and many 50 + scores . One non regular picker got something like a 20 so my 19 put me in a deep hole. Cant remember the exact numbers.
As for this year i checked 3 scenarios.
1---- officially HEAT 382 MUDDS 248
2---- starting when you started HEAT240 MUDDS 186
3----Giving you the benefit of doubt HEAT 240 MUDDS 199
week 4 when you posted late

Not sure how someone can pick after the deadline for only a 1 point loss? Yes then you would be retarded not to, but what about the people that picked they game before the deadline and put a 6-10 type score out there? Reward someone for not picking and only getting a 1 point loss? Can everyone edit their picks before the 7 Pm games. Should be a 10 point loss and the top possible score one could get should be 45 for week not 54 for turning in picks late. I'm so in the basement this year so I could care less, but just seems like common sense to me.

Interesting comment (above) HEATER. Spoken like a true nut case who, when he FORGETS to put up the score, says it doesn't matter or he left it blank on purpose. But since old Muds has a soft spot in his murky heart for yis, here's what you can do. You can scoot yer curser up to yer pick'em and put in the score an since it really won't matter to Mr. Streak (if you do it before the usual 7:00 p.m. dead-line) I'm sure he will overlook your remiss and let it slide. Oh, and if one of the other legal pundits on this board suggest otherwise, it because they are full of sour grapes and will do anything to see you lose a tie-breaker. Uh, 'scouze, me for a moment. My monkey is whispering in my ear. [What do you want, monkey? Really! if HEATER actually edits his original pick-em post for this week, the fact that he has editied it will cause his entire set of picks to become null and void and he will score zero (0) points which will really be the lowest posted score in the history of the contest? Ho-Ho-Ho!] Hey, HEATER, it will be 7:00 pm in about 70 minutes from now. Best you hurry and EDIT your picks and add your tie-breaker score to the Folsom-OR game. Yeah, down there, at the bottom, yes, that's the EDIT button. Go ahead, now, and click on it and post the score. This is one time when HASTE DON'T MAKES WASTE! No need to thank me, HEATS. What are good pick-im buddies for, eh?! Muds
Ha Ha... I have no idea what Streak meant. I am having fun. In any event I made the time. There also really wasn't any score out on the game when Muds posted either.

MUDDS if i truly cared i could have said thanks to PG and put up a score. But it truely doesn't matter to me. Like PG choice C says YOU DONT GET ANY EXTRA POINTS for having the score, If you look my post was at 156 plenty of time to put a score. You call it like you wish.
HES a non factor anyways. Hope STREAK gives him a perfect 55 so he can feel good about himself.

I agree, the loss due to missed opportunity to get picks in on time should equate to 10 points (or at least highest pick for the game posted by all others). Since Bella123 picked SHP for 10 pick and Jordan24 picked Burlingame as 9 pick, any person who picked their teams after 3pm should be subject to a 10 point loss no matter which team he/she picks for the Burlingame vs SHP game. It's only fair. Why should Jordan24 be subjected to a -9 score, when he/she posted on time and a later picker only subjected to -1. A 10 point loss would be consistent with existing rule which subjects anyone who misses the pick'ems being subject to the lowest score minus 1. Otherwise, everyone rushes to change their picks to move this game to their last pick. Hope Streak One gets this one right for best interest of all participating.
Here is how it will go:
It looks like Muds is the only one who missed the deadline and decided to submit an entry. He will forfeit the SHP-Burlingame pick where he had it at. No one else made an edit to their picks after the deadline, so there is no need to look into whether they moved that game around.
Now we can get into the meat of the schedule.

STREAK read bulldogs logic. Your making the wrong decision. Couple years ago you had some Saturday game i missed posting late and i don't remember if you took 10 away or gave the lowest minus 1. IT doesn't matter that it was mudds , its to keep the fairness of the game. Crappy on your part in my opinion to have that 3pm game anyways. Plenty of other quality matches you could have come up with
Streak One, I believe this poster posted his/her picks (at 7:18pm) after the majority of the games kickoff times. Please be consistent and disqualify this posters picks and score this poster with the lowest score minus 1. Note: the general rule for posting picks is 7pm on Fridays.
Thank you!
For this week's Folsom vs Oak Ridge game, I honestly flipped a coin, just as I did for other SFL games. Unfortunately, my coin-flip wasn't too much off with such a close game early on between these two teams. I was just following a Folsom fan's posting saying there should be competition in the SFL. Hence, the coin flips. Congrats on the Folsom win! But, sorry you messed up on getting your picks in on time. Looks like you spent TOO MUCH time concentrating on slamming my picks and FAILED in getting your picks in on time. LOL!
I've gone back and read the threat. The issue started with a poorly written rule on my part. The rule will be amended to force Muds to lose his 10 point game for missing the deadline.
3:00 PM games aren't the issue. Most of us who are involved with this game are on the site throughout the week. Making that deadline shouldn't be an issue. And SHP-Burlingame was one of the more interesting/competitive games on the schedule as seen by the game flow today.

If you and others take me seriously, then indeed you confirm you are an IDIOT. Happy to be your good luck charm, but Folsom does not need good luck. They are a very good team. Your picks better than mine? Sorry to re-iterate for you, but your picks were entered AFTER the general posting rule of 7PM Pacific Time. Hence, your picks are DQ'd, especially the SHP (which was the same as mine) which equates to a MINUS 10 pick (pls see Streak One's ruling) due to deadline. Hence, I believe you should get the lowest score minus 11 (includes the MINUS 10 penalty). Keep trying!
Streak One. You made the right decision to reverse my -1 to a -10 point pick. Ahhh, it was fun while it lasted, though. Indeed, the integrity of this terrifc Pick'em contest must never quaver. And certainly not for a guy whose dart tossing monkey can't get his picks in on time! Muds
Early games are fine we have them every year. We've even had Thursday games. I have never seen so much whining. For all the whiners your entitlement checks will be at the post office Monday morning...I'm sure you won't be late to pick those up.
Let's see, even "if" Streak One is kind and does not disqualify your overall pick'em this week, you will still be an IDIOT! You will undeniably still suffer the 10 point pick loss (SHP pick); all of your picks will move down 1; and if we both are correct with our Sacramento pick tomorrow (you for 9 points, mine for 6 points), your total equates to 39 and my total equates to 44 for this week. Guess you were wrong with your statement above in bold. LOL! Keep trying!
Streak,
Please also confirm if a late pick defaults to a 10 point loss, all other picks move down 1 point (ie. 10 point pick moves to 9, 9 point pick moves to 8, ..., etc). Not fair to have two 10 point picks! Please note that Mudds is NOT the only one who posted Pick'ems late this week. Please refer to page 2 at 7:18PM by TheFolsomBulldog. Please confirm if a person's post is made after 7PM PT, it falls into the general rule of being scored as the lowest score minus 1. Just seeking fairness and upholding the integrity of our pick'ems.
Thanks!
Thanks Streak!
P.S. Please include the St. Mary's-Stockton vs Lincoln-Stockton game in next weeks Pick'em. It should be a good one! Thanks in advance!
Exactly H.E.A.T.. I initially picked Merced to beat Turluck on my first pen & pad rough draft. Had I known the QB for Turlock was out for this game I would have placed Merced at the 9th or 10th pick. I'm sure there were some significant injuries to the teams in this week pick'em as well. It messes you up big time when you don't have an injury report on the players. Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness!!!
It wasn't know the Turlock QB was going to be out until the game, but their top RB was taking some snaps during the week at QB.
Injuries are always cloudy. I remember a few years back Franklin played Granite Bay in the semis and I thought Franklin would win a one possession game. However, I learned on sidelines before the game that 4 of Franklin's best players were out. Granite Bay rolled and eventually won a state title that year.
Yep, lost that coin flip, too. Oh well. I guess the SFL competition this year just wasn't what it was cut out to be as one of the Folsom fans had expected. If you look closer, my picks (2 total) which happen to be against Folsom were my lowest confident picks at "01" each time. If you look even closer, you will find others who picked against Folsom at much higher confidence level (than "01"). So, maybe you need to take a chill pill and relax. Or maybe go after them. No need to jump out of your panties and call me out for just 2 bad coin flips. You really don't want to leave the perspective that you are indeed an IDIOT! But, it's a pity you can't help yourself. If it makes you happy and if Folsom vs Woodcreek is on next week's Pick'ems, I promise you I will pick Folsom. Oh heck, I will even make Folsom my 10 point pick. Okay? Will that calm you down a bit?
However, I must be upfront with you so you don't get too alarmed. As good as Folsom is this year, and you have to admit they are not as good as last year. I have to say that I will need to pull out my coin again if Folsom plays Elk Grove in the playoffs. I was a bit in awe the way Elk Grove handled Grant this year. Not so much in awe with the Folsom victories over the subpar SFL teams this year, but expected better competition as a Folsom fan (not me) had predicted. A Folsom vs Elk Grove match-up will be a really tough pick, and once again, you will most likely find other posters who will pick Elk Grove with a much higher confidence level and not defer to the coin flip (confidence level = "01"), like me. Last year, Folsom steam rolled thru the SJS D1 playoffs. Do you really think that is going to happen again this year? I guess you must feel quite relieved that Folsom does not have to play DLS. It's a pity Folsom can't offer DLS a closer game than some other SJS teams have in the past. As much as you want to research my picks the past 8 weeks, you might want to check the history books and please inform me which team in the SJS has the closest loss (make that 2 losses) against DLS. I will be looking forward to your finding. If you need any help, please do not hesitate to call on other posters here. Hint: It is not Folsom!
In the meantime, enjoy the ride. I don't anticipate Folsom will be as strong a team next year with the loss of some very key lineman. But, I do expect them to still be competitive. Best wishes in the playoffs this year! It should be fun!
Before you jump out of your panties again, I just want to forewarn you. I don't expect my team (very young this year at all key positions, including the line) to do as well in the playoffs this year, but I do anticipate they will be very competitive next year. So should our teams meet in the playoffs and I happen to pick my team, please note that I will be picking them only because I don't pick against them (even when they played DLS). I would expect Folsom to beat them this year and soundly, but next year I expect it will be a much closer game, should the two teams meet. Again, best wishes!
Oh, and sorry your pick'ems this week resulted in the lowest score minus 1. Oops!
Looking like bella123 is going to win this week with Sac dominating the game against Burbank so far. Still time to go but not looking good for Burbank down 20-0 in q2
Well, well, well, hellooooo, HEATER! I know, I know, I know, what yer thinkin'. Had old muddies not posted his picks a wee bit late (but still before anyone scored in the Burlingame-Sacred Heart game), once again, old muddies would have cleaned your clock (which you probably keep on Pacific DST because you... just... don't... care. Doing the math, I see that had old muddies not been given the -10 point whack-a-mole for posting a few minutes late, old muddies would have beaten you: MUDS 46, H.E.A.D. 43. After scoring only, what, 14 points last week, I'd say old muddies' picks (although just a tick or tock too late) would have been the Streak One Supreme Pick'em Comeback of the year (although maybe golfpilot holds better claim to that! But, alas, by posting his picks only a few nano seconds late, old muddies winds up with a 36. Sigh. MudsRmbr have you seen muddies picks lately. I'm not sure i would copy anything he does
bella123 is the weekly winner. Check the scores to make sure I didn't make any mistakes. All scores are final at 12:00 PM on Monday.

Well my 10 PT lead got trimmed to 8. So many games this week that came down to last possession. The Sutter Orland game was 0-0 at half and 7-7 to start the 4th. Sutter missed a couple huge wide open plays by a step and Orland ground out the game late in the 4th. Orland got a pick 6 with under 2 mins to go and Sutter scored on the very last play and was not afforded the PAT hence the 21-13 win. These 2 teams will meet again in the playoffs. Depending on the seeding possibly for the title
Considering I forgot to put in my picks one week, I'm happy to be competitive so far. Lots to go with two weeks left.
Streaker. Instead of 38 pts, I think I had only 36: ie., -10 for Sacred Heart Prep (due to posting late) -2 for Miramonte, and - 7 for Turlock = -19 (55 max - 19 = 36 pts.) Reason for my sudden burst of honesty? If somehow I catch-up to THE HEATER and beat him within the next 2 pick'em and by the end of the Pick'em season, I want to do it fair and square without hearing a grown man (him) whining that you gave old muddies an undeserved break. Muds
