Little East Pick 'em League

[magicman]

WPI89.....Thanks!  Boy, what are WE going to do with "our" winnings at the end of the season?

Now that's the "Kiss of Death" if I've ever seen one. The grand proclamation! Deciding how to spend the winnings and the contest has barely begun. 1 chicken, 2 chickens, 3 chickens, 4 chickens.....well you should get the idea of where I'm coming from.

To be more serious...well just a little here on this board, the early games among teams can truly be a little like a Roll of the dice game.  How do you really know how a new player will perform; how a new coach prepares or how a " new team" will be a team.  I think even season coaches have their fingers crossed.  As observers, as we really are, we must see how teams develop as the season progress without much of the inside info of coaches.  By the time of conference matches, things maybe clearer and picks maybe be straight forward. 
Surprises are happening even in Div1....at PR, in Chicago, etc. 
Anyway..."kiss of death" voodo Magicman?  I rather call it " a system by necessity"... I'm confusing myself now.  I do appreciate 7Express' hard work and efforts on this board. I do not want to offend any posters here.

I did say I chose loyalty over brains.....and my parents did not raise a dummy.
I had my fingers crossed a bit after I looked over TCNJ's roster....relative young and small in stature.
However, the new HC has been a winner since he played on the Championship '07 Amherst team and was an assistant coach on the Champion '13 Amherst team.  I have missed his knowledgeable father's posts....Hoya73.  He will have his team heading for the top of the polls soon when he has a full recruiting season...taps in on Coach Hixon's network
Now, am I covered for the rest of the week WPI89?  If not, I have to play the "ponies" again. 
Let me know 7express.  If not, you are next.

You definitely DON'T wanna pony up to me to Amh.....unless you want to pick some losers!  Even though I run this contest I'm probably gonna finish in last for the second straight year.

Plymouth State defeats Framingham State 57-50

Still 7 minutes to tip changing my pick to Western.  I'll take amh's advice first game for Bowdoin while Western got the first out of the way.

[magicman]

Western Connecticut defeats Bowdoin 94-77.   7express made a good last minute switch.

Southern Maine downs Colby-Sawyer 98-89.  He should have made a last minute switch on that game as well.
