Little East Pick 'em League

[magicman]

Somebody needs to remind me on the games I need to make a pick here.
7express...Magicman?  The NE teams seem to be sorting themselves out a little now.  Still early.

amh63,
You need to put this board on your list of places to visit on a daily basis. You can't tell the players teams without a program daily schedule.

Plymouth State 87  Lesley 77

Choosing Plymouth State to win this game was, for me,  a no brainer, since I have Lesley as my choice in the Winless Pool. However at halftime, with the score 41-41, the Lynx were hanging in there and I was beginning to sweat just a bit. Fortunately the Panthers were able to outclaw their smaller feline relatives in the 2nd half and keep Lesley in contention for the Winless Crown. 

Tough game coming up for me on December 3rd though, as the 0-7 Lynx travel to face 1 of the 2 teams they were able to defeat last year, the 1-4 Newbury Nighthawks. Should be  barnburner in Brookline, Mass. on Thursday. Go Nighthawks.

I will take what everyone is drinking here    Somehow, I got a strange feeling that Dartmouth may have their hands full.  By the way comment.....Amherst has a player from Mass-Dartmouth.

7express 17-18 (I suck, SMH).  As usual, check your math.

And we have our first controversy of the year as our good Jeffs pal amh63 sent in these 2 posts for the week.  This was his first one:

I agree with Whatever Magicman stated?  I do not mess too much with a person who calls himself MAGIC man...think about that for a moment...fellow posters.
Anyway, my picks ......games have been all over the place lately...early season shakeout?  Or faulty pre- season evaluations?  Whatever.  Glad I did not do my homework.
I looked over Warriorcats' picks and WPI89's picks...go with the leader or with the "brain".  Since I see they are identical....I will go once more with a fellow engineer .
By the way, 7Express, did you make it to Willytown? 
Forgot...Best of Thanksgiving to all posters here...keep safe and chew slow

And then yesterday he sent in this:

booyakasha.....thanks for your offer, especially after my friend gave me a gentle slap to my face....to get off my bottom.

Since everyone was drinking something different today: I picked Elms, USM & Boston which no one else did while WPI89 was riding solo for the week with his Worcester selection, I made amh's selections his first post the valid picks of the year and his vault into the lead in sole possession because of it.

Thanks WPI89 I'll keep you up to that offer  .  Unfortunately, the LEC pushed back the conference slate from Tuesdays to Wednesdays this year, so that's going to limit my opportunities to head up to Western since I'm taking a coaching clinic on Wednesday nights, but I'll probably get to a couple this year, and when I do, I will let you know!

Hey 7,

He's an engineer...You're still in college (I think).  I'd hold out for steak and a bottle of Red.

[magicman]

Back at you WPI89 +K

[amh63]

Update...Magicman...7 is a working stiff for now and WPI89, educated as an engineer is playing the market in NYC.  Still, your suggestion is both valid and appropriate .  Problem maybe that his personal tastes are from his college days and the limited eating places in Danbury.
Wait...did I trash Danbury?  My wife grew up in nearby Easton and has family still near Newtown. However, it has been awhile since I passed thru Danbury...try to avoid it since it is always a traffic mess during rush HOURS.
Oh yes, my picks!  I take whatever WPI89 is having.  I actually gave some thought here...really.  Just totally inept and lazy about highlighting choices.  Have regressed by choice....like hard copies and fountain pens for notes, etc.

Nope!  I've been done with college since May 2014.  Where have you been??
