#Cougingit runs out of poop but still coasts
to Knows Bowl title despite not having a
Tiger in his tank
|
It was a walk on the beach after an early sorting mishap was rectified boosting #Cougingit (Jay McPherson) to the top of the heap for most of the Knows Bowl XXXV schedule. #Cougingit was the Knows picker to beat at the end of the first quarter, at halftime, at the end of three, and fourth and goal. The 'hashtag' built up such a commanding lead, it didn't mean diddly that the final four games were swings and misses. Incredibly, 46% of the bowls turned out to be upsets, and #Cougingit correctly circled seven of them (Quick Lane, Independence, Belk, Arizona, Liberty, Holiday, Citrus) along with three picks on the nose (Sun, Redbox, Citrus). Among 16 correct, #Cougingit's best stretch was 10 straight between the Belk Bowl and the Gator Bowl.
SportyChick II (Aleah Valdez) and Husker (Rod Steele) were closest challengers while ending the schedule knotted, 39 points behind. SportyChick II got the nod for the runnerup spot by correctly forecasting Clemson's beat down of Alabama to break the tie since Husker went with the favored Crimson Tide.
Of her 15 correct picks, SportyChick II was on the money with a phenomenal 9 upsets (Quick Lane, Independence, Peach, Arizona, Liberty, Holiday, Outback, CFP Championship) and had one immaculate prognostication (Cheez-It). SportyChick's best run came early on with 6 straight between the Quick Lane and Camping World bowls.
Husker's downfall, other than going with 'Bama, was that he didn't have any perfectos among 16 correct picks. Husker managed to circle 6 upsets (Quick Lane, Belk, Arizona, Cotton, Holiday, Outback) but wasn't able to string together any more than four right selections in a row.
Going under a blanket once again to meditate and come up with winners as MPOE (Bruce Mertes) did a year ago to finish second, the unorthodox technique worked again for fourth. His entry revealed a boo-boo in the CFP Championship that cost a couple of spots in the standings because he scratched out a selection of Clemson and circled Alabama instead. MPOE successfully picked 9 upsets (Quick Lane, Independence, Peach, Belk, Cotton, Liberty, Holiday, Outback, Sugar) along with 16 winners correctly, but didn't have any exact point spreads.
Kapeen (Kathy Mertes) truly made some 'unconscious' prognostications including 8 upsets (Quick Lane, Independence, Peach, Belk, Arizona, Cotton, Holiday, CFP Championship) with an unbelievable 4 correctly picked underdogs in succession (Peach, Belk, Arizona, Cotton) along with 16 moneymaking selections to slide into fifth thanks to Clemson. However, without any perfect picks, it was just "good enough".
Dr. Dawg (Jay McPherson) was the second entry to make hay for the San Diegan by placing sixth. After coming out of the chute hobbling with four 'damnits', Dr. Dawg turned the tide to claim 14 keepers including 7 upsets (Alamo, Peach, Arizona, Cotton, Liberty, Holiday, Outback) and a pair of immaculate selections (Arizona, Fiesta).
Finishing in a deadheat, Kolarski 2 (Scott Kolar) snatched seventh place from YGBSM-2 (Craig Homchick) by predicting a Clemson win in the CFP Championship while YGBSM-2 was drowned by the Tide. Kolarski 2 correctly circled the winners of 14 bowls including 7 'dogs (Peach, Belk, Cotton, Liberty, Outback, Citrus, CFP Championship). None, however, were exact.
YGBSM-2 had to climb out of the cheap seats about halfway through the schedule. He nailed 6 upsets after the sixth bowl (Peach, Arizona, Holiday, Outback, Citrus, Sugar) and had 12 of his 15 correct picks after the tenth game. Two of his selections were on the nose (Citrus, Sugar) while settling for eighth place.
Ty Webb (Justin Collier) piled-up 14 correct picks without managing to forecast any perfectly. He came through with 6 upsets (independence, Belk, Arizona, Cotton, Liberty, Outback) and lodged in ninth.
The final paydirt payoff went to Vegas Husky (Richard Baze) thanks to one right on prognostication (Military) among 14 correct. Vegas Husky counted 6 underdogs to his credit (Quick Lane, Independence, Belk, Cotton, Citrus, CFP Championship).
WK2 (Tracy Walker), Kevin Spaeth, and SPL#2 (Shawn Lipp) all finished tied for eleventh. Since just one of them predicted Clemson's victory, the dubious honor of donning the mantle of 35th Knows Bowl Bagboy as the best Knows picker to be left holding an empty sack became WK2's to cherish...or lament.
