2023 UTEP Pre-Season Picks Contest

[Alaska Miner]

LOL! After seeing that game yesterday, I will clearly be out of the running with my rosy predictions...

[Minermojo]

Sis gets a point for the winner, 3 for First Place in the opt and a three point bonus for the upset pick.

Ist Place Sis  7 points

ALSO, now that entries are in I will tell you that First Prize this year is $100.  Second is $50, and third place is $25.

Wow, I better do a better job. Daddy needs his beer and I hear Budlite is on sale now.  Ha, ha.

Picking an upset win is huge, but Sis looks to be dialed in and will be hard to catch.  Upset wins for UTEP?

[Minermojo]

Sis is cartel worthy while we're FCS. He'll be hard to beat.

[SisyphusMiner]

there's a lot of football still to be played...

[kyyote]

UTEP is now getting a point, making it an underdog game for all of the UTEP win picks.  If it stands.

Hey Sis, somone's breathing down your neck and it's not your boyfriend.   ha, ha, ha, just kidding man...but still funny.

[SisyphusMiner]

You?ve got enough awards brother

[Minermojo]

I'm like Tom Brady you can never have enough. Winners think like that. I wish the Miners football team thought the same thing.

[SisyphusMiner]

They are like 80-2 on time of possession. They win that award every time.

Didn?t Alaska have closest point difference?

[kyyote]

Sorry, and it is always a good idea to check my work.  Here is what I now have.  31-10 and Sis was 11 points off, as was Alaska Miner.  I spit the points won between the tied people.  The 3 points for first and 2 points for second become 2.5 points each for Sis and AK.

Sooo...

Sis had 14+1+2.5=17.5
Mojo had 5+1+1= 7
Ky had 4+1=5
AK had 1+1+2.5=4.5
Kidd had 3+1=4
ATL had 2+1=3
MIW had 1+1=2

Please check my work, as it seems that my brain is easily confused this morning.

The unlv game changed nothing.  No one could foresee that UTEP would lose to UNLV.  No one could possibly see them just beating the mortal shit out of us.  We are UTEP aren't we.  I won't play any trying to find the closest missed swing.  The score remains as it was.
