************4TH ANNUAL DU COLLEGE FOOTBALL POOL: WEEK 12************

Man. A week ago, we were sweating out (according to the MSM) the election. STILL on Cloud 11! Not to beat a dead horse, but what kind of fucking campaign UNDERESTIMATES the turnout of their opponent??? Putting it in a football context...well, nothing needs to be said. A shout to TheFarSeer. Simply, getting it done. Some hellacious spreads. The below photo was taken an hour and a half after the Iowa-Purdue game at Kinnick. Goes to show you what a losing campaign does to the business at hand. And it was 75 degrees in November. Anyway, in by Noon EST, Saturday. And thanks for hanging in there!!
