Pick per Day on Hiatus until 12/26 (or so)

[Rick Mons]

No lines from Vegas for 12/24 and I'm taking 12/25 off. We'll either be celebrating Christmas tomorrow night and on Friday OR shoveling and snowblowing the 6-16 inches of fluffy white stuff.

And regarding the snow -- who ya gonna believe about how much and how bad it's gonna be?!? Even my beloved MPR station is broadcasting "end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it" warnings about the Twin Storms coming up from Texas, down from Alberta, over from Bozeman, across from Ste. St. Marie, etc etc.

So, see you late on the 25th or sometime on the 26th depending upon availability of a line for the 3:30 (EST) West Virginia-Seton Hall game.

Standings follow.
