You are now hereby censured for your mean-spirited and erroneous musings on this the sacred weekly pickems thread.
 

Going out on the limb on a couple of them. Might be upset week in my opinion. noamfromm has kind of rattled me working with him. You folks have no idea what that is like.

No Waseca @ Fairmont?
Perhaps next week. I capped it at 15 games. However I totally get it where it is tough for the out of state folks to deal with high school games. noamfromm and I perhaps will discuss it at Murray's and discuss it over a steak and a beverage. Not to worry, it will be on Gopher Hole's tab.
 

living in Iowa HS football for me is pure guessing. I am not sure how the teams are. The only one I am aware of is in bold and my alma mater.

gopher points for tie breaker 38 If needed.
 


I totally get it folks that I made my first mistake on this board and I did it with the Pickems. I should have never included high school teams. My first reaction was that I thought it would be cool to have some games since it is tournament time. My 2nd reaction was that oh, oh, maybe I made an mistake. My 3rd reaction was, "I screwed up."

Going forward no more high school games. Meanwhile do the best you can this week.

I don't follow HS football much anymore since my kids graduated - it was fun to look at these teams. Some good match-ups coming!
