Oh Bowl season… you bring your fancy sponsors, gift bags, and most importantly, a chance to compete against fellow Cardinals fans for the right to claim you are the most all-knowing and wise of the BSU faithful. This year’s Bowl Pick ‘Em, hosted over on Yahoo and cosponsored by Scotty’s Brewhouse, brought out 33 brave souls, 28 of which actually entered picks. On the line for the champ was not only the right to say they were the most accurate picker of the BSU fanbase, but also a mini-helmet of the team of their choosing, and a $10 Scotty’s gift card. Sweet swag for a free contest.
Drumroll…
This year’s winner is Smitty, with Smitty’s Defensive Picks. Smitty nailed a staggering 24 of 34, which is just jaw dropping considering the amount of upsets that happened in Bowl season. His top point-gainer was his 34 confidence point Air Force victory, and he was correct in his 4 highest confidence point values and 8 of his top 10. That, ladies and gents, is how you win this sort of event.
The rest of the standings can be seen here, and congrats to Smitty for a big win, his new helmet, and the food and/or beverage he is about to enjoy.
In case you were curious about the site leadership here, RV clocked in in 24th place with 15 correct entries and 274 points. Alan ended up 13th with 16 correct picks and 320 points. Edge was nowhere to be found.
Some shout outs also go to some particular entrants for their creativity on the naming front. Skillz That Killz is either boosting our street cred or referencing Dodgeball, there’s Mark Mangino Eats Children, Super Burrito’s (a LaBamba’s reference is the quickest way to my heart), and my personal favorite… Dan LeFevour’s Bald Spot. Nice work everyone, and congrats again to Smitty!
