    Lebamdawg was higher. It looks like 72 wins or there abouts I missed his picks. The quoted ones fool my small brain after 11 hr days. My bad.i'll do a correction but I'm not near a comp and I don't have the time right now.

    I'm doing the rest online. Yes, you have to make an i.d. and password.

    With all these college graduates here ya think someone could write a simple excel spreadsheet to run the picks? I haven't screwed around with that for years but could get something going by August if I don't forget...
    anything will better than an online one.
    I graduated college, many years ago now. That may be hard to believe.

    I also haven't touched it in years...since 2013 or so. It wasn't that hard from what I remember, but it's not even on my computer at the moment. I am low tech.

    I'll try to keep it as organic and funky as possible, since that does fit the HCH mantra, but just letting a computer do all the work is very tempting. Bowl season is "only" 37 or 38 gaymes. There are non corporate sites that won't sell your info to faggots who call you sixteen times per day, download your phone's contacts, photos, nude pics etc. I can set us up with one of those. Also, just use fake info. That's what I always do.

    As for next year, if someone else wants to do it, that's okay with me.

    Fuck, it should be Lebamdawg at 72-28 like I said the first time. I'm not doing another revision post right now.

    So 1st Boobs at 77-23
    2nd is Snake at 74-26
    Lebamdawg and droggins are tied at 72. Rest are the same.

    I've convinced myself that a soulless computer like Watson needs to do this. If you don't like it, fuck off. ;)

    I think J didn't have a job for like two years, so he could take his time doing these...or he had the same job as Baabs so there were 7 hours of screw around time and one hour of work time per day.

    Baabs and I must have the same job. Maybe he is that guy down the hall who keeps getting in trouble for getting naked in his office.

    8th. 7th loser.

    I should have been less drunk when making my picks, except then it wouldn't be any fun.

    Okay. I'm going to do a twice revised final standings when I'm sober...which might be hours or days. I guess I'm a functioning alcoholic at this point like several in my family. Maybe I can go to rehab and fuck a hot crazy chick like Swaye.

    So I've decided to for sure go the electronic route for the bowls. As for next year, that's under consideration. Having done it and learned what's more efficient vs. less and whatnot, I think I have a handle on it and I have almost 9 months to figure out what can be done better. Thing about excel is, if you input the wrong data, it'll fuck up either way. As long as there aren't more than 5 or 6 games, it's not really that bad at all. Maybe just doing about 70-80 games is an answer. I did 100 on purpose because doing 97 or 103 or 106 is harder and gay.

    I'm considering doing a cap at like 30, 35 posters, but that doesn't feel right or democratic, so I doubt it. I noticed similar attrition when J did it, so maybe I'll spring for some prize, or Stalin and I can collaborate on that. Those HH coffers have to be overflowing! There will still be attrition, but not as much, especially if there are runner up prizes. Or I can just say fuck it. I did one on ESPN, and the attrition rate was pretty high, but not like ours. Ours was like 70% or so. The one on there was probably 50-55. Thanks for reading the stream of consciousness of Bill.

    So here's the deal:

    Yahoo no longer does the Bow(e)l Pick Em. (gay sad emoji) :(

    Fox Sports doesn't either.

    ESPN still does. There's an option to just do straight picks (not confidence bullshit).

    CBSsports.com doesn't have anything that I could see. I haven't looked at any other sites. I don't know what else there is besides maybe NBCsports (kind of doubt it). There are indie sites too.

    It's ESPN, or I just list them games in the same style as this season.

    ESPN's straight picks are probably the easiest to bang out in about 5 minutes
