Quote of the Day:
“First off, let me say it was an honor to have my quote on the quote of the day.” –BW Buzz
Another regular season of Thursday Pickin has come and gone. Sweet takes home the regular season title which puts him in company with the 1981 strike year Cincinnati Reds who had the best record in baseball, the 18-0 2007 Patriots and the 1985 Concrete Products who were victimized by Pascagoula’s split season format in Dixie Boys Baseball. Unlike these teams though, Sweet still has a chance to win a playoff and wear the overall season crown along with enjoying all the other benefits such a championship affords. Only Rock Star Rambler stands in his way. Bowl Season will determine who presides over the TBU Pickin realm for the next year. As departing champion, let me just say to whichever of you wins that the honor and responsibility of such a position will make all your wildest dreams come true.
Last week’s results were fittingly dominated by Sweet and RSR. They both won their all-in POTW and received the musical bonus points, Sweet for list and RSR for song. Overall the TBU went 9-8 on POTW’s. TB won my POTW but limped home with a 2-5 record on bonus selections to end the regular season at a respectable 8-5-1 on POTW’s and 39-32-1 on bonus picks. I’ll put my two year record up against any tout service’s in case anybody wants to pay for these picks next year by the way. You won’t see Wayne Root publish his predictions the way TB has that’s for damn sure.

Stay tuned for Bowl Pickin and the TBCS. You will all be glad to know I’ve cooked up a special scoring system for the 2009 Season’s Grand Finale. (Insert diabolical laughter in the background of image of Mr. Burns rubbing his hands together and saying…..”exxxxcellent.”)
