Can we make comments in this thread, or is it just for picks only?

Boy, I was this close to taking Navy and the points last night... They were the last pick left off my list.

PSU looked good in the first half... not so much in the 2nd.

Just by eye-balling all our posts, all of us (i think) did pretty bad this first week.

I can tell you this, I WILL NOT be using my PS3 and NCAA10 to help me make my picks next week!!!

Could I have done any worse? Well, if FSU doesn't cover I do, and get a big doughnut on Week 1

What makes me feel worse is I didn't trust my own Dawgs and bet on them
