I hope we will have 2010 season. I am willing to help support this site financially. Is there enough support from other members?

hey I wrote on Blake's also wondering when we get to get started but haven't gotten any reply.

I have created a Facebook page. I would like to invite you to add me to your friends list if you are on Facebook. I am listed as "Ralph Grunz". Hope to see you on FB :)

Nice avatar, Ralph!!!

TY Ralph just went to chemo yesterday an seen my cancer doctor she told me that i should only need 2 more treatments ty for your thoughts an prayers they mean alot to me god bless you an your family also

May God forgive me... now I have become such a football wagering degenerate that I am picking CFL....

Thank you, Ralphie....you're a true gentleman and congratulations on your trophy when this shindig gets wrapped up.

Congratulations Ralphie on being #1 in NCAA baskets...you earned #1 in a impressive romp...WoW...I see we have legitimate competition for next year in here with Walt Zimmy and GregoryS which is good!!....GG

well only had 1 of my upseys to happen VCU missed a shot at the buzzer.Witn NC what did we expect a blow out but they only played number 16 biggest threat about Carolina is they dont gaurd great fowards good so a team like Lousville can beat them all their losses where against good forward who can shoot the 3s i went 14-2 in my bracket at work so far good luck to you my friend in yours i know you have one

KANSAS IS YOUR PICK FOR B-BALL ARE YOU NUTS!

Happy Holidays! you shoulda kept your Cal pick at 7 :) instead of 17 like I had. good luck rest of the bowl season trying to beat out Gungho!

Thx Merry Christmas to you too

Seattle Supersonics move to OKC... They are now called the OKC Thunder... has a nice ring to it doesn't it? LOL

Hi Ralph, I want to thank you for your prayers for my brother and family. We finally heard from him. Everyone and house is ok. I just wish others could report this good news to their families. My heart goes out to all the many families that did lose everything. Again, thank you Ralph. x0x0x0x.........now back to my picks. :)

I just threw out some picks .... just in case there are more early starts that I might have missed. MY HAIR IS ALMOST GONE!!! :)

Ralphie...Thank you for your kind and sincere thoughts/words...in regards to all the errors in NCAAB, I put my trust in Blake to correct this computer/morass asap....all members deserve credit for selecting winning teams/scores, etc.

sure, give him the home field advantage. LOL.. he will probabl kick our butts ;)

did you guys change data stream providers? i have never seen so many errors on matchups and its only in ncaa bb... not just bogus matchups that do not exist; but I see Georga played a game at 7:30 this morning.... and I thought they had a bye...not whining; well maybe a little LOL...

Another great idea from you, Ralph! I'll see about getting such a picking creature created. If there's an EVEN Yardstick, I'd say he would take the home team, no?

Ralphie....Are you soft or what??...Belhaven by 50 pts over "Bama" tonite??...cripes, Vegas won't even take action on Belhaven!!

Thanks for the compliment.As far as this weekend's FSU,Clemson game, well, FSU is coming off of a tough loss to GaTech, while Clemson had a big win on the road at BC. If Clemson can established a running game, and if their defense can cause some turnovers, they've definitely got a shot at this one. I will obviously be picking my tigers, though I will always pick them, as their my team.I don't care how bad they may ever be, to pick them to lose would be some awful karma. The line is only 6 in favor of FSU, and both teams have played some close games this year, but no matter which team you choose, be guaranteed it will be a close game.

Good Morning my friend.....Thank You so much....I don't know if it was the *cellar* OR the *whining* :) I hear ya coming tho. GL with NFL today.

You mean Tommy's gone, not Bobby (tommy's dad and fsu coach). anyway, i'm not concerned with who's going to replace Tommy right now; I'm more interested in just finishing out the season by playing well. Korn's starting QB this weekend, so it should be a good tell on how much talent the kid really has. Our interim coach, Swinney, I think I'm liking; he didn't beat around the bush, but instead took on the job immediately and made the changes he saw fit. I like Harper, but he let our bad, inexperienced offensive line scare him too much, so it's Korn's try now. I'll be at the game looking forward to seeing a "different" offensive approach.

hey...it is really cold down here in the cellar....:)

He is a somewhat distant relative.

thanks bro. i totally forgot to put in picks this week that and i was to lazy to do it earlier in the week i fgured i was gonna have time to put it in on friday night but i guess not. sucks cause i wouldve done really good again

Damn, you think you are doing bad at NFL this season, I'm ranked 57!!! A random number generator could be picking better than I have this year :\

i was wondering the same thing. lol. i have problems with the slider going over/under what i wanted it to set it too sometimes, guess this time it worked in your favor ;)

how did you change your pick to win by 25 and then they win by 25? 25 is a weird number to win by for sure. Now that I know I'm going up against a black magic professional I might do things a little different. Nice score change, man.

tiger's need this win if they want to remain in the running for the acc championship. I hear Wake's punter/kicker may not play, so maybe the tigers can take advantage on special teams...

Good luck this week in NCAAF. I've been gaining ground each week on the top ranked guys, so looking to pass some of you, maybe even hit the top spot after this week! ;)

I'm back so look out this week :)

Hi Ralph....I guess it is party time.....heres one to ya..Good luck this week,,,sure was a bad week for me, that is for sure...:)))

I don't know how golf balls you can lose but I bet that I can your pain and probably make you cry....LOL

Hi ralph hope you accept me as a freind. I love football and bbqueing. If you could give me a secret (or maybe not so secret) I sure would appreciate it. Good luck this year

Thanks for the comment. Looks like your not doing to bad yourself. Good luck with the rest of the season.

Glad you like that part, Ralph! Me too. It was a much-discussed possibility before being added.

Lol, yeah, I'm not much of a fisher. My family isn't really the outdoors type. But when we do go, I love it. Always something funny happening. Lol, last time I went fishing I caught a fairly large bass with a hotdog.

Hey Ralph! After you 'follow' someone, they have to reciprocate in order for you to become friends; a two-step process. Cheers!

nice work again, sir - keep killin' the college game!

Hi Friend...me too, last week was a mess. A nice come back for you with yesterdays picks....

Thanks Ralph. I picked the Raiders just so I can take away any self-curse I might have put on the Chiefs by taking them. Hopefully Al Davis comes to the sideline and gets a bit of what Charlie Weis got in South Bend yesterday!

If the Cowboys can beat the Giants on Nov 2, I think they will have a shot at going all the way.

Thanks Ralph. I don't want to bet against the Cowboys. I think they are going to do very well this year.

Hi Ralph, Ravens Texans game will be close. So close, I'm not sure which side to pick (so I went with the FY fav).

As for Eagles Cowboys, Agree that the Eagles are generally underrated but the Cowboys have the potential to be one of the top teams this year.

IF they play to their potential and don't do anything stupid, they will do very well at this home game.

I'm liking this site. Almost got on the leaderboard. Week #1 is always hit and miss for pick'em but I should do better this week.

Thanks Ralph, I got lucky I guess. Wow, I can't believe that I was a few points shy of the #1 spot. Especially in week one. Damn, I feel good. Time to make some picks.

Haha, I guess the first week or two is always tough. I didn't make the leaderboard either (those I don't usually do) but I had fun anyway.

Last year one guy named Oli started half way through the season and by the end, had climbed from the bottom of the leaderboard to close to the top 10 overall. Just takes a couple of good weeks.

I have no doubt that you will have good weeks ahead.

LOL. That's good, Ralph. I beleive I am feeling the exact same way!

Thnx! even so, I'm concerned about my picks for week 2 - but I'm a number cruncher who ALWAYS BELIEVES THE MATH (however I may not believe the mathematician.) You obviously are one who enjoys each breath. Keep on breathing, we need you. John.

Good Morning Ralph....some sunday that was. I'm on your tail....nice going. I hope Brady is ok tho. Have a good week.

Indeed - nice work Ralph. I thought I was going to do some work on Saturday, but you were right there staring down at me. I wasn't quite as successful Sunday - ha.

good saturday right back at ya. i gained ground on just about everybody but yourself ;)

Good Morning Ralph...Thx, it was a good ride yesterday..darm them teams.
Going to go get me NFL updated now. OK...I'll be easy on ya but I won't be gentle. IS that fair? ;)
..Good Luck today.

Hey Ralph, when are you going to tell us your favorite teams?

If the Giants can pull off another season like the last one, I will be a happy man.

Ralph, yep, a bad night indeed. Alabama came to play; we did not. got some confidence building games coming up, so we shall see how we improve. not sure what you mean about missing my picks?

Thank you, Ralph!

Your trophies look cool. How do I get one?

I think you're going to do well this year, I might slip a bit, cause i'm going to concentrate on doing fantasy football this year and college football or course. But I'm sure you'll be able to hang this year. :)

HI my friend....thank you....I don't really get into preseason, but I guess it will help me with my fantasy leagues...maybe? :)) This football stuff sure keeps me on my toes that is for sure. But you know me, I have to keep up with you big boys. :)) Good Luck this season!!!

Ralph from Woodstock. I remember ya man, I'm from Canton/Waleska. LOL. Stationed in Belgium. Good luck this year man! I'm sure you'll kick my butt this year. :)

Hey Ralph, PS is kicking my ass as well but I don't think they count pre season by default. The hall of fame seems to be focused on NFL regular season. Great job BTW on your placement there and securing a spot in FY history :)

Nice picks tonight, Ralph!!

FYRE!!! I love it, Ralph! Can I steal that??

Thanks, Ralph! We're quite happy with it as well!

Ready for football!!! Should be fun this year as I will be starting day one on FANYARD.

I can hardly think about anything else, Ralph!!!

Was not me in the Ditty contest...
