No.

Santa Rosa Duck!

 

He had a predicted score of 48-14, of which was 24 total points off the actual score of 24-14.  Mr. Reliable, TerryM9, just missed with his 42-6 prediction by 26 total points.

 

I wish the site was loaded with funding, so I could afford prizes...maybe someday.

 

But Santa Rosa--savor it, as I have first crack each week in predicting and have not won YET in three years.  Hats off to you!

    BTW...I do wish to thank everyone for reasonable discussion of a disappointing performance from OBD on Saturday.  As I wrote before, discussing the negative is fine, as that is what a forum is for...and boy are we!

     

    But venting on fellow OBD members is not allowed, and not healthy.  I have not read any of that, while I think all the negative comments have merit and generate further pondering by all of us.

     

    Negative-yes.

    Venting-no.

     

    And we all have been in the first category.  Thank you!

     

    I love this community!

    Thank you I prepped for this honor for weeks. Yes I will be back next week and a bit terrified of Boise State. GO DUCKS!

    No.

    Given the proximity of Santa Rosa to Sonoma and Napa valleys, I propose that you send Charles a case of the local finest wines.   Would help him take the edge off when he's having a difficult day in the forum. And, reinforce what a gracious winner you are after prepping for weeks.

    A very kind thought, but I am more of a "whine" guy, than "wine" guy.

     

    There HAS to be some good IPAs in Northern California?  😛

    No.

    Charles, not coming to Eugene this fall but I will not forget my obligation for a fine Northern California IPA. Perhaps Etna Brewery.

    I was kidding, but I am also a Shameless Beggar who never said he was noble.

     

    Fun stuff!

    No.

    Pliny the Elder, from Santa Rosa, remains the gold standard of IPA.  Santa Rosa Duck, find a way to hook up Charles with some Pliny.
