So. Football Pool.

Here ya go. Week 12. All on Friday.

For some reason, images aren't showing on that side of the site. No idea why, but if you haven't played your Golden Ball and want to, let me know and I can probably check it off in the database. No, I can't check for you. That would take hours.

[John Q. Public]

I just realized there's an "area" off to the right for the Golden Ball, so it can be played. There's just no image there.

Still no idea why the images aren't working. Best guess is a WordPress glitch, in which case it will have to wait till this weekend when nobody's using it.

[John Q. Public]

With all the fun and excitement with the board I almost forgot the Pool. But Week 13 is posted. Six out-of-area games added to give us 30. Next week we'll probably go to 15 games all scoring double.

Hmmm. Wish I could post a screen cap. Max Preps has Sunny Hills beating Notre Dame 162-158. Tight game.

[John Q. Public]

Right. I got so busy with everything else I forgot to post this week's results.

Another tie. 2002Tony and Vernster.

1. 2002tony 23
2. vernster52 23
3. John Q. Public 22
4. southocfootball 22
5. JohnnyU 20
6. GoBruins 19
7. bigbear 16

I should have next week's games posted in the morning. Thirteen games with OC teams and Bosco-Centennial and Rancho Cucu-Sierra Canyon added because San Clemente's going to play the winner in the next round. San Clemente *is* going to win, right? ;-)

[John Q. Public]

Boy! Week 14! How time flies.

Games are posted. Fifteen games, all posted twice. Make 'em count. Or not.

https://www.occonnect.com/predictions-week-14/

[John Q. Public]

Make that 14 games all listed twice. I removed San Clemente-Chaminade. No change to the regular season games.

[John Q. Public]

Only 5 of us? You're going to *give* me sole possession of 3rd place?

[John Q. Public]

GoBruins! 24 out of 28. And we have a real horse race for 1st overall: Vernster 347 - GoBruins 346.

Yup. Only 5 of us this week.

1. GoBruins 24
2. John Q. Public 18
3. vernster52 16
4. JohnnyU 14
5. bigbear 12

Pretty good year for OC teams. Seven teams going to the finals, so 4X, 28 points possible next week.

[John Q. Public]

Small delay on getting this week's games posted. My cable is out until some time tomorrow and I'm not going to attempt to do that on my phone. The first games are Friday and they'll be posted Wednesday night. That should give us enough time.

[John Q. Public]

Week 15 games are finally posted!

Three games Friday, 4 Saturday, all list 4 times.

Last chance. Make it good.

https://www.occonnect.com/predictions-week-15/

[John Q. Public]

Well, four of us are in....

[John Q. Public]

Okay, it got interesting. GoBruins was a no-show and slipped from a point behind Vernster for the overall lead to a point ahead of yours truly. Hmmmm. And 2002Tony 17 points behind me with an asterisk because he says his picks for last week didn't get recorded, somehow.

Through three games,

1. 2002tony 8
2. bigbear 8
3. John Q. Public 8
4. vernster52 4
5. JohnnyU 2
6. GoBruins 0

[John Q. Public]

Ha! I won a week.

And nope, no GoBruins.

1. John Q. Public 20
2. 2002tony 16
3. bigbear 12
4. JohnnyU 12
5. vernster52 12
6. GoBruins 0

[John Q. Public]

And for the year, Vernster nearly start to finish! And somehow I was only 2 points behind him. Consistently so-so pays off, I guess. Would have been interesting if GoBruins had played this week, but . And if 2002Tony's scores had posted last week.

For those who finished, or nearly did,

1. vernster52 359
2. John Q. Public 357
3. GoBruins 346
4. 2002tony* 336
5. JohnnyU 330
6. southocfootball 312
7. bigbear 279

WOOHOO! Congrats, Vernster!

And to everyone who played. I don't know about anyone else but I had fun.

[Vernster52]

Thanks JQP for all the hard work you put in to this.

It was fun.

I guess I should also thank MDDad for skipping this year and GoBruins for skipping the last week.
