Well the Gridiron Pick'em has now come to a close, and what a fun ride it was! I would first like to say a big congratulations to INDIAN73 who is now the 2014 Gridiron Pick'em Champion! It came down right to the end, and he pulled it out by the skin of his teeth (and I bet his teeth don't even have skin haha). Indian73 really started heating up around week 8 or 9 and had several back to back week's with perfect scores that vaulted him into a first place lead that he would hold for the last several weeks. So thank you so much for playing along indian73, and congrats on the great picking! Shoot me an email at buckmajornmcc@yahoo.com with some information on where I can send your prize. I'm going to be honest, your $30 Visa gift card is going to be holiday themed because that's all that Walmart has, but I assure you it spends just the same lol!
Second also a shout-out to Sports Rat who won the final week's pick'em and was dang near right on the money with the final score of the Cape Central game. So thank you as well Sports Rat for your participation.
That leads me to my third acknowledgement, and massive congratulations to the Cape Central Tigers who have made it to the state championship game for the first time in school history! What an accomplishment! Good luck, I hope you guys can bring back the trophy to Southeast Missouri, and safe travels!
Finally thank you to everyone who played along this year, for the awesome compliments and kind words all year long, and the great participation. I believe we had 95 total people jump in the pick'em this year shattering the record for the amount of people that have ever participated in one of my pick'ems. So that was really cool to me! Now I am going to put in a small plug for my upcoming Roundball Basketball Pick'em haha. I won't be doing any Riverbend games; I think I would like to start it with the first games of the SEMO Conference Tournament, which already look like they are going to be some dandies. Remember that the Roundball Pick'em often features Tuesday games, but with the amount of games, and the far great number of teams, points can be scored very quickly and often in this format. And again with there being more teams to choose from, we often have a more diverse fan base play that game than the Gridiron Pick'em, so I am looking forward to that, stay tuned.
Thanks again everyone, it was fun; see some of you all next football season!

Darn it!! Surely there's some hanging chads or a car full of ballots that haven't been counted somewhere!!! Seriously, great job Indian73. I had a lot of fun doing this and look forward to it again next year. Thanks Buck for the opportunity to do this.

Yeah DR you were super close! You had a perfect last week and Indian didn't, and it really closed the gap. But maybe you will get him during basketball season! Yeah gotta love those hanging chads lol, I think I'm gonna be one next Halloween. Thank you for the kind words and for sticking it out all season long!
