Due to the unexpected emergence of a social life, I probably won't get a final report on Week 8 results until early afternoon tomorrow.

RE: 2018 Pick'em Contest, Week 8
Sigh!

When the last game from the 3:30 time slot was in the books, I was feeling pretty good about my chances. I was 10-1 to that point. As has been my habit all year, I couldn't finish. Games that end after my bedtime have not gone well for me, and last night they were awful. I lost them all.

Someone who has learned how to finish won all four night games propelling him to his third consecutive weekly win. Bucky Fuller is blowing us away. Yesterday he finished with 14 wins, ahead of second place finisher Statefan who had 13. CollegeCard and g_t_swagger tied for third with 12 wins each.

With that fantastic performance, Bucky has opened a commanding 5 game lead on the field with five weeks remaining to be played. The leaderboard now looks like this.

89 Fuller
84 Otacon
83 Wilkie01
83 Statefan
83 CollegeCard
81 4X4hokies
80 Hokie Mark
78 orange in VA
78 g_t_swagger
77 esayem
77 TexanMark
77 Bigtexnole
77 ken d
76 TerryD
72 ChrisLords

Not to be greedy or anything, Bucky's win now also puts him in the lead for the rep points race. Those who are within 2 weekly wins of catching him (if he goes into a prevent defense and doesn't score any more rep points) are;

10 Fuller
..9 Wilkie01
..8 Statefan
..6 Otacon
..6 esayem
..4 CollegeCard
..4 4X4hokies

Five others have three points each, and can catch up with scores in 3 of the remaining five weeks. They are Hokie Mark, orange in VA, TerryD, copycat and Kaplony. Remember - Bucky has just shown us it can be done.

A five game lead sounds like a lot, but a few years ago one of our players surrendered a five game lead in the final two weeks of the season. Bucky can be caught, but only if he turns out to be human after all. And unlike a ballplayer who is trying to protect his lead for a batting title, he can't sit on the bench on the last day of the season.

Next week's slate will be posted later today. There is still hope for us all!
