day one results:

Ten 20 - Balt 17. great game! i was sweating that one out.

Car 29 - Dal 10. started good, but as carolina opened it up i fell asleep. the nyquil also started to kick in so that had an affect.

redcrbbr - did you want to be part of the pool? did you see the other thread?

well, day two has passed. i caught the second half of the GB/SEA game. what a finish! the INDY/DEN game wasn't quite as interesting as i had hoped, but it felt good as i am not a denver fan. here are the final scores:

SEA 27 - GB 33

and

DEN 10 - INDY 41

here are the standings so far:

RIROCKHOUND - 1 win
TheSpecialist - 1 win
Codfather - 3 wins
Slipknot - 4 wins
Goose - 2 wins
T.Lapinski - 4 wins
striperjerk1 - 3 wins

This weekend

Philly will beat Green Bay
St Louis will beat Carolina
Tennessee will beat New England (they are due for a bad game)
KC will beat Indy

Next week

Philly will beat St Louis, cause its in Philly
KC will beat Tennessee, only 'cause its in KC

Awsome weekend of football it was, every game's 4thQ had you on the edge of your seat. Faver wings it and expects his receivers to do the rest, he does that alot, luck ran out... 4th+1=punt.:smash: Carolina another team that very well should have one.

This was fun, wish more dudes played.

I will be in Key West... watching the game with two pats fans.... should be interesting!!!

Thats the only thing making me feel better, at least its only 2 plugs...... :(

Looks like it's between you and me Toby :D
I guess I should just give up now because I doubt the total points will be 39 or above.

I think the over/under in Vegas has it at 38-1/2 now which may seem high. I would take the under if I had the chance to.

Anyway, good luck and may the Patriots be victorious:happy:

RIROCKHOUND
01-22-2004, 05:50 PM
Whats the time frame on gettin the plugs out? I probably wont have any done for a week or so after the SB.. if noone is a rush I'll do homemade, if not I can do store bought if people are going out of town or what not..
Good luck Toby and Slip....
May the better guesser win!:smash:

tlapinski
01-22-2004, 05:54 PM
if i win, i'll wait for a custom! :D you can wait until october if you want. it won't bother me.

we will have to decide how/when to get the rest of the plugs together for a S-B benefit. maybe put them into a raffle at the TFCTF night, or maybe start putting together a raffle over the board. any suggestions are welcome.

tlapinski
01-24-2004, 05:53 PM
i was thnking about the second set of plugs from this. perhaps we could put together a plug bag starter kit for one of the younger/junior members of the board. i have a Bronco bag that never saw much use that we could put the plugs into. i'll throw in a few extra things and we could give it to one of the young 'uns. we could stick with the original raffle idea, though. any thoughts?

Toby I like it. I will be bringing 2 Gags, Grabbers for you. Sorry I have not had time to turn with the house. When I get turning one has it's name on it for you.

I'm up for whatever, but how do we decide who gets it?
Maybe we could raffle it off as a beginner set up and see how it goes? I was hoping to put some coin into the S-B purse...:huh:
But I open for whatever, I'll probably turn the weekend after the Super Bwol, have em out by the following weekend?
Good Luck Toby and Slip....

Thanks Bill, I'll take whatever you have but if you wanted to wait and make customs, I wouldn't mind that either :D

I knew the Pats would bring home The Precious:happy:

RIROCKHOUND
02-03-2004, 05:17 PM
Slip, I hopes ya like squid.... I'll have em out in a few weeks when I gets some time to turn...

Toby, where do I send the other one? not sure I'll make the banquet....

Good job slipster. See ya when I see ya;)

tlapinski
02-04-2004, 02:25 PM
congrats Slip!

i think we will add the other set of plugs to the raffle table at the too cold event. if you can't make it then, you can mail the lure to me or pass it along to someone that will be there. also, regarding the thought of having the junior member starter "kit", i posted a thread on the main board. let me know if anyone has anything they would like to add. i have plugs and the bag, maybe some leader material or terminal stuff. http://www.striped-bass.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12623
