saturday



Saturday is a special day...

College football! We have been playing ESPN College Pick 'Em with Austin's family since the beginning of the season and it's really fun. Each week between Monday and Saturday morning we have to get on ESPN to make our picks. Every week there are ten different college football games in which we pick the winner. After picking each game's winner, we rank them from 10 to 1 according to how many points we will get if our pick wins. Games that we're pretty sure about we give a high point value, games we aren't so sure about we might give a lower point value. Then on Saturday, it's fun to watch or keep track of the games from our list and see who is scoring points for which games. We're halfway through the season, and Austin and Laura are currently tied at the top of the family scoreboard... and no, we don't make the same picks! Cheryl (Austin's mom) is close behind in third place. Scott (Austin's dad), Braden (Austin's brother), Jenny (Austin's aunt), Ty (Austin's brother-in-law), and Jon (Austin's uncle) have some catching up to do. But just like in college football, on any given Saturday, anything can happen!

Oh, I get it, after last week's score, the "S" on my helmet stands for "Stink-o" ... oh, wait, maybe that one is Braden's helmet, for "el Squecko" and the "B" helmet is mine for "Bad." Help me figure out which one is mine.
