Thank you for running this contest again and all the time you must put in to allow us to do this. It definitely made following the conference more enjoyable. I totally agree. E-Villan put in the extra effort and did a superb job. It's just one of many reasons why this fan board is the best in the MVC, even with Lord ThimbleBucket and his Thesaurus spittle confounding the wee folk. I did follow the conference closer than I might have otherwise. It's more enjoyable if you know the opponent by their names and abilities. It tells me that the Valley is a tough conference and the Aces aren't going to wish themselves to the top. We have to begin matching talent and I am 100% certain that Rags, Craig and Marcus understand that. |

Thanks, E-villan, for running an interesting contest. I enjoyed it! I know it must take a lot of time. You were always very punctual and fair with getting results posted. Congrats to Damus on his championship.

Congratulations to Damus! And many thanks to E-villan for running a great contest. In a year where we didn’t have a lot to cheer for, this helped to make the season interesting and I appreciate it.

I am thrilled beyond belief to be the grand champion of Valley Pick Em'. 83Ace gave me more than one restless night. Call me lucky. But there is one person that I'd like to call out for their invaluable advice and support. I met PurpleWhiskers at the yacht club he founded. Nervous as a penguin in a sauna, I approached the legendary Pick 'Em champ sensation expecting to be swatted away like lint on a Kiton tuxedo. He could not have been more humble, warm and inviting. Summoning the courage to ask him about defending his throne in 2023. My jaw dropped when he told me that he enjoyed thumping the previous champion but needed greater challenges than flea-flicking going forward. What he said next was life-changing. Looking me straight in the eye, he said, "damus, the time is ripe for you to grab fame by the horns and ascend to the throne." PW explained that the largely forgotten previous champion ended 2022 demoralized and was unlikely to risk another embarrassing season of picking misfires and that all I had to do was outlast 83Ace. He was spot on. So thank you, PurpleWhiskers, I will try to carry the crown with equal grace and humility, not only this year but in 2024 when I win it all again.

Now I'm starting to wonder if you are actually Purple Whiskers with a new username 😆. Whether you are or not, congratulations. |
