Iowa State Confidence Picks Game

Pessimistic changes


Pessimism duly recorded.

FYI, I may not have noticed your changes without isuoak's comments because you made them inside the quoted text to which you were replying and the new CF format showed only a shaded part of the quoted text. If you make other changes, it is probably best to put them in the content of the reply itself.

Nine of you picked us to lose, so there should be some significant separation this week.
